USSP

The Union of Socialist Soviet Planets (U.S.S.P) is a Type Va Galactic Power (Communist Dictatorship) situated to the east of the Galactic Concordat, and north of the Void-Fang Corporation. Covering a total area of approximately 1,000,000 Ly² (333,000 Pc²), it hosts approximately 300 systems with a population greater than 100 million.

The Eastern Uprising
In the year 45 A.C.W, shortly after the Galactic Civil War between The Stellar State of the Crimson Armada, and the three Faction Coalition, a man by the name of Alexy Rohn who was a respected General and Politian in the Armed Forces of the Toron Empire, decided to overthrow what was left of the government after their surrender to the Armada.

He wanted to make a state in which every citizen was equal under the law, equal in wealth and equal in opportunity, to do this he would institute a Dictatorship in the eastern most part of the galaxy, and subjugate the wealthy planets, to "Liberate" as he saw fit. In time he thought, everyone would appreciate the work he had done for the galaxy. However, for the first ten years the territory seized by the now "United Planets" suffered mass famine and wide-spread disease. This was until Rohn died and was replaced by his second in command, Ronald Jarkov, who decided the Union of Planets would become just that, a united and close Union.

And so the Union of Soviet Socialist Planets was formed, all wealth would be shared among the populous, and all citizens would be forced to contribute to the well being of the state in some way, this lead to several human rights violations, which while boosting the economy of the USSP significantly, caught the ire of the Crimson Armada, who barely tolerated the Union as it was.

This would lead to a strain in relations between the two powers over the centuries, and would only get worse later on.

The Great Reconstruction
In the year 70 A.C.W, The Now Head of State Ronald Jarkov, noticed that despite the USSP's massive size they fell behind the Armada in terms of production. This angered and frustrated Jarkov, who decided the Union would rival the Armada in production.

In the last month of 70 A.C.W he launched "The Six Year Plan" in which citizens were required to make their once green and lush planets, industrial waste zones, by building massive factories that would severely hurt and destroy the ecosystem's of the planets. Despite the damage done to the planets that were used to construct these factories, the USSP quickly caught up to the Armada in terms of raw steel, magnesium and refined uranium production.

Still, despite this Jarkov was not happy the Armada still produced ships faster, and so he ordered his now starved and weary citizens to construct massive shipyards over several key planets. This would further anger the populace of many planets, who all attempted to leave the Union peacefully. However every time they would attempt this, the secession was brutally repressed by the Eastern Liberation Fleet or the "ELF", who were the dominant naval group commanded by the Union.

Despite the massive casualties caused by the Six Year Plan, The USSP was now an industrial Powerhouse rivaling even the Armada and Galactic Concordant.

The Passing of Jarkov, and the Rise of Kozlov
Shortly after the great re-construction, The USSP's commercial output sky-rocketed, as they produced more and more ships, equipment and goods for their tired and recovering State. The now aging Ronald Jarkov tried his best to make the state media down-play the lives lost in his Six Year Plan, so that his legacy would be salvaged. This was part and due to the Supreme Leader's Health failing. The Armada at the time offered to give him both top tier medical attention, as well as an age inhibitor, if he gave them a favorable Trade-deal with the USSP, But due to the Union's hate of any state that was not Communist, He denied, mostly out of pride and nothing else.

6 Months Later Jarkov would pass away at the age of 67 from a stroke. He would soon be replaced by the man he named his successor, Mikhail Kozlov, who now was the Supreme Leader of the USSP.

Kozlov would be much more draconian than even Alexy Rohn, who was partly responsible for mass famine in the USSP. Kozlov would almost instantly crack down on several of the Planets suspected of having "Rebel Activities". The new Supreme Leader would see roughly 100,000 civilians, public officials and politicians suspected of being "Capitalist VFC sympathizers" brutally killed or worked nearly to death in Labor Camps.

Kozlov would continue to rule with an Iron-Fist, Killing his suspected opponents, making massive amounts of state fueled propaganda and attempting to undermine the Void Fang Corporation as much as possible. Much to the Ire of the Crimson Armada.

The Armadian Cold War
The situation between the Armada and USSP quickly deteriorated after the USSP was suspected of raiding a convoy of the Void Fang Corporation. This action was noted by the Armadian Admiralty, and was severely frowned upon, so much so the Armada started a harsh trade embargo against the Union, which impacted their ability to gather more scarce materials.

The Union in retaliation, started a build up of warships on their western border with the Armada, and even went as far as to make propaganda depicting the Armada as incompetent and technologically inferior to the USSP, which in reality was the polar opposite, as the Armada had much better technology along with much more competent commanders.

The other members of SATO noticed this and started their own military build-up, culminating in massive arms races, ship building and mass fortification of territories in the Concordat and even Void Fang space.

The “Cold War” would only end with the invasion of the Huang Di, as the USSP saw the extra-galactic invaders as the present and most dangerous threat to their regime, temporarily ceasing conflicts between the Union and SATO.
