The Union of Harmony is a successor state with strong ties to the Solomani Confederation.
- It is a polity combining Human, Aslan, and Minor Race influences, on the spinward side of the Reaver's Deep. Formed in 856 from the scattered worlds of the old Celestime League and the Ulane Nations, the Union has a strong central government based on Gustave (Reaver's Deep 0737), and directly governs most of the Union worlds from there.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Some worlds on the rimward side of the Union of Harmony used to be part of the Ulane Nations (sometimes referred to erroneously as the Ulane Hierate). The Ulane are an Aslan client race of small, pastoral quadrupeds with vestigial wings that evolution has converted to manipulative digits. Their clannish society and great skill in artisanry endeared them much to the Aslan, who took them under their protection.
On the other side, coreward, the Union of Harmony used to be the Celestime League, a Solomani-derived group of colonies of mostly but not exclusively Chinese ancestry, which also had peaceful trade contacts with the Ulane.
During the Aslan Border Wars, the Celestime League was largely annexed by the Hierate, and, while retaining a mostly-human population, adopted a mix of Solomani and Aslani customs and cultural traditions.
As part of the Peace of Ftahalr, the Ulane Nations and former Celestime League became independent from the Hierate; they would later merge to form the Union of Harmony. Despite its size, it is a strongly centralized state, ruled mostly from its capital at Gustave/Uhtaa (Reaver's Deep 0737), with the Ulane homeworld of Ul/Earle (Dark Nebula 0603) acting as a "secondary capital" for the rimward part of the polity within the Dark Nebula Sector.
Information on the Union of Harmony in the Third Imperium is currently confused and controversial because of the Ulane Hoax, a packet of updates spread through the X-Boat Network in 1101 and containing a lot of false information, including (among several other things) a description of the Union of Harmony as the "Ulane Hierate" (an older, never fully serious name for the Ulane's Aslan-influenced modern society). This was depicted in the false data as a farcical parody of the Aslan Hierate. The hoax was promptly discovered (thanks to many glaring errors and contradictions) and its perpetrators (a small group of computer students at the University of Warinir) received heavy prison sentences, but the hoax keeps resurfacing from time to time. This has, of course, caused untold billions of credits in assorted damage to trade and shipping in the region.
