!Venerian Republic {venlogo200x200.jpg|MALF|venlogo200x200.jpg}In general, the Venerians are relative newcomers on the interstellar political scene (their home planet New Venus only having become independent itself about a century ago), and as a result they are ambitious and highly politicised at all levels. They are renowned for their harsh military discipline in time of war - when just about every transgression from petty theft upwards is punishable by hanging (not easy in zero-G). The military philosophy of the Republic is summed up by the motto of the Venerian High Command : **"Carpe Diem, Carpe Jugulum"** They are fiercely jealous of their standing as a major political force. This high degree of political ambition may be why they have established a long standing tradition of what may be regarded elsewhere as political repression (such as complusory embedded ID chips) - although the Venerian government would describe this as a reasonable curtailment of dangerously subversive elements. Certainly the Venerian Interstellar Special Constabulary (ISC) are famous for always getting their criminal - no matter how many parsecs the perpetrator may run.
