Brief History: When the Autocrats won, as they call it, the Great Patriotic Civil War, the remaining Conservatives evacuated their planet and fled many light years away. They set up colonies and named themselves the True Socialist State of Free Planets. They condemned the Autocrats and consider the SSFP as a corrupt nation. They joined the Galactic Conclave and lobbied for an allied force to go out and liberate the citizens of the SSFP from a totalitarian rule. The Conclave have constantly denied requests for two main reasons. The first is that they do not want to risk losing a large portion of their combined military might due to the constant threat of invasion from the Imperium of Savas. The second is that whilst they remain suspicious of the SSFP and its recent military and industrial reforms, the SSFP has not actually partaken in any hostile actions against the Conclave. This has placed the TSSFP in a difficult position as they are not a powerful nation in any military sense and would make them the first target of military occupation by the SSFP...
