Description (Specifications)[edit]
The League's 49 full members are self-governing worlds. These members send two representatives to the League Assembly, which convenes for a 90-day legislative session every standard year aboard the Capital Orbital habitat, a station in geosynchronous orbit above Corella. Prior to the repeal of the Federal Constitution in 742, the League's members had met continuously in the Grand Assembly Hall, within the ornate Grand Centrum Station, a structure since deteriorated to become part museum and part second-rate highport in orbit around Centrum.
Demographics[edit]
- Aniyun of Quatenon
- Human (the vast majority)
- Kemlae of Kemlos (the largest non-Human demographic)
- Small enclaves of Freni are established on some Corellan League worlds.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Early Years[edit]
The League became the first interstellar state in The Beyond with the settlement of Tatiana -- now Garr -- in -1535. The Kemlae joined the League almost immediately upon contact in -1531, becoming the second race and system to join the nascent organisation.
In -1525, Corellan scouts made first contact with the Aniyun. Relations were friendly, but most Aniyun couldn't understand the concept of a large unified state. However, when offered League membership the race wasn't opposed. Unfortunately, there was no central government to sign a treaty. Gaining consensus of the majority of communities took decades, and the Aniyun finally became League members in -1380.
The League's membership varied over time, with all the Sindalian Diaspora colonies in Beyond, except Keshto and Pritchard, being at least occasional members.
With the signing of the Reformed Constitution of -1409, the League was strengthened and power shifted away from Corella, solidifying the authority of League institutions and moving the capital to Miranda, which was renamed Centrum.
Political Upheaval[edit]
Two crises nearly dissolved the League. The first was precipitated by the secession of Centrum and Valhalla in -1237, and the second by the secession of Garrone -- now Stormhaven -- and Valhalla (again) in -873. By -850, the League was reduced to little more than Corella, Centrum, Kemlos, and a few minor colonies and outposts. The arrival of Aslan scouts and settlers after -800 changed this dynamic and strengthened the bonds between the worlds of Humaniti. In -793, the Treaty of Garrone saw the return of the League's two powerful wayward members and established the Corellan League Star Fleet.
Between -603 and 422, the Star Fleet launched the Twelve Expeditions, campaigns to prevent or reverse Aslan expansion. The celebrated Storm Knights were at the forefront. The strains of the long period of conflict brought the League to near civil war by 420, but this crisis triggered a conference sponsored by a lone diplomat from the Third Imperium, leading in 422 to the Peace of Kaiear between the League and 11 Aslan clans. The treaty brought peace but also the expulsion of rebellious Storm Knights and the establishment of the splinter state of the Stormhaven Republic.
The Modern Peace[edit]
In 935, Tirost withdrew from the League when its new leader, the Duality Prophet Zydar, protested the League's lack of involvement in ending his world's wars. Following the social reorganization of the Great Realignment, Zydar spread his rule from Tirost -- now renamed Zydar -- to neighbouring systems. The outpost of Oquir, renamed Zydoquir, was claimed by 936. Oquir had been under control of the former Tirostian nation of Kanbarre, and for the next few decades was Zydar's only claim to interstellar statehood. The establishment of the Star Legion of the Codominium in 962, however, was followed by its occupation and conversion of nearby Danaria (quickly renamed Zydanar) and Exanos (renamed Zydexnar). The Corellan League reacted poorly to these occupations, but war was averted after Zydar declared his expansion to be complete. In 964 he signed the Treaty of Nestor, guaranteeing the independence of that system, which remains the main trade conduit to the League.
Foreign Relations[edit]
While there is no enmity between the League and the Corellan-descended Hefrin Colony, there is also minimal trade. The League maintains a small consulate on the Hefrin breadbasket world Khiiszarbi, staffed almost entirely by locals.
Economics[edit]
A multi-system corporation within the League is registered as a Consortium. Collectively, they are known as the Consortia.
- Gateway Consortium
- Itahll Industrial Consortium (defunct, once based on Dorstyal)
- Shalukin Consortium
- The Corellans assisted the Third Imperium in trading with the Sred*Ni by creating the Web Edge Consortium.
Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)[edit]
In theory, the Corellan League Star Fleet is a combined military force directly answerable to the League Assembly. In practice, the professional seven member Staff Directorate sets policy and issues orders, and equipment differs from place to place within the League.
Once they modernized, they tried to update their naval architecture with mixed results. The Corellan War Corvette is an example of their ship building. [1]
The Acrux-class heavy cruiser is the most prevalent capital ship of the Corellan League naval forces. It is produced in large numbers by the shipyards at Valhalla (as well as under license by Jeremiah).
