Greater Tion

Era: All
Source: Home

The Greater Tion was the region a of the Outer Rim Territories that surrounded and included the Tion Cluster. Home to hundreds of different native species, this sector of the galaxy was one of the first to be heavily colonized by the Rakata and formed and essential part of their mythical Infinite Empire dating back to before the foundation of the Old Republic.

In many ways the history of the cluster was shaped by its galactic geography. Created from the stellar nursery of the vast nebula called the Indrexu Spiral, the cluster is bounded on three sides by immense expanses of thinly populated space, leading to its unique and isolated culture. To the galactic west, the cluster borders the Stygian Caldera, a vast region of space defined by radically shifting gravity currents and repeatedly scoured by the terror of the Sith. To the galactic south,towards the Core, the cluster is bordered by the region known as the Infinite Ash, a space of imploded suns and rogue planets and fragments thought to be the remnants of a war between the Infinite Empire and another, unknown ancient species. And to the galactic east, the Pakuuni Expanse forms a natural barrier between the cluster and the ancient region claimed by the dangerous Hutt kajidics known as Hutt Space.

Astrometrics

Historically, the Tion Cluster has been politically unified, divided, split and reorganized in hundreds if not thousands of ways. Currently, the Galactic Empire has divided the Tion Cluster into six sectors of space based on historical precedent and political necessity.

Tion Cluster
Tion Hegemony	Holman Tion	Tion	Tion (House)	The Ancient & Honorable Union of the Tion Hegemony, also called the Caluula sector, was a sector in the Tion Cluster, on the edge of one of the galaxy's spiral arms. It contained a total of twenty-seven inhabited star systems. Site of the original landing world of the human Core colonists, it represented the oldest seat of human power in the cluster.
Allied Tion	Kiber Gronn	Jaminere	Santhe	Historically known alternately as the Marches, the Allied Tion sector was created around the star systems that sided with the Republic during the Clone Wars in defiance of their neighbors in the Tion Hegemony and the Kingdom of Cron. Politically dominated by the interests of the Empire and the corporate power of Santhe/Sienar.
Cronese Mandate	Therman Imoth	Chandaar	Arcturian	Also called the Kingdom of Cron, the Cronese Mandate is the third and most powerful subdivision of the cluster, ruled as a puppet kingdom by the brutal King Robeir XXIII Arcturian.
Outersectors
Thanium Sector	Lirgan Hoth	Thanium IV	None	The Thanium sector was a sector located within the Outer Rim Territories. It was named after the historical Thanium Worlds and is considered a lawless frontier of wild systems rich in resources and ready for exploitation.
Indrexu Sector	Vorig Tot	Estaria	None	Indrexu sector was a sector located near the Tion Cluster of the Outer Rim Territories region of the galaxy. The Indrexu Spiral, a nearly impassable astrographic feature composed of proto-matter and gas, was located in this sector. Dominated by the competing influences of the hundreds of powerful corporations headquartered in the rimward Corporate Sector Authority, the systems of Indrexu Sector were often up for the highest bidder.
Keldrath Sector	Ard Terani	Mullan	None	Keldrath sector was a sector located within the Tion Cluster of the Outer Rim Territories region of the galaxy. Considered by the inhabitants of the cluster as a sleepy backwater, the worlds of the Keldrath Sector often served as vast, slave farmed plantation planets, serving as the breadbasket of the cluster in many ways.

Trade Routes

Trade Route	Description	Start Point	End Point
Perlemian Trade Route	The Perlemian Trade Route was a vital trade super-hyperroute that ran through the galaxy. Along with the Corellian Run, it was one of the two routes that made up the border of The Slice. It was founded c. 25,000 BBY, linking the young Galactic Republic with Ossus. The forces of the Republic and of the Tion Hegemony used the route extensively in their conflict of the Tionese War. The Perlemia system, located in the Core Worlds, was the likely source for the trade route's name.	Coruscant	Quermia
Tion Trade Route	The Tion Trade Route was a hyperspace trade route that snaked along the Indrexu Spiral in the Outer Rim Territories. It winded irregularly along the Spiral, starting from the Perlemian sector capital of Estaria, passing through the Tion Hegemony, and ending near the southern border of Keldrath sector.	Estaria	Dellalt
Desevran Trace	The Desevran Trace was a hyperspace trade route in the Tion Cluster.	Desevro	Dravione

Government

Like everything in the Tion Cluster, the governance of the Cluster is a mixture between the new and the old. In the wake fo the Clone Wars and the ascension of the Galactic Empire, the traditionally unified Cluster was subdivided into 6 separate sectors, each controlled by an Imperially appointed Moff, all subservient to the Grand Moff of Oversector Outer Wilhuff Tarkin and, ultimately, to Emperor Palpatine.

These six moffs uniquely form the the Greater Tion Governing Directorate, a council with supreme authority over Imperial jurisdiction within the cluster and accountable to the Grand Moff's office for any violations of Imperial law or acts of sedition.

Locally, however, the day-to-day governance of the various sectors of the Cluster is carried out by more local, traditional power in the form of the Kingdom of Cron and the Twelve Houses of Tion.

The Twelve Houses of Tion

Formed from the Twelve Tribes of Tion, the first human inhabitants of the Cluster have since organized themselves into a complex, intermarried hierarchy of noble houses each of which traces its legacy and blood backwards to a semi-mythical founder. These Twelve Houses of Tion are the true foundation of power within the cluster, even if their fortunes find themselves at their lowest ebb since the New Sith Wars with the ascension of the puppet king Arcturion and his Imperial backing.

House	Surname¹	Symbol	Colors	Throne World²	Successor House	Vassals	Current Head
Andromedes	Andromedae	The Eclipse	White-Gold on Black / Purple	Tion	Tion (House)		HrM Zyleena Andromedes
Andromedes	Deposed in the Intercession of the Jedi with the assistance of the House Archon and the Republic in 383 PE, House Andromedes held the reins of rulership of Tion from the Age of Foundation. Their ancient seat of the Dawnspire and much of their wealth was claimed by their vassal house of Tion, which has grown immensely rich and powerful with their full throated support of the New Order.
Aquila	Aquilae	The Eagle	Gold, trimmed Black	Livien			Castor Aquilae
Aquila	An ancient house, and proud, the Aquilae, known as the Wind Dukes of Livien, are responsible for blazing the trails of Hyperlanes through the stars. The current child Wind Duke Castor Aquila rules with the regency of his uncle Marius Aquila.
Arys	Arietis	The Ram	Black on Red	Abraxin	Nalar		Diemos Nalar
Arys	Partially exterminated during the Mandalorian Wars, when they were found to have been collaborating with Tion's ancient enemy, the Sith, the position and power of House Arys have been largely consolidated by their once vassal house of Nalar. Controlling a large swath of space from their throne world of Barseg, and bearing the colors and motifs of House Arys, the cruel slavemasters of House Nalar seem to be closely emulating their ancient masters in the current day.
Corvus	Corvi	The Crow	Black, trimmed White	Gienah		Solis	The Circle of Eight
Corvus	Based on the ancient desert world of Gienah, the House of Corvus has become less of a noble house and more of an esoteric order. The Eightfold Ziggurat, the half-mythical fortress palace of the Corvi, has housed the Lyceum of Gienah for over 4,000 years.
Draka	Drakonis	The Serpent	Green on Black	Eredenn Prime			Lutatiana Medianos Drakonis
Draka	From the arctic world of Eredenn Prime, the powerful and secretive House Draka work hand in glove with any force that can pay their exorbitant fees for technical development and research. Long rumored to be sitting on an enormous cache of confiscated Rakatan technology within their private fortress, they have since become essential partners with Imperial Military Research as well as, it is rumored, Imperial Intelligence.
Eridanos	Eridani	The River	Blue on Gray	Achernar			Lagides LXVII Eridani
Eridanos	Claiming to be the most ancient of the remaining original Twelve Houses, the so called "Eternals" of House Eridanos rule a proud but crumbling base of power from Achernar and their capitol of Heliopolis, at the edge of the Indrexu Spiral in the Indrexu Sector, the Mouth of the Great River.
Koronos	Koronae	The Sword	Gold on Black	Chandaar	Arcturian		HM Robeir Arcturian
Koronos	The union of House Arcturos with the fading glory of the proud and once-powerful Koronae is symbolized in the union of House Koronos' traditional sword symbol and the arc wing of House Arcturos. They are ruled jointly by HM Robeir Arcturos and his wife, Duchess Amara Allys Koronae.
Lyra	Lyrae	The Harp	Gold on White	Lianna	Santhe		Valles Santhe
Lyra	With the death of the last Lyrae at the Battle of the Medusa Cascade in 1096 PI during the New Sith Wars, the surviving remnants of the Allied Tion houses' fleet coalesced around the charismatic Vanthes Santhe, who was granted control of her former liege's holdings and resources in the Ruusan Accords.
Perseus	Persei	The Gorgon's Head	Gray on Black (trimmed Purple)	Corlax 4		Korr	Agaemon Persei
Perseus	Once the proud defenders of the ancient House Andromedes, whose colors they still bear, the Persei were soundly defeated by the forces of the Republic and House Archon at the Battle of the Void in 383 PE. Forced to bend the knee or face destruction to the Jedi General and his traitor house, the Persei never forgot the slight. When the opportunity came to break the Archon during the Argai Insurrection, House Perseus joined their star to Arcturian and revenged themselves on their hated enemy. Now, Agaemon Persei looks with proud eyes at the rising stars of House Santhe and Arcturian and contemplates their future.
Sygnos	Sygni	The Swan	White on Blue	Argai	Archon		Eroth Victus Archontis
Sygnos	With marriage of the last daughter of the Sygnos, Caranae, to the scion Cadmus of the powerful rising house of Archon, the final fall of the old House of Sygnos came to fruition, and with it, the seeds were sown for the epic destruction of House Andromedes during the Intercession of the Jedi in 383 PE. The rulership of the Tion Cluster, with the backing of the Republic, passed into the hands of House Archon until King Archaedes Archon's disasterous involvement with the Separatist Cause during the Clone Wars.
Tauros	Tauri	The Bull	Gold on Brown	Desevro			Ducalion Tauri, Euxanthius Tauri
Tauros	The proud bull of the Tauri has been a terrible and common sight on a thousand battlefields across the Cluster. From the Citadel of Brass, the 37 families of the Tauri forge and fight with the great weapons of Tion.
Vela	Velorum	The Ship³	Green and Gold	Raxus Secundus	Bonteros	Neff	Lux Bonteri
Vela	Strongly tied to the ancient House Andromedes by blood and service, the Velorum maintained the ships and machinery of the Raxus system for thousands of years. Battling alongside their Andromedae kin, the House met its final end at the Battle of the Void in 383 PE with the death of lord Arestus Vela and, later, his daughter Laenor Velorum during the assault on Creish Station. Their vassal House Bonteri, left to safeguard Raxus, was forced to submit rather than allow the system to fight a lost war.
Volans	Volantis	The Fish⁴	Red and Blue	Dellalt			Achaea Volantis
Volans	Ruling from the planet Dellalt, the strongly matriarchal House Volans is by far the least "human centric" of the Tionese Great Houses, having long ago formed an ancient pact with the native Dellaltans of their beautiful homeworld. Wealthy, and with a reputation for fairness, the daughters of House Volans are rightly respected for their mercantile cunning as much as for their strong gift of prophecy.

^{1: When speaking the name of a noble of the house, one uses the Genitive form. For example: Zyleena Andromedae is of the House Andromedes}

^{2: The original twelve houses cohabitated on Tion, but during the rise of the Tion Hegemony each claimed a Throneworld. Since they have kept these worlds for the majority of Tion's history, it is prudent to list them here.}

^{3: House Vela's symbology is a reference to the Argo Navis, the original colony ship that bore the Survivors to Tion.}

^{4: Usually portrayed as a marlin or swordfish, because, come on.}
