Fiction:United Pekarian Federation

No government has been as wide-spreading or successful as the United Pekarian Federation. For five hundred years, the Federation has brought unity to its corner of the galaxy. None of the founders could have envisioned the people it would united: kings and presidents, chancellors and dictators, zealots and despots. The Federation has launched an era of peace and prosperity that is predicted to exits for centuries to come.

History
The Fifth Pekarian Global War did not help the planet Anthelow. By its fourteenth year, millions died in the plasma and nuclear fire that engulf the planet every day. In the yellow capital city, government council members Juronic, Tylam, and Lubra discussed the ways they could finally unite the planet. For a thousand years, the people of Anthelow were divided. This had the be the time to unite the world and take to the stars. The following day, Yellow Missile Command launched a series of ICBMs that devastated the hold-out cities. The instant death of 100 million people finally convinced the planet to unify. In no time, the Pekarian's first starship was built.

The first mission was quite simple: explore the home system. Discovery of a crashed starship on the planet Corodmon gave the Pekarians the first proton missiles. Following a distress signal to a nearby system also informed the Pekarians of the Grox. Within no time, dozens of other empires were contacted. Following the Omnisnave crisis, the species decided to band together and in just a few short weeks, the Federation was born.

Government
The Royal House of Pekar is still officially the ruling head of government. However, the Magna Bill of 5691 effectively dissolved their ruling power, though they still have great influence. The citizens of the Federation now elect the Grand Chancellor for an eight year term. He has pass/veto power over all bills that are approved in the Federation Assembly, the body that represents all 400 trillion citizens and lawful residents of the Federation.

The Assembly consists of two houses: the Supreme Council and the Federal Parliament. The Supreme Council represents all species that have sworn allegiance to the Federation. The Federal Parliament represents the people of the Federation. In the Parliament, every single planet, from the core world Anthelow to the smallest colony at the edge of the galaxy, is represented. Each planet has a varying number of representative depending on population. The Supreme Council has 482 members while the Federal Parliament contains nearly 12,000 representatives.

Military
The Federation Armed Forces are the finest trained fighting service in the galaxy. It consists of the Federation Infantry, the Galactic Fleet, and the Colonial Marines, a total of 1 trillion personnel. Service in the Federation Infantry requires six months of training before they receive their Morita Assualt Pulse Rifle. When deployed with Flotte Artillery and Tiger Tanks, the Federation Infantry lays waste to entire regions.

The Galactic Fleet consists of the air craft and space armada for the Federation. Defiant-class Dreadnoughts can carry one million troops to combat zones and deliver enough destructive force on a planet to ensure they never see combat, though this is rarely the case. Service on Federal Star Destroyers has gained a reputation of being the most treacherous part of the Service; at any one time, 3 out of every 4 Star Destroyer crewmen will never return. They are used for exploration and are the first ships to enter battle as well as the last to leave. TAC Fighters are deployed to planets to assist in the fight in any way possible.

The Colonial Marines consist of non-Pekarian personnel charged with defending all colonies and the Frontier. In extreme emergencies or war, the Federation drafts the Colonial Marines into the Federation Infantry. This has already occurred in the midst of the Lobsert War.
