=Origin of the Commonwealth of Orion=
The United Nations was the precursor to the Commonwealth of Orion.. In response to the formation of the United Soviet Republic, and their leaving of the United Nations in 2056, the UN centralized into the Commonwealth. This led to the beginning of what Space Historians dubbed: the Second Cold War. After the USR’s defeat in 2345 during the Great Systems War, the Commonwealth was the sole dominant known power. They used that power to continually expand, discover, and conquer new systems based on Bluespace Jump-Drive technology.

* 2520- The Syndicate is founded in opposition to Nanotrasen’s dominance in funding the Commonwealth's subjugation of the seceding systems. This begins the Company Cold War. From this point on, the Commonwealth is in a state of trying to ensure the companies do not fight overtly or harm anyone who has not sold their soul.

* 2555- Nanotrasen is permitted to build a Space Station above Lavaland sparking intense backlash from the Syndicate. Nanotrassen got this permission due to massive bribes to many Commonwealth officials. Neutral Commonwealth officials quickly start attempts to allow the Syndicate their own space station but are slowed by NT bribed officials.
