Historical data

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, primarily humans of Terran descent but with significant minorities of other NILs.

The peace terms imposed on Bright Expansion in 5000AD left the Alasim Cluster and the surrounding systems under the 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 of Selasia, 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.
