The Commonwealth of Orion is technically a democratic republic, with each system having a say in the direction of the nation. However, this is rarely the case. The Senate has grown too large to pass many actions, leading to the majority of the power resting on the President of the Commonwealth. The President leads for five years at a time and passes most orders through executive action. However, each president for the last 300 years has been under the thumb of a secretive shadow cabal, who manipulates every president through threats, family hostages, and bribes. This cabal consists primarily of rich political elites from Earth. Little is known of this cabal, other than that the NT and Syndicate both have sway in their efforts. | The Commonwealth of Orion is technically a democratic republic, with each system having a say in the direction of the nation.

=Notable Planets of the Commonwealth= | |||
==Earth== | |||
Earth is the old capital of the Commonwealth of Orion, located in the system of Sol. During the Great Systems War, the capital was moved to the more strategic and central location of Orion Prime. In the modern day, Earth serves as one of the largest population and cultural centers of the commonwealth. Though the beauty Earth once knew is mostly gone, limited to a few National Nature Preserves. Earth is still seen as the great home of all humans. Many people of the commonwealth, will take at least one trip to Earth in their lifetimes. | |||
==Orion Prime== | |||
Orion Prime is the modern capital of the Commonwealth of Orion, located in the system of Betelgeuse. The planet of Orion Prime is renowned across the Commonwealth for being the home of the main bureaucratic centers for the Commonwealth. Along with this, Orion Prime was one of the first planets colonized by Human colonists in 2022. Orion Prime was a warm world with vast oceans and large archipelagos, affectionately called the planet of 10,000 Islands. In the current day, many of these oceans have been drained, and the world houses a population of sixty billion. This planet is one of the most important across Commonwealth space. | |||
==New America== | |||
New America is the shipbuilding building capital of the Commonwealth. The drydocks and shipyards at New America are unmatched across the galaxy. Located in the system of Alpha Centauri, New America was the first planet settled by the old United States of America. New America was originally a mining world, rich in ore. These ores are all gone now, with New America transforming itself into a shipbuilding world. A unique aspect of this world is its ring. An orbital Elysium surrounds this moonless world, and it is nearly all dedicated to shipbuilding for the Commonwealth. The company owning all these shipyards is the National Commonwealth Shipbuilding Firm. The National Commonwealth Shipbuilding Firm is a nationalized company, independent from Syndicate or Nanotrasen influence. In the modern day, New America is a vastly populated planet, full of warehouses, shipyards, and ore refinement factories. | |||

The Commonwealth is a nation of constant expansion, believing in the ideas of human superiority. Currently, they are at their largest on paper, consisting of 2,342 systems and many more worlds. However, approximately 200 worlds are in revolt, and corruption is rampant in the outskirts of human colonized space. The Syndicate and Nanotrasen are both keys to the Commonwealth’s success, due to funding various necessities of normal citizens' lives, and the Commonwealth industry. The Commonwealth of Orion are doing their best to keep the Syndicate and Nanotrasen appeased in these trying times. | The Commonwealth is a nation of constant expansion, believing in the ideas of human superiority.
