Since its discovery in 2851, the Stanton solar system developed into a thriving center for trade, commerce, and scientific exploration. Stanton had a large number of habitable, privately owned planets, each with its own culture, resources, and inhabitants. However, with the growth of interstellar travel and the spread of human settlements came a new threat: piracy.

Piracy became a widespread problem in the Stanton Solar System, threatening the stability and prosperity of the planets and their inhabitants. Pirate gangs driven by greed and lawlessness plundered trade routes, attacked cargo ships, and extorted money from planetary governments. The need for a united front against this threat became apparent.

The planet’s own security forces were not up to the task, already struggling with increasing crime on their own planets.
Some influential figures within the Stanton System decided in 2893 to do something about this systematic pirate exploitation.
They got together to find a way to combat the pirates and the increased crime and stop it from spreading further.

After weeks of deliberation, the so-called Senators forged a historic agreement – the Confederation of Independent Planets (CIP). The Confederation of Independent Planets (CIP) was founded on the principles of mutual cooperation, collective defense, and the common goal of eradicating piracy in the Stanton Solar System. Each planet would retain its sovereignty, culture, and individual system of government, but in the face of piracy they would stand together as a united front. The planets MicroTech and Crusader joined the Confederation at its inception, Hursten and ArcCorp were not accepted into the alliance after further negotiations because they refused to adjust their working and living conditions to the new standards.
To accomplish its mission, the CIP established the Interplanetary Security Council (ISC), a central body responsible for coordinating and implementing anti-piracy measures. The ISC brought together military strategists, intelligence experts, and diplomats from each planet and corporation to develop a comprehensive plan. They developed strategies to monitor trade routes, establish security outposts, and gather intelligence on pirate activity throughout the system.

The CIP worked closely with the military and law enforcement agencies of the associated individual planets to establish a robust interplanetary defense network. Advanced technologies, including state-of-the-art starships, powerful energy weapons, and advanced surveillance systems, were used to defeat pirate fleets and protect innocent people and valuable resources.

The CIP faced numerous challenges along the way. The pirate factions fought back fiercely, adapting their tactics and becoming more sophisticated. However, the combined efforts of the CIP planets proved resilient. Over time, they developed strategic alliances, shared information networks, and innovative methods to combat piracy. By pooling their resources, knowledge, and experience, they successfully pushed back the pirate infestation and made the Stanton Solar System a safer place for trade and exploration.

Right now, the CIP and its allies are gathering their fleets to get to the root of piracy. We will launch an expedition to the Pyro system, because according to current reconnaissance results the active base of operations of the pirates can be found there…
