The cruel overlord known as THE DIRECTRIX lords over the gas giant Promise and all of its associated moons, outposts, planetoids, and stations.
After seizing power in a coup when the previous government collapsed, The Directrix instituted a new republic with her at the center. Combining twentieth century South American military-style dictatorship with US American lobbying, she lords over a cruel state in which resistance is punished and disobedience is severely punished.
Promise's largest moon is a planet-sized and tidally locked body known as The Eye for its location above a massive storm that rages across the surface of the gas giant. It is from here that she runs her panopticon empire; a petty dictator that seeks to make sure everyone in the system knows, adores, and obeys her commands.
The Directrix holds strict stances, all enforced by her cult of personality. Sophisticated technologies such as nanofabrication are banned. Lethal weapons, which had always been a rarity, are outright forbidden for both her security forces and citizens. Both use more 'creative' ways to keep control or resist her grip.
From her bridge on her warship, the assault carrier known as The Hegemon, she casts a greedy eye at new targets for conquest...
