Pax Terra

Pax Terra, meaning "Peaceful Earth" in Latin, was a planetary alliance formed in the Medel System by settlers in search of a tranquil and harmonious existence. Founded as a defensive alliance, Pax Terra emerged as a beacon of peace and neutrality in a universe plagued by conflict. The alliance played a significant role in the early years of the Galactic Committee as an unbiased party striving to find diplomatic solutions to interstellar disputes. However, with the establishment of the Confederation of Systems and Stellar Objects, Pax Terra's existence as a separate faction came to an end, although its principles and values continue to resonate within the Confederation.

### Formation and Neutral Stance

* Year: 267
* Location: Medel System, Pax Terra

Pax Terra was established in the year 267 when a group of settlers seeking refuge from the ravages of war and chaos found solace in the Medel System. Their shared vision of creating a harmonious society led to the formation of a defensive alliance aimed at safeguarding their newfound haven. Pax Terra quickly gained popularity as more settlers flocked to the system, drawn by the promise of peace and stability.

### Uninvolvement in Big Wars and Galactic Committee

* Year: 380-424 CE
* Location: Medel System, Pax Terra

Pax Terra, nestled in the Medel System, remained relatively untouched by the major conflicts that engulfed the galaxy during the "Big Wars" era. Their commitment to pacifism and a non-interventionist approach allowed them to maintain a neutral stance, acting as an unbiased party in the early years of the Galactic Committee. Pax Terra's representatives played a crucial role in mediating disputes and facilitating diplomatic resolutions between conflicting factions.

### The War for the Belt and Pax Terra's Role

* Year: 475-492
* Location: Medel System, Carrasco Free Sectors

Pax Terra faced a significant challenge during The War for the Belt, a conflict between the Carrasco Free Sectors and the Belter Liberation Front (BLF). The BLF employed guerrilla tactics and sabotage, posing a formidable threat to the Carrasco Free Sectors. While Pax Terra remained committed to its pacifist principles, the escalating war strained their ability to maintain a neutral stance.

### The Formation of the Confederation and Pax Terra's Dissolution

* Year: 492
* Location: Confederation Assembly, Carrasco Prime

With the establishment of the Confederation of Systems and Stellar Objects, Pax Terra's existence as a separate faction came to an end. The Confederation sought to unify the systems and planets under a single governing body, emphasizing cooperation, mutual benefit, and peace. As a result, Pax Terra dissolved as an independent entity, and its members integrated into the larger Confederation.

### Legacy and Influence

While Pax Terra no longer exists as a distinct faction, its principles and values continue to resonate within the Confederation. The commitment to peaceful resolution, diplomatic negotiations, and the pursuit of harmony laid the foundation for the Confederation's governance. Pax Terra's legacy serves as a reminder of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation in building a unified and prosperous galaxy. The spirit of Pax Terra lives on in the hearts of those who champion peace and strive for a better future within the Confederation.
