The Manticore Conservative Association was one of the six main political parties of the Star Kingdom of Manticore's government.
The Conservative Association valued power and privilege, seeking to enhance the power of the nobility. Their foreign policy was isolationist, seeing involvement in foreign affairs as risky and dangerous. They were moderate backers of the military, as a reasonably strong military was needed to police the borders and protect the Star Kingdom's profitable trade. (HHA1.4: UHH)
History[]
In 1901 PD, the power of the MCA was considered broken because of the incident at Medusa. The leader of the party at that time was Michael Janvier, Baron High Ridge. (HH1)
The MCA effectively ceased to exist as a political party in the fallout of the collapse of the High Ridge government in 1919 PD. (HH11)
