Wassingtowne Union

The Wassingtowne Union is a constitutional republic founded by, and primarily populated by, the Quenos of planet Mer'ka.

There was once a myriad of small Quenos states, each with their own conflicts and politics, all striving to be different and dominant. And then, as they tell it, a man rose to prominence. A man with tremendous charisma and even greater ideas. A man who united them all under one banner, not through violence or coercion, but with diplomacy. A man who made all Quenos equal in value, and who gave all ideas a chance to be heard, organizing their civilization into a constitutional republic. A man who, at his height, was suddenly and brutally killed, and act which was meant to remove him from the conversations of the time but which only succeeded in making him – and his ideas – immortal, living on forever in the hearts and mind of his people.

In short order, the unified Quenos strove for ever-greater achievements, including spaceflight and FTL. They hoped to spread the peace and unity that their exalted leader had given them, and when they were beaten by the YE and the TAWN, they held firm to the ideals of their leader, and weathered the torment as a united people. When freedom came, they were eager to help restore stability and peace to the galaxy, even helping to found the GN. They do this all with their great leader in their hearts, a man who united them all and who is still revered hundreds of years after his death.

A man named Lincoln Wassingtowne.
