Plain-language record

The short version.

A major power that grows its reach through direct rule, military protection, trade, standards, and political dependence. Vorilan influence often extends farther than the borders it directly controls.

Current knowledge

What the Codex treats as established

Vorilan power can take several forms: direct rule, military protection, trade dependence, political standards, vassalage, or long-term obligation.

A world can fall inside the Hegemony's influence without being governed in exactly the same way as a core Vorilan world.

Its leaders prefer relationships that make leaving Vorilan protection costly, difficult, or dangerous.
