Fiction:The Core Federation

The Core Federation
The Core Federation, also known as the Federation of the Core Worlds, the Centrari Federation, the Infinite Empire or the Ravenrii Federation, is a massive galactic empire that consists of over 3,200 united star systems populated by the Ravenrii, spanning from the Galactic Core to the Colonial Edge Rims.

History- The Federation was formed in the year 4300, F.A, after numerous independent states of the same race, the Ravenrii, congregated to sign the creation of a Ravenrii Confederation, which was simply an alliance of free trade and peace between the states, known as the Minor Empires. The Ravenrii, however, unified after the Confederation’s creation and became a single centrally organized Empire. The states assigned the seat of government to their home world and the capital of the former most important Minor Empire, Centrus. The Ravenrii, known to be an omniscient race among themselves, established a monarchy in an Empire that thrived during the expansion into unoccupied systems. The monarchy, which stood for more than a thousand standard years, eventually became a nest of corruption and the monarch a simple figurehead, causing a revolt in the Capitalis System and the temporary deposition of the government. These events were violent and considered even human, something appalled the Ravenrii because of their supposed Purity. They abandoned the Outer Ring, their outermost colonies, as they believed that they had been the cause of their atrocities (see pg.4) and concentrated on establishing friendly relations with the first Empire that they contacted, at around the same period of time. However, the Empire eventually grew to control the entire Caeus Cluster, the surrounding cluster of stars, and the expansion proved too much of a strain on their race once again. Riots began among the strained States, and the confusion resulted in the final exile of the current Queen Ayra to the Outer Colonies for the installment of a more business-friendly political system and the isolation of the Confederation from the other states. It became apparent that the people of Centrus had lost their Purity, and rather than face the separation and destruction of their race the Chancellor Airdone, head of the High Court and today a legendary figure in Ravenrii Lore, took control of Centrus and permanently unified the minds of the Ravenrii, further converting it into a federation where the states completely obeyed the home world. The federation, renamed as the Federation of the Core, became powerful to the point of influencing nearby Empire’s politics. The Ravenrii’s prior love for trade resurface even after the Unification, and they soon held a complete trade monopoly in the Prathus Arm, the 3rd and largest arm of the Galaxy, controlling the most important trade routes to the Galactic Core. The establishment of the largest known starship producer, CoreFleet Systems, followed, and afterwards the Core Alliance of Trade became a favored trading corporation in the arm. Finally, the High Court of the Core, the highest authority of the Federation, ordered the reorganizing of its businesses and governmental bureaus. All of the Federation’s trade organizations became a giant conglomerate, The Intergalactic Bank of the Core, the security and military sections were dominated by CoreFleet Systems (the CFS) and Core Security (CorSec), and governmental bureaus were overseen by the regional Courts of the Core, placed in the Colonies, and the High Court of the Core, placed only in Concentron and Centrus, considered the home worlds of the Federation.

Diplomatic Relations- the Core federation pursued extensive diplomatic relations with all surrounding Galactic Empires and eventually the Intergalactic Alliance of Independent Empires, the alliance of most other Empires in the galaxy, until 1.65B, S.A. However, after other Empires’ realization of the scope of influence that the CF had, the functions of the Alliance became anti-federational and concentrating on stopping the CF from acquiring any new worlds. The Federation then invaded planet Sulcan, where the neutral Galactic Court was held, and declared war to all Empires other than its allies. It was known for using strong power and brutal invasions while acquiring the Core Worlds, ruthlessly eliminating empires within its reach and controlling several through its large monopolies in intergalactic trade, using them as leverage. However, the Core Federation was known to have several Empires with which it sustained friendly diplomatic ties, among them the Aleiisha Empire/ Ernest Empire ( also known as the Empire of the Two Kingdoms), the Aquos Empire and the Maximun Empire.

Controlled Systems- The Core federation is made up of over five-thousand worlds, making it the largest in the known universe and earning it the nickname of ‘the infinite empire’. The Empire is considered a Federation because, though it is a single entity, it was created by the union of the Core Worlds, at the Center of the galaxy, and the Colonies, in the Prathus Arm and Outer Rim. Though Centrus is actually the home world of the Federation, it is considered as part of the colonies because the Core Worlds were settled before the clusters around it. The Empire possesses over 3,000 systems, 2,400 of which were gained from the Grox and Make up the Core Worlds at the center of the Galaxy.

Government- The Core Federation consists of over a thousand worlds, making it the largest in the galaxy, all of which are presided over by the Court of the Core. The court is housed in every city of the colonies, acting on orders of the High Court of the Core, the highest authority of the Empire. The High Court is, by contrast, only held at the two most important planets of the Federation: its home world, Centrus, and the ruling body of the Core Worlds, Concentron. High Court of the Core-The court acts as a Senate for the federation, passing and reviewing legislation, regulating military and colonization activities, and revising trade in Federation Systems. The Court’s decisions are considered absolute, and no other organization has the authority to question or challenge it, except for the Court’s Chancellor. However, he cannot overrule decisions unless approved by the Court itself. The HCC is made up of over 800 Delegates, called so because each represents one sector of the federation, which may be one or several stellar systems. The high number of delegates discourages supermajority, though it is usually delegates fro the Core Worlds that have evident prominence in decision-making. Court of the Core-A regional court installed in every city of the Colonies and the Core Worlds, the Court of the Core is administered by 30 delegates, representatives of the world to which the particular court belongs, and 3 high judges, who summarize, order the following of, and register the propositions of the delegation. They also enforce all of the Orders that come from the High Court and bound the delegation within said laws’ limits. In other words; they control the following of the High Court’s laws and ensure that any law proposed by the delegation follows regulations. They also relay any major propositions back to the High Court if a decision there is needed. This is only necessary when the proposition envisions major changes in the Federations legislation or actions (such as a preposition of trade ceasing with another Empire or a War Declaration). Usually, however, the Court just ensures that the High Court’s orders are being followed on the planet, and manages planetary trade, trade route security and planetary issues such as production and maintenance.  The Regency Plot- In the case of the Federation’s home world, Centrus’s, capture or destruction, the Capital of the Core Worlds, Concentron, would serve as the new capital-in other words, Concentron is considered a vice-capital or regent of the Empire. However, in order to salvage the Empire and avoid the substitution of Concentron, there are 2 Centruses in the Galaxy- In case any of the two falls, then the other one will take its place and Concentron will continue being a regent that will only rise to power if Centrus falls. The first Centrus, and the commonly known one, is in the Capitalis System n the Prathus arm. The second is barely parsecs away, in the Calin-3 System. .
