So Far…

Earth began settling the planets of the Colonial Star Cluster in 2104 using untested ships to make the thirty day interstellar journey to the nearest habitable world. Soon, people by the thousands from all over Earth were pouring out to the fifteen planets circling these distant stars. The old ways were set aside in favor of making a go at it in these new places.

But Earth always loomed, far enough away not to directly control the colonial worlds but close enough to interfere.

In 2169 these planets had had enough and declared their independence from the human home world, igniting the war that would last for a hundred and fifty years which would occasionally spill over onto the worlds themselves. Meanwhile, the planets had to deal with the tenuous alliance they’d created between each other, the Unified Republic of Stars.

It’s an epic and massive story, comprising years of chaos, infighting, and outright war in which heros can often be mistaken for villans and the villans carry out their acts by popular consent. Humanity has never been so powerful and yet also never given to such conflict.

It was the single largest military action the Republic had ever been engaged in....

Independent Congress

The Independent Congress was a gathering of delegates from each of the worlds of the former Colonial Star Cluster to decide how to react to Earth's involvement. There were two Independent Congress', both called by Galileo Planetary Governor Ivan Boldyrev. The first is primarily known for the declaration of independence in which the worlds of the star cluster opted to sever their connection with Earth. The second was formed to address the issues raised by the First Republican Defensive and was the source of the Constitution Of The Republic, the document which, after it was ratified, began the Unified Republic of Stars....
