Political Information


In 2180, a small band of human settlers set out in a Warp-2 capable ship in search of a new life, away from the fledgling Federation. They set a course south. They endured great hardship during the period and, in that time, over 200 of the settlers died. When they eventually reached their destination, many of the settlers had become embittered and shattered by the things they had seen. They became savage and almost feral. The ship, the tiny ship, had become their home. It took the leadership of two of the more prominent settler families to impose a code of ethics onto their people.

Over time, this developed into an adoption of the ancient Spartan ways. The families adapted the code to help them take what they needed from smaller races. They managed to adapt the technology that they had in order to reproduce parts and systems. As their work expanded, they managed to move out to other planets in the system, establishing The Spartan Nations, an enclave of
