Capital City: Difference between revisions

Setting your city to be the empire capital.

Capital cities are important for any established empire, be it spacefaring or not, since without a capital city, an empire cannot make any money. In order to declare a city the capital, it must have a capitol building.

Empire Capital City

The Empire Capital City is the center point of the whole empire. It is the place from which all government business is done and where all or most of the official government buildings are located. In Hazeron Starship, one city in each empire may be designated as the empire capital. Any city can be declared the capital of the empire, as long as it has a capitol building. Government officials with the correct permissions can designate a city to be the empire capital city.

The empire capital city is an important and strategic part of an empire. Here is why:

Sensor consoles aboard spacecraft display a distinctive blip for the empire capital city.
The DNA of citizens in the capital city will be the base DNA shown when viewing the empire on empire joining list.

Galaxy Capital City

One city of an empire in each galaxy may be designated as the galactic capital. In order to become a galaxy capital, the city must have a capitol building. Government officials with the correct permissions and domain over the galaxy can designate a city to be the galactic capital city.

When a galaxy has a galaxy capital, sector capital cities and cities with no sector capital in that galaxy will send their daily tribute to the galaxy capital instead of directly to the empire capital city. The galaxy capital then sends daily tribute to the main empire capital. This allows the tax revenue from a galaxy to be concentrated by funnelling it through a single city.

Sector Capital City

One city of an empire in each sector may be designated as the sector capital. In order to become a sector capital, the city must have a capitol building. Government officials with the correct permissions and domain over the sector can designate a city to be the sector capital city.

An empire must have an empire capital city to have any use for sector capitals. For this reason, a sector capital cannot be declared if the empire does not have a main empire capital city.

When a sector has a sector capital, cities in that sector send their daily tribute to the sector capital instead of directly to the galaxy capital or empire capital city. This allows the tax revenue from a sector to be concentrated by funnelling it through a single city.

Sector capitals provide alternate locations for the empire capital city, in case the empire capital city needs to be moved. There is no cost associated with moving the capital. Once the new empire capital is declared, cities and sector capitals will begin sending their tribute to the new capital city.

It is possible for a city to be both the empire capital city and a sector capital. The empire capital is not automatically considered to be a sector capital. A sector capital must be explicitly declared.

Trivia

During the MMO, an empire needed to have an empire capital city in order to be tallied on the Empire Standings page of the main website.
