The Uplifted Federation

Formed after the events of the Hymn of Pangea, during the time of the Purification Act, the Uplifted Federation is a collection of several races of FERA (nuahel) that officially rejected the Awakened Empire to become its own independent sovereignty. Led by a Council of Elders on the planet of Ragnor, the Federation proved able enough to defend its borders against the Adamantine Arrow's Navy.

History
The Uplifted Federation sprung up soon after the Ascension war. Its roots began through the combined efforts of Urathra and Anari, both parties perceiving the Imperials as a potential threat to their survival. In response, the two FERA agreed to form a centralized organisation focused on controlling their given populations.

Utilizing what resources they could acquire, the two races managed to convince the Bastet to aid in the construction of what would later be called the Uplifted Federation. The Silver Ladder objected but eventually relented with the conditions that the Voedon be induced into the Federation; reluctantly they agreed and the First conclave was heard and the constitution was Ironed out. The official site for the Federation is located on the planet Ragnor, where the treaty allowing FERA citizenship was signed at the End of the Ascension war. The first FERA who created the Federation are known as the High FERA and are often given more power and responsibility in the Galactic Imperium. The other FERA managed to join in time but collectively became know as the Lower FERA. All in all there are 7 Major FERA races that constitute the majority of the Federation; Urathra, Bastet, Voedon, Anari, Unagi, Cithari, Belishu

There are many more smaller Races in the federation but their numbers are small enough that they rarely leave seed worlds or have the ability to make major decisions.

Government
Although each of the Fera have their own traditions and are considered separate, they are united by the Council of Elders, who act as the ruling body over internal conflicts between fera, and external affairs from the other galactic nations. Not all nuahel are given seats on the council, however. This is in part due to a council race's need to support both itself and the Federation as a whole.
