===The Vulpis Confederacy===
Before the Long Night, the Vulpis Confederacy was a loosely tied organisation of planets and systems filling a moderately-sized subsector. Its members were considered some of the jewels of humanity, with geoengineered surfaces and habitats designed to be ideal grounds for any human to live. They were widely considered bastions of science and technology. Each planet housed millions of laboratories and research facilities. The Asteroids and habitable moons throughout were themselves converted to massive testing grounds. The people lived and died in the pursuit of knowledge and furthering mankind's advancement.

The Confederacy itself was an extremely loose government. Each planet was left largely alone, as were the nations inside of them. The population was lax and peaceful, generally spending more time and effort discovering new ideas than going to war. Essentially the Confederacy was only there to protect interstellar trade and speak in the best interests of the planets within to outsiders. It was not much of a government, but it worked for the peoples involved.

At the heart of it all was the planet Vulpis. Boasting one of the lowest populations of the Confederacy, it was named for its' central location rather than any truly diplomatic reasons. With the idea of creating a seat of government, the ideal planet in the central system's habitable zone was terraformed to the extreme. The end result was a beautiful marble of a planet. Pristine seas gave way to endless rolling hills of the purest green. Cliffs and mountains were carefully engineered to wondrous designs so as to be appealing to the eye. Its' buildings were either low and minimalist on the exterior, so as not to spoil the sights of the planet, or massive towering feats of architecture and engineering. Even the cattle ranches and crop areas were designed to be aesthetically pleasing. The people of the Confederacy as a whole were content and lived out their lives in blissful comfort.
