Allied Commonwealth of Worlds: Difference between revisions

{{Commonwealth}}

The Allied Commonwealth of Worlds (just Commonwealth for short) is a group made up of member species who came together centuries ago in peace, cooperation, and exploration. Just under a century ago, the Commonwealth faced a powerful enemy that began a war by destroying the majority of the member species home worlds. Those that survived came together and pooled the little resources they had left to build large space stations that would house their survivors into colonies. The Commonwealth has recently discovered, what seems to be, a gateway to another galaxy. Their existence has been bleak, hard, and joyless. They have grown more and more desperate over time. They have been forced to piracy, terrorism, and murder. The once peaceful and honorable people have slowly de-evolved into the very type of warmongers and conquerors they once fought against.  But with the promise of finding their way to a new place that might bring an end to their struggles, there is hope for the Commonwealth and it’s people.

The Allied Commonwealth of Worlds came into existence nearly 200 years ago when its founding members signed an agreement bring their worlds together under one banner. For the next 80 years the Commonwealth prospered. New worlds petition for membership and the Commonwealth grew more prosperous as they peacefully explored their galaxy. The Commonwealth eventually encountered a strange, mysterious species that only ever seemed to appear as ghost-like figures. The Commonwealth tried to engage them in diplomacy, but their envoy ship was destroyed and they never heard from or saw them until 5 years later.
