Terran Federation (Unusual Suspects)

The Terran Federation also known as the Federation is a Federal republic of Earth, and all her colonies that was created in 2063 following the First Contact War with the Caramath. Consisting of a few hundred worlds originally, over the 150 years since their emergence as a interstellar species the Federation has become a galactic superpower leading the way in terms of military force, comming third in the galaxies economic rankings, and being one of the only races innovating, while this can be attributed to their need to catch up in terms of technology.

Human colonization of their solar system began in the 2030's following successful manned missions to mars and the subsequent development of technology allowing for self contained cities to be built on the surface sheilded from cosmic radiation which has been repeted on multiple worlds since then. Following nearly 30 years of colonization and competition between various powers for influence in space, including the militarization of space, the Terran Federation was born out of the First Contact War which came about as a result of the Caramathian race attempting to forcibly capitulate the Human race not realizing the warlike tendencies of Humanity. The war while lasting a period of 4 years was moderately destructive and mostly took places in the lesser developed portions of the planet. The War ended 2059 with the capture of the last great expedition force of the Caramathian forces capturing technology, people with the ability to use it, and the beginnings of applications to modern society brought about by the sudden 30 or 40 year jump in multiple technological fields.

Driven by the expressed ideology of the Hostile Alien theory and a resurgence of a sort of "Manifest Destiny" movement the majority of Earths nations agreed to unify into the Terran Federation, which with the acquisition and reverse engineering of the various technologies (with the interesting discovery that Humans were only about 20 years away from their own Faster than Light development) the Human Species began a campaign of mass expansion out into the stars. With the Human area of the galaxy being a relative backwater Humanity expanded in short order adding Colombia (a renamed Gleise) Eridani (Epsilon Eridani), Saltus, and New Bayern as the first of Humanities major colonies, along with dozens of other minor colony worlds and outposts.

The First age of Human expansion led only to the eventual discovery of the Caramathian homeworld which was discovered to be relatively close to earth not too far away from the Human colony of Eridani. The war became known as the Second Contact War in which the Caramath on their homeworld of Cressia were subject to the vengeful tendancies of humanity. The war Starting over a firing on human ships by the Caramathian home fleet. The Federation wanting initially to establish contact and make peace were forced into war by public opinion. The War however took several disastrous turns as the initial ground force was hit with a nuclear weapon as was the fleet in orbit prompting the Federation fleet to Respond in kind 1 month later resulting in the death of more than half of Cressias 5.4 billion populous. The surviving leaders of Caramath then declared "do or die" resistance showing surprising tenacity and prowess for a non warlike race. The Resistance ended in the near extermination of the Caramathian race who with considerable casualties were leveled to nearly a population of 30 million becomming a client race to Humans continuing to live on their world of Cressia

The Second contact war solidified Humanity as an emerging interstellar power as many races began to discovery of make contact with humanity shortly after. The Federation following this underwent a series of Reforms geared towards a more civil galactic mission. Over the interveneing century Humanity Spread unchecked or with near impunity due to their military dominance and in reaching the modern era were a Galactic superpower with one of the largest economies, the Galaxies single largest and most powerful military, and had a serious hand in Galactic politics.
