In 953 After the Battle of Rusaan, or 2001AD the Sol system was discovered by the Republic. Located somewhere between Bakura, Endor, and Koda station. Terra or Earth as most called the third planet from the sun was shocked. That not only were they not alone but they were descendants of a sleeper ship from Coruscant. Ironically both languages English and Basic were very similar, but the written languages were totally different.
After helping the Republic Dreadnought Perseverance repair their badly damaged ship, war broke out a year after they left, between the Army of God and the rest of the world. In the ten years of fighting the world lost over one billion people and ruined the global economy.
In 2008 The United States finally ended World War Three when they merged with Canada and Central America, and they dumped all former treaties with other countries and made a new pact with South America. South America under the urging of the US, they merged to form the Confederate States of America, CS for short.
In Europe forty countries joined to form European Union. Russia and most of the countries between Turkey to India in the north reformed and became The Slavicstan Union. The Peoples Republic of China saw the most conflict during this period. Losing Mongolia to the SU collapsed the country. Japan and Taiwan along with the newly join Korea took over and restored peace to China by forming The Greater Asian Conglomerate.
Australia tired of getting hit by China and India took over all the island nations below the Philippines most of the Southwest Asian countries south of Bangkok became the Greater Australian Islands. India did not survive being attacked by China, Australia and the OPEC countries it collapsed. Arab moderates finally wrested power from the Muslim extremists and one by one the countries of the area south of Turkey from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan became known as New Persia.
In 2011 Africa was the last to unionize. Always a hot bed of war, they finally decided to stop fighting themselves and create a refuge for anyone. This brought people from all over the world. The Corporations set up shop creating jobs to support the rest of the worlds war efforts plus South Africa built the first Republic level spaceport. This helped them not only to import galactic products but it allowed them to spread out through the Sol System.
The Army of God was defeated by the US and Se'daii forces near the end of 2011. Master Adept Thomas Hawke returned to Earth after traveling the Republic for eight years. In that time he became a jedi and a sith. By 2008 he rejected both ways of the Force and created his own order. He renamed the sith and the jedi that joined him the Se'daii, and formed the Unified Order of the Force. He then gathered up his forces and returned to the Sol system in 2009.
He brought with him 1000 Force Adepts and a fleet of over two hundred ships and fifty thousand warriors. Joining with the US he was key in stopping hostilities in the Americas. He reordered the Catholics Jewish and Muslims into one religion. By doing this and releasing all the secrets of the Vatican, he woke up the various followers who then left their religious armies. No army could stand up to his Se'daii Adepts or his Mandalorian styled forces.
From 2011 to 2025 over one billion people moved off Earth to populate the rest of the system. Mars was turned into a global city and evidence of the first settlers was found on Mars. The asteroid belt was turned into a vast mining colony and shipyard. With the added knowledge brought back by the Se'daii, the Sol system thrived under the guidance of the Se'daii.
In 2025 a habitat outpost was established in the Alpha Centauri system. The next five years saw the establishment of over fifty habitat outposts in the closest systems to Sol. Self sufficiency was key in putting habitats in every system. Unlike the Republic that only colonized habitable systems. The United Federation saw value in all systems that had planetary rocks in orbit, not just terrestrial planets.
By 2030 another billion people moved to these outposts. The only hyperspace route into federation space was from Koda station, so at the end of 2030 fearing a return of the sith the Republic Senate, against the advice of the Jedi Council, ordered a blockade of the Solar Trade Route, an extension of the Koda Spur. This effectively cut off trade with the Republic.
Master Hawke and his wife, Master Mirna took the 8th Earth Defense Fleet out to Koda station to find out why even republic vessels were not being allowed past the Koda space station system. The 8th EDF was pulled out of hyperspace one parsec from the Koda System. As the sensors came on line, the fifty ship fleet was faced with over one hundred Republic dreadnoughts.
Not wanting to provoke a war with the Republic, he ordered the fleet to hold their position. After a brief communication with none other than Admiral Karel, who he worked for during the Tignellian Sith conflict, he and his wife agreed to a private meeting with Adm Karel and a Senate representative. The meeting turned out to be a waste of time. After three days of negotiating not even Republic citizens were allowed to return home.
The 8th EDF moved back along the Solar Trade Route to the nearest system, and over the next five years turned it into a fortified system. By 2035 a difficult route to the Endor system was found and those Republic citizens that were forced to stay were given the opportunity to return to the Republic. All the humans and the genetically matched near-humans refused. They had created new lives for themselves and they were in high demand.
The beings that had very few of their fellow species in federation space left. Keeping the route secret was a priority for the Federation. All of the beings that left federation became part of an information and technology underground, and by 2040 the United Federation was on par with Republic technology.
Also by 2040 the United Federation had eleven system colonies and over 100 system habitation outposts. They were allied with the Austan, Calzii, Gawarr, Surs'muix, and the Zerian races. The peaceful alliance prospered and by 2045 The United Alliance was formed. Combining the twelve Earth systems with the ninety systems of the other races. It also gained the federation a link to the Bakura System ending the blockage at Koda station.
Even though limited trade with the Republic was reestablished, political ties remained severed. Being cut off from the Republic had created an independent attitude, and any chance of an alliance with the Republic ended back in 2030.
In 2074 or 1026 ABR, The Yuuzhan Vong attacked the Republic. Seeing this as a way to restore diplomatic ties with the Republic. Adept Sebastian Hawke and Adept Sara Hawke along with Se'daii fleet of the original 200 ships. Offered their assistance in the invasion. They played a critical role in stopping the Vong advance in the slice, and in the Core worlds. After Master Tirog found Zonama Sekot the invasion was stopped.
In 2113 Grand Master Hawke and Grand Master Mirna Roan Hawke passed and became one with the force. They left behind eight children twenty two grandchildren and fifty six great grandchildren. At least one of his descendants is on the Se'daii High Council each generation, even though only two or three of each generation make it to the Master level. Most joined the Mandalorian Earth Clan or served as diplomats in the UA.
The Se'daii Order had grown from 1000 adepts to over 10000 strong. The original 50000 Mandelorian based Military Clan grew to over 25 million and most serve in the UA navy. The United Alliance grew from 102 system worlds to over 250 systems, 600 habitat outposts, and forty three races.
Using a true galactic core coordinate system the UA protected all of its hyperspace routes. This created major trade hubs at Bakura, Koda station, Lipsec, and Endor. This benefited the UA shipping guilds, and would have prevented the Yuuzhan Vong from even entering the UA if they got close.
Now after 120 years the Republic finally collapsed and broke apart into separate political regions containing 60 to 1000 systems per region. The UA grew to over 1200 systems and is now the largest political entity in the universe. The Republic navy and the Jedi Order are the only remnant of the Galactic Republic.
The economic structure of the galaxy did not collapse, but after a short depression it actually thrived. Coruscant is still the political center of the galaxy but instead of governing the galaxy its only role is to maintain the Galactic Navy and the Jedi Order. Hutt space also collapsed as all their slave worlds revolted and tried to exterminate the Hutts.
A shift in the Galaxy was felt by all Jedi and Se'daii in 2186AD or 1138 ABR a year later a new hyperspace route starting from Bakura to Zonama Sekot to Csilla to Ilum and ending at Ansion was formed. The galactic veil had dropped, and a new era of colonization was born.
