==History==
===Founding===
The aftermath of the created a significant shake-up in the interstellar politics of Human space, with the Unified Earth Government largely withdrawing from the Outer Colonies, leaving them to their own fate. Most Insurrectionist, and especially socialist, states viewed this as a fortunate turn of events, but also recognised the clear danger posed by the new lack of an interstellar hegemon in Human space. In order to deter any threats, both human and alien, a group of socialist governments that already had close relations opted to form a mutual defence pact, these governments being the Theban Commonwealth, the Olduvai Republic, the Commune of Kropotkin, and the Kadangan Free State.
