The Imperial Union is a multi-government alliance between the Galactic Empire, Hapes Consortium, Mandalore, Trade Federation and Tion Hegemony.

The Union originally emerged out of the Imperial City-State Agreement signed by Emperor Vodo Bonias and King Jessy James of the Hapes Consortium. This treaty established a mutual-defense pact and economic exchange between the two states. It was the first such agreement between the Empire and another sovereign state, not to be confused with previous associations with the New Anzat Order or the 12 Colonies. The extreme success of the City-State Agreement attracted interest from Mandalore and the Trade Federation, and thus the Imperial Union was born. In Year 10, the Union added a fifth member government to its ranks, the Tion Hegemony.

Structure

The Union is directed by the Leaders' Council. This council is composed of the heads of each Union government and a chairman, elected by those heads of government. The Leaders' Council formulates and directs all major pan-Union policy, including the admission of new members, united declarations of war, and the formulation of joint projects.

The Union Economic Council encompasses the nationalized factions of the Union governments, along with independent conglomerates that have chosen to align themselves with Union policy. The Economic Council negotiates common pricing, resource sharing, and large-scale production projects of benefit to all Union members. The Council is headed by the leaders of each nationalized faction and conglomerate.
