Dedicated to the delivery of goods, they are both loved and feared by the denizens of the Brikverse. Loved, because who doesn't love a parcel in the mail? And feared, because the restrictions on post-able items are next to nothing - and so the parcel in the mail is often a stick of dynamite. And the mail is always delivered, and it is always on time. Nothing stops the mail.
The Royal Quadrarian Post was established in R. 2014 to address the lack of satisfactory delivery services in the galaxy. Originally the Royal Post, the immediate market for no-nonsense delivery in the Brikverse rapidly expanded the organisation from a family affair into a full-blown courier superpower. To aid the administration of such an establishment, the service’s home system of Balwryn I was swiftly annexed. Due to a distinct lack of local royalty, the Royal Post created the Quadrarian Empire, named after the quadratic algorithms used to manage the large amounts of cargo. The Royal Post immediately ceded to the newly installed Emperor (who happened to be the original Director of the Royal Post), rebranded the entire organisation as the Royal Quadrarian Post, and bequeathed the entire Balwryn I system as tithe.
While appearing to use steampunk technology, the Royal Quadrarian Post and affiliated empires are surprisingly advanced, ranking at Tek Level 5 – a full 2 levels above that expected. This is largely due to the innovation of the Quadrarian Improbability Drive. These variants of the Adams model were first developed in conjunction with the Mk I Mobile Office Initiative vehicles, as the difficulties in powering such large constructs with steam were easily apparent. This fundamental design flaw was circumvented by creating an improbability drive which could be powered by steam, thus powering the vehicle through the improbability of functioning. The power of the improbability drive also increases as the vehicle is damaged, thus keeping it functional long after the failure of conventional constructs.
The Royal Quadrarian is technically a Superpower due to its possession of a Fudge-class giant mech and Mobile Regional Distribution Office SDT Mk III.
