Explorers and astrogators found the remains of several G'Tak warships and probes in the nearest systems, which began to seriously worry the megacorporations. The evidence discovered provided evidence, backing the theory that while 65 million years had passed in the Sol System only 6,500 years had passed for the rest of the universe.Colonies demanded that the Terran System Government protect them, and the Terran System Government demanded that the colonies pay taxes and provide certian favors to the Terra System. After approximately ten years of arguement, the Terran Unified Systems were formed.Under the TUS the megacorporations ruled with a thinly vieled hand. During this time those cities that had not been abandoned on Terra grew upwards, and the difference between the have and have nots grew greater. Terms were extended further and further as rapidly advancing technology allowed humans to live longer and longer. Within fifty years the average election turnover rate for a set of the TUS Council stood at 100 years.Many citizens, dissatistfied with life on Terra, or unwilling to stay on struggling colonies, joined the TUS Navy. There they found that more and more responsibility and duties had been turned over to aritficial intellignece and robots, manufactured by those who pulled the strings of the TUS, and those very creations seen as having unswavering loyalty, unlike normal humans.Many whispered that the TUS was setting itself up as the first dictatorial council to span several dozen systems in Terran Human history. Those who spoke too loudly began disappearing, and discontent grew.However, while the TUS deliberated over the status of artificially intillegent sentients, the Fist Artificial War began. When the war was over, the old system was discarded, and a semi-peaceful rebellion occurred.When it was over, the present day Terran Confederation was created and empowered with overseeing human space. To facilitate control of it's territory, the TC created the Confederate Navy, the Marines, the Bounty Hunter Guild, and empowered all three to act as an enforcer of Confederate Law.While each Sector/System/Planet was responsible for creating it's own laws, the Terran Law Enforcement Trio was to be used only for the worst problems.</blockquote>
