Peace Hawks

Peace Hawks,

aka Peace Hawk Party.

The Peace Hawks is a former political party who's ideology controlled the Assembly for nearly ten years (3400-3410.)

It's initial goal was to promote peace with the Kermac. To ensure that peace would be lasting, they promoted the procecution of "War Mongering" individuals. The resulting purge killed 3000 officers, and a drastic downsizing of the Fleet to only a tenth of it's prior size. Admiral Richard Stahl escaped the purge with 80 others and treatened to only return to Union Space as an enemy.

Later on they lead the Assembly into considering the Kermac friends and start a process that would culminate in the desolution of the Union and it's components being assimilated into the Galactic Council.

It's downfall occurred when Dr. Isah the most beloved and respected of the 200 immortals speaks out and addresses the Assembly for the first time. He provides evidence that the Kermac started the war and that the Peace Hawk Party is a Kermac Spy Operation. The Kermac had used their inroads to destabilize the Assembly and were on the verge to detonate Solar Bombs (Purchased from the Wurgus) at Pluribus, Sol, Blue Moon, Thebes and SPQR. Dr. Isah also exposes the PSI slave projector the Kermac had installed in the Assembly Building.

The Assembly “awakes” and the truth is revealed to the Union as a whole. President Hollister and every lead member of the Peace Hawk party is arrested. Many of the members exposed as willing and free will collaborators. The Peace Hawk Party is outlawed and by the end of 3411 over 34,000 Peace Hawk Party members are executed. The vast majority of the Kermac  inside the Union Space upon the discovery of their scheme are also executed, with the only survivors being a few who managed to escape to Kermac Space and were able to hide their involvement in the plan to distroy the Union.
