CHAPTER 1, pt. 3 - 06 (Patreon)

KISMET Lore Dump: Though it does not technically have an army, the Ordana does keep a small contingent of military personnel on retainer to assist with matters of its security and defense.  Historically, the Ordana has relied on its economic resources and widespread popularity--rather than its martial prowess--to negotiate with major political bodies within the Perseus System.  In recent decades, rising tensions between the Republic and Hegemony have sparked debates within the Ordana's leadership on the merits of growing and maintaining its own military, though a consensus on the matter has yet to be reached.
