The United Adras Federation

## Overview

**The United Federation of Adras** is a governing federation located in the Adras System. Founded in 2281, the Federation is a fairly mysterious and isolated faction. It is believed that the UAF was the result of a UFE human colony being tasked with traversing the galaxy, with their operation potentially being centered towards the colonization of either Alpha Centauri or Barnard's Star.

At that time, Alpha Centauri remained untouched by man, along with the neighboring system of Barnard's Star. Nonetheless, the operation was deemed unsuccessful, as the colony had simply vanished. Rather than reaching their primary destinations, they were instead warped into a completely different location known as the Adras System.

## History

By April 11th, 2267, the United Federation of Earth had managed to colonize a majority of the planets across the Solar System. Feeling confident and greatly determined in controlling even more planets, the UFE government sought to branch out of its own native system. It wasn't long until the UFE began a series of research into the system of Alpha Centauri, along with the neighboring dwarf star of Barnard’s Star. The expedition would be known as **'Project Adras'.**

Thereafter, the UFE promoted the project heavily, and even encouraged its citizens to participate for the grand expedition. This voluntary service, however, was extremely selective and highly demanding from its participants. For instance, any candidate that had prior medical conditions, mental health issues, or suffered from substance/drug abuse would subsequently be denied entry in the colony. Candidates were to be young, healthy, and capable of reproduction.

By August 2nd, 2267, a colonial expedition was established by the UFE government. Featuring a populace of one million volunteers, along with two Atlas-Class space stations, named '**Adam & Eve'** respectively. Alongside these two space stations, were eight military-class cruisers tasked with protecting the populace. High-ranking officials would also participate in this operation, serving as the navigators. The colony group would be known as the **Marlow Colony,** named after leading commander, Marshal-Officer Bishop Marlow.

On August 8th, 2267, the expedition was officially underway. Both space stations successfully left orbit from planet Mars, and subsequently sailed off to the system of Alpha Centauri. Much of the early travel was regarded as uneventful and remained fairly calm for the crew. Both 'Adam & Eve' shipmasters continued to relay their progress, alongside Marshal Marlow keeping up with UFE comms.

However, on August 19th, 2267, an unforeseen accident would change everything. The technology that centered around reaching warp speeds across multiple systems was deemed rudimentary for its time. Rather than under-estimating the expected warp launch, the entire colony had seemingly over shot the intended range. Reaching a warp speed rate of up to 800 trillion kilometers per hour. The sheer force and change of speed had left the exteriors of every colonial ship to be heavily damaged, and nearly ruined. Whilst five out of the eight military cruisers had simply evaporated upon the jump to warp speed. Any form of relay had either been destroyed or unresponsive due to the signal range being too far from the system of Sol.

Everything that could have gone wrong, simply did go wrong once the Marlow Colony had utilized warp speed...

## Military

The United Adras Federation has numerous military branches due to it's large size, listed below are several of these branches;

* **United Federal Planetary Army (UFPA),** serve as the planetary defense unit within the Adrasian Federation.
* **United Federal Expeditionary Army (UFEA),** serve as the basic infantry unit of the Adrasian Federation.
* **United** **Federal** **Shock Army "Wardogs" (UFSA),** serve as the elite infantry unit of the Adrasian Federation.

* **United** **Federal Naval Service (UFNS),** serve as the naval forces of the Adrasian Federation.

* **United** **Federal Space Service (UFSS),** which serves as the air-and-space force of the Adrasian Federation.

## Relations

### • The Gillaxian Empire:

The United Federation knows virtually nothing about the Gillaxian Empire, and thus there isn't an established relation between the two groups.

### • The Maranian Federation:

Mere myths and stories speak of a genocidal race of advanced humanoids, who only seek to prove their superiority over all other beings. If what is said is true, then the United Federation will remain steadfast in defending their planets and colonies from such a mysterious menace.

### • The Aries:

The UAF knows next to nothing about the Aries, due to their significant distance from the rest of the Known Galaxy.
