Government and Society
The New Federation is a federal state whose regional governments retain extensive autonomy. Local laws vary by region, and many citizens identify strongly with their provincial residence in addition to their Federation citizenship. This decentralization creates persistent regional-development disparities, historical grievances, and internal political fault lines. 127 241
Most citizens live at or above the galactic average standard of living. The Federation has the Milky Way's highest per-capita resources and consumption capacity, and its civilian technology exceeds that of the Sherman Empire despite its weaker military technology. 127
Its political influence rests heavily on its image as the leading democratic power: free trade, secure assets, and a stable currency were central to its reputation among allied states. Military defeats and visible reluctance to confront the Sherman Empire damaged confidence in that image, prompting capital and smaller member states to seek alternatives. 358
Information Network
The Federation manages its domestic network in separate regional zones under high-security protocols. This limits the movement of information between provinces and allows local authorities to contain unfavorable news or public-opinion campaigns before they spread nationally. 127 133 149
- During the Luofeng conflict, Federation-aligned platforms removed material unfavorable to the New Federation and banned millions of Luofeng accounts. 123
- Its Central Intelligence Agency operates primarily abroad, while internal intelligence is handled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a cross-regional police organization with comparatively weaker resources. 127
- The CIA has played a major role in foreign intelligence, propaganda, political influence, and covert operations. 241 455
Military
The Federation's military is technologically behind the Sherman Empire's forces, particularly in warship durability, fleet depth, and strategic heavy weapons. Its civilian and biochemical research sectors, however, are highly advanced. 127 372
| Asset / Capability | Known Details |
|---|---|
| Main fleets | During the Battle near the Anubis Star Domain, over 3,900 warships of 500 meters or more appeared in three waves; including smaller vessels, the Federation deployed over 10,000 ships. 273 |
| Mint City defense | The Federation fielded three major mobile fortresses around Mint City, measuring approximately 1,200, 1,800, and 2,600 kilometers in diameter. They lacked Warp Jump capability. 276 |
| Dreadnoughts | It deployed twelve “Deep Space Eye” Dreadnoughts during its later confrontation with the Imperial Expeditionary Force, including four preserved reserve vessels. 371 |
| Modified warriors | Modified soldiers can use mechanical spinal columns, auxiliary chips, exoskeleton armor, and four mechanically controlled arms equipped with individual weapons. 274 |
| Planetary defenses | The Federation possesses Stellar Cannon technology, but its cannons are fixed to Administrative Planets and can be bypassed by mobile fleets. 276 |
History
Operations in Luofeng
The New Federation covertly backed rebellion and political subversion within the Luofeng Empire. Its agents financed rebels, courted merchants and officials, corrupted military personnel, and planned decapitation strikes and terrorist attacks to weaken Luofeng's royal government. 60 64 114
Its hidden forces seized a medium-sized city on Luofeng's Fifth Administrative Planet, while agent leader Lulian shifted attention toward the capital and prepared attacks intended to relieve pressure on the rebellion. 64
The Federation later launched an overt assault on Planet Yilando. Its Seventh Expeditionary Fleet attacked the Luofeng Imperial Palace, including a direct strike on the old Emperor during a broadcast, while Federation media framed the campaign as counter-terrorism. 119 120 123
Following the failed campaign, the New Federation withdrew its fleet from Luofeng's outskirts but continued to pursue influence through agents, political contacts, and propaganda. 101 102
Insectoid Infestation Plan
The White Ghost exposed the Federation's plan to use Space Insectoids as biological weapons against the Sherman Empire. The Sherman Empire subsequently discovered insectoid eggs on two of its planets, confirming the core accusation. 148
The Federation publicly denied responsibility and attempted to discredit the White Ghost, but the discovery triggered the Battle of Aoxing and an Imperial declaration of war. 148 149
After the Empire reached Mint City and destroyed or captured key Federation fortresses, the Federation formally admitted that the Insectoid Infestation Plan existed. It attributed the project to extremist politicians and named deceased CIA Deputy Director Professor Pate and Dr. Naldo as principal scapegoats. 282 283
First Imperial Expedition
The Sherman Empire's expeditionary forces advanced into Federation territory, seized twelve Administrative Planets, raided transport routes, and used the occupied population as leverage to pressure the Federation into a decisive battle. 370 371
The New Federation assembled a major fleet and received support from the Guer Alliance and the United States of Freedom. The resulting battle at the Twelve Stars lasted sixteen days. The Federation lost over 8,960 ships, more than half of its main fleet, and was the first of the anti-Imperial powers to withdraw. 372 373 379
Afterward, the Sherman Empire occupied a further twenty-six Administrative Planets in the Federation's northern star domain and imposed a large-scale plunder operation. 379
Imperial Investigation of Mint City
Under continued Imperial pressure, the New Federation accepted an investigation team led by the White Ghost. Its public statement condemned Imperial coercion while agreeing to the investigation in the name of peace, freedom, and democracy. 387 389
The Federation allowed the Imperial team into Mint City, where the White Ghost sought access to the national patent archive and attempted to identify Councillor Allison as the Second Pioneer. 388 389 390
The investigation became a public-relations confrontation. Federation officials portrayed a sparring session between the White Ghost and Federation Modified warriors as a professional exchange, even as Imperial propaganda depicted it as a humiliation. 394 395
Later Wars and Political Decline
As the Sherman Empire destabilized, the Federation sought to exploit the weakening of its longtime rival while competing with the Guer Alliance and the United States of Freedom for influence over resistance groups and former Imperial vassals. 479 488
The Federation supported the Luofeng Alliance rhetorically against the Sherman Empire but remained cautious about committing its own forces. Its leadership explicitly favored maintaining local conflict and avoiding major losses unless other powers fully supported Luofeng. 508 516
After Luofeng defeated the Sherman Empire's Levi Fleet, the New Federation joined Luofeng, the Guer Alliance, and the United States of Freedom in a post-war conference, recognizing Luofeng's emergence as a major power. 523 533
Foreign Relations
- Sherman Empire — Principal military and ideological rival. The Federation fought multiple major conflicts with the Empire after the exposure of the Insectoid Infestation Plan. 149 370 379
- Luofeng Empire / Luofeng Alliance — Initially targeted through rebellion, espionage, and invasion; later became a regional rival whose rise threatened Federation influence among smaller states. 60 119 488 516
- United States of Freedom — Cooperated with the Federation against the Sherman Empire, including military-industrial support, but pursued its own interests and avoided unconditional commitment. 371 379
- Guer Alliance — Provided limited military support during the Imperial expedition and later competed with the Federation for influence over Luofeng and surrounding powers. 371 379 488
- New Federation-aligned states — The Federation maintains extensive political and economic blocs through alliance contributions, capital, and ideological influence, though these ties weakened after its military setbacks. 358
Intelligence and Covert Operations
- The Federation's CIA infiltrated Luofeng's military, royal factions, business circles, and rebel networks. 60 64 102
- Federation agents use compartmentalized assignments: individual operatives receive only limited instructions, while their combined actions form a wider intelligence network. 114
- The CIA was linked to the cultivation of the Free Chauvinists terrorist organization through retired Senior Agent “Nameless.” 455
- Federation agents conducted assassination and infiltration activities across foreign states, including operations targeting Yang Ming in the Guer Alliance. 488 489
- The Federation's intelligence capabilities remained one of its strongest assets even after repeated military and political setbacks. 488
Trivia
- The Federation's capital, Mint City, is described as the wealthiest Administrative Planet in the Milky Way Galaxy. 271 281
- Its warships are noted for their smooth, curved designs. 273
- Although it presents itself as a defender of freedom and democracy, its leaders repeatedly rely on regional information control, covert intervention, and propaganda campaigns to preserve political stability. 123 149 358
