Interstellar Federation

The Interstellar Federation is a state in the Beth Sector. It is a loose confederation of several species homeworlds and colonial planets bound together by common interests and economic partnership. The Federation is particularily known for its development and use of genetically modified cybernetically augmented creatures as workers and soldiers.

History
Following the destruction of Earth in the Human Culling Campaign, several research outposts of the Shanghai Pact in the far reaches of the Beth sector reached out to neighboring alien realms for protection. The known regions of the Beth Sector at that time were politically fractured and technologically backwards in comparison, while the aggression of the Septoids and the sudden collapse of Human civilization had frightened the numerous minor species of the region. As a result, they proved receptive to diplomatic overtures from human refugees, who offered their technology in exchange for protection.

The arrangement quickly evolved over the years that followed, eventually formalizing into the Interstellar Federation.
