History and Background:

Gaia was colonised early on in the great exodus from Earth by a conglomerate of corporations from the East Asian tiger economies and a few Russian IIGs, known as the Ato-Saran Conglomerate, they had a plan to use the Sivo system a base to launch a sector spanning commercial empire.
The system was quickly developed using the massive funds the corporation's boards had alocated for the venture. Gaia itself was filled with glittering cities of geometric glass and steel connected by fast transport links. Used as housing, for the massive workforce that had immigrated from the parent countries that the corporations came from. Surrounding these cities are vast tracts of farmland and extensive research and development complexes.
On the lifeless outer worlds huge industrial complexes were constructed, producing every type of manufactured object imaginable. Workers seeking the plentiful jobs in the Sivo system.
When the conditions on earth worsened the corporations moved competely to the Sivo system and created it as a seperate state among the stars under the banner of the Ato-Saran Federation, a military force was created to patrol and secure the system.

When Earth finally collapsed in the late '40s and the colonies were thrown into disarray, large social disturbances ran through the population on Gaia. The corporations, cut off from a large part of their customer base, began large make work projects and military contracts to keep control of the population. However these quick fix measures could not go on for long and the social disturbances continued.
Certain factions in the military began to gain power and soon made their move.
Seizing power in a coup' de etat they installed a democratic socialist government into power. With new leadership the entire planet was re-invigorated and using the massive manufacturing and research capabilities Ato-Sara quickly launched itself back into space and reached tech level 9 around about the same time Galveston Bay and the Solmani Alliance did.
However this wave on enthusiasm could not last and the succesive governments found it increasingly harder to juggle the increasing demands placed upon them, progress gradually ground to a halt.
Until 2500 the Ato-Saran Federation was for all intents and purposes stagnant, it had a huge military (An after effect of the military's large role in creating the current government.) and massive manufacturing capabilities but was going nowhere.
However at the turn of the century there is renewed hope that they can move forward.

Ato-Saran Socialist Federation Military

Federated Navy:

The main components of the Federated Navy are divided among four fleet commands.
The first two Fleet Commands consist of two Fleet Battle Star Groups, One Assault Battle Star Group, four Light Battle Star Groups and a group of courier ships.
The 3rd fleet is made up of system defence ships organised into a System Defence Group.
The Utility and transport ships of the Navy are under the control, of the 4th fleet.

Locations- All fleets are stationed in the Sivo system.

Federal Defence Corps:

The Federal Defence Corps or FDC are assigned to protect planets under the control of the Socialist Federation, they are equipped with a plethora of equipment ranging from Space superiority fighters, to armoured vehicles and the gigantic ground based anti-starship batteries.
Currently the FDC operate twelve defence corps all of them based on Gaia.

Each Defence Corps consists of;
1x Planetary Defence Unit
11x Defence Divsions

A subdivsion of the FDC is the FADC (Federal Aerospace Defence Corps) which operates Orbital fighters from planetary bases.
Currently The FADC has forty wings of OF-21 Talon Orbital fighters operating from four of the gigantic naval bases on Gaia.

Each Aerospace Defence Corps consists of;
10x Orbital fighter wings


Jade Guard

The Jade Guard from the backbone of the Socialist Federation's ground forces. They provide elite shock troops and armoured fists to obliterate resistance on hostile planets.
The Jade Guard Marines Corps are the troops that hit the ground first, clearing away initial enemy forces to create viable landing zones, they also serve abourd ships as security and assault contingents.
The main marine fighting forces in oraginsed into eight Assault Divsions each, comprised of three Marine regiments.

The rest of the Jade Guard use armoured grav vehicles to smash the enemy to pieces with lightning raids and huge armoured fists.
They are organised into Mechanised and Armoured Corps. There are currently three Mechanised Corps and two Armoured Corps.

-2300, January 26th
'Current president of the Socialist Federation Sophia Jiu Lai announces a massive territorial expansion!'
Captain Alexi Urumov chuckled as he read the latest head line. They had been flooding in all day after the announcement from the steps of the congress building in Xishen earlier this morning.
Closing the workstation he got out of his chair and walked over to the window.
This day had been long in the making, much planning had gone into it and felt like a new dawn for the Socialist Federation.
Some shortsighted fools had said the people would not like it, bah. The people had had nothing to aspire to for hundreds of years, this new century had given them increased vigour, hope and now an objective.
The years of moping about in their tiny corner of the galaxy were over, things where so much simpler when you had a purpose.
Many had questioned wny this moment had not come before, there were many theories, but Alexi knew the truth. There had simply been no political will power to do it, for decades politicians had been afraid of what was out there among the stars insisting that Ato-Sara was not ready.
However the the old guard had now been discreetly swept under the carpet and this new president had set them on the right track.
She was a gutsy one alright, but she had absolute faith in the brave men and women of the Federated Navy they would be the vanguard of the Socialist Federation in this new era.
Turning, the captain surveyed his office strewn on his desk where piles of paper and charts. One in particular, showing large arrows moving towards a galactic north, caught his eye. Moving to the desk he picked it up allowing a cascade of notes to fall off it like fresh snow.
This chart detailed the entire plan, myriad of unit names and dates were marked all over it.
The background hum changed pitch.
Captain Urumov glanced back out of the window, he could see the lights of the Kao Si Orbital Starport and even from a kilometre away could make out thousands of people lining the observation decks waving flags and proabaly cheering too.
Slowly the Starport began to slide out of view as the frequency of the hum from ships engines peaked.
The intercom squaked to life.
"Captain Urumov to the bridge, Captain Urumov to the bridge. Admiral Long is aboard and we are moving to Jump stations."
Walking to the door the captain turned the lights out and stepped over the bulkhead, closing the hatch behind him.
Meanwhile a huge shape glided past the window of his empty office, a Diao class Battlestar proudly bearing the Trihexagram, it was followed by dozens of escort craft.
Three hundred kilometres ahead the slid to a halt and after a few moments of hanging in space, disappeared in a flash of light.



Federated Naval units have begun moving out of their bases in the Sivo System and are re-deploying to system claimed by the Socialist Federation.

OOC: Ato, if you start at tech 11, I don’t think you get a bonus if one of the 4main industries becomes your primary industry. You gave yourself a 10 year bonus when you shouldn't have. Also, I looked at your nation on the NS page and it doesn’t show one of the 4 as your main industry.

OOC: Eh... oops, missed it when I was converting all my old stuff to v2.0.
The ten year bonus shouldn't be there.
As for being tech 11, GB say that if your secondary and tertiary industries are both one of the 4, then even if your primary isn't you are tech 11.
You will notice that my secondary and tertairy industries are Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.
