Transbaal Empire

From Galaxy Angel Wiki, the comprehensive Project G.A. reference.

The Transbaal Empire was ruled by a member of the Transbaal Royal Family. The most recent known ruler was Empress Shiva Transbaal, who succeeded the throne in TCY 412 to become the 15th emperor, and was the sole surviving member of the Transbaal Royal line. She was assisted by a group of advisors, foremost among them being Luft Weizen. Previous known emperors include Gerald Transbaal (13th emperor), and Eonia Transbaal (14th emperor).

The Transbaal Empire also revered the White Moon and the White Moon Goddess Shatoyan. As it was the Moon Goddess who gifted the once-tiny Empire with Lost Technology that allowed it to grow as large and as fast as it did, this was not surprising. Shatoyan was seen as a holy figure, and also had control of the powerful Emblem Frames used by the Moon Angel Troupe. One of Empress Shiva's most stalwart protectors and advisers (as well as secretly being her mother), she was most likely the reason no one questioned Shiva's ability to rule. The Elle Ciel was also her personal vessel.

[edit] Military

The Transbaal Empire made use of the technology granted to it by the White Moon Goddess to develop ships for space travel. As the Empire grew, it was clear that a military force would be needed to patrol its territories. By TCY 412, it is made up of over 128 planets, as well as many colonies, bases and space stations.

The Transbaal Empire had numerous fleets made up of the Spard-class destroyers, Barmell-class cruisers (one of which Tact Mayers commanded in the beginning) and the powerful Zaff-class battleships.
