Union of Systems



The Union of Systems is an interplanetary government that appeared on the Zkaara sector around 100 BBY, It was a backwater, and relatively unknown state untill it's involvment in the Clone wars, where it declared war on the Confederacy after the attack on Kirshahi on 20 BBY, it rose to prominence after the assasination of Palpatine, and the economic and politic collapse of the republic in the period 19-17 BBY which saw how the republic shrunk back to the core, as it adopted harder anti-jedi policies, currently, it's in a state of Cold War against the rump Galactic Republic, the resurgent Sith Empire and the Chiss Ascendance, who also came to prominence after the Republic Collapse, because of it's status as Protector of democratic systems and states, and it's power, it is also dubbed as the Second Galactic Republic out of the Rump Republic territories.

History
The Union was Founded around 100 BBY, when representatives from Terra Prime (or Sol III), Kirsahi (the main Togruta colony on the sector), Skaara (home of the Skaaran people, the most advanced on the sector), Centauri Prime (Colonized by exiled Jed'aii after the Force wars on Tython), and Siraadah (a colony made by Arkanian Offshoots who escaped from an Arkanian colony on the same sector) gathered on Centauri Prime, with the signing of the treaty of centauri (and officialy with the ratification of the Charter a few months later), the Union was established as a Republic, whose armed forces would consist of it's members's armies, the next 60 years would be spent in wars between the newborn Union and Sith and Mandalorian factions, untill around 40 BBY, when the last Mandalorian Faction was forced to join the Union, the next 20 years were peacful, untill the Clone wars arrived to the sector.

Clone Wars
in 20 BBY the Separatist Forces attacked Kirsahi, leading the Union Congress to declare war, Operation Nighwing was issued in mid year 20 BBY, with an offensive that led to the Organa-Jing Xia pact between the Republic and the Union, in 19 BBY Union and Republic forces attacked Utapau and Geonosis, destroying most of the Confederated command structure, shortly after, a mysterious person (later revealed to be a Union operative) killed Palpatine, the murder was based in information that led the Union to think that Palpatine was planning to attack the Union, breaking the Organa-Jing Xia pact of non aggression, however, the Union did not anticipate that the assination would lead to a major crisis due to the politics that Palpatine was about to carry after taking the power

Rise to Power
In 17 BBY the Union was in a unexpected position, with resurgent Sith and mandalorian threats, and a crippled Republic, the Union was forced to take on the Republic's role as galaxy protector, after the Coup d'etat against Chancellor Organa in 16 BBY, the Union withdrew it's ambassador from Courscant, and gave asylum to the exiled politician, another example of the politics taken by the Union in that period, include the Naboo Crisis in 18 BBY, when Naboo resigned to the Republic, Sith and Mandalorian were moving their fleets to the planet, affraid of an attack, Queen Apaliana, asked for Union protection, the 7th fleet was sent to aid on the defense of the planet, but after a while the Union diplomats managed to get a retreat from Mandalorians and Sith, a few years later, Naboo joined the Union, along with many other planets, shortly after, it was dubbed as the second republic altough the Union government has denied any intenttion to replace the republic

Cold War
Since the Naboo Crisis, a state of Cold war is considered to exist between the Galactic Republic, the Fifth Sith Empire, the Chiss Asendancy, and the Union, reciently, the Chiss have allied with the Union, getting new trade partnerships.
