Folas Protectorate

The Folas Protectorate is a client state of the United Systems, formerly a sovereign state. Founded after the end of the Folas-Human War from what remained of the Folas Imperium, the Protectorate is now under the overall protection of the United Systems at the cost of a full military, economic freedom, and lack of independent foreign policy regulation. The Protectorate, as per their agreements, has advisory roles available in key positions of the United Systems to allow better communication between the two governments in most regards.

Pre-origins
After some point within the folas' history, they nearly suffered an extinction-level event that threatened their spacefaring civilization. Using several auxiliary species that had suffered the same fate, the folas rose above and enslaved them. The most powerful of slave-kings, those who forced their species' former allies into slavery, joined with each other into an alliance and later into the founding of the Folas Imperium, who would be ruled by one chosen by a series of tests.

Their military was entirely replaced with one that was best suited for raids against more dangerous targets, and retreating before they can respond, all the while a separate group of raiders pillage and kidnap the target's populace. Cloning technology was developed, but remained limited as they did not possess the necessary infrastructure to support large-scale cloning.

Military
After becoming a client state, the Folas Protectorate maintains a defence force comprised of both ground forces and navy. They, for the most part, assist United Systems fleets against violent outlaws who may plague near their borders. Rarely are they allowed to conduct their own operations without oversight, but the number of such missions have increased in recent years.
