Fareken Confederation

The Fareken Confederation is an oligopoly of trade houses based on the autonomous city-states dotted across the surface of Natwoesti. The central government maintains little control beyond setting down trade rules between houses and cities.

The Farek people evolved as nomadic hunters that quickly developed into herders, periodically stopping at oases to harvest particular nutrients and water-rich fruits. Over time, permanent settlements were established at these oases which gradually grew into cities, the nomadic population enduring as trade caravans running between cities.

In the space age the Confederation has spread across the Fares system, establishing new city-states on the various planets, moons, and asteroids of their home system and freighters plying the space lanes. With the invention of warp drive, the houses seek to explore strange new stars, seek out new markets, and boldly trade where no merchant has traded before.
