Sirius

Sirius was once a democratic world government that send Humanity to the stars. Due to increased tension, the system slowly switched to an authoritarian regime. This move would prove the downfall of the original government. They would resurface as complete military state in V.N.E 21 and begin causing dissonance.

Administrative Role
Unlike the other political factions Sirius is not part of the Unity Pact. However they will play fairly when in Hub United territory. Being excluded from the Unity Pact Sirius’ motives appear to be focused on absolute power.

Pre V.N.E
After the Earth’s pollution and scarring were deemed irreversible in Pre V.N.E 90 the many government bodies banded together to form a unified party that would place the well being of humanity and its future above all else; Sirius was born under these conditions. Under the leadership of Sirius development of  long lasting space equipment was underway. Despite Sirius’ best effort there small rebel groups who wanted to stay on Earth. In response to the rebel uprising the S.S.E was established and acted as a military police.

The first ships deemed space worthy were completed and were launched into space in Pre V.N.E 70. As a side development the primitive mobile workers of this time were also being improved and adapted for use in space and were also launched into space. By Pre V.N.E 65 there were many ships exploring space, many of the ships were Sirius controlled to act as off world law keepers. It was during this time that unregistered ships would being appearing claiming that space is a lawless place. The appearance of space pirates worried both Sirius’ leaders and the people of Earth. By V.N.E 60 the response to continuous pirate attacks was a full on military intervention by the S.S.E and their new mobile suits.

20 years later. Sirius finally being guiding colonist ships towards space in a large scale force. Thankfully to the continued development of weaponry the S.S.E was able to protect the Colonists to parts unknown. However back on Earth the a branch of Sirius began purging those who were left behind, this going unnoticed by those already in space.

A few years later in Pre V.N.E 38 news of the Earth genocide reached the colonists who were understandably upset and were beginning to question the current leadership. Fortunately after another election year the leader of Sirius were replaced and as collective effort Sirius funded a colonization project starting with the conversion of large asteroid into a space station. This short time of peace was short lived as by Pre V.N.E 36 however, a mole within Sirius began leaking information of plans of never returning to Earth and converting the current government system into authoritarian regime that would rule over its people. Along with a new wave of pirate raids faith in Sirius was wavering.

Even with the decline of supporters Sirius was able to continue the Colonization project. Starting with the moon. Luno was the first colony to be completed. Interestingly, during its construction a mysterious mobile suit was discovered and taken to a mobile suit development lab.

The Velvet Lady
While constructing the colony of Luno, Sirius worker discovered a large mobile suit resembling a lady. It was brought to an offsite research facility where it was partly repaired and weaponized as it was theorized that this mobile suit would be the key to gaining ultimate control. However Sirius mechanics were unable to open the cockpit as was stowed away in a hanger and forgotten. A Cerberus spy rediscovered the suit and requested it acquisition via use of force. A Pre V.N.E Cerberus team would arrive stealing the Velvet Lady for their own research.

Somehow with the decrease of supporters Sirius was still able to assist in colonizing various planets and asteroids. However the control was stretching thin as Sirius was taking on too many tasks at once. The continual raids from pirates was wearing the S.S.E thin as they were also trying to keep the peace within the colonies. To add to the list of Sirius’ problems independent armed forces began appearing to protect the colonies

Pre V.N.E 30 saw the steep decline of supporters for Sirius as a poor power move they tried annexing the recently completed Hub space station. This however began causing internal problems within Sirius as colony supporters were trying to appeal to the people. By Pre V.N.E 29 Sirius was finally opposed by everyone. In a last ditch effort the current leader of Sirius began a large scale military intervention. A civil war would follow.

Worn out, Sirius relinquishes control of most of its assets and by Pre V.N.E 10 slowly fades out. Their loyalist immigrated to Luno.

V.N.E
Being ignored for so long the remnants of Sirius would recuperate over many years. Luno Sirius’ sole colony would expand claiming most of the moon under an authoritarian regime. They usually operated under the guise of space pirates to push an unknown agenda.

They would make their grand reappearance in V.N.E 21. Due to this sudden appearance old wounds would open and loyalists from all over would commence attacks within the other colonies causing the Inter Colony Conflict. Despite showing hostilities, Hub United accepts Sirius personnel with the The Hub for all manners of conduct as long as they follow the laws of the the station during their stay.

Sirius’ involvement in the current political landscape would continue with motives unknown.
