The Magistracy of Canopus is an interstellar nation located in the Periphery. The Magistracy is a matriarchal society led by a Magestrix of the Centrella family. The capital is in the city of Crimson on Canopus.
Under Star League rule, the Magistracy of Canopus, though technically an occupied state, fared better than most of its contemporary Periphery realms. Generous aid from the League helped restore the pleasure industry ravaged by the Reunification War, and the nation benefited from an age of peace and prosperity. By the time of the Amaris Crisis, these fortunes had reversed, and the Magistracy declared its independence and immediately switched to defensive mode, hoping to survive the difficult times ahead from a posture of armed neutrality. Unfortunately, such neutrality would not be enough to weather the three-hundred-year storm that was the Succession Wars.
The Canopians turned to diplomacy in the 3030s, making an alliance with the Duchy of Andurien to invade the struggling Capellan Confederation. Though unsuccessful, this effort prompted the rise of Emma Centrella and ultimately led to a new era of growing prosperity for the Magistracy. In a strange twist, a new alliance brought the Canopians and Capellans (and, for a few brief years, the Taurians) together in the years after the Clan invasion and even saw the marriage of the Capellan Chancellor and the Magestrix’s daughter.
The Magistracy has survived occupation by the Word of Blake and the death of Emma Centrella but is marching forward into the future with its Capellan alliance stronger than ever. Speculation whether this will result in a complete merger of the two nations is perhaps jumping the gun a bit, but together they have proven their collective fortitude in the face of adversity.
