Preface

The Awakened Empire of The Mindset currently claims several extra-Solar objects as sovereign territory, and considers unauthorised infringement of Mindsettian territorial claims to be a direct violation of Mindsettian rights of claim, and a declaration of war. Below is a complete list of all Mindsettian territorial claims, both intra and extra-Solar.

Claims

Solar Systems

The Mindset controls neither the resources nor need to claim huge expanses of mostly empty space, and so only claims one full system, in which the most sensitive diplomatic and military assets reside: the capital system of Midna Beta. Midna Beta is by far the largest and most heavily defended of all Mindsettian territory, and is the location of both the industrial and governmental seats of power, the Mindsettian Cityships.

Planetary Claims

With a restrictively small fleet in comparision to the vastness of space, The Mindset does not see any feasible way in which to claim any further full systems. Consequentially, all other planetary claims by The Mindset are restricted to either one body within a system, or even simply a part of a planetoid.

• Barnard's Star
  • Distance from Sol: 6.0ly
  • Claimed Planet: Barnard III
  • Planet Conditions: Terrestrial
  • Primary Use: Agricultural farming planet

• BD Gliese 229
  • Distance from Sol: 8.8ly
  • Claimed Planet: BD Gliese II
  • Planetary Conditions: Terrestrial
  • Primary Use: Agricultural farming planet

• HPMS
  • Distance from Sol: 7.5ly
  • Claimed Planet: HPMS IV
  • Planetary Conditions: Terrestrial/Jungle
  • Primary Use: Heavy industry

• Wolf 359
  • Distance from Sol: 7.8ly
  • Claimed Planet: Wolf 359 I
  • Planetary Conditions: Desert
  • Primary Use: Military Operations/Classified

Miscellaneous Claims

The Mindset retains interests in many parts of the galaxy which are currently inaccessable or infeasible to capitalise upon.

• Rhetalia (Formerly of Indra Prime)
  • Distance from Sol: ~25,000ly
  • Claimed Planet: Outermost gas giant
  • Planetary Conditions: Supergas Giant
  • Primary Use: Diplomatic communications relay station

• Colsack Dark Nebula
  • Distance from Sol: ~20,000ly
  • Primary Use: Location of ESUS Senate chambers

• Midna Solaris (Ancient capital of The Mindset)
  • Distance from Sol: 11.3ly
  • Claimed Planet: n/a
  • Conditions: Expanding supernova gaseous cloud
  • Primary Use: Ceremonial tribute to the dead, no further value
