The United Confederation Of Planets

Formed from one of the largest empires in the Verion Cluster, the United Confederation of Planets is a faction full of diversity and culture. At it's beginning in the Ikara system, the United Confederation of Planets merged two very different races with unique culture and history under one united government, and it's greatest wish is to unite the galaxy in peace.

Silakan Empire History
The Silaka Empire was formed in the year 2107 after the end of the planet's 5th World War which resulted in a planet wide empire. For the next 50 years, Silaka was ruled by a dictatorship that, although it strengthened the economy in the long run, caused general unrest. In the year 2157, the dictatorship was overthrown and replaced by a Republic of the people. The Republic was successful for the next 3 years before it reformed into a Democratic-Republic in 2160. Over the next 14 years, the Silakan Empire experience large technological and economical advances. In the year 20174, the Silakan Empire was at it's height, with unemployment rates down to less then 0.1%, and cities that covered the planet. The Empire was also developing new means to explore the vast reaches of their solar system and maybe even colonize the closest planet to Silaka.

NA History
The Numican Alliance was formed on the planet Adrima, which is located in the Hilder'Ka system in the Verion Cluster. The Numican Alliance started out as a means to keep the peace on the planet, but as time went on, the Alliance proved to be a very effective means of government and it soon controlled the entire planet. As new technological developments were made, the Numican Alliance's leaders began to have an increased interest in space exploration and colonization. Then, during the term of High Chancellor Traki, the Numican Alliance achieved interstellar space travel and they began to expand into the reaches of space. For the next few years, the Numican Alliance became one of the greatest empires in the Verion Cluster, their empire was the largest known to the races in the cluster.

Then the Great War came, it destroyed them as a nation and as a race. With the Terrans about to wipe out the Numicans one system after another, the Numican Alliance rallied every single ship that had not gone to join the main battle to evacuate as many Numicans as possible. By the end of the week, the evacuation fleet of 6500 Frigates, Destroyers, and Cruisers was ready to leave. By the time the Terrans attacked, over 15 million Numicans were on their way out of the cluster and into unknown territory. The Numican Alliance was destroyed in the Verion Cluster by the Terran, and the few that had survived joined the Malsuth Empire, but the evacuation fleet was still deep in the unknown. After weeks of travel they entered the Ikara system and landed on the planet Numa'Ka where they used their ships to colonize the world.

Recent History
When the Numicans arrived in Ikara, they did not contact the Sokana until two weeks after they had arrived. Soon, diplomatic relations had been established, the Sokana were fascinated by the Numicans and their technology which was far superior to their own. Over the next month, the Sokana provided the Numicans with the manpower and materials they needed to finish colonizing Numa'Ka, and in return, the Numicans shared some of their technology. When the Numicans had finished their main colonization effort, they began to discuss joining with the Sokana under one government. Three weeks later, the Numicans and the Sokana formed the United Federation of Planets. The constitution of the UCP guarantied the rights of both races and made provisions to prevent prejudice.
