Triumvirate Coalition History ● Evolution The Triumvirate Coalition is a unique government. Originally, the group started as a small security force in the toe of Centrality: Renatasia, Erilnar and Oseon. As time passed and the Triumvirate Security Force grew, it began to build up the home systems, and soon expanded to other areas of Centrality. The construction grew to such a space that on the Triumvirate's first birthday a new faction was born - The Triumvirate Mining Corporation. These new growths lead to the large scale population of Centrality, most notably Renatasia III and IV. Soon the leadership restructured, moving from a small three person leadership (where the group got its unusual name from), to a more diverse Chambers command with four leaders and several advisory members; with that also came the creation of a constitution and it was signed by each Consul. And merely months later a Coalition Senate was created, to work with the Chambers and allow any Triumvirate member to become an involved member of the group. So in time came the natural evolution to the Triumvirate Coalition government. Based on the groups roots of Freedom, Community and Equality it prides itself for its strong sense of community and interaction between members. In time the planet of Renatasia VIII saw the benefits of the Coalition's hard work. The infrastructure received millions of credits of funding, which led to a huge population boom. The economy of the planet now helps to boost the wealth of the Triumvirate across the sector where taxes are invested in new initiatives to help other areas in need of social reform. At present this is most notable on the planet of Renatasia III in a project code-named the 'New Economic Strategy'. The group further expanded upon the creation of the third subsidiary, Triumvirate Space Technologies, the vision of former Consul Chronos Darkwater; famous for his passion for ship building. ● Leadership
Consuls Gilbert Taylor, Estel Andros and Aurius Karden together lead the Triumvirate Coalition, along with Chambers. Chambers is the high command unit of the Triumvirate which consists of three Consuls whom, along with three Praetors and several advisory members, jointly lead the Triumvirate together. Three equal ranking members is large for the top of a command structure, but the discussion and community spirit that it creates is one of the unique characteristics of the Triumvirate group. On a day-to-day basis, Gilbert is responsible for overseeing the Triumvirate Academy and Logistics COs, Estel for overseeing the Coalition Navy and Army while Aurius manages the industry of the Coalition. The three Consuls as well participate in all manners of other general work for the Coalition. This involves media and foreign relations, procurement and treasury management and justice and legal affairs. For any foreign dignitaries to any of the three Triumvirate factions, Gilbert is usually their first port of call.  Renatasia III, the Triumvirate capitol.
Timeline of the Triumvirate
The First Triumvirate: Y06D014 – Y08D103
Consul Gilbert Taylor, Consul Estel Andros, Consul Dexter Holland
The First Triumvirate was founded on Renatasia III on Y06D014. The ceremonial ‘breaking-of-the-ground’ by the Consuls signified the first attempts at colonization of the Renatasia system. The original Triumvirate was the Triumvirate Security Force, a group of security experts that had an interest in colonizing Renatasia, Oseon, and Erilnar. These three systems would eventually come to be called the ‘Toe of Centrality.’
As the Triumvirate’s presence continued to grow in Centrality, they were invited to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, an alliance established under the Trade Federation. Working alongside their neighbors in Centrality, the Triumvirate experienced great economic growth. Due to the rapid rate of expansion, it became readily apparent that the Triumvirate needed more efficient processes for obtaining the materials it needed to continue to grow at such great speeds. Thus, a second group was formed to meet this need: the Triumvirate Mining Corporation.
The First Triumvirate enjoyed great successes until early in Year 8, when tragedy struck: Consul Dexter Holland was murdered. While the details of the events were deemed classified and never publicly released, there have been confirmed reports that those responsible for the consul’s death died shortly after in the battle that ensued.
The Second Triumvirate: Y08D103 – Y09D092
Consul Gilbert Taylor, Consul Estel Andros, Consul Raynar Holland
Minister Chronos Darkwater, Minister Eldor Aldaris, Minister Evan Bluvius
The Triumvirate mourned the death of one of their consuls for several months, as Consuls Andros and Taylor held many meetings behind closed doors discussing the future of the Triumvirate. After many months of anticipation, a press conference was called by Consul Taylor with promises of exciting news. At the press conference, Consuls Andros and Taylor announced that they had selected a third consul: the late Consul Holland’s son, Raynar Holland. Raynar had been conducting business on the other side of the galaxy when news of his father’s death reached him. Upon arrival in Renatasia, he quickly learned that his father had arranged for Raynar to take his place as consul should he desire the position.
Raynar accepted the position out of a sense of duty to his father. However, after only a few short months, he resigned as consul stating: “My motivation for accepting the position had been out of a personal desire to honour my father. However, the Triumvirate needs a consul who is driven by the desire to serve the Triumvirate’s needs, not their own.”
While the transitions of the consuls were difficult, they did not inhibit the growth of the Triumvirate. The Triumvirate had grown to encompass many systems within Centrality, while concentrating on the colonization of Renatasia. In particular, the Triumvirate developed Plan 4, an economic plan for developing the infrastructure on Renatasia IV. As Plan 4 neared completion, the Triumvirate made the decision to transition into a formal government and became known as the Triumvirate Coalition.
With the transition to a formal government, the Triumvirate conducted a major restructuring of its administration. While there were still only two consuls, there was the creation of three new ministries: Ministry of Coalition Affairs, Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Industry. The appointed ministers of each ministry were: Minister Chronos Darkwater, Minister Eldor Aldaris, and Minister Evan Bluvius, respectively.
The Third Triumvirate: Y09D092 – Y09D183
Consul Gilbert Taylor, Consul Estel Andros, Consul Chronos Darkwater, Consul Evan Bluvius, Consul Eldor Aldaris
Nearly a year had passed since the number of consuls had been reduced to two. Another press conference was called by Consuls Andros and Taylor. The consuls announced that they would again be restructuring the administration. For the first time in the history of the Triumvirate, there would be five consuls: Consuls Gilbert Taylor, Estel Andros, Chronos Darkwater, Eldor Aldaris, and Evan Bluvius.
Along with the restructuring of the administration, the Consuls announced that they would be expanding the Triumvirate to include a new division, the Triumvirate Space Technologies. This new division would be charged with the construction of shipyards and factories throughout the Triumvirate for the construction of ships.
The Third Triumvirate also saw the announcement and completion of Plan B, the largest construction project in the Triumvirate’s history. Plan B turned Renatasia VIII from a small colony of miners living on the edge of Renatasia into a large population center and tourist destination. The completion of Plan B allowed the Triumvirate to increase the strength of its fleet as well as the number of personnel allocated to the mining effort of the Triumvirate Mining Corporation due to the increased revenue from Renatasia VIII.
The Fourth Triumvirate: Y09D183 - Y10D342
Consul Gilbert Taylor, Consul Estel Andros, Consul Chronos Darkwater
Praetor Aurius Karden, Praetor Jar-Tan Kem, Praetor Dero Racto, Praetor Mas Rarraf, Praetor Mephiston Leonotas
The Third Triumvirate ended as Consuls Bluvius and Aldaris retired due to personal reasons, and were given the honorary rank of Proconsuls for their service to the Triumvirate. This brought the Triumvirate back to the traditional structure of three consuls. However, it was quickly determined that a larger command administration was needed to properly utilize the potential of the Triumvirate. Thus, the role of praetor was introduced and, in the course of the Fourth Triumvirate, the following were appointed as praetors: Aurius Karden, Jar-Tan Kem, Dero Racto, Mas Rarraf, and Mephiston Leonotas. This brought a shift of responsibilities for the roles of consul and praetor: the consuls were now charged with the protection of the Coalition, while the praetors were more directly involved with the day-to-day management of the departments.
The Fourth Triumvirate also saw the Triumvirate and Confederacy of Independent Systems move in different directions. This resulted in the Triumvirate ceding from the CIS and joining the Galactic Alliance. This new alliance greatly strengthened the Triumvirate, not only through economic and military benefits, but through the use of mutual aid the Triumvirate was able to forge a strong bond with its fellow members of the Galactic Alliance.
The Fourth Triumvirate also introduced some major changes that spanned the entire Coalition. The first was a new constitution that was presented and ratified on Y09D267. Along with the new constitution, a revival of the senate was conducted so that all citizens could be properly represented. Another change was the introduction of the Institute system, which allowed citizens of the Coalition to form formal communities via common interests. There was also the merger of the Triumvirate Security Force into the larger Triumvirate Coalition. Prior to the merger, the Triumvirate Security Force had been charged with maintaining the Triumvirate’s fleet and security. But the Chambers decided that the integration of the fleet into the larger government would allow for more efficient growth.
Another massive construction project was announced and completed during the Fourth Triumvirate. This project was codenamed the New Economic Strategy (NES), and it completely transformed the capital planet of the Triumvirate, Renatasia III. While the planet had always been the Triumvirate capitol, it revolutionized the way of life of the planet’s inhabitants. Now, Renatasia III serves as not only a political center, but an economic and industrial center, supplying goods and trade to planets throughout the galaxy!
The Fifth Triumvirate: Y10D342 - Present
Consul Gilbert Taylor, Consul Estel Andros, Consul Aurius Karden
Praetor Eimit`fy Nadgob, Praetor Jar-Tan Kem, Praetor Dero Racto
The Fourth Triumvirate came to a conclusion with the retirement of Consul Darkwater. While Consul Darkwater had championed many causes in his time with the Triumvirate, he desired to leave the chaotic world of politics and retire to a quiet life where he would be able to study and write. The Chambers bestowed upon him the honorary title of Proconsul for his great service to the Triumvirate.
While the retirement of Consul Darkwater reduced the number of consuls to two, Consuls Andros and Taylor announced the appointment of Praetor Karden as the third consul, and the appointment of Tribune Nadgob to fill the position as Praetor. This announcement took place a few months later on the second anniversary of the formation of the Triumvirate government.
The Fifth Triumvirate organized yet another construction project, which was, again, the largest construction project to-date. The operation was codenamed the Triumvirate Economic and Sector Takeover (TEST) Project, and would transform the gas giant Cirgil into the largest metropolis in all of Centrality. It would also provide the foundation for the Triumvirate to become the ruling government of Centrality, and would establish the infrastructure necessary to advance the Triumvirate into a new era.
The Fifth Triumvirate continues to this day.
