2880 years ago

The United Stars of the Galaxy was formed, that evolved into the United Stars of the Galaxies and eventually became the Union.

There was no political government, there were no ministers, secretaries or presidents. No kings or dictators, the Union was solely governed by its citizens. It was a concept that started 2880 years ago and kept on developing and shaping into something new and different. Something everyone agreed had not existed before in the known history of the Universe.
