The Silesian Confederacy was a multi-system star nation. Unlike the rest of the galaxy, the Confederacy was a place where ongoing low-level conflicts were the norm rather than the exception. (HH0)

[edit] Star Geography

The Confederacy, consisting of many star systems and planets, was bordered by the Anderman Empire and Sidemore Republic to the galactic southwest, and the Basilisk System to the northeast.

[edit] History

Established as an enlightened confederation of planetary governments, at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century PD Silesia was a wretched mishmash of corrupt governments, star-navies for hire, piracy and trade opportunities.

Because of extensive piracy Silesia became the proving ground that the Andermani Empire and the Star Kingdom of Manticore send their newly minted officers and crews to patrol.^[1]

In 1900 PD, the Confederacy was considered the strategic target for expansion of the People's Republic of Haven.^[2] However, in 1921 PD, the Confederacy was annexed by the Andermani Empire and the Star Kingdom of Manticore. Silesia's central government assigned its powers to Andermani and Manticoran governments, but the system governments were remained.^[3]

[edit] Government

• Confederation of planetary governments.
• Central government was headed by a prime minister, capital system was the Silesia System. (HH0, Jayne's 1905)
• Sector governors were present as intermediate level of government. (HH0)
• Major part (75%) of system governors were electable, the rest were appointed.^[4] (HH11)

[edit] Secessions

More or less detailed data concerning secessing systems are avaialble only for the Terrance, Saginaw and Posnan sectors:

• Andre Warnecke's government in the Chalice Cluster, Terrance Sector, before 1909 PD. It took the Silesian Confederate Navy more than one T-year of battles to drive them out.
• The Council for an Independent Prism with its Prism Space Navy seized half of the Prism System in the Saginaw Sector around 1880 PD.
• The Psyche System in the Saginaw Sector. Rebellion was mentioned twice, around 1880 PD and around 1909 PD. (HHA3.1: MMH, HH6)
• The Lutrell System in the Saginaw Sector (HH6)
• The Krieger's Star System in the Saginaw Sector (HHA3.1: MMH)
• The Zoraster Freeman in the Posnan Sector (HHA4)
• Logan's Freedom Fighters (HHA4)

Moreover there were at least three secessionist governments in the Breslau and Posnan Sectors around 1909 PD. (HH6)
