Octavius' culture has been misrepresented by outsiders as crude, coarse, and even animalistic. Although the Way of the Warrior is highly lauded by most, if not all, of Octavius, the warrior's code can be likened to that of a classical Knight. Many knights, it must be admitted, profess allegiance to darker lords than others. Warriors are expected to defend their castella, their syncla, their families, and their honor from all threats, in exchange for the support and loyalty of those they defend. They are sworn to their liege lords, as well as their subjects, to the protection of their newly reclaimed land, the farmers and citizens residing on them, and to answer any call of arms.

Nobility

The Nobility are the only class permitted to administer and manage cities, fiefdoms, provinces, planets, stations, sectors, and quadrants. This tradition is a long-standing one, and the best efforts of the warrior class have been unable to dislodge them from what they feel to be their hereditary posts.

The Halls

The Halls of Octavius are comprised of it's Warriors and Pilots. The Hall of Warriors is specifically for Warriors culled from the ranks of the ground-based military, and marines. The Hall of Valor is comprised completely of pilots, and is meant to give them a large voice in the governance of their Empire.

Hall of Valor

The Hall of Valor is meant to give the pilots of Octavia their "due", when it comes to governance of the Empire. In the course of the recent revolts, pilots demanded, and were given, an increased voice in governmental affairs. Needless to say, the nobility were not pleased, but circumstances required the changes. Their areas of responsibilty end at a planetary atmosphere.

	Hall levels	Differ according to rank
	Upper Hall	Highest echelon before promotion to Council. Approves military policy and decisions.
	Middle Hall	Mid-rank - approves advancement of issues to the Upper Hall.
	Lower Hall	Introduces and approves issues to be advanced to the Middle Hall.
	Qualifications	Lower, Middle, and Upper all have rank requirements for inclusion.

Hall of Warriors

The Hall of Warriors is quite a bit older than the Hall of Valor. In historical times, it was merely a venue for warriors to vent their grievances with their commanders, rulers, and overlords. Now, it has become a legitimate part of the government. Their areas of responsibility are limited to the planetary surface.

	NPC hall (for now)
	Introduce issues from planetside to the council
	Barometer of the people and their protectors
	Required for passage of issues to Council
	Weaker than Valor, but necessary for unity. Though, this IS Octavius.
