Government types

[Outsider]

My old CT rules book lists government styles up to type D. However, I'm sure I've seen at least one reference to higher letter codes for government types, and I'm guessing these are from MT or a supplement that I don't have.

Could anyone please enlighten me to what the extra government codes are please?

Thanks,
A

There are various Alien race codes - Aslan, K'Kree and Hiver. The codes are explained in the CT Alien RAces supplements.

Ah yes, so there are. I hadn't looked at those sections in a long time. They're obviously intended to be specific to those races (although a few of the Hiver ones could be utilised for non-Hivers).

But what about E & F? The Aslan ones start at G...

TNE and TNE:1248 have V for a Viral Hell, M for a junta/military dictatorship, T for a Technologically elevated Dictator (TED), Q for an interim government and S for a slave world.

E is religious autocracy

F a totalitarian oligarchy

Most of the other letters are taken, but after F they're all alien ones:

Excellent, thanks. E & F are the ones I was missing (and X too actually - I never found a copy of the Droyne book!).
