Grand Host

The Grand Host of the Uaquuo is the governing body of a large multi-world polity centered on the major planet of Ihoaoaiqwaa, although the individual worlds maintain a great degree of local autonomy. The governing council is composed of three Aauo and five Gmuuya, who are themselves drawn from a pool of lesser councilors; the offices rotate frequently among qualified individuals. Aauo are empowered to represent colonies, whereas the Gmuuya are the voice of the Combines. The overall political cohesion has often been compared to the mandala model of power distribution.

The most visible manifestation of the Grand Host's power is the Hwaarrowa (translating roughly to "Our Empowered Spaceships"), a potent military fleet composed of of several indigenous designs. Although these vessels are constructed with the Uaquuo's amphibious needs in mind, export models are actively marketed to neighboring polities and concerns.

Remarkably, the Grand Host seems to be on fairly good terms with all of their belligerent neighbors.
