Triad Confederacy

Triad Confederacy:

The history of the Confederacy is a noble and proud one. Made up of three governments located on the outer edge of the galaxy in what is commonly known as Wild Space, the Triad conisists of the Lakonian's, the Ne'trian's, and a Human government called the Cornellites. The Cornellites were settlers from the galaxy proper 175 years before the rise of Palpatine's Empire. Tired of wars between Jedi and Sith, opposing governments, and Trade guilds, the settlers formed a convoy and headed into the galaxy in search of a better life. After trapsing through the Outer Rim for weeks the leadership of the group decided to go to Wild Space where no one would think to bother them. There, they could make a new life and make allies.

After settling their new world, they were met by the Ne'trian military. The Ne'trian's were very aggressive and warlike. Never ones to trust outsiders, they very nearly came to blows with the Human settlers over the planet. It wasn't until the Lakonian's were asked to intervene on behalf of the Ne'trian government did the two alien species receive news of the rest of the galaxy. The leaders of all three species eventuelly agreed that further outside colonization needed to be prohibited. So, the Lakonian and Ne'trian people placed rules upon the new Human settlers: No trade with the planets and governements outside of those approved by the Lakonian and Ne'trian peoples. Any military build up should be limited to the exact number of ships and personel as used by the Lakonian and Ne'trian military. Absolutely no communication with any of the settlers home planets, colonies, etc. These rules were strictly enforced.

It wasn't until 100 BBY that the Cornellite's had a decent Navy and Army to defend themselves from the occasional pirate and mercenary forces. They had eventually established colonies on other worlds including worlds close to both Lakonian and Ne'trian colonies. The Lakonian military had been closely working with the Humans and teaching them tactics and skills in combat. These skills would be their staple for years to come.

25 years BBY the Cornellites were discovered by an Imperial task force on a mission to bring more governemnts into the Empire. It was a 'unification' effort and the order was given to many outlying Imperial sectors to carry out. The task force which discovered the Human colony sent landing parties to extend the invitation. But due to the age old agreement with the Lakonian's and Ne'trian's the Cornellites declined.
