The Commonwealth of Man was stellar power that exist in the Vaee'keenlo Universes, operating as a militaristic dictatorship formed from a lost colony of the United Nations of Earth.
History[]
In the wake of a new age of space expansion, the United Nations, the de facto democratic governing body of humanity on Earth, turned their sights on the stars. One of these first projects at the end of the 21st century was the Ulysses Initiative, in which six ark ships, each carrying 250,000 colonists, were dispatched to the Oort Cloud, a small unstable wormhole at the edge of the Sol System. All colony ships vanished, and the wormhole disappeared as well. All ships were presumed lost, and the wormhole disappeared as well. The Initiative was considered a great unforeseeable disaster, though unbeknownst to the UNE, one ship survived and went on to crash on the moon Unity in the Deneb System, eventually creating the Commonwealth of Man. After disappearing through the Oort Cloud, the vessel was transported across the Milky Way by the wormhole.
The Commonwealth formed by the surviving colonists was a militaristic xenophobic dictatorship. The ship crashed on the lush alien moon that became Unity and would grow into the capital of the Commonwealth of Man, Adopting an ideal of manifest destiny, the Commonwealth came to regard humanity's destiny as to dominate the galaxy at all costs.
Government[]
The Commonwealth of Man is fanatically militarist, building their entire government around a military dictatorship and amassing a large military for their conquests of the galaxy. Elections are not held, and leaders serve until they step down or die, after which a successor is disputed through unknown means.
