World Union (1999 - 2078)
The World Union was a totalitarian interstellar empire that emerged following the Liberation Wars against the World Government Emergency Commission. Established in 1999 by the enigmatic figure known as The Director, the World Union sought to create an everlasting peace by eliminating all sources of societal division—at any cost.
After the collapse of the Commission, the Director assumed control under the guise of democracy, consolidating power through sweeping reforms that outlawed religion, free speech, and political dissent. The justification was simple: war and suffering stemmed from ideological conflict, and by erasing such differences, humanity could be united under a single, harmonious rule.
This period, known as the Pax Unionis, saw rapid technological and social advancements. Crime rates plummeted, economies flourished, and scientific progress surged. However, beneath the surface, fear and absolute obedience became the pillars of society. The government utilized mass surveillance, AI-driven social monitoring, and rigid class stratification to maintain control.
From 2010 to 2078, the World Union expanded aggressively, conquering neighboring planets and entire star systems. What began as Earth's dominion over its solar system quickly grew into a vast, intergalactic empire spanning multiple universes. The Union’s military—S.T.A.C.C—enforced compliance with unquestioning brutality.

Citizens of the World Union lived under an enforced "utopia," where every action, belief, and even thought was dictated by the state. While those loyal to the regime lived in privileged opulence, the common people lived in fear, ensuring their compliance lest they disappear into re-education facilities or worse.
By 2078, the World Union had reached a tipping point. Instead of collapsing under rebellion, it evolved, expanding its grasp beyond the known universe. The Director—now worshiped as an immortal figure—declared the formation of the Universal Union, a new order that stretched across multiple realities, each governed under his supreme rule.
Once the heart of humanity, Earth was stripped of its significance as a homeworld and rebranded simply as The Capital—a heavily fortified bureaucratic region housing the Director’s elite and serving as the nerve center of the multiverse. While Earth was once the foundation of the Union’s ideals, it became a world of towering citadels, endless factories, and the ultimate symbol of absolute control and peace.
With advanced dimensional rift technology, the Universal Union established control over parallel universes, integrating countless civilizations into its rigid hierarchy. Entire realities were bent to its will, their inhabitants either assimilated or erased.
The S.T.A.C.C, the most feared military force in existence, became responsible for enforcing obedience across infinite worlds, ensuring that no timeline, no species, and no ideology could ever challenge the Universal Union’s reign.
