Bretonia, or the United Kingdom of Bretonia is the title of one of the four original houses in Sirius. It's territory extends across many systems on the western side of the Barrier, with various claims to systems bordering the Walker Nebula as well as ones deep within the Barrier itself. It is a constitutional monarchy with the monarch (King or Queen) representing the state while the parliament presides over the government. Bretonian sovereign territories border the systems of Omega-3, Magellan, Cortez and Tau-31. The Armed Forces are currently engaged in a war with the Kusari Empire over the ownership of the Tau-31 system. Patrols are also frequent in the system of Omega-3.
History
Main article: History of Bretonia
Controlled and contested space
The Kingdom of Bretonia is made up of seven star systems (New London, Cambridge, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Dublin), although officially stated by the government it includes six more: Inverness, Chester, Dundee, Poole, Salisbury and Tau-31. Out of those systems, three include habitable planets: New London, Cambridge and Leeds.
Territorial claims
The Queen of Bretonia has laid claim to the system of Tau-23 since 812 A.S. placing Bretonia in a state of conflict with the Kusari Empire. Tau-23 is currently under near total control of Kusari, with planet Harris being the last pocket of resistance.
Bretonian Armed Forces are also frequently on patrol in the Omega-3 system, bound by agreement with Rheinland to protect the vulnerable and heavily attacked trade lanes there.

Crime and dissent
Bretonia has but two unlawful factions:
- Mollys are a separatist group committed to freeing the Dublin system from Bretonian rule through attacks on civilian, commercial, and military targets.
- Gaians are a terrorist faction opposed to any alteration to the natural environment of a planet, specifically those brought about through terraforming. They mainly operate in Edinburgh, in Bretonia space and the nearby Border Worlds, but some rumors tell about detected Gaians in Corsair space.
