Confederate Overview


Its great to live here, if your Centurian, or have the gumption to stand up to them...


The Confederacy

Formed nearly 1000 years ago as a governing body between the Joukaai Cluster and several major colonial systems. The confederacy is highly decentralized, with each system largely governing itself. 100 Years ago, humans were encountered and a long war ensued. The war recently ended 15 years ago and since then humans have integrated themselves as the only other major race besides the Centurians. The Confederacy is ruled by a Council comprising of representatives from the major systems. The Human government which fought against the Centurians is represented on the council as well.

Capital: Centuria
Currency: Centuar Credits
Most Populous planet: Centuria (9 Billion)
Population: 50 Billion

The Interstellar Council

The executive ruling body of the Confederacy, the council governs over all matters that directly affect each major system such as military and foreign affairs and economics. The judgment of the council is final in any matter and to disobey it results in a quick war by the other systems. The Harthan Alliance and the Trogda Hierarchy are the only non-Centurian bodie represented in the council. The council will usually intervene in disagreements between two systems, but otherwise systems are left to their own devices for governing and inter-confederacy trade. The Joukaai cluster representative is the permanent chairman of the council and has two votes

Council:

Nihlus Ithra, Joukaai Cluster [Chairman]
Palen Bathra, New Centuria System
John Edmund, Harthan Alliance
Germanus Palra, Cathode System
Scipio Ganra, Therode System
Undra Drex, Trogda Hierarchy


Major Species
(Click name for picture)

Centurian: (http://www.completemasseffect.com/images/thumb/9/97/Turians_001.jpg/125px-Turians_001.jpg)

The dominant race of the confederacy, an avian featured hominoid. Centurians lead society in most areas, especially military. They are famed for their Centurian honor and military prowess. Since Centuria is a high gravity planet that would make normal movement for a human next to impossible, Centurians are usually very fast and strong on standard gravity planets. Centurians are militant, however they are not belligerent. Diplomatic means will usually be used before the military is employed. Average height is 6'0 and skin and eye color could be any number of colors. Most clans however have a distinctive look to them.

Centurians began their galactic expansion 2,000 years ago and have continued since. Centurians fought a major unification war at the onset of their expansion, followed by a colonial war 1,000 years ago that led to the establishment of the Confederacy and the council.

Population: 25 Billion (50%)
Home World: Centuria
Language: Inra (official, dialects are spoken on many colonies and parts of Centuria)

Human:

Recently encountered by the Centurians, the Humans perceived a Centurian colony expedition as an invasion force and fired on it due to lack of communication between the two sides. Most humans in the Confederacy are between 5'8 - 6'5 in height due to excessive hormones given to them in order to make them more formidable opponents to the Centurians.

Humans are ambitious and constantly work to get a better footing inside the Confederacy. They formed the Harthan Alliance when they set out to fight the Centurians and since have acted in a unified interstellar force. They have been traversing space for 600 years.

Population: 15 Billion (30%)
Home World: Atheria
Language: English (Official, dialects spoken throughout the alliance.)

Trogda: (http://www.consolemonster.com/media/0000000138/screenshots/0000000138-L-2b7cb86.jpg) (The one on the left)

Large brutish creatures with a low birthrate but long life span, the Trogda are a formidable species. Not the most intelligent, but by no means stupid, the Trogda are a very aggressive species that attempted to defeat the Confederacy in a crusade 500 years ago. Subjected from then on to harsh restrictions and virtual enslavement, the actions of the Trogda during the war against the Humans earned them the respect of the Council, who allowed a Trogda to sit on the council. A Trogda is a formidable opponent who can take a great deal of damage before going down, then with a naturally maintained regenerative system, a Trogda takes quite a beating before going down.

The Trogda formed a hierarchy of warlords that ruled over their planet. They built rudimentary spaceships and set out on a mission of Galactic crusade. The Trogda worked with the Centurians for the first few years they encountered each other. Once the Centurians had disclosed their secret of interstellar travel, the Trogda declared war and began preying on outlying Centurian colonies. The war that followed was a bloody one but the Centurians prevailed and crushed the Trogda population and then put limits as to how many children a Trogda could have in their lifetime. The slow breeding species has not recovered from the war but their service in the war against humans enabled them to be accepted into the confederacy.

Population: 5 Billion (10%)
Home world: Trogash
Language: Trogda

Economy

The Confederate economy is largely based on an intricate web of trade between the Colonies and the main systems. Most Centurians work towards the betterment of the state and thus often lack in economic zeal. The trade is usually raw materials used for military undertakings and maintenence or national projects. Many Centurians will work as mercenaries for small species or minor systems who lack the prowess of the Centurian military.

The Confederacy is rich in raw materials but usually does not trade this to outside parties unless in dire need. Most of the economy is state driven unless inside Human or other territories.

Interstellar Confederate Armed Forces


To serve and protect. Thats our mission...


Summary:

The ICAF operates as the police and the military for all pan-confederate operations. They patrol Confederate space, protect explorers and colonists. They fight on behalf of the entire confederacy and are loyal only to the Council. The ICAF is far superior to any Confederate System's military forces and thus could crush resistance to confederate terms.

As a note, ICAF is usually referred to as the (eye-Caf) in pronunciation.

Confederate High Command:

The department comprising of the highest ranking officers from the various divisions inside the ICAF. The commander of the Confederate Navy is usually the High Commander of all the military. The CHC oversees the deployment and strategic operations of the entire military.

High Command:
High Marshal of the Confederacy: Africanus Ithra, Grand Admiral of Confederate Fleets
Marshal of the Confederate Marines: Octavus Bathra
Inspector of the Armies: Trajan Yuora

Confederate Navy

The successor to the Centurian's Invasion fleets, the Confederate navy has become quite powerful and is armed with the most advanced weaponry available in their space. The navy is a grand meritocracy where regardless of species or clan, one can rise in ranks and achieve.

History of the Confederacy

Current Date: 1004 CE (Confederate Era)

Pre-Confederacy

First Colonies:
1024 - 743 PCE (Pre-Confederate Era)

Approximately 2000 years ago, Centurian explorers landed on Gerrus, the first planet ever colonized by the Centurians inside the Joukaai cluster system. The planet had unfavorable conditions, but with atmospheric technology, the planet was terra formed into one more suitable for the Centurian biology. The colony relieved the population problem on Centuria. The colony also provied a great deal of raw materials vital to the ruling regime (Centurian Empire). Bolstered by this first success, further colonization attempts were made on the other planets and moons in the system until all possible areas had been colonized in some way. The emperor declared a Solar Empire and named it after the Sun in their system (who also was believed to be the incarnate of a god), Joukaai.

The Empire crumbled however as the sudden influx of wealth and arms gave rise to debates over which clans would control the new resources. The debates developed into open conflict and soon the Empire was destroyed. With the solar system divided, the intricate trade system was destroyed and each warlord was left with only part of the supplies necessary to build a proper fleet. The only Imperial Navy was divided between the Warlords who now looked outside Joukaai space to find the resources they needed. Researchers perfected the systems of Mass relays that could propel matter at hyper lightspeed, and thus enable them to travel into new solar systems quickly and not waste valuable fuel.

The first clan that successfully sent a fleet into a new solar system was the Batra Clan. They discovered that the Solar system was inhabited by less advanced insectoid beings who analyzed the fleet to be a threat and sent out their swarms to intercept. The swarms repulsed the fleet and sent them back to Joukaai space.

Discovery of this event spread throughout the solar system, especially the fact that a significant force from the Bathra clan was decimated. And the Bathra leaders were not happy by the turn of events that followed.

Unification Wars:
743 - 601 PCE

The moment the Bathra deployed their expansion fleet into unknown space, the Ithra began a campaign of unification. Legendary commander Fleet Admiral Germanus Pompus Ithra IV set out at the helm of his clan's large military. First to fall to his might were Youra clan who were allied with the Bathra
