History

Once the second most powerful of the Free Worlds League’s three founding nations, the Principality of Regulus experienced a waning of political strength after the rise of the Marik family. This waning only increased with the disgrace of the founding Selaj family, which fled the League in the 2550s, after several efforts to depose the Captain-General. Though rarely overtly disloyal—even refusing to ally with the Anduriens during their brief bid for independence in the 3030s—the Regulan leadership has ever opposed the increasingly centralized rule of the Captain-Generals. Indeed, after Andurien, many historians have tended to regard Regulus as one of the most secessionist of the League’s member-states, despite the relative absence of violence.

An interior realm, spared much of the fighting throughout the Succession Wars, the Principality of Regulus enjoyed the fruits of its own economic stability for centuries before the Jihad, despite its loss of political clout. The Regulan people’s hard-working nature, a relentless drive to succeed in all affairs, particularly in business and politics, has created a nation that now bears few scars even from that war, while at the same time raising a powerful enough armed force to challenge its neighbors.

Soon after the fall of the League, Regulus moved to secure its neighboring provinces, the Regulan Free States and the Principality of Gibson, before any of their neighbors. Redeclaring themselves the Regulan Fiefs in 3086, the realm is now wedged between the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth and the Oriente Protectorate, while virtually covering the entire rimward-antispinward border of the Commonwealth. Their military has clashed with those of Marik-Stewart, Oriente, Andurien, and even the Rim Commonality. Twice since securing these neighboring worlds, the Regulans have even assaulted Atreus, former seat of the League government.
