Plobda Union

The Plobda Union (Plobda, the Union, P.U., and Ploa) is a Modern class nation with the most diverse population in the galaxy, inhabiting nearly every sentient species. Plobda is the largest nation in the galaxy both by population 98 trillion, and land mass, 17,893 solar systems, and 6,964 habitable planets, all of which are colonized.

The Plobda Union is a conglomerate of more than 8,000 nations which agreed to comply with interstellar Ploan laws in return for military protection and technological advancement. Due to its assimilation the Union suffers from internal conflict, weak national unity, and a fragile economy due to technological inequalities.

History
(Uses Union Standard calendar) Current year: 7689

The Plobda Union has expanded via assimilation, opposed to colonization of which the majority of the galaxies nations engage in. The Plobda Union originated from the planet of Krwot, home world to the Balqari, of whom were the founding species of the Plobda Union. The Union was founded in 4160 as an agreement between the Ulo Gua (Nudaians) and the Reedan Jor Fondob (Balqari) in order to defend against the Dalmatians.

The Azilene War
Other than the Vexhima Demarchy, the Union is the only nation to attack the Azilene Empire. The war took place 1,000 years ago and lasted 140 years. The Azilene-Plobda war began after Plobda refused to dismantle its military and join the Azilene Empire during the Azilene Galactic Conquest. The Azilene war was the galaxies largest and deadliest war ever recorded. The Union lost vast territory, as hundreds of systems rebelled with Azilene support, crippling the Union.

The war ended after a cease fire was agreed upon once the death toll had reached half of the galaxies total population. Nearly two million warships had been destroyed over the course of the war and the Union suffered 300 trillion casualties, 280 of which were civilian. The war ended with a toll of more than 800 trillion deaths.

The Great Mistake
The Plobda Union attacked the Republic of Rootiga in 2410 in response to genocidal Rootigan attacks in the southern Arrani Quadrant. The Union launched an attack of 300,000 warships onto the Rootigan capital and homeworld Gezogvia. Another 100,000 were dispatched to destroy the Nishpan shipyards. The Plobdoans proved themselves to be overconfident and to have underestimated the military capacity of the Republic of Rootiga with the destruction of every Plobdoan ship.
