  • Oligarchy
rdfs:comment
  • Oligarchy is a term deriving from the Greek words 'ὀλίγος', meaning "few", and 'ἄρχω', meaning "rule". Broadly speaking, it refers to a situation in which political power resides in a particular minority group, as opposed to a single individual or a broader base. This label applies irrespective of the type of group wielding political power, for which there are more specific terms; "oligarchy" thus covers a rather wide range of possible political arrangements.
  • An oligarchy was a system of government in which a typically small group of elite had control over the populace. The planet Nazzri, home to the Nazzar species, was ruled by a theocratic oligarchy in the time leading up to the Great Sith War.
  • An oligarchy was rule by a few. Many of the Italian city-states before unification in the nineteenth century were oligarchies.
  • An oligarchy is a form of government in which power is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals. The planet Angel I was ruled as a constitutional oligarchy by its seven-member Parliament. (TNG: "Angel One" ) Atifs IV was ruled by an oligarchy. (TNG: "Manhunt" )
  • Oligarchy describes a state or organization that is ruled by a small number. Growing economic, social and political inequality in the United States have led some to believe that a nation once charcaterized as offerign everyone equality is descending into oligarchy. If so then then the individual liberty that American cherish will increasingly be sacrificed to protect the privilege and property of the ruling class.
  • The Oligarchy is the collective term for the Oligarchs, a race of humans that have no corporeal bodies but are able to access almost any part of the Matrix. They have the ability to overwrite code, and can therefore defy laws of the Matrix which are otherwise rather concrete, even for advanced operatives such as Neo.

abstract
  • The Oligarchy is the collective term for the Oligarchs, a race of humans that have no corporeal bodies but are able to access almost any part of the Matrix. They have the ability to overwrite code, and can therefore defy laws of the Matrix which are otherwise rather concrete, even for advanced operatives such as Neo. Oligarchs appear as glowing figures in the Matrix, and can appear with wireframe bodies, in the case of Halborn and Carlyne, or with more solid, uniformly colored appearances ala Helian and Tesarova. Due to their interface with the Matrix, the Oligarchs were impossible to attack using standard combat means such as martial arts or firearms, and were vulnerable only to hacking attacks. All Oligarchs appeared to be human beings who had made a treaty with the Machines prior to the first Machine War in which they were able to program the machines not to attack them in exchange for Machine reign over the majority of Earth. The Oligarchy remained in an area commonly known as the No-Fly Zone on the Earth's surface, into which no Machines were permitted to enter. In addition, they had access to heavily fortified, EMP-proof hovercraft of unibody construction that could traverse the tunnels below the surface at rapid speeds. Over time, the Oligarchs' physical human bodies began to deteriorate, and those who wished to live on passed their consciousness into robotic vessels. The Oligarchs, as competing individuals, rather than as a collective, sought out the Biological Interface Program in order to transplant their consciousness into sleeping bluepills in a process similar to that of an overwrite so that they could regain a human form.
