History
The Kingdom of Malinois was founded, long ago on Toydaria in the south-western region. The families of Bonaventure, Eleutherae, Nox, and Nell combined their respective "clans" to form one kingdom. At first there was much tension between the four families. However, that changed quickly with the start of the War of the Noses. Four other neighboring clans made a pact, in fear of this new kingdom. This developed into a vicious war which lead to many casualties on both sides. Eventually, a leader rose from the chaos: King Jarod II of the Bonaventure family. After the death of his father, Jarod I, Jarod II was set on revenge. Gathering his forces Jarod II decisively brought an end to the war. Typically, after a war there is a depression on Toydarian because all of the males are home with no work to do. Although in this case, Jarod II enlisted them as engineer's and began the biggest construction project in the Kingdom's history -- doubling the Gross National Product of the Kingdom. This stabilized Malinois, and gave it international recognition as an official Kingdom of the planet.
The Kingdom of Malinois was rivaled by the Kingdom of Milla; they were 3rd and 2nd respectively in terms of military dominance on the planet as well as 2nd and 3rd respectively in terms of economic dominance. Malinois controlled the south-western part of the planet while Milla controlled the western part. The border between Malinois and Milla was always a point of tension between the two Kingdoms as the Malinois believed that the Milla stole a substantial amount of property from them giving the Milla the highest planetary control, the Milla, on the other hand, believed that the Malinois were conspiring to seize control over the land. This lead to militarized border, in case the other tribe initiated war.
Another rivalry was created over the economical power that was possessed by Malinois. As the most dominant military force on the planet as well as the most dominant economic force on the planet, the Kingdom of Katuun had the most control of the planet. Many people considered them the real government of the planet. As Malinois grew they began to come out as a competitor in the race for economic supremacy. Since Katuun was situated in the north-eastern part of the planet, their military power was useless in suppressing the growth of Malinois. However, a pact was made between the Malinoisians and the Millians that if the Katuuni ever were to attack, they would look out for the west. It remains to see whether this pact would have been followed by both parties.
The inner politics of Malinois has traditionally been called B.E.N.N. politics in commemoration of the royal families that govern each province. The capitol city also named Malinois was considered the second most economically driven city on the planet, second to the Katuuni city of Katuunko. The Bonaventure Family controlled this as well as the surrounding area and it was named the Greater Malinois Area, "GMA". The Eleutherae Family controlled the most dangerous area, the northern border region. They were the ones who constantly dealt with the ongoing trouble with the Millians. The Nox Family handled the eastern border regions and dealt with the small Kynnovan nation. To some the Nox Family controlled Kynnovan affairs more than the Kynnovan government did. The Nell family constantly ravaged by internal wars were spread out among the other cities but are still considered as a Malinois royal family.
During the Clone Wars the Kingdom of Malinois favored neutrality, albeit house Nox who wished to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, King Katuunko, named after his kingdom, sided with the Galactic Republic and entered into an agreement to allow them to build a base on his territory (Following the Battle of Rugosa). Since the Kingdom of Katuunko was the most dominant kingdom on the planet at the time his move spoke for the entirety of the planet. With the Galactic Republic's victory in the Clone Wars the Kingdom of Katuunko's power and influence spread even more widely over the planet, bad news for the Kingdom of Malinois.
The Kingdom of Malinois entered into a general decline in planetary power and into an economical depression. However, Mason Bonaventure sought to change this. He reformed what was left of the political structure and bulked up the military. This unfortunately did not go with out notice. The Hutt Cartel, a trade rival of the Kingdom of Malinois, ordered a hit on King Mason and the CEO's around him. Successfully carried out, Mason's oldest son, Julian Bonaventure was awarded the throne. Ill equip for such a task King Julian was easily manipulated, and became a puppet for the Eidola pirates in order to fight-off the Hutt Cartel.
Embarrassed Queen Latva Bonaventure, mother of King Julian, called back Prince Mour Bonaventure to the planet. Mour arrived on the planet in secret to begin the plans for rebellion. Gathering allies quickly, due to the financial support provided while in the Commerce Guild, Mour gathered a strike force. In a swift and successful clash Mour and his team executed his brother and the Eidola representative in the royal city. Fearing Eidola retaliation, Mour gathered his family, allies, friends, and loyal subjects into a small fleet, and set course for Glythe.
The Bonaventure Royal family, with Viceroyal permission, is now set with foundations on Marthril. These new cities have generated far more wealth than any project undertaken, since King Jarod II's massive city expansion projects following the War of the Noses. The most important of Mour's projects was the construction of New Malinois, the new capital and location of the Bonaventure Royal Palace. Shortly after, a coronation ceremony incurred. Queen Latva crowned Mour: King Mour Bonaventure, the first "Confederate King" of Malinois. Mour's first act as king was to name Kran Chan his Count.
