Confederation of Allied Systems

Introduction
An Empire of the Galactic Rim, the Confederation spans many systems and consists of a number of different races. It is run from the Hall of Speakers, located on the Azae homesystem of Xio. The dominant race is the Azae.

History
The Azae were starborn early in the First Age, and quickly dominated the systems surrounding them by aggressively introducing democracy and technology to the surrounding worlds, ever growing and improving themselves and those around them.

With the encroachment of the Terran Empire, however, system after system of the Confederation was lost to the Terrans, until the last battle was fought before the Helios Gate that lead to the Xio; and athough the Confederation was more advanced technologically (thanks to the Azae), they did not have the numbers of the Terrans, and so that fight - like so many others - was lost. When the Humans attempted to activate the gate to Xio and the surrounding system, however, nothing happened. It was assumed the Azae, as a last ditch measure, had forever separated themselves from the galaxy by destroying their jump gates. Soon after the Terran Empire fractured, however, the Azae once again appeared and began to spread democracy and reform amongst the stars once more. Their ships come in all shapes and sizes, packed to the gills with advanced technology and all manner of defensive capabilities.
