Irrgh Manifest
From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future
The Irrgh Manifest is a sizable and long-established interstellar state occupying the rimward portion of Provence Sector. From its capital at Igunfaksa (Provence 1731), the Irrgh Manifest has dominated politics in Aenkuk and Voudzeur Subsectors since its inception in the early 400s. The state is named after the charter that created it.
The Irrgh Manifest is a heated enemy of the Glory of Taarskoerzn. Before the Rebellion era, the Taarskoerzn state held a small area of space along the spinward border of the Windhorn rift.
But in 1117, the Taarskoerzn government hired corsairs to drive a safe path through Irrgh territory toward the Imperium. This starlane effectively divided Irrgh operations. The spinward half eventually allied itself with the neighboring Dzarrgh Federate after early border disputes. The larger trailing portion of the Manifest, including Igunfaksa, tried to avoid alliances and struck into Corridor independently.
Eventually, like most raiding groups, the trailing fraction of Irrgh territory fell under the dominance of the Depot-backed Vaenggvae corsairs. As the Vaenggvae were originally associated with the Glory of Taarskoerzn, this domination has humiliated the Irrgh leadership.
A sizable and long-established interstellar state in Provence sector, the Manifest is bordered by two enemies: the Domain of Deneb and the Glory of Taarskoerzn. The Irrgh-Taarskoerzn rivalry has existed since Glory forces cut a channel through the Manifest toward the Domain. If not for the terms of alliance imposed by the Vaenggvae, the Irrgh navy would focus its wrath on the Taarskoerzn worlds. As it is, though, the Irrgh forces have no choice but to lay siege to the human worlds in Corridor - a task which they have adopted with great zeal.
