The United Nations of Planets

The United Nations of Planets (UNP) was a Class 2 Nation in the Milky Way Galaxy. At its height, the UNP controlled 112,000 star systems with a population of 2.1 trillion. The United Nations of Planets was a Federal, Constitutional Republic made up of an executive branch, the Secretariat, a legislative branch, the General Assembly and a judicial branch, the Judicial Council. The nation was lead by the Secretary-General who was chosen in a three stage election.

History
The United Nations of Planets was formed from the 193 independent countries of Earth in 2043. The yearly years were mostly chaos, trying to find jobs for those displaced by the formation of the UNP. In 2061, everything was fixed and organized and the new nation was ready to begin expanding. In 2053 a scientist by the name of Otis Wagner had invented the very first model of Boeing's B-Class series of spaceships. This ship was named the Boeing-53 (B-53) and immediately they began selling them to the Government. The General Assembly voted on buying more B-53 ships and in the end they ordered over 200. In 2055 the Government had received their first shipment of 25 B-53s. They tested them and then sent a forward fleet of 5 ships to test them in space. The first colonies on Mars were set up in 2073 using B-53s and the new B-60 spaceships.

Over the next 30 years, 20 colonies were set up throughout the Sol Star System on Mars, the Moon, and several of Jupiter and Saturn's moons.

In 2118, a group known as the "Order of the Black Lotus" attacked a minor colony on Mars. They successfully defeated the small police force present at the colony and took control. The Order of the Black Lotus sent a video to the UNP Government saying they would kill everyone in that colony and then take over the rest of Mars. The Secretary-General ordered the Second Infantry Battalion stationed on Mars to regain control of the colony. By the time they arrived the colony was completely destroyed and all of its citizens were dead. All over the Colonies, groups associated with the Order of the Black Lotus staged raids against colonies, mines, and research bases. This began the Age of Insurgence which lasted for 14 years. Millions would lose their lives in this war and millions more would be injured.

The Insurgency ended in 2132 when the last Insurgent hideout was destroyed.
