Fiction:United Nations of Xerxes IV's Constitution

"We, the United Nations of Xerxes IV's Constitution, swear to uphold our ultimate, undivided loyalty to the Republic and the Allies. Also, many have pledged their life to God; bless them also."

- UNXC Pledge of Allegiance

The UNXC (abbr. United Nations of Xerxes IV’s Constitution), also known as the Alliance is a very influential alliance within the Valdyan Quadrant and governs at least twelve sectors through extended chains of allied empires. The main species, the Shres, control the UNXC from behind the scenes, using several forms of government to keep order within the colonies.

The Heraldry (2398 A.H., March 2nd)
After the short war between the Human race and the Martian invaders (in which the Martians were defeated), a probe, sent from the Human-Martian alliance, that contained historical facts about both races and blueprints for special technology landed on Cazzna Farellai, the nearest planet with sentient life readings. The Shres received these alien messages. Using practical skills, the native people learned how to interpret the words and blueprints. At 15 A.H., the Shres prepared to launch a Morse code-style transmission. The Humans received the message, and attempted reconnection. However, a subspace wave of garbage energy signals intercepted it, and correlation with the two people was disrupted; despite the turn of events, the Shres used the blueprints to rise up into a great civilization. They reached the prowess of interstellar nationship in 20 A.H.

Communication (2405 A.H., November 23rd)
The greatest nation in the Milky Way Galaxy came to be because of an accident. Two Martian freighters holding a large amount of spice cargo relevant to Earth found a single Shres explorer ship. Both races observed each other for three hours, in turn preparing for anything unexpected. Eventually, the Martians extended a friendly hand to the newly developed spacefaring Shres. With hesitation, the Shres accepted the privilege and returned to their homeworld to report the good news.

Trading with Distinction (2416 A.D., January 12th)
The Shres nation was like a baby, being cradled, defended, and taught as if it had no knowledge whatsoever. Human society experts taught the Shres how to create a government, run a country, develop beneficial creations, and make cities, but it took time, recorded as seven years, actually. Martian Kalbi agents taught Shres volunteers how to defend themselves. This eventually led to the military and federal security structure. But the Shres needed supplies. The leader at this time, Gilus, explained that they were desperate for weapons and merchandise, including spice, as well as currency. The Martian Hr’Gorr and the Human International President arranged these to be done. With the new Tri-Alliance made, the three species could pool their resources, learning more about each other and their discoveries as the years continued. Eventually trade routes were established and many different types of supplies were introduced among eachother. This point in time was known and worshiped as the greatest time in Shres history: the Epoch of Prosperity. All three races coexisted harmoniously for almost twenty long years.

First Contact (2435 A.D., July 7th)
Several years after the Epoch of Prosperity, a new race entered the sector. They referred to themselves as Bisonbecks, and claimed that they had come "on behalf of Spode's will." When a welcoming committee was sent out to greet the new aliens, they met at the border of Martian space and exchanged crewmembers, discussing their similarities and differences. The Bisonbecks were welcomed back to the Tri-Alliance's capital, Earth. The Bisonbeck general leading the envoy, Kra'kla, and Ambassador Ze'em, the Shres Head of Earth Embassy, exchanged these following words in a meeting room with several other officials (Note: some of the other bureaucrats do butt in here and there):

Ze'em: ''General, we welcome you to Earth, the very center of our Tri-Alliance. Surely we hope that it will soon become the Quad-Alliance.''

Kra'kla: *grunts*

Ze'em: ''Could you tell us more about your race, maybe... how about your beliefs? You mentioned something about Spode earlier.''

Kra'kla: ''Yes! Spode is our King, the Lord and Leader of the Bisonbeck Empire. We stand before our foes with the true might we are blessed with. None who have opposed us have defeated us, not even nations united, like you.''

Ze'em: ''*coughs* Well, I'm sure you are a particular power amongst your sector. You must have many systems under your control. Say, do all of your people believe in the same Spode?''

Kra'kla: I am not sure what your intent was in that query.

Ze'em: ''Well, do you force your citizens to worship Spode? Are they allowed to believe in another religion besides this which you claim all of your people believe in?''

Kra'kla: ''Are you implying that we are forcibly making our civilians follow Spode with no exceptions whatsoever? Because if that is the case, I will assume you are naming us as an antipartisan nation, and that is a serious offense.''

Ze'em: That may very well be what I am implying, if that is what you believe.

Kra'kla: *growls*

Senator Johnston: Ambassador, that's enough.

Ze'em: ''Do you, General? You happen to be a very high member of Bisonbeck society, I think, and you should know what your council means to say in this matter. After all, I believe-''

Kra'kla: ''ENOUGH! *flips table over* NEGOTIATIONS ARE OVER!''

Kra'kla proceeded to storm out of the room at a fast pace, summoning his personal guard with him. Later that night, Ambassador Ze'em received a message through LPad concerning his automatic resignation due to "aggressive criticism of another species' customs," a direct violation of the Human's Twenty-Ninth Amendment.

Several days later, Kra'kla contacted the Tri-Alliance government and apologized for his outburst in the meeting room. He rescheduled another senate meeting, with every important bureaucrat there, with the exception of ex-Ambassador Ze'em. The diplomatic meeting was a success, and the Bisonbecks were integrated into the Tri-Alliance, turning them into the Quad-Alliance.

Technological Advances and New Introductions (2437 A.D., December 20th)
Five days before the favored and loved Earth holiday know as Christmas, space stations on the outer rim of Shres territory located a fleet of ramshackle ships from all different species across the galaxy. The ships were towed in by patrol teams that happened to be out and about at the time. When the Shres met with several of these species, they realized they weren't much of a distance away. One such species, the Flundoggen, even had several trading ships come in and out of Quad-Alliance territory. After necessary repairs were made, the Shres, Humans, and Martians convinced each and every species to bring back their diplomatic party.

A week or so later, an enormous fleet of ships were scanned crossing the border. Once they reached Earth (a day layer), diplomatic preparations began immediately. Many species, including a few named the Telicon, Ferengi, Simelou, Cavandin, Krakosian, and Tyrannodon, along with the Flundoggen, joined with the Quad-Alliance, while other species remained outside of the Alliance, but had no hostile intentions (after the Alliance was renamed the UNXC, the outsiders received the title of "The Allies"). The Shres decided they needed a president, a magistrate, a king, so one rose up. The first united leader of all the nations combined was Xerxes IV, the Prime Superintendant.

Against Slavery (2438 A.D., January 2nd)
Xerxes IV became known as an energetic yet wise young Shres. He was so prepared to improve each and every race in every way possible. He grew close to the Humans, working with them and studying them. He thought they were the most fascinating race in the entire Alliance, compared closely with the Flundoggen and Bisonbecks. Slavery was a common obstacle in his leadership era. He knew many of the nations practiced it, and he tried to gain the loyalty of the Grand Council, which was a council of representatives from each and every race in the Alliance. Very few senators agreed with his ideals, and even less had the moral of standing up with him. The Ojians, a weaker people with a lack of proper technology, were found everywhere in the slave markets. Millions of Humans sided with Xerxes in his opinion, and this made it difficult for the Grand Council to rule against it. The Alliance was a democracy, and if they ignored the people at Xerxes' side, they would be proving otherwise. Months later, after showing examples of what slavery was doing, a grim Grand Council surrendered to the Superintendent's aggressive political campaign and passed a law forbidding slavery from anywhere within the Alliance. This became know as Xerxes IV's Constitution, or just the Constitution.

The Shres decided "the Alliance" was too dull (of course, the Flundoggens enthusiastically agreed) so they used the name of the recent law to give them a new name: The United Nations of Xerxes IV's Constitution, the UNXC.

Political Advances (2438 A.D., April 30th)
Xerxes IV began the whole layout for the UNXC. At the beginning of his career, he started to think of political parties for the Prime Superintendent. He began with Promotion of Economy, which was a political party that had ideals that strove to increase the already stable economy's growth and create more businesses and company classes that could provide a few thousand sporebucks which would be distributed among every hard-working family. Non-working people would get an equal share, but they wouldn't be able to register different types of CreditPads. The next one, Promotion of State, showed the people in a different light: it had ideas to improve the military's strength to create a powerful defense and offense. They would also enforce laws of character, such as kindness and appreciation. However, the political party was mainly just a template; candidates would be campaigning in their own way when the time came. These two were the first ever political parties in the UNXC. Xerxes claimed he was part of neither of them in order to prevent discouragement among the people. When citizens observed the descriptions of these, it split the population (metaphorically) and caused different opinions among the people. Thus they were named Economy Promoters (EPs) and State Promoters (SPs).

A United Fleet (2438 A.D., May 3rd)
The UNXC had multiple armies, but they were divided amongst the nations. Xerxes and the Grand Council agreed that there should be a united military, one that any member of any race could join and work with other members of other species. Socially, it could advance the UNXC, the Allies, and the Republic (Human and Martian members of the UNXC). Xerxes and Senators Ver'sohk, Lemay, and Johnston worked together to make this military. It was referred to as a "friendly army," due to how it's purpose was to explore the galaxy, but fight the UNXC's wars as well. The ranks were also retrieved from the Human Navy. Two months later, the project was completely finished: named Interstellar Communications of the UNXC, shortened to IC or InterComms. Immediately, students in UNXC universities and academies began applying for the new course, Spacial Exploration & InterComms. Eventually, over two-thousand students had enrolled in the class across the entire UNXC, more than one fifteenth of the entire population (6.66%).

Economy (2444 A.D., July 2nd)
The nation needed an economy, and it eventually became very simple. The money was separated into sporebucks, a popular currency among the civilizations. Sporebucks of different values were being replicated from federal replication factories from each and every planet. People began to open shops, and markets opened across each and every street among the massive metropolises.

Xerxes seized the opportunity of a new currency to introduce taxes to feed the government. Unfortunately, the population disagreed and immediately went on strike. Xerxes explained what would happen without money to pay to the Grand Council, and the citizens realized the senators would eventually retire once they found out they were being cheated. Without a Grand Council to pass laws and create order, the UNXC would fall apart in a state of civil war. Taxes began low, however, and eventually escalated as the years passed.

Appointing Governors (2446 A.D., October 21st)
Xerxes found it difficult to run the entire nation alone, so he began to consider creating a post for governors to oversee, under him, each sector under the UNXC's, and (extended) the Allies', jurisdiction. He named this post Prefect, and their title would be Prefect of the Sector, in which the name of the sector would be inserted between the two latter words. The Head Prefect would serve as the Prime Superintendent's understudy and deputy. Under the Prefects would be Planetary Governors that would control a specific planet/system other than the one the Prefect would be stationed at. Immediately, campaigns opened and candidates began flooding in. This was the most important point in UNXC history, in which the first Prefects would be named. Political parties for the Prime Superintendent also passed over to the Prefect elections, and Planetary Governors' as well. The following is a list of all the Prefects that won the year of 2446.

The UNXC was finally completed.

A Peculiar Encounter (2472 A.D., June 1st)
In the appointment time of Garoun Sotchaki, the Flundoggen Prime Superintendent that took Xerxes' place after the latter was, to put it gently, voted out of office, another new species entered the quadrant. An explorer ship of an unknown origin crossed the border discreetly. A nearby defense star sent out a welcoming committee immediately to open the gates for the newcomer. When the crew was provided for properly, the people referred to themselves as the Fredorians. They came from areas outside the Valdyan Quadrant and were in search for any life except their own. They claimed they found many primitive life forms, and the UNXC representatives were the first sentient life they had discovered in centuries. The Fredorian science crew was brought to Cazzna Faarellai where they were introduced to Garoun Sotchaki and began to learn more about the UNXC.

Two months later, the science crew began its venture to return to their people. Another week or so, the Prime Superintendent and the Grand Council received a transmission from the Fredorian High Mediator (Sotchaki noted his surprise in how the Fredorians managed to send a transmission with such clarity from all the way in the Kilatian Quadrant):

High Mediator Sik Oodaeo: Hello, Prime Superintendant; Grand Council.

Sotchaki: Greetings!

Oodaeo: I have discussed with my advisers and we have considered your offer.

Sotchaki: ...And?

Oodaeo: *frowns slightly, quickly perking back to small grin* Well, we think an alliance with the UNXC would be fair and useful to our people.

Senator Foundain: ''Excellent! We shall begin proceedings right away.''

Oodaeo: ''Uh-uh-uh-uh. I said we would agree to an alliance; my advisers believe we should not incorporate ourselves into a nation we barely know.''

Senator Kra'kla: ''"Barely know?" We told your science team everything there was about us! Our government, our races, our culture, everything!'' Oodaeo: ''I am talking about time. It has been two months and you are already suggesting that we make a pact saying we are members of a massive federation? That is moving too fast too soon.''

Sotchaki: Yes, but you coming into our culture could introduce many things to the population, some even extremely beneficial for our government.

Oodaeo: ''An alliance could be just as beneficial. Now, I am ending it here. This is where I draw the line. It is either we are part of the "outside circle" or whatever you wish to name it, or we have no deal. So, ladies and gentlemen, what will it be?''

Head Prefect Moularin: ''I chose the alliance. As for the rest of you?''

Council Members: Agreed.

Sotchaki: Agreed.

The Fredorians remained outside of the UNXC for years to come. However, they proved to be the most loyal friends to the Shres, and this belief would eventually change history.

The Fredorian Front has Opened (2490 A.D., January 17th)
Eighteen years after the alliance with the Fredorians, a series of unfortunate events began. A Human terrorist group attacked the small mining outpost on Teris-3, spreading distrust throughout the UNXC. Suspicion arose and the Human's loyalty was questioned. The only races fully by there side were the Martians and the Shres. Several weeks later, a Martian patrol ship fired on six Klaxonian freighters, destroying three of them. Not more than an hour after that, a Flundoggen trade lord that was visiting the planet Saeeram ordered his security officers to open fire on the Prefect while he was greeting three of the sector's governors, in which his guard did not hesitate. The Prefect escaped with minor injuries, and the governors were unharmed. Throughout the month, different species committed horrific crimes against the government, and the UNXC fell into chaos. Even the Allies began having issues. The Grand Council ordered everyone into quarantine. The Central Galactic Power Core (CGPC) was shut down, causing all electronics including automatic doors, elevators, comm systems, PCs, LPads, and any other device that required power and/or WiFi to be shut down while the Grand Council and the Superintendent (still Garoun Sotchaki) began evaluating ways to stop the disruption. They actually realized one thing: they didn't have a "third branch." The Americans, a separate clan of the Humans, had three branches within their government: a legislative branch (the UNXC's equivalent was the Grand Council), an executive branch (which was the Prime Superintendent), and a judicial branch. Sotchaki suggested creating a law enforcement program. The UNXC had police departments, but they consisted of robots and droids, which had difficulty using the sense of reasoning (aka when to do their job, they had to be summoned or activated at that point). The judicial branch became known as the Department of Interstellar Security, which oversaw all security departments. Several governors were given the chance to become DIS officials, and three quarters of those selected took up the offer. Immediately the Department created a federal law enforcement organization that was named the Special Collective of Criminal Investigation and Arrest, in memory of Xerxes IV's original plans. Subdivisions came into existence as the SCCIA proceeded its role, but the few organisms that worked as officers immediately took the authoritative role and settled the chaos.

A few weeks later, a Fredorian was spotted shapeshifting into a Bisonbeck and proceeded to shoot a civilian on Gragus Prime. SCCIA agents immediately arrested the Fredorian, still disguised, and took him in for questioning. The High Mediator was questioned about this, although he claimed he had nothing to do with it. He did, however, reveal that there was a possible suspect. He said the Fredorian government organization know as the Le-dos'Hal, Fredorian for "spies," might have had something to do with the recent chaotic events. The Cae'comisoner of the Le-dos'Hal, Pak Nov, was queried about the issue, and he refused to admit that he was responsible for these actions. After he left, the Prime Superintendant was reportedly shot on the spot while addressing several citizens on Cazzna Faarellai. When SCCIA detectives and investigators rushed to the scene, Sotchaki was already dead due to plasma burn. A funeral was held in his honor on January 25th.

An investigation later showed that a member of the High Mediator's personal guard assassinated Prime Superintendent Garoun Sotchaki from the shadows using a long-ranged type-3 destabilization rifle. This evidence was also compatible with the fact that the High Mediator left hurriedly several minutes before the Prime Superintendent was found dead. The treaty with the Fredorians was broken off immediately, introducing the UNXC into the first stages of a galactic war.
