Overview:
The Undant Confederation was the earliest known form of unified Planetary Government. It was founded in galactic year 1025 by the Phoraxians to unite their myriad colonies which had become scattered after the fracturing. Expansionist in zeal, the Phoraxian eventually absorbed the Vakir and Ciubak into their confederation, whether it was amicably, for the Vakir, or by force, in the Ciubak's case. The reason for their constant drive for expansion is twofold. First, they are looking for a planet that is similar to their ravaged homeworld of Phorax V. Second, they do not want any other sentient race to make the same mistake that they did, so the Phoraxians are willing to take control of other species' planets and at the same time provide "protection"

Brief History:
After the Fracturing, the once proud Phoraxian empire had fallen into barbarism. Without the uniting government of Phorax V, the rest of the Phoraxian colonies fell into disrepair and gradually stopped communicating with each other. The remnants of the populace of Phorax V had fled into the space stations that ringed the planet. The Phoraxian leaders tried to reorganize their shattered government, but the overcrowding, lack of food and water, and mutations that had appeared in their populace. It wasn't until 60 years later, when one the then leader, Javek Thurden, sent out parties to each of the other former colonies. A few were willing to join up, while others required a little more persuasion. Soon Thurden the Phoraxian empire was once again in communication and trade, under the new banner of the Undant Federation.

The Phoraxians had no way of traveling outside the Undant System. At least not until the arrival of a Ciubak Garden Ship. The Phoraxians easily overpowered the defenceless vessel, and quickly recruited the Ciubak engineers aboard to teach them the creation and instillation of Jaunt drives. From there the Phoraxians were able to travel to other systems, and systematically grow their territory. They absorbed any planet they came in contact with, and recruited any sentient species into their growing confederation, such as the Vakir and other Ciubak vessels. They faced no real threat until they came into contact with the Kurak race in a chance encounter in a distant system. The Phoraxian quickly raided and destroyed a Kurak colony, and used the information they stole from it to attack other colonies as well. This forced the Kurak to join with the other races to form the Assembly of Free Systems. From then a long term war broke out, with both sides fleets clashing across the galaxy, with the Phoraxians gradually gaining more and more territory. This went on until a truce was called in galactic year 1064. It wasn't until the arrival and subsequent of humanity in 1114 did the war truly start up again.
