Obek

Obek is the oldest World Power still in existence in Titan. Predating even the memory of Holo-Athuan historians, Obek has remained loyal to the hereditery line of the King since times unknowable. Geographically, Obek is mostly overrun by dense jungle, which is home to a host of dangerous wildlife and neurological diseases. Even though Obek is the largest single landmass on Titan, only a surprisingly small portion of it is liveable to the standards of quality expected of any other World Power. The jungle is not without it's merits however. A variety of spices, fruits, high quality timber, hides, pelts, and other exotic goods give Obek a respectable bargaining position in world trade.

Military

The Obek military is primarily naval, as the mainland itself is presumably unassailable. Topographically speaking, Obek offers very little beach proper, and the few long strips of beach it does have are extremely defensible, most notably the Checha-Tezna, Obek's capital port-city. The Obek maritime force consists of roughly six thousand vessels known to be in service, ranging in class from frigate to destroyer, which typically stay in tight formation at or around the Checha-Tezna coastline. Only a small portion of these ships run as escort for Obek trade vessels. Unaccounted for in this figure, however, are the untold thousands of pirate vessels crewed exclusively by Obek nationalists. Officially, these pirates are unaffiliated with the King and their actions not condoned by him, but it is the suspicion of many that they pay homage to him in generous portions of their plunder. Whatever the case, pirate vessels are known to run rampant and unchecked in and near Obek controlled waters.
