Topic: Andermani Empire


  
  Andermani Empire Information
Emperor Gustav XI of the House of Anderman
The Empire has long been distrustful of Haven, both due to its republican form of government (which the Empire views as inherently unstable) and to its expansionist drive, as the Empire feared that, after dealing with Manticore, both Silesia and the Empire would be the future targets of the People's Republic.
The nation of Silesia was partitioned between the Andermani and the Manticorans, a necessary move to secure the Empire's participation in the new war with Haven.

 The basis for Manticoran inventiveness
The Andermani were more aware of the need for technological innovation, and their intelligence services were better aware of the fact that the Manticoran tech base was steadily out reaching that of Haven and, by extension, that of the Empire, as well.
Moreover, the Andermani also estimated (correctly, as it happened) that the Peeps were much less interested in attempting to conquer the Andermani Empire than they were in picking off the more profitable of the Silesian systems.
Which meant that the Andermani reverted to their pre-Havenite war diplomatic, political, and military stances, which, in turn, meant that the Star Kingdom of Manticore had moved once more from the status of "valuable buffer zone" to "traditional rival," and their own military stance and capabilities had to be adjusted accordingly.

 The Ultimate Emperor Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
Being Emperor in the Roman Empire was not a constitutional office but rather a complicated collection of offices, titles, and honours, that were consolidated around a single person (while in the republic the "taking of turns", often in shared offices, had been the principle for passing on power).
The Holy Roman Empire, such as it was, consisted of the Kingdoms of Germany, Italy, and Burgundy.
In 1863, the invading French, in alliance with Mexican conservatives, proclaimed an empire and invited Archduke Maximilian, younger brother of the Austrian Emperor, to become emperor as Maximilian I. After the withdrawal of French protection in 1867, Maximilian was captured and executed by liberal forces.

They were more than merely subdued as they filed between the row of waiting Andermani Marines and the armed crewmen Bachfisch had detailed to deliver them to their new jailers.
Since the Andermani Navy, like every other navy in space, normally restricted its skippers to less than the maximum acceleration available to them under full military power, she should have been accelerating at no more than four hundred or so.
Which suggested that the Andermani Navy had cracked the secret of the improved compensator efficiency which had been one of the RMN's major tactical advantages over the Peeps for years.

Conclusion While no declared or undeclared state of war exists between the Second Galactic Empire and the new Republic we must remind ourselves that our nation continues to exist only at their leisure and the most appropriate means to secure a safer future allies must be sought at all turns.
We should look for someone who has the ability to begin limited military partnerships including exchange of the right to base vessels and perhaps joint military training in order to invest ourselves with a future should the SGE decide we are too much of an impediment to their plans.
Empires would rise and fall, the fates of whole universes hung in the balance of those curved walls.

 Silesian Confederacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the end of War of Honor, the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Andermani Empire, now allies against the Republic of Haven, decided to put an end to their differences over Silesia by partitioning the Confederacy between each one.
The Star Kingdom of Manticore was more concerned with piracy and the ineptness of the Confederate Navy to crush it, and also maintained sizeable detachments of the Royal Manticoran Navy in Silesian space to protect Manticoran merchant vessels.
Also, the deployment of Manticoran military assets served as a warning to the Andermani Empire, whose expansion over Silesia was a major concern for the Star Kingdom.

Although piracy is a chronic problem in Silesia, the Royal Navy managed to keep it somewhat in check until the war began; with the fleet needed elsewhere piracy has gone completely out of control and the powerful Manticoran merchant cartels demand that the Navy do something.
There are other considerations: Silesia is something of a disputed territory between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Andermani Empire.
While Honor leads her crew in battles against various pirates, the Havenites are conducting covert operations in Silesia, in an attempt to destabilize Manticoran trade in the region and present themselves in a more favorable light to the Andermani.

Since the wormhole junction termini links are so similar to "Age of Sail like" trade routes, the Star Kingdom of Manticore has a very important role in interstellar trade and general commerce much out of proportion to its population or number of planets.
Like the British Navy in the days of the British Empire, Manticore's Royal Navy has an important role in maintaining the security and integrity of the star nation's economy, and has been designed to do just that.
The most important space empires or kingdoms in the series are the Star Kingdom of Manticore, the (People's) Republic of Haven, the Solarian League, the Silesian Confederacy, and the Andermani Empire.

On page 6 of Field of Dishonor, TZ found: "The heaviest Manticoran units were 6 battlecruisers, 3 of them already circled by the flashing yellow bands of combat damage, and 6 superdreadnoughts led the Peeps charging up their wakes." However, Admiral Chin's heaviest unit was a dreadnought and not a superdreadnought.
Joe Buckley found this as well: "Another little glitch that I always trip over is in "Heirs of Empire", just after _Isreal_ (spelling?) is unceremoniously ejected from _Imperial Terra_ and the kids are doing their systems checks: Harriet refers to her brother Sean during her part of the brief as *Colin*.
And another goodie caught by Joe's eagle eyes: "When Gen. Hatcher is discussing recent developments of the Siege with (I believe) Horus and the Achuultani use of Iapetus as a bludgeon, he mentions that the current orbital position of Saturn puts it 1.5 *trillion* kilometers from Earth." o 13.1.3.

Like Hasselberg himself, she was a member of the Empire's warrior aristocracy, and she was clearly one of those who took the Andermani martial tradition seriously.
She might cherish doubts about her Emperor's decision to ally himself with the Star Kingdom which had been the Empire's traditional rival in areas like Silesia for so long, but that didn't matter.

Meanwhile, back in the Empire, they are mourned for dead, and the conspiracy moves ever further forward.
It's several years after the events in Ashes of Victory, and the new Manticore government are delaying the peace process, because it lets them keep the war taxes, and not call an election.
They are also trying to nullify Honor, and after one ploy doesn't work, they send her off to Silesia to battle the new Andermani threat, hoping she might die in the process [given the success of that ploy the last time it was tried, I'm surprised they bothered].

It was only in the last hundred or so T-years that the Andermani Empire's fleet had begun to acquire the size and the numbers to pretend to exercise any meaningful, long-term police power in the area.
Of course, even though piracy suppression was a natural part of the responsibilities of any naval officer, the Empire's interest in Silesia had never been limited to, or even primarily focused on, the losses of its merchant lines.
So the Andermani Empire had elected to be "neutral" in the Star Kingdom's favor.

Her Majesty's Government—" he used the phrase without even a flicker of irony "—is not prepared to accept any acquisition of territory, by the Andermani Empire or anyone else, at the expense of the present government of the Silesian Confederacy."
His reports to the Cabinet hadn't even considered the possibility that the Andermani might already be beginning construction of their own SD(P)s.
And if the Andermani declined to be deterred and there was an incident of any sort, the Government would almost certainly disavow the station commander's actions.

Personally, I don't see a visit to the Empire itself as likely.

I happen to think this is the most likely destination, although personally I'd prefer her to go to Haven.

Once in Manticoran custody, Caslet—with the approval of his people's commissioner—had shared his data on the pirates with his captors, and that, coupled with his effort to "save" them, had led the Manties to repatriate him and his senior officers rather than clapping them into a POW camp somewhere.
The idea, as far as Theisman had been able to discover, had been that by doing so Giscard's commerce raiders would win enough gratitude from the Andermani Empire for the Imperial Navy to overlook the next-door operations of the People's Navy and the spread of the war with Manticore to its doorstep.
If that had been the idea, it certainly hadn't worked, as the Andermani's ferocious diplomatic protests had made abundantly clear, but those orders were what had saved Caslet's neck, for at the time he'd thought he was coming to the Manty Q-ship's rescue, the Q-ship in question had disguised itself as an Andermani freighter.
