The Confederation of Free Nations

The Confederation of Free Nations was a supranational governing body in The Eden Quadrant during the late 2000's and the 2100's. The Confederation served a similar role to that of the United Nations on Earth. The Confederation battled against the Illtaran Hegemony during the 2130's before destroying the Illtaran home world, known as the Hive, in 2142. The Confederation saw rtapid expansion and by 2190 it controlled nearly the entire galaxy. Unfortunately for the Confederation, tragedy befell it during New Years celebrations in 2199 and 2200. The Confederation's capital, the mobile space station Infinty, was destroyed in a massive explosion. With leaders from every major nation present at the stations destruction, the death of the Confederation was also the death of just about every major nation in the galaxy. With Eden thrust into chaos, many suspected the explosion may have been caused by a group unsatisfied with the way the galaxy was being run. Whatever the reasons, the death of the CFI brought about an end to the galactic Golden Age and the beginning of the Dark Age.
