Soviet Star League

A collection of communist countries on various planets of the Cluster’s “North”. It arose during the last stages of the First Interstellar War and has been slowly expanding into the Mid-Rim up until 189 EE when it suddenly collapsed.

Although all countries within the alliance are said to be ‘equal’, it is quite obvious that all real decisions come from the central Politiburo of Russkovi, located on the planet Volga of the White Bear System. This has lead to the stereotype of a Star League spy being of slavic characteristics, but in truth the SSL is remarkably varied in it's composition.

Their continual encroachment outward has lead many nations of the Core to adopt a 'corporatist' bend, turning a blind eye to the abuses of megacorporations and despotic countries of the Mid-Rim as long as they provide a hard buffer against the tide of communism.
