Ad Astra Society

The Ad Astra Society is a scientifically driven organization with planetary government status on the planet of Sigrid. With a eugenics-focused senate, they elect two heads of state that work in tandem, and will have mutual dictatorial status modified by their individual rights to veto any proposition brought forth by each other. The senate only works as a balancing agent once a conflict of interest between the two senatorial heads emerges, resulting in a senate vote.

History
From previously a military organization with deep ties to the scientific community on Sigrid, the Ad Astra Society achieved a governmental status in 3085. It has spent the last 100 years galvanizing and integrating larger and larger parts of the planet's nation states, mostly through the use of genetically modified soldiers. It achieved full planetary government status in 3155 and adopted the diarchic model of government to rectify what was seen as previously ineffective democracies unable to tackle the crisis of planetary isolation.

Recently, however, the Society has taken an increased interest into protecting their own trade, reducing free market influence to stop any outside actors to control vital planetary resources, while continuing the domestic security focus using large armies of genetically modifed men so as to maintain stability and control. Their actual interstellar activity has largely been isolationist from the rest of the sector powers, but a growing presence military ships has fuelled rumors of expanionist tendencies in the surrounding star systems.
