Union of Progressive Peoples

Previously known as the Baja Rebel Front.
The Union of Progressive Peoples (UPP) is a (in Aliens lore) major interstellar power and rival to the United Americas and subsequently, the United States Colonial Marine Corps. A communist nation, originally formed as a union between Spain, Germany, and Russia, the UPP is often considered, "the runt" of the 3 space faring nations of earth. The UPP is extremely hostile, and its members often engage with marine forces on the surface of LV-698 Baja. Formed by user DeathPro51 in mid 2023 the UPP was plagued with inactivity by its own commander and HRs, before eventually disbanding. As of 2024 the group is dead. 
== Internal Structure ==
The UPP is communist union made up of many different member states and planets. The seat of power is located on earth, and its head of state being the president with the premier to oversee the state council. Each colony under the UPP's control is overseen by a mayor. Unlike some of its rival's such as the United Americas, the UPP has no corporate concerns, nor does it have corporations that influence the government in anyway shape or form, reflecting its nature as a communist state. This however has led to a level of technological inferiority compared to her rivals, and as such the UPP has taken to reverse engineering weapons from organizations and corporations such as Weyland-Yutani Corp, in order to acquire advanced hardware.
=== Armed Forces ===
The UPPs armed forces are organized differently, yet still very similarly to the United Americas. With more emphasis on quantity over quality, the UPP mandates that all citizens at one point serve in the armed forces, and as such, it has managed to amass a fairly large military, most of which are reservists of varying degrees of quality. The UPP has 4 main branches, the Union of Progressive People's Army (UPPA), which is the equivalent of the United States Army, the Space Operating Forces (SOF) which are the rough equivalent of the USCMC, the C/ANF, which is the rough equivalent of the USCM Aerospace division, the Mechanized Branch, which serves as a rough equivalent to the USCM Armored Corps, and the Pathfinders, which would have served has the UPP equivalent to the Scout Snipers Platoon (SSP is currently disbanded). The UPPs armed forces are led by the Generalissimo. 
== History ==
Around March 2193, user Deathpro91 raided LV-698 Baja. A few months later Deathpro decided to form the Baja Rebel Front (BRF). The BRF soon began to frequently attack Baja and the marine garrison there. The young group experimented with a short-lived alliance with CSoF that ended up shortly thereafter disbanding, though both groups still on occasion work together as an alliance of convenience. Many marines intrigued at the prospect of a group formed specifically as a foil to the USCM, took an interest and began attempting to help the fledgling group grow and improve. Some of these marines include WynnCraftMod, who made several uniforms for the group, and Aimbo45, who went on to become a officer in the BRF handling much of their internal work.
Aimbo45 introduced Deathpro to the UPP from the Aliens franchise once he joined the young group. Deathpro was not interested at first, but on November 4th, 2193, he officially decided to rebrand the group as the Union of Progressive Peoples. He found out another marine, Captain Vulcan, having his own small UPP group, had the necessities to make the transition from the BRF to the UPP easier which he took advantage of streamlining the process.
By late December of 2193 the group faced a steep decline in activity that it never recovered from. By 2194 the group died as Deathpro moved onto start a star wars community. Despite rebounding briefly in the summer of 2194 the group once again died due to a lack of leadership and activity.
