==Overview==
The Union of Federated Systems Alliance, or UFSA, was founded by Dr. Jacob Edsel during the latter stages of the UFSA rebellion in 2419 CE. Edsel, a prominent outer colonial political theorist, had long stressed state-directed socialist autocracy thought amongst outer colonial dissident movements. During the later period of the exhausting Human-Frielaedian War, Edsel's Outer Colonial People's Party (OCPP) along with the People's Volunteer Armed Movement (PVAM) paramilitary group took advantage of minimal federal military assets in the far sector outer colonies to launch a massive independence war against the NEFS. Edsel's rebellion was soon supported by defecting Colonial Jurisdiction Authority and NEFSDF military units, primarily led by former marine Major General Christophe Young. 
Independence was granted to the unrecognized UFSA following the fall of the sector capital, Petrovia, to PVAM and UFSA People's Army forces in 2421 CE. Following the end of the war, Edsel, as Chief Minister and Party Chair, General Young, as Commander-in-Chief of the UFSA People's Armed Forces and Security Minister, and Comrade Charles Jason "CJ" Kovich, head of the PVAM and Interior Minister, formed the first executive triumvirate, whioch wielded supreme power from 2421 to 2433 CE. In 2433, Edsel died under questionable circumstances, and General Young was quick to seize unopposed executive power, capturing and executing CJ Kovich and using regular army, marine, and navy units to destroy the PVAM, claiming that Kovich and the PVAM murdered Edsel to seize power. 
From 2433 to 2439 CE, the UFSA was a straightforward military dictatorship, with General-Marshal Young wielding all power. During this period, the UFSA moved heavily into stalinist-style authoritarianism, with purges and forced disappearances being common. Military spending consumed the majority of the government budget, as General-Marshal Young sought to dissuade the much-larger NEFS from reinvading to depose the UFSA. During this period, the UFSA Ministry of Advanced Applications began to consuct research on the "Elysium Culture," a nonterrestrial biological sample recovered from the Elysium-Naismith Operation. 
The Young Junta period ended in 2439 CE, with the fall of Petrovia to Scourge Forces during the first phase of the Scourge Wars. General-Marshal Young was killed by scourge drones while attempting to flee the capital, and in his place the Federate Convention for State Security, a dual military/OCPP emergency council took over government.
The Federate Convention ruled from 2439 to 2445 CE, and oversaw the alliance of necessity with both the NEFS and the Frielaedian Federal Republic which led to the ultimatesterilization of Scourge infection across the UFSA. The war had, however, led to the deaths of nearly 1/3 of the pre-war UFSA population and the loss of nearly half of all military forces and equipment. Widespread unrest over terrible conditions throughout the UFSA led to the fall of the Federate Convention in 2445, when the Red-Black Worker's Union, a student-worker spinoff movement from the OCPP led the Red-Black revolution and overthrew the oligarchy. 
For the next 14 years, from 2445 to 2459 CE, the Red-Black regime under Comrade Edward Kornilov and Comrade Karen Greenwich ruled the UFSA under a worker's council system, dubbed the Greenwich popular movement. Massive five year plan-type programs rebuilt UFSA planetary infrastructure and began to hastily rebuild the military. Communist, socialist, and other dissident armed movements were funded in both the Empire of the Diamond Way as well as the National Federation. The regime angered many traditionalist and military figures , however, with its ultra-revolutionary, anti-bureaucracy positions. During the later half of this period, the Red-Black Worker's Union, along with the Youth Guards of the Revolution, a populist Red-Black youth paramilitary, launched the Civil-Cultural Campaign for Purification, a massive purge of the bureacracy and "counter-revolutionary cliques". The unchecked riots of the Youth Guards of the Revolution, along with ultra-radical Red-Black policies, helped lead to the coup of 2459.
The coup of 2459 was carried out by the First Distrist Miltary Council, the command council for People's Armed Forces units in the capital sector, with the support of the apparatchiks of the OCPP. The coup led to the establishment of the International Party Assembly as the new executive and legislative body for the UFSA, and signalled the return of the traditionalist Edselist Old Guard to power. Following the coup, the UFSA began to reorient itself towards bureacracy and the military, and reinstated many career officers who had stripped of their ranks during the Red-Black period. In 2467, the UFSA entered into a military cooperation agreement with the Social Empire, and later with the Communal Realms, which finally aligned the state against the National Federation and the Federative Republic of the Diamond Way, the successor of the Empire of the Diamond Way.
As the prospect of a war between LOTO and the Communal Realms seemed ever more likely, in early 2469 Admiral Ryan Pettit was elecetd as Chief Minister of the UFSA, the first to hold the title since Jacob Edsel himself in 2433. This gave the the UFSA goverment a distinct militaristic character in its final years,and corresponded to massive military build-ups by the People's Armed Forces in preparation for war, which broke out a little over a year later, in mid-late 2470.
