WELCOME to my plot thread!
;;Contents;;
Post 1; World Info
Post 2; Looking For
Post 3; New Things
 XXXImagine stepping in to a world shrouded in faintly glowing mist, white marble Grecian buildings, and eternal night. No roads mark which way to go, no paths, because there is no land. Just swirly, water-like mist, floating buildings, large flat platforms, and boats to take you there. A magnificent building that would have been the pride of any Greek architect floated to the far north, pale and luminous upon its large platform built up as if on a man-made mountain. The castle. That, my friends, is the world of the Amazon star.
XXXThe Monarchy of Bellatrix started as a military base. Before then it had been completely barren. After all, what could live in these watery gasses? Whoever's idea it was to forge a military base comprised solely of women has been long since forgotten. However, buildings were built, and over time what started as a military base became an independent Monarchy. Bellatrix has forever since then been ruled by women - one Queen - and the role passed from mother to daughter. On Bellatrix, it is the women who had the power. Women who were the knights in shining armor, the fighters, the protectors, the care takers. The men of Bellatrix were supposed to be the gentle, delicate ones in need of protection, and virtuously deserving of that protection. Men were the writers, the poets, and healers. More masculine men (masculine by our standards) were weapon makers and armorers, builders, etc. It was the woman's job to fight and defend. To be a pillar of strength. They weren't all quite butch, however. Women were still prized for beauty, and elegance. Somehow everything worked out.
XXXUnable to grow or raise food of their own, Bellatrix has an alliance with Orion - they will take Orion's unwanted women, and in return are provided with what food they need. Before then food was tithed to them by the different civilizations who had funded the building of the military base. Their independence demanded such alliances be made.
XXXThe Amazon Star was looked on as the place to go if you were looking for guards, protectors, or to hire a army...so long as you were aligned with Serenity. Bellatrix was also looked to for training for young soldiers, as well as a place to figure out treaties and the like, although most treaties were forged at the Temple that resides on the close by companion star of Bellatrix that looks over Bellatrix like a moon. (A common occurrence is for stars to have a tinier companion. Google it.)

Alliances, Trade, and Enemies;
Past alliances with Bellatrix such as past founders, trade, enemies, etc.
Bellatrix was never meant to host life, as it has no water of its own, and no native plants or animals. It was meant soul-ly for creating and training an army. It is mentioned that several worlds/nations came together and founded the creation of civilization on Bellatrix - who was this?
After Bellatrix became an independent nation what alliances did they have? Who did they trade with, and what did they trade?
Sailor Bellatrix of the Past;
Sailor Bellatrix was overseer of all military actions including the training of troops (or rather seeing that the people training the troops were doing a competent job), keeping inventory of weapons and people, making battle plans. She'd have been very much like a War-Lord Lady, or army general. She'd have lived primarily at the Temple on the companion!star of Bellatrix, where she'd have also assisted in the formation of treaties and political relations. That means she would have been expected to visit other places from time to time.
This also works if she ever obtains the princess stage, as such would have been all good experience for a princess training to become queen(which if this was to happen there WOULD have been the queen with power over her when it came to the final say in political and military actions...). =D And it keeps her open to having had interactions with others in the past.
Granted her life was busy so any 'free time' interactions were probably few and far between, sadly. ;<

Blood makes the flowers grow! - I'd be up for ties to MuCephei? I'll have some threads up later but mostly they traded for goods using precious stones and such, the warrior nature of Bellatrix would get their attention. ((info up later))

Water trade for training the resident senshi, perhaps ? As Themis people weren't especially known for their a**-kicking abilities. :>

Pomona has lots of peppers and pepper-based spices (cayenne, paprika, etc.) to trade, along with other various fruits.
Erm... I know they need metal, if Bellatrix has that. They might also ask Bellatrix to be their stand-by defense. Sailor Pomona is by no means among the strongest Senshi, so she might have convinced the carefree citizens of Pomona of the wisdom of having some backup protection. xD
