Polity History
The United Nations of Worlds began on Gudrun just after the events of The Scream. The human members of the then named Greenbriar Pharmaceuticals Incorporated realized both their home office and the life they knew was probably gone forever, and it was only a matter of time before the human colonists united with the Taros, and Piggen natives to combat mutual threats on the surface of their home planet.
From their lush homeworld, the early United Nations of Worlds ventured out among the stars, assisting nearby worlds with their problems. Mariam, an ice planet, and Aslief, a night world with a people broken by the Tenebrian Remnant were the first to join and many others followed soon after as the tides of the United Nations of Worlds-Remnant War began to turn against the powerful Tenebrian Remnant.
The people of the United Nations of Worlds are innovative and strong, seeing their pocket empire beset by powerful foes on all sides. Peace was achieved through skilled diplomacy, military sacrifice, and luck, and the polity hopes to continue being the driving force of positive change in the sector.
The United Nations of Worlds Today
As of November 2667, the United Nations of Worlds has expanded to twelve member worlds, each providing something unique to the polity as a whole. Humans now stand shoulder to shoulder with seven other alien races, under a common set of ideals, and a common respect for all sentient life.
The first Post-Scream election was held within the territories of the United Nations of Worlds and this was seen as a triumph of Post Scream governments behaving how they should. A massive investment into the many worlds they control is underway with the guidance of President Harkoni and a strong Unity Council of lawmakers. These projects are meant to raise the people up, and allow them a hope of regaining the progress they once knew before the events of The Scream. Most United Nations of Worlds planets are more closely overseen by a governor, all of whom participate in an internal body called the Body of Worlds. From here, the polity determines how to best support its member planets.
Possessing one of the largest navies, largest armies, and enormous wealth, the United Nations of Worlds stands at a precipice. Many fear a Roman Empire effect where this power will lead to decay, and many others believe it will be something altogether unseen that sunders the polity.
Polity notables today work round the clock to ensure a peaceful realm, and strive to fulfill their duties as members of the emergent Iron Stars Federation. Warm relations are also enjoyed with the Greystar Confederation- the two polities having fought side by side against many mutual threats. Many speculate a special debt is also owed in a sense, as UNW operatives were the ones that spearheaded freeing the Greystar capital of Acastus from the clutches of The Still Lady. If political leaders feel some sort of special political consideration is owed, none have dared broach the subject.
This warm relationship has chilled somewhat as of late 2669, when the Greystar Confederation decided to remain independent of the emergent Iron Stars Federation.
The Iron Stars Federation
The United Nations of Worlds is one of the signing polities that make up the Iron Stars Federation. This political union is one of cooperation, mutual research agreements, defense pacts, and industrialization standardization made between the Communist Brotherhood of Stellar States , The Elysium Protectorate, the New Moon Cooperative, and the United Nations of Worlds.
To date the Federation has been slow moving when it has come to enacting its many policy initiatives.
