New Slavic Solidarity: Member state of the Solomani
Confederation. Many of the Solidarity worlds were first settled during
the Interstellar Wars by Terran
emigres fleeing political unification at home. European and Russian in
origin, the colonies never enjoyed official backing, and their early days
saw primitive conditions and much hardship. During the Long Night, the
worlds banded together to defend against piracy and raiding, preserving
their shared Slavic language and culture in the process.
Presently, most of the worlds have passed from military
rule, now being governed by bureaucracies and democracies. Relationships
with the Confederation are strained
at times, as the Solidats value their heritage of independence. The Slavs
have filed protests over Confederation meddling in their internal affairs,
but as yet the conflict is not heated, for the Solidats support the Confederation
military as a counter to both the Hierate
and Imperium. -sta
