==History==
The Morobe system was colonised in mid-[[Year 14]] by an independent group of military professionals in a coalition with [[Damorian Manufacturing Corporation]]. The group to discover the system created [[Sienar Fleet Systems]] a few weeks later to secure their claim over the planets and to develop a ship manufacturing business to operate from Morobe. This cemented the colonisation of Morobe a success and allowed the owners to not only increase their profit margins, but to raise the standard of living for the colonists.
+
The chronicle of One Nation is a parallel history of two systems, Morobe and Vorsia, and of several companies coming together over the course of a decade.
  
In early [[Year 16]] the security of the system was consolidated under [[Permanent Solutions]], a mercenary corporation created to oversee Morobe’s defences and provide protection services to the galaxy. In the following year Sienar Fleet Systems was later rebranded to [[S.W.A.T. Industries]], shifting focus from ship production to equipment and weapon manufacture. After over four years of successful independent operations the need to grow the system on a larger scale became clear and in late-[[Year 18]] Permanent Solutions negotiated a mutually beneficial merger with the [[Tion Hegemony]].

===Vorsia Companion - Year 11 Day 310===
  
The corporation was assimilated into Tion’s military and became the 3rd Fleet, or better known as [[Tion Defence Division]] to the wider galaxy. The vast resources and expertise of Tion’s government under leadership of Lady Hegemon [[Stephanie Barefoot]] enabled the system’s population to grow from millions into billions and prosper. During this period the Morobe system retained its relative independence by terms of the original negotiations. This partnership lasted for several years.
+
Almost ten years prior to the establishment of the One Nation, the moon [[Vorsia Companion]] was purchased by [[Lilith Delcroix]]. This began her life as a stateswoman and an aristocrat, and could be considered the earliest foundation for what would become the One Nation. Since [[Year 11]] Vorsia Companion has been developing as an independent nation with its own unique culture.
  
The inception of the One Nation began during [[Year 21]] after Lady Hegemon announced to Tion’s High Council her intention to step down from her role as the Head of State. Many of the original leaders of the late Permanent Solutions were also aiming to retire from their roles in Tion and question arose what shall become of the Morobe system, which was separated from the rest of Tion space by almost half the galaxy.

===Morobe Discovered - Year 14 Day 110===
  
Those responsible for the initial colonisation of the system felt that Morobe was ready to be its own sovereign territory. However they were still soldiers at heart and it was decided the burden of governmental leadership would fall to their associate, Countess [[Lilith Delcroix]], the sovereign of an independent long-standing state of [[Vorsia Companion]] since [[Year 11]]. However, the political system and Human-centric society of Vorsia Companion with a relatively minor population would not have translated well to encompass the much more populated planets of Morobe, and so a new governmental system was devised. Stemming from the Vorsian absolute monarchy, it was developed into a federal monarchy. This hierarchical system was the most familiar to all involved.
+
The existence of the [[Morobe_(System)|Morobe system]] was confirmed in [[Year 14]] by an independent group of entrepreneurs who surveyed the [[Morobe (Sector)|Morobe sector]] after leaving [[Galactic Empire|Imperial]] service and seeking to establish themselves in the galaxy on their own. Information about the system was held in secret until colonisation efforts were completed with help of [[Damorian Manufacturing Corporation]]. By the time the star charts were released to the public domain, the corporation held control over all four planets. The effort was code-named <i>Operation Edelweiss</i>.
  
During Year 18 Vorsia Companion saw the rise of Vorsian Orthodoxy; also known as the Church of Jou, which became an integral part of society. The central narrative of the religion is the Jou’s Judgment; an event referencing Vigo [[Amaranalah Jou]]’s decision to spare Lilith Delcroix’s life when she willingly offered herself as an atonement for her sins against the Family. The religion remained at the ceremonial forefront of the new federal monarchy and was spread across all of the nation’s planets to provide common ground for the new society.

Morobe system continued to be held by the corporation until the group of former Imperials created the second iteration of [[Sienar_Fleet_Systems#Independent_Shipwright|Sienar Fleet Systems]], working alongside [[Aurora Technologies]] and [[Rim Mining Guild]] to develop shipbuilding infrastructure in the system, which saw an influx of colonists as new opportunities were created near the [[Core Worlds|Galactic Core]], offering an alternative work to the surrounding Imperial controlled sectors. The manufacturing company grew to widespread galactic recognition, being one of the few suppliers of [[BFF-1 Bulk Freighter]] and [[Y-wing BTL-S3|BTL-S3 Y-wing Starfighters]]. These products gave the company quick profit margins, generating billions of Credits in income despite being a relatively new company.

With the increase of population and system traffic, it became clear the system needed organised defensive force. This led to creation of [[Permanent Solutions]], a mercenary company that would oversee Morobe’s defences and also provide protection services to the galaxy. In [[Year 16]] the Morobe system experienced development of military space stations and many of its shipyards shifted focus from civil vessels to warships. Under command of some of the most experienced Naval Officers the mercenaries were the foundation of One Nation’s future military.

One Nation Under Jou is an independent and neutral sovereign territory encompassing the Morobe system and a part of the Vorsia system, unified by a federal government under the Vorsian Crown. It is a socio-political union which shares and celebrates the values of one ruler, citizen rights, rule of law, common tongue, and education in social progress. All territories across the nation work together to provide education, healthcare, quality of life, personal safety and housing to all its citizens to promote prosperity and unity.

History

The chronicle of One Nation is a parallel history of two systems, Morobe and Vorsia, and of several companies coming together over the course of a decade.

Vorsia Companion - Year 11 Day 310

Almost ten years prior to the establishment of the One Nation, the moon Vorsia Companion was purchased by Lilith Delcroix. This began her life as a stateswoman and an aristocrat, and could be considered the earliest foundation for what would become the One Nation. Since Year 11 Vorsia Companion has been developing as an independent nation with its own unique culture.

Morobe Discovered - Year 14 Day 110

The existence of the Morobe system was confirmed in Year 14 by an independent group of entrepreneurs who surveyed the Morobe sector after leaving Imperial service and seeking to establish themselves in the galaxy on their own. Information about the system was held in secret until colonisation efforts were completed with help of Damorian Manufacturing Corporation. By the time the star charts were released to the public domain, the corporation held control over all four planets. The effort was code-named Operation Edelweiss.

Sienar Fleet Systems - Year 14 Day 233

Morobe system continued to be held by the corporation until the group of former Imperials created the second iteration of Sienar Fleet Systems, working alongside Aurora Technologies and Rim Mining Guild to develop shipbuilding infrastructure in the system, which saw an influx of colonists as new opportunities were created near the Galactic Core, offering an alternative work to the surrounding Imperial controlled sectors. The manufacturing company grew to widespread galactic recognition, being one of the few suppliers of BFF-1 Bulk Freighter and BTL-S3 Y-wing Starfighters. These products gave the company quick profit margins, generating billions of Credits in income despite being a relatively new company.

Permanent Solutions - Year 16 Day 43

With the increase of population and system traffic, it became clear the system needed organised defensive force. This led to creation of Permanent Solutions, a mercenary company that would oversee Morobe’s defences and also provide protection services to the galaxy. In Year 16 the Morobe system experienced development of military space stations and many of its shipyards shifted focus from civil vessels to warships. Under command of some of the most experienced Naval Officers the mercenaries were the foundation of One Nation’s future military.

S.W.A.T. Industries - Year 17 Day 141

When the exclusive contract with Aurora Technologies ended, the executive board of Sienar Fleet Systems decided to take a new direction and was rebranded as S.W.A.T. Industries in Year 17, producing equipment and weapons for Permanent Solutions. The manufacturing company was later closed when it was no longer needed to produce for the galactic market, limiting its operations to Morobe factories.

Tion Defence Division - Year 18 Day 318

In Year 18 Permanent Solutions negotiated a mutually beneficial merger with the Tion Hegemony. The company was assimilated into Tion’s military and became the 3rd Fleet, or better known as Tion Defence Division to the wider galaxy. The vast resources and expertise of Tion’s government under leadership of Lady Hegemon Stephanie Barefoot enabled the system’s population to grow from millions into billions and continue to prosper. During this period the Morobe system retained its relative independence by terms of the original negotiations. This partnership lasted for several years.

One Nation Under Jou - Year 21 Day 308

When Lady Hegemon announced to Tion’s High Council her intention to step down from her role as the Head of State in Year 21[1], those responsible for the initial colonisation of Morobe felt that the system was ready to be its own sovereign territory. It was mutually decided the burden of leadership would fall to Countess Lilith Delcroix by merging Morobe with the independent long-standing state of Vorsia Companion. A new governmental system was devised, combining a federal system with Vorsian’s monarchy. This hierarchical system was the most familiar to all involved, ensuring a smooth transition of power. One Nation Under Jou declared sovereignty on Day 308[2].

Celestial Heavy-Tech - Year 22 Day 106

In Year 22 the Galactic News Service announced the formation of Celestial Heavy-Tech company[3], a mining company with headquarters in Morobe. The report explained the new company was established on a partnership agreement rather than being nationalised by One Nation. The government began as a collective of enterprising individuals and this showed that it remains open to supporting pursuit of independent ventures.

Church of Jou

"If you can share a value, one value, you can connect with another person even if for a moment."

The Church of Jou, also known as the Vorsian Orthodoxy, originated on the moon Vorsia Companion, and is the prevalent religious organisation of One Nation Under Jou. The primary purpose of the Church is to offer support and guidance to the people of One Nation. It is a deistic religion where Vigo Amaranalah Jou is worshiped as a divine figure but not with the belief that she would directly intervene in the lives of the Church followers or perform miracles. Prayers to Vigo Jou are mainly used for comfort and as an act of confirming one’s faith. The Church acknowledges the Force as the power that binds the galaxy together, and teaches that Vigo Jou’s divinity came from the Force.

The central narrative of the religion is the Jou’s Judgment; an event referencing Vigo Amaranalah Jou’s decision to spare Lilith Delcroix’s life when she willingly offered herself as an atonement for her sins against the Family. This is believed by the Church followers to be the catalyst which led to the formation of the Vorsian state, and in extension the One Nation. With this single decision Vigo Jou allowed Countess Lilith to influence the galaxy and create a better world for the Vorsian people. Without Jou’s mercy the Vorsia Companion would not have been uplifted from its deteriorating conditions. Countess Lilith established the Church to exalt Vigo Jou so that the Vigo’s decision was not forgotten and its importance could inspire others, believing it to be a fundamental part of Vorsian history.

The cornerstone of the Vorsian Orthodoxy is self-sacrifice, and the understanding of long lasting impact one’s actions might have. The believers are expected to have faith and follow Vigo Jou’s example towards creation of a better world, and as such the Church has more cultural than spiritual influence within One Nation. The teachings are meant to inspire shared values, to provide guidance to those that have nowhere else to go, to inspire charity and to offer common ground. Belief in a better world is an idea that many can believe in, to work together and find some connection to begin mend, heal or negotiate. The teachings also emphasise the value of honour and family, to put others above personal interests; with the ultimate goal of creating paradise worlds through common faith and social values. This behaviour is referenced by the believers as walking in Jou’s Grace.
