	Though Phyliss is very powerful on her own, she also employs a personal legion of professional soldiers loyal to her. They wear similar attire to the ancient Valerian warriors of old and even use similar weapons such as vibrating dobule-bladed polearms. Part of the treaty with the Federation ~~lead~~ to Taranis being forced into disarming most of these forces, so they are few in number. They're primary job is protecting high security areas such as the Goddess Tower and the Tartarus Complex.

	Directly below Goddess Tower is an old datacenter containing a virtual reality world that hosts the remains of the braindead [[machine god]] [[Kronos]]. Though Kronos is inactive, within his systems are vast repositories of ancient knowledge although much of it remains encrypted. Despite this, there's just enough activity to extract samples of cybernephrine which is the crux of Taranis' economy.

Necromancers

Line 23:		Line 23:
	Taranis' permanent standing army consists of something rather unconventional. Rather than mass conscription, they instead have a small number of dedicated specialists often referred to as necromancers. They use a special form of technokinesis to control [[Rampant]]s which they obtain from a variety of sources. Some of them scout out various Condemned Zones to gather the remains of various synthetic life forms while others take them from inmates scheduled for execution.

Some of them scout out various Condemned Zones to gather the remains of various synthetic life forms while others take them from inmates scheduled for execution.

	Synthetic life forms are not the only ones who forcibly join the ranks of this undead army. A highly skilled necromancer can use their technokinesis ~~can~~ induce electrical control into a cadaver to effectively reanimating them as a walking corpse. As such, Taranis forces either try to take prisoners or otherwise try to preserve the bodies of their deceased adversaries as best they can. Disturbingly enough, these methods of exerting control over others is quite similar to what the [[Oracle]] did during the [[Singularity War]].

Government

	Most of the population live in the slums, extremely poor areas where laws are rarely ever enforced. Citizens that live here are given the bare minimum to survive - a food synthesizer for sustanance and [[vrNet]] access to a curated selection of domains approved by the government. These domains are usually propaganda films and entertainment usually denouncing the Federation and any other of Taranis' enemies, blaming them for the poor state of the slums. It was this propaganda that radicalized many into joining the [[Insurgency]] willingly.		Most of the population live in the slums, extremely poor areas where laws are rarely ever enforced.

It was this propaganda that radicalized many into joining the [[Insurgency]] willingly.

	Because Taranis is bordered by a [[~~Condemend~~ Zone]], it is considered impractical to leave the area. The government also discourages citizens from attempting to flee or seek asylum in the lands beyond as they are unlikely to make it past the inhospitable lands of the [[Oraulan East Condemned Zone]]. Any citizens hoping for a better life often look to score a job working for a noble family.		Because Taranis is bordered by a [[Condemned Zone]], it is considered impractical to leave the area.

	===Noble Districts===		===Noble Districts===
	The more furnished upper class of Taranis consist of various nobles across different Valerian bloodlines. Despite living much luxurious lives, the Noble Districts are arguably even more dangerous than the slums. The different noble familes actively plot to sabotage and assassinate one another to gain favor from Taranis herself. One of the main trades among the nobles are access to various genetic engineering blueprints for the sake of augmenting themselves.

	==Economy==		==Economy==
	Despite Taranis' small size, it wields powerful leverage by being [[Yeddo]]'s largest supplier of cybernephrine. This is largely in part due to the braindead [[machine god]] [[Kronos]] being a major supply for their cybernephrine harvesting. All throughout Yeddo's underground are various poaching stations, though most of these are located within the Condemend Zone.
