Vaskeo

Introduction

Vaskeo is the name given to the united forces of Virzal, Alokasco, Susaren, Kaneza, Enimy, Omora and the Calestian Caliphate. Not much has been established about the union other than the fact they all have one goal: Overtake the Starlit Empire.

The Federation of Vaskeo is a nation formed by other refugee nations fleeing The Starlit Crusade. Vaskeo is a democratic nation which aims to preserve freedom of speech and rights of the people, which is in complete contrast to the policies of The Starlit Empire. Vaskeo has an economic policy of semi-capitalism, which aims to establish intergalactic trade, and boost Vaskeo home business opportunity. This page will discuss the origins of Vaskeo's unity, Vaskeo overall political involvement, its original (military) goals, and its timeline of events.

Vaskeo Origins

Vaskeo was formed after the First Intergalactic War in which the forces of Susaren, Virzal and Alokasco were defeated by the Starlit Empire on the planets of Newrun and Alokasco. In this war the foundation for the UVSF were first formed, however it was not fully established until the end of the conflict. After the 'defeat' of Vaskeo forces, the Calestian Caliphate assisted in evacuation of these civilisations to the new, mostly uninhabited, Vaskeo Galaxy. This evacuation to the large spiral galaxy became a permanent settlement. Habitable planets across the newly named Vaskeo galaxy became commissioned as settlements for the individual civilisations. The name 'Vaskeo' is an acronym of the first 6 original official member states of the federation (**V**irzal . **A**lokasco . **S**usaren . **K**aneza . **E**nimy . **O**mora), however original drafts of the federation before evacuation from Alokasco only included 'VAS'.

Once settled in the new Vaskeo Galaxy, a strong identity formed within the populous of the divided peoples and species. Many species originating from seemingly all corners of the Staroverse were forced to cooperate in order to survive. This growing concept of the nation 'Vaskeo' was fuelled by shared experiences with the Starlit Empire. Most, if not all, first citizens of the new Vaskeo had a first hand experience of the horrors that took place during the Starlit Crusade. It is these shared situations that brought the new galaxy together in such dire conditions. Once revitalisation of the economy was completed, the unique complexity of the Vaskeo situation made it most profitable for cultures and civilisations across the galaxy to cooperate, ensuring that large businesses (and even the UVSF for that matter) operated in the interests of the galaxy as a whole. Over time, the concepts of planetary borders within Vaskeo began to decompose, with only minor individual provincial matters needed to be conducted behind such borders.

Vaskeo Foreign Affairs

Vaskeo was born in the wake of the destruction brought on by the Starlit Empire, and is purpose is to, put lightly, destroy the corruption brought upon the multiverse by Starlight and his benefactors. Foreign policy was a vital aspect towards achieving this goal. The early Federation of Vaskeo began to form diplomatic ties with many nations across the Staroverse. Contact with nations that had basic rights or reason to engage in conflict with the Starlit Empire were prime target for Vaskeo diplomatic intervention. One large target of diplomatic pressure was The Farlands, which remained in contact with Vaskeo despite it's own isolationist policies. No alliances were ever officially formed between Vaskeo and The Farlands, but the ever strengthening Starlit Empire on the Farlands' border was enough to push The Farlands to become a minor benefactor to Vaskeo in the Second Intergalactic War. Another minor nation that Vaskeo established mutual diplomatic ties to was Tora. The Toran Empire is a distant nation in the Tora galaxy, far from the Vaskeo Galaxy.
