Description
After a dark age of constant chaos and bloodshed lasting for nearly three centuries, humanity united itself under a single flag for the second time in its history. In 2801 CE the various former colony worlds joined in common cause on the planet Theoria to found the Galactic Federation. Ruled by a parliament, directed by a president, the Federation was a democratic government dedicated to protecting the rights of its citizens. to celebrate this new dawn and humanities break away form earth the old calendar was abandoned and replaced with the space year system.
The Federation's reunification of the Galaxy incited a new era of deep-space exploration and colonisation. Hundreds of worlds were colonised in this new frontier. Eventually, the new colony worlds became so numerous and so far away from the central Federation government that the rule of law lost power.
By 208 UC, the social fabric of the Galactic Federation began to unravel. Scientific discoveries and the expansion of Federation territory ground to a halt; the people lost interest in politics, and there was growing attacks from space pirates. Crime rates ballooned. Only two centuries into its life, it seemed that the Federation was dying.
In 288 UC, a young soldier named Rudolf von Goldenbaum won a great military victory against the Main Street Pirates, earning him great celebrity in the Federation. In 296 UC he retired from the Armada and began a political career; immensely popular, he was elected to the Galactic Parliament in a landslide election. Rudolf gathered many fellow young, idealistic parliamentarians about him and formed the National Reform Alliance, a new political party dedicated to 'reinvigorating' the Galactic Federation.
With each election, the National Reform Alliance's power increased. By referendum, Rudolf was appointed prime minister; shortly thereafter, Paliament elected him to the office of president. Holding both the office of President and Prime Minister concurrently, Goldenbaum was the most powerful man in the galaxy.
In 306 UC Rudolf declared himself 'president for life', and initiated numerous conservative reforms that, amongst other things, disallowed freedom of speech. Then, in 310 UC, Rudolf reorganised the Galactic Federation into the Galactic Empire, declaring himself Emperor and founding the Goldenbaum Dynasty. A new calendar, the Imperial Calendar, was begun to commemorate the Empire's founding.
------------------------
I have been watching Legend of Galactic heroes and I am loving it! It's got great characters, lore and the battles are fun to watch. The show's long-running time allows it to delve deep into not only its characters but it's lore. Even before the first episode there's been over a thousand years of human development and many other governments. particularly the Galactic Federation the Federation did not have a flag in the original however the more recent reimagining of the show does however I well I like the design I feel it's a bit too cramped so I decided to make my own version. And before you say anything yes it is similar to Star Wars how Rudolf came to power however this was all in the 80s before episode one was even a concept so you could say that star was to form Lotgh.
