In the aftermath of the Last Terran War, reconstruction was lead by the Alphacorps, who made efforts to ensure that much of humanity’s technology was preserved. Breakthroughs in engineering took mankind’s reconstruction efforts beyond the stars, where they discovered the descendents of the Generation Ships that fled Terra prior to the war now living in faraway star systems. The Alphacorps, in return for assistance in healing mother Terra, capitalized on this opportunity and helped reconnect these long-lost societies. As a new age of exploration throughout the stars began, the governments of these planets took steps to ensure an event like the Last Terran War never happened again.
The Interstellar Peacekeeping Federation (often referred to as either “The IPF” or simply “The Federation”) is a multi-planetary, intergovernmental organization dedicated to maintaining peace and political stability throughout the galaxy. Its council consists of 112 member states across 41 planets, who vote on matters of law within the sectors of the galaxy that make up “Federation Space.” Interstellar law is upheld by Federation Public Security, a military-police force jointly funded by all member states.
Citizens of member states are all eligible for Federation Citizen IDs, which permit interplanetary travel within the sectors of Federation Space. Federation Public Security closely monitors and controls the routes of travel between planets and star systems, and keeps a vigilant eye out for those who attempt to bypass their checkpoints and flight lanes. Citizen IDs also allow civilians in Federation Space to access the satellites maintained by the Alphacorps for communication across the galaxy.
Member states include both planet-encompassing governments and nations that share the same planetary body. Careful checks and balances are maintained to ensure that no one government or planet holds too much influence over the Federation’s policy making. Membership in the Federation is reliant upon a nation’s continued compliance with the Federation Bill of Human Rights, and penalties for governments found in violation of the basic rights of their citizens have historically included sanctions and restrictions to space travel.
