United Solar Republic of Affinity

The United Solar Republic of Affinity is a tier 2 human civilization located in the Local Group in the Milky Way Galaxy. They occupy eleven star systems and twenty five planets with more than one billion inhabitants for a grand national population of 105 billion humans and 160,000 xenos. It has a unitary presidential constitutional republic.

History
The United Solar Republic of Affinity has its roots in a colonial vessel from the First Imperium, between the years of 3890 and 3939. Based on the current population of Affinity, this colonial vessel must have carried no more than 10,000 passengers. The colonial vessel which was named the Affinity crash landed on the now capital world of the republic, Affinity. It sprouted its first cities in the 4500s and the first interstellar colonial operations outside of the solar system began in 4719. System after system was settled, and in the 7000s a breakthrough in terraforming technology allowed for over a dozen planets, that until then were inhospitable, to be converted into terran and even garden planets. This resulted in an explosion of population.

In 5001, the Council of Human Cultural Tradition was formed. As a federal entity its purpose was to maintain and strictly enforce the continued existence of human cultural identity. Antiquity English, French, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese among other languages, body modification, and national identities persisted successfully through the efforts of the CHCT. In 5614, the USRS Lowenhardt encountered and was destroyed by the first xeno vessel sighted in 1,000 years. Between 5617 and 5629, the USRA was engaged in a brutal war with a xeno force that is labeled in the records as the Greater Star War. The enemy entered their part of space through tears in the fabric of space. It ended after the USRSC successfully transported a dropship rigged with an overclocked translight warp drive through one of their points of entry. They never attacked after that event.
