The Rejuvenated Extent of All Life, often referred to simply as the Rejuvenated Extent or as the Universalist Commonwealth, is a sovereign state located in the Kibos Arm. It is bordered by generally stateless areas on all sides, and its capital world is Arctara.
The organizations that would eventually go on to form the Rejuvenated Extent started out as the United Laborers, an alliance of trade unions on certain Galactic Union member worlds led by a council of organizers, who banded together following persecution by pro-corporate politicians, law enforcement, and the corporations themselves. In particular, the corporations instituted union busting measures, doing tactics like locking out those who attempted to unionize, and firing or cutting the hours of those interested in unionization, while manipulating local media to paint these workers in a negative light. Following these rapidly mounting tensions with their bosses, the first shots of what would become known as the Fanato Emergency were fired at a strike by workers at a mining facility on one of the planet's colonies, as the owners of the facility tried to send in security forces to break up the strike, but some workers responded by arming themselves and shooting the security forces, starting a worker uprising that swept the colony, before news of it spread to UL-affiliated workers on other worlds, who were emboldened to start a large strike, threatening to start their own uprisings if the corporations continued to bust unions.
(Fodder fodder, GU government sides with the corporations, workers lose against the larger, better-equipped, and more coordinated forces of the GU, although maybe some GU soldiers defect?)
With the swift end of the Fanato Emergency, parts of the United Laborers made the decision to retreat to the Kibos Arm, in an event that would become known as the Great Trek, aiming to retreat before they could be caught, and build a new state where the workers governed themselves. Arctara was chosen as the destination due to not only its distance from the Galactic Union, but also for an abundance of resources in its system. However, Arctara's surface proved extremely cold, forcing the population underground, due to the presence of volcanic vents. Upon settlement, however, the new Universialist political movement took hold, arguing that the best way to solve the lack of coordination experienced at the Fanato Emergency was a more centralized government led by a monoparty.
The Rejuvenated Extent is a one-party Universialist republic led by the Galactic Labor Party.
