Galactic Concordat

The Galactic Concordat is a Type IIIa Galactic Power (Federative Republic) bordering the Tri-Empire to the west, the Crimson Armada to the south, the Void-Fang Corporation to the southeast, and the USSP to the east. It has by-far the largest population numbering at over 2.6 trillion citizens, and grows further with each passing decade.

A Free Republic is born
In the year 510 B.C.W, shortly before what would be called "The First Reaver Crusades", Hertalli Bacara would take territory that was once oppressed by Reyuis Crimson and his forces, and give it an interesting choice, Join his Armada or Form a Democratic Power that would seek to empower it's people. This would ultimately lead to the Eracustas Convention, in which several delegates from hundreds of systems met to discuss the idea in further detail. The Convention would end in an almost unanimous vote to become an Armada-Backed Independent Republic.

In the months following this convention, a central government was set up, with Eracustas being it's capital. Grand Admiral Hertalli and the Armada as a whole would help the newly christened "Galactic Concordat" build war-ships, infrastructure, agricultural worlds for food and even massive ship-yards to build and maintain a fleet. This would culminate a very strong and fervent alliance between the two stellar nations, meaning if either were attacked the other would almost immediately rush to the aid of one another. In the following years the Concordian Navy grew in strength rapidly, due in part to the Concordat using a naval doctrine similar to that of the Armada.

The rapid success of the fledging Republic was astounding, and the credit of it's accomplishments was given mostly to Hertalli, who denied helping as much as he actually did. This would further improve his public image, making most citizens of the Concordat loyal to him.

Despite these success's, the Reaver Tribe's were encroaching further and further into Concordat territory and eventually the Galactic Power grew tired of this. Very soon it would step in to assist the Crimson Armada in it's "Reaver Crusades".

The Reconstruction
The Reaver Crusades would be very difficult for the Free Republic, as The Reavers would attack the colonies of the Concordat brutally. Economically this had a very adverse effect on the stellar nation as infrastructure would be decimated as the Reavers used their scorched earth tactics. The massive death and destruction would only stop after the Crimson Armada used nuclear devices on what most considered the Reaver home-world. After the Armada brutally ended the First Crusade, The Concordat would be left to fix it's damaged Ship-Yards and Burned Agricultural Worlds.

After nearly 10 years of reconstruction efforts headed by the Concordian Head of Industry, the Concordat would recover economically. However in the time it took for the Concordat to do this, The 2nd Reaver Crusades were about to start, however this time the Concordat was ready to take on the tide of the Reaver Hordes.

In 172 B.C.W, The Chancellor sent nearly 12,500 war-ships into the territory of the now weakened Reavers. This Fleet would cause devastation upon the Reaver Tribes already damaged infrastructure and colonies, leading to the Reavers being all but driven out of Concordat space.

When the 2nd Crusades ended, the Chancellor continued his efforts to boost Concordian Industry, and for the most part he would see great success.

Constructing "Westbrook's Line"
With the end of the 2nd Reaver Crusades, and the Reconstruction finished, The Concordat would look to it's less than friendly neighbors of the 3 Faction Coalition. It was decided by the various strategists of the Concordant, that a "line" of fortifications be built near the border of the Toron Empire near the modern day Eastern USSP Border.

These fortifications consisted of planetary bases, orbital defense platforms, Massive orbital stations, stationary defense fleets and even Void-Space Dampeners. The man behind the plan, and the one who advocated for it so heavily was none other than General Nigel Westbrook, head of the Armadian Revolutionary Guard. Using his immense talents in engineering, he designed the various fortifications used in the defensive line, making it near impossible for an enemy to attempt to attack the line directly.

The validity of Westbrook's line was put to the test when a fleet of no less than 60 Reaver Ships attempted to get pass the line and attack civilian targets near the area, However for nearly 10 hours of constant suicidal attacks the Reavers were unable to even damage any of the fortifications. This cemented the infamous reputation of Westbrook's line.

It may have been the construction of Westbrook's line that saved the Concordat in the Galactic Civil War, when the Toron Empire attempted the very same thing as the Reavers only to lose nearly 70 ships attempting to breech the line.

Tensions with the Three Faction Coalition
In the year 4 B.C.W the tensions between the Coalition, Armada and Concordat were becoming more and more evident. The members of the Concordat Senate knew a war was coming, so preparation began, and the mass mobilization of troops and fleets started quickly. 4 Years later this would come to fruition when on 1 B.C.W, the first skirmish between the Armada and the Toron Empire occurred.

The Concordat sent an official diplomatic protest to the Toron Empire, who had fired the first shots at an unsuspecting Armadian Fleet.

Standing with the Armada
Though the Concordat hat not yet fought in a large scale conflict, and had hoped to stay peaceful for eternity the hopes of the Concordat as a whole were dashed quickly. Soon after the Armada was attacked by the Toron Empire, a large fleet was soon detected heading towards the territory of the Concordat. The Fleet was found out to be from The Arien Ascension, the zealous empire. This of course made the senators in the Concordat panic as they hastily voted for an official warning to be sent to the hostile Coalition Forces. This warning would pass through the senate unopposed, and promptly it was sent to the hostile factions. This warning was worded as the following:

"We In the Free Republic of the Northern Galaxy value our freedom, liberty and pursuit of a joyous and happy life. We do not want any part in the war between you and the Stellar State of the Crimson Armada, however if such force is used against our Republic or Citizens, we will retaliate."

The warning served only to infuriate the Arien Ascension, who ordered their ships to attack any Concordat held space, ships or even civilians.
