"Towards the victory, even if alone."

- General Baysid Marsenfat

United Republic of Nations, (fcm. Réssid Kéámal Otşét) is an association of numerous civilizations inhabitating Mirus and Cyrannus galaxies in the First Gigaquadrant. Formed in 2492 during Sorithrad Conference, URN is regarded as the legacy of the Seran culture. As federation of dozens of spieces salvaged from galaxy immersed in chaotic war, URN poses as multicultural realm, bringing together benefits of both decentralized and centralized forms of administration.

URN government directly administer over 71,192 systems with 143,819 planets colonized and 19,133 systems during colonization process. Despite it's rather small size, URN develops several very advanced technologies in the range of communication, weaponry and chemistry.

The Republic's capital,, is located in Kogra Triangulum region of the Cyrannus Galaxy. Considering it's origins, history, low development and political status, URN is important rather only in local sector.

First Union (1289-1903)
Most of the URN members are descendants of lost, Seran culture. These states originated from Sera galaxy, once hid in endless void surrounding Gigaquadrant. Major species of URN emerged from Seran dust around 270,000 years ago, quickly developing on various worlds among billions of life-giving worlds. Around 500 A.D., Tal’Sheez, Zuriattans and other Serans begun their expansion in native galaxy, globular clusters and satellite galaxies surrounding Sera. As the nations started colonizing nearby systems, it became clear that old galaxy is not to remain a peaceful place forever. Major conflicts begun to start around 1200 A.D., when rapidly expanding empires and interstellar republics insisted on their territorial claims. Periods of peace were short and uncertain, with warring states breaking truces and treaties on a daily basis.

Guaranteeing stable alliances and treaties became harder with every month. In 1289, Zuriattans and Tal’Sheez signed an unification agreement, which led to creation of the First Union. Region of galaxy settled by these nations remained relatively calm for next centuries to come, however perceptible tensions between major empires of Sera started to compromise safety of the first Union members, which by 1550 consisted of 28 autonomous states. First Union adopted the title of peaceful realm, yet it was meant to undergo the war, which was to end the history of Sera.

Great Seran War (1871-1903)
The war started when tensions between two Seran powers, Symen and Jovioca Empire, resulted in several local clashes on their border. Symen government attacked Joviocans in an open act of aggression in 1871. Both empires had numerous allies, which were immediately dragged into war. Many of weaker states forming these alliances were eradicated by dominant forces of major powers in conflict in several weeks. Some, like Fyhun republic, started to attack its neighbours, even neutral. One of such attacked states was the First Union, which had no choice but to defend it’s borders. Hostile actions did not end however, and after surrender of Fyhun capital world, hostile nations attempted to attack both First Union and remnants of Fyhun republic.

Another dominant power in Sera, Feuhun Empire, attacked one of First Union’s former allies – Ezyl-Jaz Empire, which was to join the Union in several months. Long campaign resulted in utter defeat of Feuhuns, however at great cost of manpower and diplomatic relations and treaties. The dense net of contacts between species inhabiting Sera started to morph into complex system of alliances, with more and more powers involving in pan-galactical war. In 1891, all states in Sera were entangled in war, or eradicated by stronger neighbors. Galaxy begun to collapse.

By 1892, Symens and Joviocans signed a peace treaty, however both of these nations still fought with hundreds of other republics, states and empires. In order to prevail through raging conflict, some nations simply left Sera using wormholes, black holes or using FTL drives. Many of mightier powers took that as an act of cowardice and started to hunt down escaping fleets, one by one. With each month, population of Sera was dropping around 5 to 7%. Manpower reserves started to decay, Empires fell into internal conflicts as more and more planets surrendered to flames and gunfire tearing apart millennia-old cultures.

Exodus (1903-1905)
Being aware of the terrible situation of the First Union, the Great Council decided to search for alternative ways of surviving the war. The research proved obsolete and misleading – results clearly shown, that there’s but one way of surviving – escaping Sera.

The great project, codenamed „Symeron” (Ancient city sieged by hostile forces, whose inhabitants successfully fled the city, deceiving the attackers). First Union secretly proceeded to gather fleet, which was to evacuate billions of people from other civilizations, as well as from members of the Union. By the end of 1903, the fleet already consisted of 1,299,183 spaceships carrying over 7 billion Sera inhabitants. By the end of 1905, this number was to grow exponentially, up to over 150 billion escapists.

The “Symeron” project was successfully kept in secret until 27th March, 1905 (sol). Dispersed fleet was called to immediate evacuation two weeks after hostile powers detected one of it shards in Oprecif system. Gathered force of over 200 million ships begun its travel to the Promaxis Warp Gate, located in Zyrkathian territory, not sure about where it might lead. Despite of quick mobilization and excellent command, united forces were attacked near the Warp Gate entrance, blocking access to it for several hours. Strict generals and decisive attacks led to the eventual victory of allied forces, however ransomed by loss of thousands of corvettes, frigates and cruisers. Fleet successfully entered Promaxis and escaped dying Sera galaxy at 21st April 1905. However what happened to the galaxy remains unknown, rumours and exiles tell about the total annihilation of the galaxy and its inhabitants after the final stages of this destructive war.

Exile & Second Union (1905-2329)
Vile warp gates were never an object of interest of Seran civilizations. Their unpredictability and unknown nature effectively shielded them from trespassers and adventurers willing to exploit their potential. Promaxis was such a gate. Although studied and somehow described in various scientific publications, not a single Seran has ever tried to unveil their secrets. First Union had a little time but to think about the danger lying within them – threat of imminent destruction pushed them to the insane idea of trying to escape using warp gates. Anywise dangerous, Promaxis offered a chance, that was never to appear again. Escapers had no other way but to risk everything.

The ominous interior of this space-time rift proved incredibly helpful, however somewhat dangerous. Although none of the ships in “Symeron” fleet were destroyed during this questionable “trip”, nothing but minor damages to ship hulls were reported. Upon leaving the Sera First Union and fellow civilizations had left behind their origin, home and knowledge.

The exit of Promaxis led to the void surrounding Fism Cloud, which later appeared to be called by their inhabitants the “Cyrannus Galaxy”. The closest stellar group to the exit point was Fism minor – satellite galaxy orbiting Cyrannus. The trip however, was to take over 2 years of drifting without any available resources at the fingertips – thus being unable to repair the damaged ships. All ships that were damaged beyond repair before and during travel were eventually recycled and reused to serve needs of other spaceships - time became the biggest enemy of the “Symeron” fleet. Without the ability to use any of the FTL drives due to mutilated engines of the majority of the ships, this voyage, later called “Covurtasuud” (calm) proved to be longer that it was expected.

By the 7th February 1907, “Symeron” fleet reached the Fism minor.
