Nuevo Santiago colony independence petition

Political event

18 Scorpii star system

Eli Navarro, a colonial administrator from the fledgling Nuevo Santiago colony in the 18 Scorpii star system leads a delegation of representatives from colonies in the Herculis Cluster to petition the UEF General Assembly for continued regional autonomy. The controlling political party in the General Assembly - the Centralist/Neo-Federalist Alliance - is staunchly anti-separatist and rejects the petition.
