History & Background

(-2400 to -2398): Name United Worlds adopted by the Terran based interstellar government in the interim period between the first colonial representatives taking their places on the General Assembly, and the first colonial state to gain a place on the Secretariat.

• Despite this seemingly rapid integration of the colonies, they remained in the minority. Thus throughout the government’s history, Terran representatives (and so Terran interests) dominated the General Assembly and the Secretariat.
• The admission of colonials to the Secretariat in -2398 prompted the second change in the state’s name, to the Terran Confederation.
