No information yet available.

==== History: General Overview ====
''Early History:'' Modern historians consider the foundation of the Terran Confederation to date from the signing of the [[Treaty of New York]] in [[-2499]]. Essentially, the treaty placed the armed forces of the major nations of Terra under the centralized control of the [[United Nations]] (until that time, a loose organization of the nation states of Terra, with no governmental authority). In addition, the treaty formalized the changes that had been made in the structure of the UN up to that time. The [[Secretary General]] was granted a wider range of executive powers than before. The [[Secretariat]], previously an unofficial advisory group of representatives from the major nation states, was made the chief legislative body. The [[General Assembly]] was retained, but it was an institution without real power and served merely as a forum for debate among the representatives of both major and minor nations. The Security Council was dispensed with altogether.

==== History-Era: Milieu 1100 ====
The ''Terran Confederation'' had been a part of history for many years by [[1100]].

=== Major Historical Events Timeline: -2204 ===
These are some of the more important historical events that have affected this sector:
* ([[-2431]]): [[Terran]]s acquire the [[Jump Drive]].
** After the discovery of [[Jump Drive]] in [[-2431]] and the initial interstellar colonization efforts, representatives from the colony worlds were admitted to the General Assembly (and, later on, to the Secretariat). Throughout its history, Terran representatives (and thus Terran interests) dominated the Secretariat and General Assembly.
* ([[-2408]]): [[Interstellar Wars]]
** The Terran Confederation fought a series of [[Interstellar Wars]] with the [[Vilani Imperium]] over the period [[- 2408]] to [[-2219]]. These wars ultimately resulted in the fall of the Vilani Imperium or [[Ziru Sirka]].
