Commonwealth of Independent Systems

The Commonwealth of Independent systems as an idea first came to life in 2400, following the disappointment the governments of several worlds had when they were unable to get help from Starfleet or the Federation after the Federation Civil War several months before. In secrecy, the governors of fourteen worlds met on a neutral planet and charted the Articles of Secession that were officially made public the following day and the fourteen worlds declared secession from the Federation, severing all ties they had before. A few weeks later, mainly on December 21st governors of eighteen more worlds met with the Secessionist and together they charted the document that soon became the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Independent Systems. On December 26th the document was made published and the thirty-two worlds that seceded “officially” found the Commonwealth that soon became a power to be reckoned with.
