Imperial Confederation
The Imperial Confederation, often simplified to The Confederation is a sovereign country located within the Hyporian Sector, the Malvidian Sector, and the Lesphagian Sector. The Imperial Confederation's government is housed on the artificial constructed capital know as Avestion. There are five official member planets to the Confederation: Apregius, Barylius, Octavius, Stellus, and Canidoria. Every official member planet is located within the Hyporian Sector. The Imperial Confederation also has six observatory member planets to the Confederation: Qel, Kiridus, Ardomachia in the Hyporian Sector; Sormidia, Rokophantes in the Malvidian Sector; and Viedma in the Lesphagian Sector. As observatory members, they are considered to be under the Extended Law of the Imperial Confederation. The Imperial Confederation borders the Akannite Empire in the Malvidian Sector near Sormidia, and the Lijiang in the Lesphagian Sector near Viedma.
The Imperial Confederation was initially formed under the Birospan Agreement, a non-aggression agreement between the space-faring countries of the Apregian Republic, the Barylian Republic, the Stellan Union, and the Octavian Empire. The four nations had initially come into contact several times while exploring the Hyporian Sector, and determined that the Octavian Research Station over the gas giant Birospa would be the host of any interstellar overtures.
The Imperial Confederation is the most diverse intergalactic state, have six different recognized state species (Apregians, Barylians, Stellans, Octavians, Caniderians, Canidiums) and nine different minority species (Qel, Kiridesians, Ardomachians, Sormidians, Rokphantics, Akannovans, Akannitians, Akannuuls, and Lijiangites)
