People's Federation of Systems

## History

### Disorganized Pirates

The People's Federation of Systems, as sophisticated of a society as it is, has origins rooted in the loots and riches of a fledgling pirate gang. Charlotte Corday, recently having escaped from an imperial labor camp, began her piracy operations within the Southern Outer Rim sectors where the influence of the Empire and the Hutt Cartel clashed.

Charlotte would be able to consolidate a small force of pirates under her command. While the pirates pledged to not interfere with the imperials or hutts, a miscommunication led to the small band of raiders to attack an imperial-aligned convoy within Hurt controlled space. Not only did this violate both the Hutts and Imperials, it earned the small pirates a fortune as the convoy carried a large amount of spice.

From this point forward, Charlotte would include imperials as targets of her raids. The imperials would chase the pirate up into the borderlands region of the galaxy. Using hit-and-run tactics against pursuing imperial forces, the Empire would refocus their forces on the imminent rebel threat.

Now being free from Imperial scrutiny, for now, Charlotte's gang would now operate within the borderlands region of the galaxy, preying on both imperial, rebel, and neutral ships along the Perlemian and Hydian hyperlanes.

### Trans-Hydian Coalition

Using her wealth gained from their stolen spice from the Hutts and her success in the borderlands region, Charlotte's forces would continue to amass as her pirate gang became the most dominant within the region.

Eventually, Charlotte monopolized pirating within the region. Her gang would give an ultimatum to the other pirates which operated within the region. They were to join her or be driven out of her territory. Having both the forces and finances to back sustain such a conflict, most chose to join her.

This event would be known as the Trans-Hydian Charter, forming the Trans-Hydian Coalition which would operate as a loose confederacy of pirates, all ultimately answering to Charlotte and her personal forces. Of course, this sudden union of pirate forces in the area caused concern for the imperials and the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) which held a large amount of influence in the sector.

The pirates, knowing their enemies, would begin to launch raids against the CSA, becoming a large source of riches and loot. This is where Charlotte and her faction's ideology would begin to formalize, as the CSA's and the Empire's crooked practices revealed harms of both systems.

### Post-War Reorganization

After the war, the Trianii Collective faced an identity crisis. Only officially being a provisional government to effectively direct Trianii and Coalition forces during the war, not many knew what the future would entail. However, what people did know is if Trianii organization collapsed, the CSA would jump at that opportunity to retake their territory.

Charlotte had enough power within the Collective to effectively control the Trianii sector. So, she did, assuming control of the Collective with her superior forces. This was a move not met with much resistance as many of the Trianii desired change, especially after seeing the brutal effectiveness which Charlotte brought to their ranks.

Charlotte would begin reorganizing the Collective and consolidating power, making the command structure more centralized. With the annexation of CSA territories, she announced the formation of the People's Federation of Systems, formalized on Trianii by the Articles of Federation, signed by delegates of the Trianii and each annexed world.

Charlotte's new government consisted of two branches, the Administrative Committee which assumed the roles of the executive and judicial branch, and the People's Congress of Union which assumed the role of the legislature.

During this time, the legislature had a substantial amount of power in contrast to Charlotte. While Charlotte did put herself in a position where she couldn't be removed as the head of state, she didn't give herself or the Administration all the power within the government. However, after a year, that would change.

### Reconstruction Decree

After a year of stability and cold war between the Federation and the Corporate Sector, Charlotte would begin to consolidate more power in herself and the Administrative Committee. She would limit the power of the Congress and turn it into a one-party delegation made up of a political faction formed by her, the Communist Party.

Eventually, Charlotte would control the Congress, and issue the Reconstruction Decree, stripping the Congress of all of its duties except to propose legislation to the Administrative Committee. All judicial power was then consolidated under the Prime Magistrate and the People's Ministry of Justice, subordinate to the Administrative Committee.

At this point, there was only one governing body of the Federation, and that was the Committee. The Reconstruction Decree also prompted a reorganization of the military into a more centralized force which answered to the Ministry of National Defense under the Committee, previously answering to a separate entity known as the Collective Defense Commission, military organization largely staying the same since the Trianii Collective.

Under this reorganization, the Minister of National Defense was the second in command of the Federation's military, only being under the Prime Consular herself. Under the Minister of National Defense was the Supreme Commander, who mostly holds a ceremonial position as a homage to the position being commander-in-chief of the Trianii Collective's military. The Federation Navy is led by a High Admiral and the Federation Army is led by a High General.

Local governments are split into Triumvirates which are then split into individual planetary governments. Local governors, or Associate Consulars, are allowed to maintain a local defense force consisting of a fleet and army. However, these local forces are commanded by an Admiral or General belonging to the Ministry of National Defense.

### Modern Day

The Reconstruction Decree provided a basis for rampant militarization as a cold war continues to wage with the CSA. The Federation has also set its sights on expansion elsewhere.

A Federation sponsored coup on Emberlene would allow for an occupation of the world. This would allow for Federation forces to move to occupy the sector, including the sector stronghold Nanthri, which ironically, was occupied and ruled by pirates.

For now, the Federation continues to militarize and prepare for another inevitable conflict with the CSA and perhaps a conflict with the Empire, imperials being an ally to the Corporate Sector and have not yet intervened in the situation.

## Government and Military

The bloody war between the fledgling People's Federation of Systems began after the new state sent a fleet of ships to assault the very heart of the Corporate Sector Authority.
