====== The Slice ======


{{::the_slice_map_1.png?600|}}

Mankind has been expanding into the galaxy for uncounted centuries, and it first it was under the unifying governance of the [[UWA|United World Alliance]].   However, that government grew to be inefficient and unwieldy due to both its size and its ossifying bureaucratic structure.    Several centuries ago, a civil war erupted, splintering the UWA into a plethora of smaller states.

This campaign is set in one such state, known as the [[UGH|Union of Galactic Humanity (U.G.H.)]] which reaches from a set of ancient, wealthy Core Planets to the Frontier of known space.  Because of its wedge-like shape, it is colloquially known as 'The Slice."  It is bordered by 2 very similar polities - [[GUH|The Galactic Union of Humanity]] (G.U.H.), and [[HUG|The Human Union for the Galaxy]] (H.U.G.).  All three states have almost identical government and economic structures, based on the bureaucratic ideals of the UWA.
