Sylean Federation
A large interstellar federation of star systems which eventiually became the Third Imperium.
Established on Sylea in -650, the Federation grew slowly by trading with and absorbing local worlds. By -30 the real power was held by the Zhunastu family and it's head, Cleon Zhunastu. Cleon used his family's industrial base and personal charm to obtain control of the Federation and began an active campaign to increase the membership of thye Federation.
After 30 years, economic leverage, diplomatic missions and military action, the Federation had reached the edges of the Core Sector, and Cleon decided that any more expansion would require changing the structure of the government, so he decided to revive the Imperium, allowing him to lay claim to the former territories of the First Imperiumand the Rule of Man. This was made possible since one of the last ruler of the last people with a claim to the throne of the Rule of Man made Sylea his capital.
In the 651st year of the Sylean Federation the Grand Senate "persuaded" Cleon to become Emperor. Cleon was then crowned First Emperor of the Third Imperium and proclaimed it to be Year Zero of the Third Imperium.
