The Federation Gier began as a a mining expedition to the second moon of Chorex IIIFund by a large group of mining Consortiums and the Imperial goverment.  It consisted of a Battalion of Navy cruisers and Flottia of mining vessals.  The moon, while airless and tiny, was extremely mineral rich and the profits were so great that many permanent settlements began to spring up across the surface.

The highlands of Gier form a stark picture. Rolling highlands, often barren, stretch out to the horizen, Only to be dominated by the mass Acrology Hives That tower like Blackened Ziggurats belching smoke into the dismal air.

Gier didnt began as such, originally an empty stretch of land its mineral wealth became apparent and mining towns quickly began to sprout up around the terrain, and a single large city was founded to govern the large region. Cause it was of little importance it was largely ignored during the Alurus War of Acension and proved to be a haven for corperation fleeing their wartorn countries in addition of thousands of immigrants. These groups began to work together to form a posistion of safty in the hurracane of war that surronded them.

This ended after General Vanivar's defeat and rout from consortium forces at the closing stages of the war his army began to retreat in the barely recovering area, still powerful the short and bloodly war for a new base brought The highlands of Gier under his control.

The reason of this is believed because of the corperations lack of support to the war effort, something attributed to back room agreements and deals, and seems obvious now that the Major corperations that opted out of the war are now such powerful players.

So their new goverment was formed, head of state is the Co-ordinator General of Geirs Armed Forces. He is controled by an Executive Council, 100 votes are owned by different parent corperations, each able to buy and sell their votes like stock. Finally to propose bills, is the Legaslative assembly, with the top 500 companies each recieving one vote.

Currently The federation of Gier has evolved into a powerhouse state. the highlands themselves are still barren as no ecorestoration has even been tried (they are in fact getting worse), instead massive Acrologies have sprung up. Each reaching high into the sky, and stretching deep below the surface. At the lowest levels you find mines, some abandoned some still in use. Thanks to no central goverment control on the digging of mines they form an extremely chaotic pattern and no complete map exists. Within the mines you find runaways, criminals and the poorest of Gierites. Above them, normally at ground level reside the wardens, home to the working poor of Gier, unskilled and replacable, they walk the thin line of survival, they are known to the rest of society as minderwertiges. Still above that, Is the corperate residences of skilled labourers, with a standerd of living comparable with most nations they live a secure life of servitude to their parent corperation.

Above the Corperate residences are the military functions and public facilities. They have Barracks and always manned defense weapons. These areas are strictly guarded and of limits to minderwertiges and foreigners. The Army is the only none-corperate job on the highlands and is highly sought after in terms of those exploited by Companies. Above them and nested at the peak of the Acro lies the Corperate estates. Anyone of importance rests here in large gardens and spacous homes.
