The state of the milkdromeda galaxy 11 years after the war for heaven.

Note: galactic power doesn't mean how powerful a nation is, it just shows the oldest and youngest powers to emerge, with the first galactic power being the oldest.

The Republic of Terra.

The third galactic power, and the second youngest, with only 3 million years as a space faring civilization. Terra suffered the most brutal history one planet has had, requiring its dominant species, the Humans, 8 world wars to unify the world and become a full fledged interstellar civilization.

Post-war Terra, unlike many of the other galactic powers, did not descend into civil war. Instead, it faced societal collapse as massive riots occurred across the millions of worlds, and the total collapse of the economy after the outdated autarky economic system failed nearing the end of the war.

President Jean Maxwell, who had led the country during the last years of the war, resigned and congress called for elections.

The post-war election saw the United Front, a mostly socialist and liberal Party gaining lead in the elections, leaving the mostly conservative Democratic Union far behind. However, when the fragile economy collapsed, the DU overtook the UF and won the election.

The DU won 51.1% of votes, and Evelyn McBloom became President. In her 10 years as President, she managed to salvage the economy, and bailed important businesses from bankruptcy and somewhat managed to fix the instability of the Terran Republic, which is far from stable. Her first term ended as the Brers region revolted against the central government.

Now in her second term, she must continue with her economic and political reforms. And navigate the hellscape that is Terran politics.

The Second Threal Galactic Empire.

The first galactic power, a very old empire with a very old species. The first empire stretched from all corners of the galaxy, with aspirations to conquer the whole galaxy, unfortunately, the Hadarians came, then the humans, then the Cosmic Federation. The second empire came into being after the empire retook planet Threalia from the Hadarians in a bloody 120 year war.

Post-war Threal wasn’t an ideal place to live in, the current emperor assassinated the previous emperor, who was his older brother, and became emperor. Although the current Emperor has significant support amongst the government, many people in the military thought claiming the throne by assassinating the emperor was unacceptable, and launched a mutiny, which escalated into full blown civil war.

The slaves also rised up, destroying the already fragile Threalian war economy which is dependent on slavery.

Although the anti royalist forces seemed like they would win, as they are well trained and well equipped, the anti royalist forces cannot force the empire to surrender, as they lack the space ships to achieve decisive victory. The anti-royalist forces are spread too thin, occupying a planet seems impossible, and it is only a matter of time until imperial forces extinguished them.

Emperor Myshasyai inherited an ancient dying empire, currently in a civil war, and when it is over, he will need to reform the empire if it wants to survive the post war era.

The Cosmic Federation of Empires.

The fourth galactic power.

Several races banded together and won independence against the Terran republic who once subjugated them.

The federation is a union of several hundreds of civilizations, with more than 3 thousand sentient species living as citizens. Uniting several races under one banner is thought to be impossible by most people, yet they have managed to do it.

Of course, the post war federation is engulfed in social tensions, as many took to the streets to riot and loot. Piracy also became rampant once more as the ineffective administration became more and more corrupt and divided.

After the previous chancellor was assassinated, and public confidence was at an all time low, the parliament elected Morvam Myeara, a moderate centrist to become chancellor, in hopes of maintaining the status quo.

That status quo was shattered when the Borean race revolted against federal rule and urged other races to separate from the federation to create their own nation. The races who attempted to separate were brutally cracked down by the federal army, and the military was sent to crush the Borean revolt.

When the economy collapsed, the riots intensified, however this time, the chancellor ordered the military to shoot. This unsurprisingly silenced the rioters and provided stability somewhat to finish off the Boreans.

The chancellor has consolidated power, and looks to improve the economy of the federation, as well as centralising power to the federal government.

The Hadarian Imperium.

The second Galactic power.

It is the most militarily powerful empire the galaxy has ever seen. Even after the war, they still boast the most powerful and most funded military. Until the army revolted.

Near the final days of the war for heaven, the emperor was overthrown by his sister who was inaugurated the same day as his execution. The new empress, Wyencia the second, was in favor of peace, while the former emperor and most of the military was pro-war.

The old emperor's supporters, mostly from old military officers, revolted against the empress after the empire signed a peace treaty with the galaxy. The young officers who supported the empress consolidated power in the remnants of the loyal military and launched several assaults against the rogue military. All without the knowledge of the empress.

The empress, although she has the loyalty of the young officers, does not control the remnants of the imperial military. She relies on the imperial guard, a special unit of the military who answers directly to the empress. She uses them to restore order in her vast empire while the imperial military was killing each other.

Due to the closed economic policy of the imperium, the economic collapse felt by the rest of the galaxy was insignificant.

The empress must now settle the dispute between the loyal and the rogue military and put them under crown control once more. She also plans to consolidate her own power in the imperium, bringing absolutism back.
