UBW

I have reworked the info on the UBW: Gawain System history: The Gawain system
(colonized in 2140 by a NAC sponsored group) is a relatively wealthy system.
It has a gas giant that has a
fuel-processing
center, two asteroid belts that are rich in minerals, and Gawain II, a major
agricultural center. This system would have gone unnotested by historians if
it was not for the Kra'Vak invasion. This invasion sucked many of the police
ships that patrolled the outback area of the NAC this lead to pirates and
other colonies raiding the system. Apauled by the lack of NAC involvement and
unwillingness to defend the colonies agents piracy Space Marshall Devin
Marshall resigned his commission. With the help of Gawainian companies raised
a militia to defend the shipping and declared Gawain's independence in protest
of the NACs lack of care for its citizens. NAC HQ soon found out about
Gawain's independence and started a blockade of the system. This prevented the
agricultural exports and fuel exports that had helped other star systems in
the region survive the "tax" that the NAC had imposed on the region. In
protest over the NACs blockade of the system with ships that had been
unavailable to act in a policing manner but were available to blockade a
wayward system and Gawains promise to trade with any colonies that supported
it during its time of need. Three colonies responded to Gawain's call, only
one of them was NAC, the colony of Trafalgar, the FSE colony of New Dumas and
the ESU colony of New Kiev also responded there call fir help. The four
colonies that help the Gawain maintain its independence formalized their
alliance on 30 December 2184 with the Gawain accords, the accords are also the
constitution of the Union of Border Worlds. NAC and ESU have not formally
accepted the independence of the Union or Border Worlds (also known as the
Gawain alliance) but the FSE has it is also the only other major power that is
trading with the UBW. In the region that the UBW occupies there are no
pirates, in fact sense the signing of the Gawain accords two pirate bases have
been destroyed. There is talk among naboring star systems about joining the
UBW after they have seen how much better the UBW cares for its people.

Gawain system physical description: The Gawain system is based around a AIV4.
At six light minutes there is a rich asteroid belt that has an deep space
mining base, based on one of the asteroids is a small ship yards that was
constructed after the forming of the union. It can produce ships up to 200,000
tons. The colony of Gawain is located 10 light minutes from the primary. The
planet has a advanced ecosystem, the most advanced life form is amphibians,
one of the interesting things to note is that the DNA of the amphibians
matches the DNA of amphibians of three other planets. The planet its self has
40% of is surface covered by water, the temperature at the equator has an
average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. The colony of Gawain is located in
the Northern Hemisphere, were the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. The
15,000 km diameter, 1 gee, planet is orbited by a habitable moon and a small
orbital base. In the outer system is a gas giant that has 13 moons and 8
rings. This gas giant has a large fuel processing system. At 22 light minutes
is the last object in the Gawain system, an asteroid belt. Various companies
are mining this belt. Union or Border Worlds military: The UBW fleet is
composed of ships from various nations. The flagship of the
fleet is the UBW Independence, an ex-ESU fleet carrier.  Ship ships
bought from the NSL and FSE governments, among others, though intermediaries
support it.

Union or Border Worlds Government: The government of the UBW is simple, there
is a president, a
vice- president
and a parliament, which has members from all of the member systems, each
nation has a number of seats equal to its population divided by one hundred
million. Unlike most nations were officers of the state pledge an oath to the
state the officers of the Union or Border Worlds pledges there allegiance to
the people of the UBW.

Any comments or questions would be apreshated. Sorry for the long post.
