"A symbol of unity for all the live in the core, the brightest object in the entire galaxy... Ironic considering it is a black hole, but brightest nonetheless. In the night sky of all planets privileged to be under the control of our nation, and in many of their skies during the day, its brilliance shows through.

Sagittarium was a semi-fascist junta state occupying the majority of the re of the Milky Way. It was the first modern nation to colonize Sagittarius A*, the central black hole of the Milky Way, hence its name. The nation was founded in 20567 CE by Klein Vay as a means to reinstate order to the then chaotic Milky Way Galaxy. In its crusade for order, the state became totalitarian, regularly reeducating and quite often times killing dissenters. The relative freedom enjoyed by those of the former LaC was widely terminated by the government in favor of radical devotion to the government. Long-illegal psychological manipulation attempts were liberally employed by the state to convince quintillions to follow the state without question.
The idea of "Cultural Hegemony" was widely promoted by the government. It had taken on more than just a cultural meaning, however. The majority of the nation was human. Diversity was looked down upon due to the common misconception that the blame for the split rested solely on the shoulders of nonhumans, while the humans were victim to their greed for more power in the government. This way of thinking, originally popularized by The Neo-Terrans caused the nation to destroy the one civilization in the core, the Unir.
The nation fell in 21833 to the newly founded Confederacy of Borealis. The reason for the invasion was partly to free the people from the brainwashing they had undergone, but also to access the incredibly valuable Sagittarius A*. The Sagittarius Space Station, capital of the nation was captured in early 21805, with the rest of the invasion being the slow conquest of radical holdouts. When Vay himself was captured in 21833, the radicals lost what they were fighting for and mostly surrendered. The destruction of this nation marks the end of the Split of the Lactean Confederacy.
Background
Before the formation of Sagittarium, the core of the Milky Way was largely empty. The distance to the core was too great for most civilizations to reach it. They planned to wait for FTL technology to advance to the point of allowing easier travel to the area. As it stood, it took several hundred years to get to the area, and the large amount of gravity in the area inhibited the relatively primitive wormholes of the time.
The area, just like the rest of the galaxy, was claimed by many nations at once. Even as colonies formed on the edges of the galactic core, they very slowly worked their way into it due to the large travel times.
History
Organization
With the collapse of the LaC came a power vacuum within the galaxy. Nature abhors a vacuum and the former remains of the LaC soon filled with hundreds of thousands of nations, fiefs, and organizations vying to shape the galaxy into their own image.
