GNB (Galactic Network of Birds)
The GNB (Galactic Network of Birds) is a network of 89 civilizations that are connected through Signalports to communicate and trade with ease.
When the GNB was formed in 2904 SE, a technological revolution started with the invention of hyperstellar travel and Signalports, allowed through fast trade between solar systems. Though it functions as an alliance, even when a minor war breaks out between two civilizations in the GNB, it's common for both sides to stay part of the organisation for it's benefits. However it is not unheard of for a civilization to get kicked out due to starting wars and such.
The Role of Skyberia's birds
The birds of planet Skyberia play a huge role in the GNB. Not only did the Skyberians found the society, but they still currently run it after thousands of years. This certainly makes sense, due to the race's tehcnological achievements and peaceful nature (thanks to their location)Three collapses
As with any other group, the GNB has collapsed in the past. Many times, it has had it's ups and downs, with civilisations leaving, rebellions, the like, but only 3 times has it truly fallen apart, and yet, all three times the group managed to bounce back.First collapse
The GNB's first collapse happened rather soon after it's founding, in the year 2982 SE. So far only 17 empires were part of the GNB unlike today's impressive 89. Due to the GNB's small size at the time, it was only run by a very small council of Skyberian birds with a leader named Kimnea Zonara. During this year, the whole council was together to discuss how they could expand the GNB's horizons, when suddenly the building was bombed by a fleet of jealous Dah'al birds. The Dah'al empire in question was indeed part of the GNB, and had been planning the attack as a rebellion, angaist the fact that only the Skyberia empire was leading the GNB. Upon the deaths of the council, with no Emergency Conciousness Copies (ECCs) in existence due to the technology not existing yet, panic ensued and the GNB temporalily disbanded. It took a while before the highest-ranked remaining citizens of Skyberia finally took action and organised a temporary council to rebuild the GNB. As a result of the first collapse, several changes were made within the GNB. 16 out of 17 original empires rejoined, with the Dah'al ending up getting kicked out. A new, permament council was formed consisting of birds from multiple empires within the GNB. The descision to do both spontaneously, since the second change was for what the Dah'al had been rebelling angaist in the first place, sparked a lot of controversy, although it eventually died down. Upon the invention of ECCs in 3053, they were made for every bird in the council, to prevent the organisation collapsing again for simmiliar reasons. The council's ECCs are all stored in seperate, top-security vaults in undisclosed locations, making it impossible to destroy them all at once.Second collapse
Possibly the most severe out of all the collapses, in 4295 arguments within the GNB caused an all-out galactic war. A few birds in the now larger council of 350 were considering using genetic modification technology to unify all races of bird into one. Of course, the moment these words got around in the media, there was a gigantic controversy and thousands of (often violent) protests. These fights and disagreements eventually caused the GNB to split into 2 seperate organisations- the OBU (Organization for Bird Unity) and the SSC (Species Seperation Coalition). Both groups had many planets supporting them (the decisions to do so made only by world leaders).Third collapse
