HISTORY OF UNION: The Past‑War Period
Novgorod Publications
2424
Union came out of the Company Wars with both territory and political integrity, not beholden to Earth or Alliance for either. The Treaty of Pell, which ended active hostilities between Union and Alliance, left Earth independent, though militarily reliant on Pell’s Star. The Company Fleet had defied Earth’s authority, rejected the Treaty of Pell, and continued acts of piracy, as apt to prey on Earth’s ships as on Union’s, and now lacking a safe port.
The Treaty incidentally left the merchanter Council of Captains with more power than Pell’s Star Station held in the affairs of the Alliance.
And the same Treaty ceded the greater expanse of human‑explored space to the authority of Union…but placed merchant trade exclusively in the hands of the Alliance Council of Captains.
