## History

**Founding**: 17 years ago

**Brief History**:

A group of ultra-wealthy merchants originating from various locations in the Solarian Empire, discontent with terrible trade deals and harsh competition with each other, decided to relocate to an uninhabited solar system. The system consisted of only five planets with only one having moons, named Plutus. They established each planet as an independent nation, all being oligarchies, and would constantly fight against each other.

After constant wars, the citizens of each planet successfully rebelled against their rulers. It took another year to finally hammer out an official constitution granting power to each planet with a small central government, as each planet feared a strong central government that would crush individual rights. Within two years, the nation became known for its luxury goods and top-quality spacecraft.

Most recently, a unified force of Suunatari loyalists under Lord Amon and a splinter fleet, led by a renegade Commodore, hailing from the Federation of Sidemore broke off from their respective nations in search of independence. Their journey led them to meet the Confederation. In parley with their leadership, the combined force was quickly brought under the nation's sway and now are under re-organization by 2 of the 3 newly formed Triumvirate.
