The Satellite Kingdoms

Excerpt from Volume 9, Chapter 15

In the context of the silver millennium, the satellite kingdoms were just as important as those of the main planetary kingdoms. However within their own sphere of influence they had their own unique Dynamics and relationships between each other as well as their parent worlds.

First we must ask ourselves what defines a satellite Kingdom. Most often it is used to describe the moons which orbits the plants the solar system and their respective kingdoms. However this term can also be used for any planetary body which is subservient to a much larger one for example, the dwarf planet Salacia, do a large independent planetary body and its own rights pledge this loyalty to the larger planet quinox and those could be seen as a satellite Kingdom.

It is also important to note the distinctions between each satellite Kingdom. Though in the service of the larger planets many had their own independent governments, culture and rulers, which for the most part acted on their own. As well each planets had a different relationship with their satellite kingdoms. The neptunian and Jovian satellite kingdoms for example were highly loyal to their home worlds. Uranus mostly use their satellite kingdoms as an extension of their industrial work. Most infamously the plutonian satellites we're almost equal in strength to their Homeworld with Charon being a fine example of this.

As many of these planets utilize their satellite Kingdoms in the defense of their own worlds as well as helping them in other matters, their loss during the war of the satellites provide a devastating blow to the silver millennium weakening its and contributing perhaps to its fall ultimately.
