The Rim League is a Federal Republic that Lives completely on void ships and Space Stations. It is a Federal Republic situated in the Outer Rim, although it is known to very rarely go near the belt and inner system.
History
In the Year 1776 AD, The United States Of America, The Predecessor to the Rim League, declared Independence.
In 2097, when the Ash Wars Started, The Main Government of the US moved itself into space, protected by a Privateer Group. The two would combine later in 2103, when the Mainland US was destroyed in the Ash Wars. The Capital was the USS Torrens, one of the 13 original ships that would later form the Rim League.
Still 13 strong in 2299, they attempted to ally with Jammuka, only to be forced to fight his fleet in 2312 after the Inner Cordon forced their hand. The Loss of the USS Jamestown at the Battle of The Northwest Star had taught the USA that long-range weapons would be best for a now entirely-spacefaring nation.
In 2351, The USA was declared as criminals by multiple inner nations. They fled to the outer rim, transforming into the Rim League under Admiral-President Jay Marshall. Although his reign would only last 6 years, he had lived long enough to approve the design of the Stetson-Class Ships in 2352, dying later that year. Following the death of Marshall, The Rim League began a losing streak as they continued to retreat further into the Outer Rim, losing all but three ships before finally building a Stetson-Class ship.
For the Next Three Decades, The Rim League continued to build up it's fleet, although losing 2 other of the original ships, leaving the Torrens as the only remaining original Ship. While the full fleet was not fully realized until 2399, a majority of Stetson-Class and Washington-Class ships were built in this time. The Magnus II station was also established, allowing for a faster shipbuilding and resource collection.
In 2392, The Alexander Hamilton, the first and currently only Hamilton-Class Ship, was completed in the John Jay Shipbuilding Yards of the Oort Space Station. Due to the age of the Torrens, The Alexander Hamilton was voted to become the New Capitol of the Rim League, although being stationed on the Torrens Remained a great honor and duty.
In 2399, The Rim League completed it's 122th ship, the Stetson-Class RLS Spirit of Fire.
Politics and Government
The Rim League is a Federal Republic similar to that of the Precursor USA Government. It is split into three branches: The Legislative Branch, The Executive Branch, and The Judicial Branch. For more detail, please read This
Foreign Relation
The Rim League is mostly Isolated, although it is an informal ally to Irav and Noria.
The Rim League also maintains an anti-inner rim Policy, embargoing most inner nations.
Social Effects on Politics
The Rim League is heavily socially focused around a sense of Militarism and Nationalism. These factors play into the unofficial meritocracy. As such, The Rim League often Elects leaders off of Military service and National pride, and every President Under the Rim League (Excluding the Presidents of the Precursor US) has done Military Service and be an Admiral.
Military
The Rim League enforces Conscription of able-bodied men and women from the Age of 18 to the age of 22. Due to the culture of the Rim League, Military service is seen as a great honor and dying in combat is the greatest honor to have. Most people who live in the fleet usually have a Rifle and a soldier's uniform. This is so that if any active personnel are killed, a civilian who has previously done their mandatory conscription years must take over for that Soldier's place.
Army
The Rim League maintains an active ground army of around 250,000 Personnel. This is the smallest branch due to the lack of Territory needed to defend on planets. They are, however, given high-quality and capable fighting equipment and armor to protect them. Soldiers are often the first to fight when a ship or station is boarded.
The Rim League Navy is entirely space-based, made up of all 122 void ships that make up the Rim League as well as various fighter craft carried by the ships. The Navy consists of all the Classes of Ships in the Rim League, and is the largest branch of the Military.
The Navy is the First and Last line of defense for the Rim League, and it is where a majority of conscripts and career soldiers are placed.
Airforce
While there is no formal airforce, Adams-Class and Roosevelt-Class Fighters are considered part of the Airforce while also being part of the Navy. This largely depends on the situation.
