"Pelorian" would still make up a major part in their fighting capability, I'd think. However I'll have to eat my words here and below as I just remembered that the Count of Perfe did hire Arrolian Pike for use against the Kingdom of War (and even though he lost, it wasn't their fault). I guess I temporarily confused them with the white moonie peaceniks.

I think it's slightly more than that as they are not part of the Lunar Empire and one city has actively thrown off Lunar rule.

Yup. They have a guild government in the towns although a canton system might exist in the country. They are not as all equal as Loskalm tho.

I don't think they are Dara Happans considering they have rejected the concept of Empire, which would be blasphemy for Dara Happans.
