UNCA

The UNCA is a branch of the UN that has control over many Human colonies near but not within Sol. Each colony is a technically independent nation and treated as such with a member in the UN Assembly but the degree to which plentary governors truly rule is questionable. The UNCA oversees all interplanetary trade and has control over most of the interstellar communication network, giving it more or less total control in economic matters.

History
The UNCA was founded not long after the invention of the Jump Drive. Prior to this technological marvel all colonization efforts had focused inside of Sol, on moons and rocky planets as well as orbital structures. These colonies were administered by whatever UN Member Nation had founded them, leading to conflicts of interest. Several wars had been fought in space, the bloodiest being the Jovian Conflict between European Ganymede and several Russian space colonies.

When the time finally came for Humanity to spread across the stars a decision was made not to endanger the fragile young outposts with war. The UNCA was created to oversee the construction of and eventually regulate trade and communication between the colonies. The system iwas not completely perfect but lasted nearly a century.

Eventually wars within the Sol system resulted in the unintentional destruction of several farm colonies over Venus. Massive starvation pressed the UNCA to demand an increase of farm output from the extra-solar colonies. Human rights violations soon followed. It was easy for the twelve billion people of the Sol system to force away the thoughts of other people's suffering so far away.

During the Colonial Rebellion Period various colonies succeeded from the UN. Earth states were helpless under their own laws to attack them, and so entered the Dark Century. During this time the UNCA was all but dissolved save for the Intelligence Department intended to monitor through jump probes the colonies.

After a stabilization at the end of the Dark Century a massive fleet was assembled to re-conquer the colonies and after its success the UNCA was slowly reinstated. It took a rather long time to fully acclimate the colonies, especially because of their contact with the Kial Sale

Demographics
The ethnic majority in the UNCA is actually not even Human, it is the Musrim Clan of the Kial, with some 23 billion, compared to the just over 2 billion humans. Among Humans however, there is still no majority group. Many races live in space, hailing from every continent of Earth and a majority of these colonists speak muliple languages.
