Following the dissolution of that confederation, the '''Regulan Fiefs''' was founded as the union of the Principality of Regulus, [[Regulan Free States]], and the [[Principality of Gibson]]. It is led by the [[House Cameron-Jones|Cameron-Jones family]] from the city of Tunis on [[Regulus]]. Regulans are known for a devoted hatred of the [[Word of Blake]], bordering on irrational. ==Politics== The Fiefs is a constitutional monarchy that is currently operating under martial law. ==History== ===League Member=== Though the Regulan Fiefs was not christened as such until [[3086]], its history begins before that. [[2243]] saw the founding of the [[Principality of Regulus]]. The fledgling nation then joined the [[Free Worlds League]] in [[2271]] as one of the three original founding members. The power of Regulus waned throughout the League's history, but the interior province grew prosperous. Only the technological decline of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] arrested that growth. In [[3036]], a man purporting to be [[Thomas Marik]] was named Captain-General of the Free Worlds League. "Marik" took many steps to centralize authority in the person of the Captain-General, which was generally opposed by Regulan leaders. In [[3068]], the [[Word of Blake]] produced evidence that the Captain-General was not, in fact, Thomas Marik, but an impostor planted by [[ComStar]] in the 3030s. When members of [[House Marik]] continued to support him, Prince [[Kirc Cameron-Jones]] of [[Regulus]] declared himself Captain-General, citing the illegality of the claim "Thomas" had to the throne and the refusal of an actual member of House Marik to claim it. Subsequently, [[Corrine Marik]] was declared Captain-General by a Blakist-sponsored regime, while [[Therese Marik]] also decided to claim the position for herself from her power base of [[Tamarind]]. Following his [[3069]] declaration, a coup ousted "Marik," so he fled to his power base and father-in-law on [[Oriente]]. There, Duke [[Christopher Halas (30th c.)|Christopher Halas]] agreed to harbor him, which Prince Kirc vehemently opposed. Spurred on by his lover, Cameron-Jones sent an assault force to [[Oriente]] in [[3071]], which was wiped out by defending naval assets. On 6 June [[3072]], Kirc's lover revealed herself to be a ''[[Manei Domini]]'' agent even as Blakist forces devastated [[Regulus]] itself. ===Independence=== It was the Regulan assault on [[Gibson]], once the heart of the [[Word of Blake]], in [[3078]] that signaled the death knell of the [[Free Worlds League]]. Their nuclear assault proved their willingness to use whatever resources necessary to defeat the Word. The Word of Blake was defeated finally in [[3081]] by a coalition led by [[Devlin Stone]]. In [[3134]], [[Captain-General of the Regulan Fiefs|Captain-General]] [[Lester Cameron-Jones]] attended the state funeral of Paladin [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] along with other leaders, including those of the League's successors. He accomplished nothing at this summit for Regulus. [[3135]] saw a terrorist bombing at one of the Fiefs' most posh hotel that was reminiscent of a Blakist suicide attack on [[Clipperton]]. This forced Cameron-Jones to respond personally, though it soon became evident that it was a distraction for the [[Oriente Protectorate]] to pursue [[Jessica Marik]]'s plan to reunite the [[Free Worlds League]] under her. In response, Cameron-Jones sent an assassin after her family that succeeded in killing her oldest son and critically injuring her oldest daughter. On 7 July [[3148]], the Regulan Fiefs surrendered to the Free Worlds League following an invasion that was sparked by the assassination of Jessica Marik.
