The Kingdom of Sivad is one of the largest polities in the known galaxy; in 3005, it holds sway over a population in excess of a billion, not including specialists, and includes five inhabited worlds in four systems. Its navy, the Royal Naval Service, was believed to be second only to the Parallz Empire in tonnage and hulls before the defeat of the latter during the Birthright War. Its economy, fueled by polydenum from the Sivadian moon of Morrigan and nanotechnology from Waldheim, amounts to several trillion Yojj-sterling a year.
