AFed-UNIT

AFed-UNIT was a now-dissolved independent state headquartered on Houston-7, founded sometime in the years following the Battle of Aetherius. The state was formed by an elite military company under the servitude of the Makosian Order, known as the Makosian UNITs, in conjunction with prominent anti-Federation activist group AFed. At some point in the mid-3010s, a treaty was signed by the two parties to become a conjoined nation. Initially a vassal of the Makosian Order and, by extension, Emperor Puyi, AFed-UNIT was granted independence in 3021 following the Yellow Triumvirate's victory over the Federation in the Battle of Puyi City. Relatively quickly, the nation began to crumble as it attempted to function without support from the Makosians and the empire. Starvation and pestilence ensued, and by 3025, 2/3 of the population of Houston-7 and the AFed-UNIT military had fled the system or died by some manner. This event came to be known as the Two-Thirds Crisis. That same year, High Governor Al-Crutonzo was reported dead by an apparent suicide. With military force dwindling and failure to elect a leader in Crutonzo's place, Houston-7 became a lawless cesspool and AFed-UNIT practically ceased to exist by early 3026.
