Unity is the home ofa Rogue Planet - that is, a planet without a star - that circles the galactic core. Its only major settlement, [[Unity City]] andis the central planetadministration hub from which the [[Union]] is administrated.ered. ==== Recent History ==== Unity is a Rogue Planet - that is, awas discovered by chance some seventeen hundred years ago, being close to a central hyperspace hub of the [[Bozzy Spine]]. At the time, it was noted as an oddity in the log and named PQX-176-R. The planet without a star - that circles the galactic core. It was discovered by chancesettled in the next century as a supply base and trade center along the route, population growing to roughly half a million souls, but the planet was abandoned when the [[Times of Chaos]] threatened to cut it off from vital supplies and not looked at again until some seventeen hundred years ago. At the time, it was noted as an oddity in the log and named PQX-176-R and not looked at again, but some twotwo hundred years ago, when it was rediscovered in the archives. A small, independent science team set up on the planet and discovered that PQX-176-R though now dead and frozen, had once harbored life beforeand had in fact featured intelligent life at one point - it was flung out into space and evenis likely the original colony had some ruinmade similar discoveries, but those discoveries were lost in the Times of Chaos. The ancient civilization, now called the [[Milac]], predates the original settlers by at least several hundred thousand years. With the potential for much scientific discovery, scientists prepared a base for a larger combined expedition by several planets using the remnants of the early settlers as well as certain Milac ruins. During this expedition, tensions between two of the participating planets rose to a point where war seemed inevitable. In an ancient civilization around the northern pole. A combined scientificeffort to settle the matter peacefully, the expedition was launched by several nations to have a look at this world and see what effects such an event had had on the planet. During this expedition, tensions between two of the nations rose to a point where war seemed inevitable. In an effort to settle the matter peacefully, the expedition leaders wroteleaders wrote an open letter to their respective governments requesting they come to the then still mostly unnamed rogue to see what had been accomplished through cooperation. As it was neutral territory, both leaders visited the world and at this location a treaty was signed to resolve the issue peacefully. Afterwards, whenever issues arose between members of the expedition, they would meet on PQX-176-R and discuss the matter. Using the remnants of the ancient city as a jump start, new buildings were constructed to host these meetings and governments sent ambassadors to have a permanent presence on the planet, growing into [[Unity City]]. Almost half a century ago, the planet became the symbolic capital of the newly formed [[Union]] and was renamed Unity. Since the planet has no star, it is roughly similar everywhere. The planet has poles, but they are the same temperature as the equator. Its north pole points straight at the galactic center and will for at least another twenty-thousand years as it revolves around the galaxy.
