Terran Union

The Terran Union is a group of five planets united together in a single government. The group was originally founded in 2353 by four planets, and the fifth joined in 2363.

History
Due to the belief the the UEC could not protect, nor relate with them, the planets Jona, Redemption, Sierra, and Retribution decided to leave in 2353. They negotiated for a month prior, and within of leaving the UEC, they had formally announced a joint partnership called the Terran Union. In 2363, on the tenth anniversary, Liberation announced that it would also withdraw from the UEC to join the Terran Union. The decision, by Liberation, to join the Terran Union was a blow to the UEC, but they grudgingly accepted it.

Operation
Before Liberation joined, the Terran Union's congress, the only governmental body, was based on Jona. Afterwards, however, they created a second congress, and based it on Liberation. These two congress's, in conjunction, work to establish laws, make foreign policy decisions, and legislate. The office of planetary Overseer is the executive branch on each world. In times of war, the Overseer of Liberation becomes the High Commander of the Union's army.
