Union of Intergalactic States

"Let us not grow complacent with our achievements, and instead look to build ourselves a better life. Together, we can make the future we yearn for a reality. Together, we are Starmade; in union."
~Aesthetics addresses the Union of Intergalactic States during the Union Birthday Address, September 26th, 2317.The Union of Intergalactic States (abbreviated as UIS or simply The Union) is an economic, social and military alliance consisting of Trident Foundries, Trinova Technologies remnants, RedEagle and the Aethi Imperium.
== Description ==
The Union of Intergalactic States is a democratic union of like-minded factions who serve and promote the common cause of peace and prosperity.
The Union is dedicated to promoting peace with other factions. However it has a very strong military made up of the best ships and pilots from the four member factions.
Some Union capital ships, like Trident Foundries' Crusader-class or RedEagle's iMSAD, carry Union flags alongside their faction insignia to show solidarity.
== History ==
=== 2316 ===
On September 26th, 2316, Aesthetics, FlyingDebris, Jake Lancia and Ithirahad met to discuss the creation of the Union on behalf of their nations, respectively. Aesthetics, FlyingDebris and Jake Lancia signed the charter of the new Union instantaneously, whereas Ithirahad took three days to sign. During the course of those three days, Jontyfreack of RedEagle also signed the Union charter, thus bringing the total member states to five, already topping that of the Odium Pact. Several days later, the Formiden Colonial Mandate requested to join the Union, and was voted in by the newly formed Union Council, with a vote of 10-0.
=== 2317 ===
With the merger of Aesthetica with Trident Foundries in early January 2317, the number of member states dropped back to five.
In early March, Formiden left the Union on good terms.
In mid-March, Union forces led by Jake Lancia and the revitalized Trident Foundries began an invasion into the FCM-controlled LCB Galaxies. After an inconclusive, and seemingly uneventful conflict, the Union of Intergalactic States retired itself to a minimal presence, hampered by intergalactic phenomena that exists and continues to be studied.
In August and September, Union forces led by FlyingDebris began to invade the war-torn LvD Galaxies again. Jake and the Trident Foundries, along with Ithirahad and the Aethi Imperium, followed Trinova to the galaxies as well. All of the UIS factions aligned themselves with the Lightside. The Union continues to construct starships and wage war in the LvD Galaxies in an attempt to bring the evil Darkside forces into line.
