The Aquian League is an interstellar governing body made up of the Terra Nova Empire, Nebulan Star Empire, and Graedian Confederacy. The name is derived from the planet on which the Second League Conference convened and formalized the organization of the union, and the charter that would guide it. However, it should be noted that the original charter, drafted months before at Mileos after the Durson War, was done so by an entirely different group of individuals: Targis Bulloc, Cabal Raegen, and Dean Astyr are credited in some circles as the true founding fathers of the League. The League has largely sought to maintain order among the major powers, establish a uniform code of human rights within member states, formalize borders, control colonization of the northern Fringe, and improve galactic commerce.

Some consider the League’s grip on galactic order to be tenuous at best, due to ancient feuds, conflicting social psychologies, and the event leading to the League’s founding – the Durson War.

Simply put, the Nebulan Empire is often seen in a dim light. It has achieved nominal control of the eastern galaxy through force of arms and is buried in reports of atrocities, particularly the documented cases against the Elan tribes. Terra Nova and Nebulus have had a long-standing grudge against each other, which has sometimes heated into armed rivalry. This very nearly led to full-scale war between them during the Durson War. Another source of enmity comes from factions within the Graedian Confederacy, particularly the ruling Squire Clan; few Graedians have forgotten hundreds of years of Nebulan occupation, and the ruthlessness with which it was enforced.

These reasons have made many question both the stability of the League and the motivations behind its founding. With the coming of the Metron conflict, some foresee the League maintaining itself. Others feel that factional strife and internal unrest are inevitable.
