Star Ring Federation¶
One of the four major powers of wizard civilization, alongside the Crimson Court and the Void Architecture Academy.12 It holds a quarter of the wizard civilization51 and keeps over ten million eighth-level wizards on its books.46 Jie Ming counts himself a member,5 holds supply treaties with its military department5158 and receives its Level-One Cultivation Protocol.63 In the current war it fields a temporary joint legion with the Crimson Court.65
Overview¶
A federation of member factions with high autonomy, among them Noren Workshop, the Tower of Annihilation and the Chaos Secret Cult.25 Its economy runs on military merit: low-level merits are redeemable across the federation,4 the merit system lets any capable wizard earn resources, which keeps black wizards rare inside it,53 and its official points are accepted even in public junction points outside the great powers' rule.57 A unified magic network, run by the artificial intelligence Felix, sells intellectual property for merit at a ten percent commission with instant runic review.731
Control rests on an eternal contract branded in every wizard's soul, which lets the Federation monitor life status remotely.16 A vast official teleportation network covers the heartland while the frontier relies on public junction points.54 Its wizard powers routinely modify small planes into mobile ship-plane fortresses,20 and its war machine is the Quantum Entanglement Flagship, a ring over ten million kilometers across.36

- Elite combat units: Formed by supreme resolution,14 given terminals with higher authority and dedicated arrays,15 dispatched only when a battlefield commander requests reinforcements.21
- Military department: Military reform,45 standard procedures for plane fusion,48 a military supply department that signs long-term agreements and certifies protective wizardry.5155
- Trading platforms: Military supplies and knowledge priced in military merits,47 plane-pioneering recruitment missions,42 governance artificial humans.44
- Civilization admissions department,24 Technology Exchange Center and Technology Department,52 Strategic Technology Promotion Regulations.50

- Service rules: Seventh-level wizards take a ten-thousand-year rest after long frontline assignments, halved for academy builders; every academy keeps a high-level combat unit as garrison.49 A sixth-level wizard needs federal approval before invading a discovered civilization.43
