People's Republic of New Aegyn

The People's Republic of New Aegyn is a power residing in the Zalanthium Galaxy, based off the world of New Aegyn. It was created by a human crime lord escaping from Aegyn, and fleeing to the Zalanthium Galaxy, were he and his followers settled a unexplored habitable planet, which they named 'New Aegyn.' Since their founding, the nation has mellowed and now accepts aliens as an inevitable fact of existence, rather than a scourge to be wiped out of the universe.

History

The Wandering Years

The PRNA began as a criminal organisation residing in the lowest levels of Aegyn. They were powerful, but not the most powerful, and so fled to richer hunting grounds. They hijacked a war drive equipped ship, and began the hundred year treck to the Zalanthium Galaxy.

During the journey, the flag, the planet and the ethics of the new planned nation were chosen. If things had been different on that ship, the entire politics of the Zalanthium Coalition and the galaxy would be different. As they drew closer to New Aegyn, the emotions of the ship ran high, until it culminated in a mutiny, killing the captain and the subtle shift of the ethics of the new-found nation to Xenophobism, instead of indifference.

Planetfall

They landed on a uncharted and unexplored planet in the Mixel Arm of the Zalanthium Galaxy. They began to build infrastructure, but many scuffles and arguments erupted on how to run the new nation. The most major of these was the Mellowing of the Republic, which saw the ethics of the nation at the time shift to toleration of aliens, instead of xenophobism.

Building a Nation

For ten thousand years, the population grew and grew until there was no more room on New Aegyn for people. It had already been converted into a ecumenopolis, and many layers had been excavated and new filled with buildings. In a way, the entire world was a series of concentric shells upon each other. The government then colonised the other planet in their lonely system, but that too was not enough. They needed the stars.

Through a series of well organised and executed plans, the fledgling nation took control of the systems surrounding their star. None of these included habitable planets, but it expanded their recourses and influence tenfold. They then proceeded to industrialise their new-found systems to the point of no return.

Arrival on the Cosmic Scene

With the advent of their first dyson swarm, later turned into a full dyson sphere, the other Zalanthium Galaxy nations started to take notice of this tiny but economically powerhouse nation. They treated it like no other - invitations to join the Zalanthium Coalition and kindness. The PRNA would have none of this. They declared themselves independent, in the following message:

"The People's Republic of New Aegyn is a sovereign state, governing itself and keeping to itself. All foreign parties that interfere with our internal businesses will be imprisoned and tried for attempting to sabotage our development and production. If all alien parties leave us alone, we will gladly leave everyone else alone.''

After this, the Zalanthium Coalition gave them wide berth, and looked away. This, ironically, helped the PRNA as they could use subterfuge to gain control of hundreds of thousands of previously Zalanthium Coalition systems. All aliens that they encountered were either killed or enslaved. Through this method, the grew to control a third of the Mixel Arm.
