The
Progen Government
The rulers of the Progen people aren't just trained
in politics; they are genetically bred with specific
leadership traits. The Progen and their government
believe in the Orbis Progen -The Progen World. That
is, all that exists will one day be Progen.
The Progen Government is a Technocratic Republic
consisting of a core Senate and headed by The Primarch.
The Senate
The senate is segregated into two houses. The seats
of the Upper House (Comitia Centuriata) are held
solely by Progens belonging to the Alpha class,
while seats from the Lower House (Comitia Tributa)
can be held by Progens from the Beta and Delta classes.
Election to the senate is based on popular vote. |
The Primarch
Members of the Senate elect the Primarch into office.
The position of Primarch is restricted to Alpha class
Progen from the Leader Caste. Therefore, Primarchs may
only be selected amongst members of the Upper House. Traditionally,
the Primarch is also a native of Mars. The term of office
for the Primarch is 5 years, and up to five successive
terms may be served for a maximum term of 25 years.
The Primarch's duties include serving as the Commander-In-Chief
for the Progen Military, Head of State, setting foreign
policy, and overseeing the executive branch of the government.
The position of a Primarch serves as a check and balance
for the Legislative branch of the government. The Primarch
also has the power to grant special pardons and dispensations.
The Primarch does not have the power to overturn decisions
made by The Tribunal.
Assisting the Primarch is his Cabinet, called the Decimvirate
(Council of Ten), which organizes and heads the Upper
and Lower Senate. The Decimvirate also acts as a collective
Second in Command to the Primarch.
The Tribunal
The true power of the Technocratic Republic is held by
the Tribunal. This is the only Progen governing body that
has the power to remove a Primarch from office and even
then only during extreme circumstances. The Tribunal is
given responsibility as the Progens' Law Givers and the
Tribunal is responsible for handling problems between
the City-States, Colonies and Stations. The Tribunal is
also in charge of handling capital offenses. The Lower
Tribunals, which are the equivalent of local government,
handle non-capital offenses within their governing districts.
Legatus Magnus
The Legatus Magnus is an appointed position similar to
a Secretary of State. If the Primarch were to die or be
removed from office during his term, the Legatus Magnus
would assume the role of the Primarch in his place.
The Virtuals
The Virtuals are actually recordings of all previous Primarchs
who have served in prior years. Each Primarch's consciousness
has been recorded and stored into a living computer called
the Machina Republica. All of the past recordings serve
as a collective mind for the current Primarch, who is
the only Progen outside of the Sabine Order allowed to
access this information. The Virtuals are only referred
to only in times of extreme duress. |
