Year 4030
After some sort of cataclysmic event forgotten in time, Humans are forced from Earth on board sleeper ships to colonize new sectors throughout the Galaxy, after a thousand years, these colonies develop into interplanetary governments inside their sectors. However, some explorers find a construct in space and after some fiddling with the thing, it activates, suddenly, these gates are being found activated throughout the Galaxy, they are each able to connect with a region known as "void space" and are large enough for massive ships and small fleets to pass through at once. Surprisingly, all the gates seem to be inside of sectors where the human species has settled, which creates a new age where, for the first time, they are able to communicate again, but they have grown apart, there are dictatorships, democracies, and various other types of governments, it seems as though they all have very little in common any longer.
These are the Wayward Empires...
A gate to Sol is located but the planet has since turned into nothing more than a dusty desert, void of all life. The various groups decide to declare this a neutral zone where no nation will fire upon another under any circumstances, they establish a starbase, known as Starbase Zero, here where they can all come together and have representatives speak on their behalf. A news agency crops up at SZ who is able to transmit their signal to every planet that is connected by a void gate, though they are not telling how this is possible and their rights are protected as they hold their base of operations in Sol. Pilgrims set up the starbase as their home and soon a coalition government known as the Sol Federation sets themselves up in SZ, they declare that Sol is a place of peace and that they will take a neutral stance on all activities, though military vessels in the sector will be destroyed.
Their military might, born of a thousand world's pilgrims, goes unchallenged in Sol, and so it becomes a true safe haven for government representatives from throughout the Galaxy to simply come discuss matters...
