This era of the galaxy is one of vague notions of structure, where most parts are uninhabited and lawless stretches under no entity, thus is the status accepted as a fact of life by most, of points of light in darkness, and that of space being a place of silent contemplation among the remains of long dead titans of civilizations that once strode the stars like gods. But one can accuse the races of humanity for anything, but wanting in ambition is not one those vices. The Interstellar Alliance of Greater Urup is a confederation that has existed for thousands of years, composed of the star-nations Fridel, Beldel and Etos. Recently, the new and inscrutable addition to the alliance, the SUS(1) Empire, quickly became the defacto leading polity, through their dedication towards maintaining a level of peace and order that is rarely seen outside the major powers, a great achievement as the Aliiance, despite it's name is a minor power, now growing rapidly as the SUS Empire keeps adding in more worlds into the fold. Though, for all the claims and prefacings of peace, the SUS (full name unknoen) Empire was said to be far less scrupulous than it claimed to be, though no one could confirm their suspicions yet.
1) No, this is not a joke.
