The Union is still known as the United Stars of the Galaxy. Core members are :United Earth, Sarans, Pan Sarans, Ult, Spindlar, Bellebees, Quadi Peds, Saturnians, Stellaris, HumanoBots, The Vril, (899 Members all together) and all in the Upward Sector. The Union / Kermac war ended in 3499 with Admiral Stahl leading the first fleet in the Steel Broom Raid clear across the Kermac Space and is within reach of the Kermac Main World Kermac Prime. The Steel Broom Campaign was both brutal and costly but Union Forces did not stop to conquer worlds, they bombed and destroyed everything in sight. The Kermac convene the Galactic Council and ask all former members to intervene. Political Pressure at the Assembly rises from a new political party called the Peace Hawks, to end the war. The Assembly votes to recall Stahl and the Fleet and sign a cease fire and non aggression pact with the Kermac. Hip Hollister is elected president of the United Stars. He is the party leader of the Peace Hawks.

3401
The Assembly calls Stahl for a Hearing and Stahl is accused of War Mongering and War crimes against “helpless” and peace loving Kermac. False evidence is presented claiming it was Stahl and his cohorts who started the war in the first place and committed unspeakable crimes against sentient beings. Stahl is declared guilty by a Tribunal Court and the Assembly votes 51 to 49 to sentence Stahl to a Penal Colony along with 3 other Admirals, the Marine Commandant and the former President Ron Webley.

President Hollister orders all war criminals to be incarcerated or executed. 3000 Officers of the Union Fleet are executed. Stahl manages to steal a supply ship and escape his execution. He sends a message via GalNet to the Assembly with a sealed set of documents and declares that he will no longer be a Union Citizen and declares that if he ever comes back he would come back as an enemy. Admiral McElligott escapes the Purge by direct intervention of the Saran Queen. The Assembly agrees against the will of the Peace Hawks that McElligott never clamored for war and he remains Admiral of the Fleet. The day the 3000 Officers were executed is called the Bloody Sunday. The President declares capital punishment outlawed and only to be used against War Mongering. The Fleet budget is cut to 10% and Ships are decommissioned, Weapon research outlawed and all Academies closed. The President and the Peace Hawks promises 10,000 years of peace.

Dr. Isah the most beloved and respected Immortal speaks out and addresses the Assembly for the first time.
