History: General Overview

Early History: Modern historians consider the foundation of the Terran Confederation to date from the signing of the Treaty of New York in -2499. Essentially, the treaty placed the armed forces of the major nations of Terra under the centralized control of the United Nations (until that time, a loose organization of the nation states of Terra, with no governmental authority). In addition, the treaty formalized the changes that had been made in the structure of the UN up to that time. The Secretary General was granted a wider range of executive powers than before. The Secretariat, previously an unofficial advisory group of representatives from the major nation states, was made the chief legislative body. The General Assembly was retained, but it was an institution without real power and served merely as a forum for debate among the representatives of both major and minor nations. The Security Council was dispensed with altogether.

History-Era: Milieu 1100

The Terran Confederation had been a part of history for many years by 1100.

Major Historical Events Timeline: -2204

• (-2431): Terrans acquire the Jump Drive.
  • After the discovery of Jump Drive in -2431 and the initial interstellar colonization efforts, representatives from the colony worlds were admitted to the General Assembly (and, later on, to the Secretariat). Throughout its history, Terran representatives (and thus Terran interests) dominated the Secretariat and General Assembly.
• (-2408): Interstellar Wars
  • The Terran Confederation fought a series of Interstellar Wars with the Vilani Imperium over the period - 2408 to -2219. These wars ultimately resulted in the fall of the Vilani Imperium or Ziru Sirka.
