The Extra-Planetary Consortium of Humanity, simply known as EPCON-H or EPCON, is an organization established by the United Nations on the 23rd of May, 2177, which serves its predecessor's function to unite nations, however on an interstellar scale. In the wake of interstellar travel and the dawn of the space age, the UN decided that a new, larger governing body was necessary - thus, EPCON was formed, not only to unite nations throughout the stars, but to organize and govern large interstellar corporations and factions as well.
Alliance[]
The EPCON-H alliance is considered the universal human conglomerate. Although optional, being part of the alliance provides numerous benefits such as a universal currency, access to EPCON projects, and a guarantee of safety. Every member with a capable military or stable economy are obliged to come in the aid of other members when required, and EPCON's military enforces laws agreed upon by the alliance members. Permits and regulations are issued to ensure legality and equal opportunities.
Economy[]
To accommodate universal trade between all allied nations and factions, a new currency has been introduced to the market called 'Credits', officially abbreviated as UEC. This currency is similar in worth to the United States Dollar due to its popularity on Earth. EPCON is one of the most economically powerful factions, gathering funds from various large-scale projects and tax.
History[]
In 1939, World War II erupted, which was fought between the Allied and Axis Powers. In 1948, the Allies defeated the Axis. Months later, the victorious nations founded the United Nations, whose main objective was to settle international conflict peacefully, in an attempt to prevent future World Wars. This later served as the predecessor of the EPCON-H.
