United Colonies

The United Colonies (UC) mostly operates out of the Alpha Centauri system. Established in 2159, this faction spearheaded the exodus from Earth. Vy 2160, New Atlantis was founded and became the official capital city of the United Colonies in 2161. In 2194, the UC positioned the star station called the Clinic in orbit around Deepala in the Narion system. However, this caused tension with unaffiliated people who lived in the Narion system, who saw this as an act of aggression by the UC in a ploy to expand their borders. The UC refused to back down, which led to the Narion people to join the Freestar Collective. Peace was short lived. By 2196, tensions reached breaking point - with both factions responding to increased military activity. This marked the start of the Narion War, which went on until the Treaty of Narion was signed in 2216. In 2307, the UC claimed the terms of the treaty were violated after the Freestar Collective is caught farming on Vesta in the Lunara system. This led to the Colony War, from which the UC Vanguard was formed. The UC Vanguard is the UC's civilian navy, made up of people who pledged to support UC interests.
