A state of Halcyon Sector with its capital at Selasia (0436 Halcyon). It consolidated from the core trading area of Bright Expansion following the disastrous Associations War of 4998AD–5000AD and the humiliating peace terms that were imposed on the company. The Bright Conclave has a population of approximately 3.12 billion Sophonts, almost all humans of Terran descent.
The peace terms imposed on Bright Expansion in 5000AD left the Alasim cluster and the surrounding systems under company’s control. However, Bright Expansion had been forced to allow commercial competition, which gradually eroded its profits and its power. Internal reforms begun during the Associations War continued, often punctuated by civil uprisings. Bright Expansion was forced to modernise and restructure itself, and in the process it handed more and more of its authority to civil agencies. Systems gradually became independent of Bright Expansion control.
In 5102AD the systems of the Alasim Cluster drew up the Charter, a treaty that formally removed Bright Expansion as a governmental authority in the region and established a series of mutual defense and economic treaties. In 5106AD the Charter worlds formally incorporated themselves as the Bright Conclave.
The government of the Conclave is the College, a meritocracy where only those of proven ability are elected to power – the vast majority of its members are academics drawn from the University of Selasia. The head of state is the Patriarch, and is supported by an extensive bureaucracy divided into different Departments. The armed forces are referred to as the Militia, despite being a modern professional fighting force. The Bright Conclave is a center of learning and the hub of a strong trading network.
