Federation's lore

## The United Earth Federation

**Species:** Human

**Place of origin:** The Earth, a sun’s planet in the Milky Way Orion's arm’s inner rim.

*Besides having advanced self-consciousness and self-ambition, humans are social beings who can be characterized by working together, advanced speech, and thinking. Although they are considered a relatively young species regarding the conquest of space, they have a promising future due to their willpower, adaptive and problem-solving skills. They compensate their vulnerable physical structure with their sophisticated technological solutions, which gave them the opportunity to gain access to more than one Star systems.*

### History

In the near future, countries of the Earth are clustered in an international organization to create co-operation between states and prevent future wars. Aligning mankind under a common flag helped the economic and technological progress that paved the way for space conquest.

Due to the increasing economic needs and overpopulation, the colonization of the solar system's planets and moons begun. Workers, scientists and their families arrived to the first colonies; they have later been replaced by thousands of people fleeing from overcrowding. Earth's neighbor, Mars became the second-largest populated planet with nearly two million people.

Although the Federation has given the opportunity to represent the colonies in the Council of Nations, their influence in their own affairs was very slim. The reason for this on one hand is the general attitude of the Earth that the colonial addiction is so strong, it can not be seen as an independent state for the colonies, and on the other hand, the profit-hungry lobbying of the two mammoth companies of the Federation, McDonald & Hayes and Unicorp

As a result of the federal exclusion policy, Mars first proclaimed its independence and founded the state: Democracy of Mars, in other words DEMA. This act has triggered the last great conflict of mankind in the Martian Independence War, which ended after three years with the victory of the Federation. Although DEMA lost the war, everything has changed radically because of this event; the Earth's Nations recognized that the colonies should be treated as federal states.

During the last clash of the Phobos battle, DEMA had an unknown technology to break through the Federation blockade. Many rebelling ships with Patriot Generals and Captains on board took advantage of the confusion of the united Earth fleet, broke out and disappeared in the endless space. Many guerrillas have been waging war on the Federation with numerous raids, causing permanent problems to the Federation Trade Fleet or the Space Command.

The constant hunger for profit of McDonald & Hayes and Unicorp drives mankind to constantly expand its knowledge of space, explore new planets and stars. Companies are in a constant economic fight with each other regarding the use of space resources. The result of their competition was that people could explore distant stars, and the Federation was forced to maintain a huge fleet to protect the mining stations from pirates hiding in the darkness of the space.

### Technology, weapons

The human race, nearly from birth is in constant battle with each other and with its environment, and this infinite warfare has driven them to continuously search for the most effective weaponry and technologies. The human race has reached today's level of development through several industrial and technological revolutions; the most recent was the stable use of cold-fusion energy sources and quantum computing.

The Federation Space Command has systematized several types of weapons, supercomputers and warships, and is constantly researching the experimental technologies that can be used to destroy their enemies. Currently AIDA is the most advanced technology system, which is an artificial detector, data collector, data analyzer and support intelligence built on quantum computers. The Federation battleships have different weapons, which all depend on their size, such as kinetic destructing artillery cannons, tactical lasers, intelligent missiles and torpedo systems.

### Economy

The Federation's economy is based on the mining equipment and technology systems developed by the McDonald & Hayes and Unicorp corporations. The Space Command’s and the colonies' hunger for raw materials is mined from ore-rich asteroids with Engineer Shuttles. The ore is transported from the Mining Stations into the local Command Stations with Icarus cargo ships.
