Until less than 3,000 years ago, they exerted great power over large swathes of Florathel, and were reviled across the universe until their fall in the [[War of the Last Alliance]]. After its birth from the bloodbath of the [[Peony Wars]], the Union has changed form numerous times over its long history, from a short-lived egalitarian democracy to seven separate military dictatorships. It saw the rise of galaxy-spanning religions and the entire life cycle of some species, and is arguably one of the most important nations in all of history.

	The Providence Union was the last of the ancient Florathelian empires, succeeding [[Yanaris]] after its dissolution into the Warring States Era. It is considered by most historians to have begun after the end of the [[Peony Wars]] over the [[Heart of Providence]], at the time one of many squabbles over various strategic locations within Florathel. Its very long history is divided into several periods, the '''Unity of Peace''' (5,122 - 6,004 CE), the '''Revarean Dynasties''' (6,004 - 6,318 CE), the '''Nerax Dynasties''' (6,318 - 6,499 CE), and the '''Military Providence Union''' (6,499 - 7,300 CE).

	With the Akradax Collective and Providence Union in an uneasy peace after the Vadria Accords of 6635 CE, the only major threat to the Union was the up-and-coming nation of [[Pecay-Po]], found in the nearby extragalactic [[Nalachi Cluster]]. With its general remoteness, the nation used its seven stars very well, with every ounce of energy emanating from them used efficiently in some way. With Pecay-Po exploration craft being sighted at the borders of Florathel, the Providence Union felt threatened by this new power and invaded in ~~6660~~, not even bothering to see what the nation's intentions were.

With its general remoteness, the nation used its seven stars very well, with every ounce of energy emanating from them used efficiently in some way. With Pecay-Po exploration craft being sighted at the borders of Florathel, the Providence Union felt threatened by this new power and invaded in 6844, not even bothering to see what the nation's intentions were.

	Being a very efficiently run nation, Pecay-Po had a lot of power to bring to bear against its invaders, blasting fleet after fleet into cosmic ashes before they even entered the Nalachi Cluster. But when a fleet of Providence Union battleships finally entered the [[Poralor's Ring\|Poralor System]], the end was near. Poralor's Ring was shattered and its inhabitants spun off into the void, along with them a decent fraction of Pecay-Po's military industrial complex. The fleets advanced under heavy fire towards the [[~~Tulach~~ System]] and [[Devoro]], one of the capitals of the nation, finally reaching it in late June and destroying the small moon completely with volleys of relativistic kill missiles.

	With half the nation's government completely gone, Pecay-Po capitulated, only to suffer the orbital bombardment of [[Nalachi]] and the severe irradiation of the entire Valme system. Almost the entire population of the country were reduced to naught but shadows on scorched walls, with the few survivors escaping to extragalactic space. Many Elkeres great distances toward the [[Nocturne\|Nocturne System]], in particular the sun [[Dorok]]. The Providence Union followed them toward the system, causing it to butt heads with the [[Triumvirate Civilization]]. Although much of the Providence Union was willing to go to war with the Triumvirate, the great distances involved laid to rest that prospect. Instead, they offered a non-aggression and trade deal which the Triumvirate accepted. The Providence Union ~~maintained~~ a ~~presence~~ in the ~~Nocturne~~ ~~system~~ ~~for~~ ~~centuries~~.

Fearing how the Triumvirate would respond to mass military action on its borders, as well as the difficulty in controlling Dorok, the Providence Union allowed it to be independent.

	The Akradax Collective spent most of the period after the Sororbi Conflicts through the Dynasty Wars in a state of uneasy peace, always waiting to break out into full scale war, and accompanied by frequent border skirmishes and raids. After the dangerous Kessler Syndrome created near the resource-rich disputed rogue planet Ferrinai, the two nations agreed to a peace treaty to stop the pointless destruction.		The Akradax Collective spent most of the period after the Sororbi Conflicts through the Dynasty Wars in a state of uneasy peace, always waiting to break out into full scale war, and accompanied by frequent border skirmishes and raids. After the dangerous Kessler Syndrome created near the resource-rich disputed rogue planet Ferrinai, the two nations agreed to a peace treaty to stop the pointless destruction.

	Due to the Akradax Collective's complicated balance of factions and sects, large sections of the Collective had both the motive and means to flagrantly ignore this treaty, and in an effort to to stop it, the Taien Faction sent general Shogar on a lone mission to sabotage the summit, being held on the homeworld [[Erkamar]]. Shogar sent one of his underlings to the surface in an attempt to assassinate the Providence delegation, but he was caught by the quick thinking of a passerby who saw him enter a room above the conference hall carrying a bomb. This disastrous breach in security led the Providence Union to withdraw from negotiations entirely under the not entirely unfounded assumption that the Collective government wanted to assassinate them and was only coaxed back to the table after an agreement to hold the summit at a neutral location, ~~the~~ ~~rogue~~ dwarf ~~planet~~ of [[Vadria]].

	Shogar's ship, the ''Talon'', attempted to ambush the Providence Union delegation and its escorts on the way back to the border, decloaking from behind an asteroid near the fleet as they were cooling their fission drive. The attack lit up one of the ships in seconds, blasting it to pieces before the shields could charge. But with this lethal attack, the other ships were given a warning, and locked every weapon they had onto the ''Talon''. The ship was surrounded by a blaze of lasers and torpedoes, and a quick-thinking crewmember released the ''Talon'''s onboard atom bombs just before the torpedoes hit to deliver the impression that the craft was destroyed. They used the resulting pulse as a chance to escape.

Marakat completed building an independent military to hold back an invasion and officially declared independence in ~~48,237~~ CE. Saw-Yos followed suit in as did Mankala.

	The Providence Union was the last of the ancient Florathelian empires, succeeding [[Yanaris]] after its dissolution into the Warring States Era. It is considered by most historians to have begun after the end of the [[Peony Wars]] over the [[Heart of Providence]], at the time one of many squabbles over various strategic locations within Florathel. Its very long history is divided into several periods, the '''Unity of Peace''' (5,122 - 6,004 CE), the '''Revarean Dynasties''' (6,004 - 6,318 CE), the '''Nerax Dynasties''' (6,318 - 6,499 CE), and the '''Military Providence Union''' (6,499 - 7,300 CE).

	The once peaceful confederation, a union of several species after a period of thoroughly pointless war similar to the Providence Union itself, was thrown into the greatest war it had ever known, as its history was marked by peaceful relations with its neighbors. But with its neighbors towards the core gone, the Sororbi was on its own as the Providence Union sent wave after wave of attacks into its territory. The great battle at Palikari led to a loss of almost half the territory of the nation, but the Providence fleet stalled out less than five light-years before reaching Sororbus itself. Soon, however, the military managed to push back almost to the original borders under the command of Sekar Valakis, who drastically increased morale by fighting directly on the front lines alongside the soldiers.

	This string of great victories was ended when !Oraika of Nerax ~~kamikazed~~ his ship directly into Valakis' fleet, the detonation destroying all ships involved, killing Valakis, and earning !Oraika a spot in the history books for hundreds of thousands of years. After this, the Providence Union rapidly advanced across Sororbi territory, and [[Sororbus]] itself was reduced to a hellworld ruled by the runaway greenhouse effect after the war. The region was left completely uninhabited thereafter, with no one nearby able to send colonists and the surviving inhabitants becoming [[Salviks\|itinerant wanderers]] throughout Cosmoria.

	The stunning victory against the Sororbi Confederation represented the first real challenge the Providence Union had had since the Peony Wars, and marked the high point of all their history. While they technically got bigger than this, the Providence Union was never so unified or powerful.

With the signing of the Vadria Accords, the Providence Union and Akradax Collective officially ended any and all hostilities. Although groups like Shogar's Taien faction would continue raids into the Union's territory, these ceased to be officially sanctioned by the Akradax government.
