Thanix Assimilation

The Thanix Assimilation is the governing body of the Thanix species. It is controlled by the Thanix but composed of multiple races.

Overview
As powerful as the Thanix are, they are in need of laws and government for their society aswell. The Thanix Assimilation was formed on Kurikathis as the governing force of the Thanix population and all of their colonies. It has grown in strength since it's conception and continues to increase in influence.

Description
The Assimilation is a democratic monarchy of sorts. For the ordinary Thanix, the government is compiled with voting. In fact, the Thanix vote on everything except who becomes the Didact, the most powerful position of the Thanix. Despite this, voters barely have any real decision in government as politicians can choose to ignore them but risk being violently thrown from their position by a rebel group (as demonstrated by Thanek).

Most of the governments decisions are made by military and science officials who advise the Didact of what political move to take. Though the Thanix civilians have somewhat of a voice in government, the races that become assimilated have none. They are deprived of their rights and culture, forced to conform to Thanix society as much as possible.

Rule
The title of Didact is the name given to the single de facto ruler and sovereign leader of the Thanix Assimilation. Translated from old texts in Forerunner ruins, the name has become synoymous with power, leadership, and respect. The Didact has power over all affairs of the Thanix, controlling the science, medical, history, and military divisions of the society. Thanix become Didacts in multiple ways.

They could either wait for the Didact to die and compete for the title, work hard to be appointed by the Didact as their successor, or somehow penetrate the Didact's security and kill them. If one does either of these, they or the one they fight for becomes Didact until someone else comes for the title.
