The United Life Empire, or the UL, is an intergalactic government that appears in the Transcendence AU in Space Arc. It expands into multiple galaxies during its Great Expansion period[1], and then gradually dissolves into a pro-nat dystopia and fades from existence.[2]
History
The UL exists in various forms for billions of years. It begins with the best of intentions, as an organisation to unite the increasing number of spacefaring species humanity encounters as they enter the Space Age. With the increasingly limitless power of advancing technology and the relatively weak potential of human magicians, magic is seen as quaint and unnecessary from the beginning. This sidelines preternatural creatures and alien species who are heavily reliant on using magic.
During its Great Expansion Period, the UL colonizes multiple galaxies and extends to its greatest limit. The Al-V Battleship Hack of 31733 happens here, briefly forcing most UL communications to be done in paper journals.[1] Mizars Jay Rhysti-Du[3] and the Dread Pirate Mizar are born in this period. The Dread Pirate Mizar becomes infamous for escaping from a UL prison, pirating a battleship, taking Captain Hadley hostage and terrorizing the Empire for a few days before being killed in a shootout.[4]
Over time, the massive UL begins to lose influence and break apart into smaller nations and nomadic communities.
