 ===Government===
-There was mention of a ''Central Command''. This could be the main body of government on Losaria and their territories. The Losarian head of state is Queen Enora Glynndor who ascended to the throne six months before the Columbia made first contact. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/?nomobile=true#!topic/sb118-columbia/RNqxxolbB0I| An Appointment With Alien Guests] Queen Enora Glynndor, as written by Lieutenant Commander [[Anath G'Renn]], 239306.09</ref>
+The Imperial Losarian Commonwealth is governed by a constitutional monarchy. As of 2396, the current Losarian head of state is Her Majesty Queen Enora Glynndor. The 'Royal Court' holds much sway over Losarian life and admittance to it is considered a great privilege. Queen Enora also acts as a sort of Commander-In-Chief over the Losarian Royal Navy and is able to directly order military officers on missions. Socio-anthropological research conducted by crew members from the [[USS Columbia]] suggest that the Royal Court also acts as a form of parliament with democratic elections. Queen Enora and the Royal Court allow freedom of speech and freedom of the press in addition to other traditional democratic norms. Diplomatic efforts are often conducted personally by heads of states, although it is believed that Losarians do operate embassies, given that Queen Enora had expressed a wish to normalise diplomatic relations with the United Federation of Planets.
 ===Technology===
-The Losarians had access to warp-capable ships with weapons, subspace communications, sensors, transporter and shields systems. They also had a "tachyon field emitter", which could disable or fool ship's sensor systems.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/sb118-columbia/rPuPzXX5N2A|"Turned Tides"], Lieutenant JG Pholin Duyzer, {{USS|Columbia}}, 239601.06</ref> They themselves could break through such a field, however their sensors could be disabled with an "ionized nadion pulse".<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/sb118-columbia/iiJARJQrHR4/5s5ZmHm2EwAJ|"Where There's Smoke..."], Ensign Jona ch'Ranni, {{USS|Columbia}}, 239601.04</ref>
+A warp capable species, Losarians have access to advanced subspace communications, sensors, transporters and offensive and defensive technologies- although they are estimated to be several decades behind the United Federation of Planets in many of these areas. Some Losarian military vessels are equipped with tachyon field emitters which can disable or deceive another vessel's sensor systems <ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/sb118-columbia/rPuPzXX5N2A|"Turned Tides"], Lieutenant JG Pholin Duyzer, {{USS|Columbia}}, 239601.06</ref>. In addition, Losarian vessels can counteract the effects such fields on their own vessels, although their sensor suits could be disabled with a focused ionised nation pulse. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/sb118-columbia/iiJARJQrHR4/5s5ZmHm2EwAJ|"Where There's Smoke..."], Ensign Jona ch'Ranni, {{USS|Columbia}}, 239601.04</ref>. According to information gleamed during a Losarian-Starfleet officer exchange program, Losarian vessels were vulnerable to the effects of subspace vacuoles and vortices as their vessels are actively forbidden from entering the unstable [[Mantras Corridor]].
 ===Military===
-The military arm of the Losarian Commonwealth is known as the 'Royal Navy'. Their uniforms are described as being 'royal red' in colour. Women are permitted to serve as cruiser captains as evidenced by Commander Marayn, with the possibility of higher-ranking positions. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-columbia/Z_6tgKhSWOg|"Hunting Far and Wide"], Elinn Marayn, ''Illrith'', 239602.20</ref>. The ''Nahalon''-class cruiser ''Illrith'' is the flagship of the Royal Navy as of 2396. Exploration does not seem to be a priority for the Royal Navy as very few ships have ventured beyond the territorial borders of the Commonwealth. Ellin Marayn, the ''Illrith's'' commanding officer inferred that Losarian military officers do not put their lives on the line without concrete evidence- which contrasts with the Federation Starfleet.
+Presumably part of a much larger armed forces contingent, the primary interstellar defence and exploratory branch of the Commonwealth is known as the 'Royal Losarian Navy'. Conversations with Commander Ellin Marayn suggest that the primary duty of the Navy is purely defensive with almost no focus on exploration. Vessels of Royal Navy rarely travel outside of the territorial boundaries of the Commonwealth, although there have been some exceptions- such as officers pursuing Tairus Kaironn. In addition, Losarian military officers are trained to be cautious as evidenced by Commander Marayn's extreme reluctance to order the ''Illrith'' into the [[Mantras Corridor]]. Despite this, the Royal Navy are known to be open to first contacts with other species and are instructed to be as welcoming as they can. As of 2396, the flagship of the Royal Navy'' is the ''Nahalon''-class cruiser Illrith, which is several times larger than the [[USS Columbia]]. The Commander-In-Chief of the Royal Navy is Her Majesty Queen Enora Glynndor, although day-to-day operations are overseen by High Admiral Lo Elymora, who is also a member of the Royal Court. Discrimination on the grounds of gender and sexuality are forbidden under Losarian law in regards to military service <ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-columbia/Z_6tgKhSWOg|"Hunting Far and Wide"], Elinn Marayn, ''Illrith'', 239602.20</ref>. Day-to-day duty uniforms are a deep regal red.
