• Fled the solar system on 'slow' FTL cold sleep ships after one final great conflict between the various military/social/economic blocs, these divisions are preserved in the Sundala Starzone along cultural and economic lines.
  • The cataclysm occurred in 2252 A.D. with the major exodus from the solar system occuring in 2280 A.D.
• Mostly composed of baseline humans though cybernetics and genetic modifications do provide some cyborgs and humans more specialized for living in the environment of space.

• The major counter balance to the Sanujab and their expansionist/space control policies.
• The starting point for humanity in the Sundala Starzone.
• Somewhat fragmented with several different powers under a common federal assistance treaty oriented toward providing a united front against a possible second 'hot' war with the Sanujab. (EU/NATO sort of setup? Or perhaps a version of the United States with a less powerful federal government?)
• Controls slightly less than half of the Starzone with most of its territories oriented up spin in the direction of the Solar System.
• Humans derived from the first major solar exodus are not the sole source of humans as other migrations could have occurred but need to be discussed.

• Outer splinter colonies established after the initial colonization of CONFED territory that split off after paying their initial colonization dues rather than joining the federal CONFED structure. These remain under human control post first contact with the Sanujab and remain as a political buffer against Sanujab controlled or aligned colonial entities further down spin from CONFED held systems.
• Composed of lower population colonies marked with less development with most industry either concentrated in the initial planetary settlements or almost exclusively space based with most human surface establishments oriented around agriculture.
