Editing The Republic (section)

==History==

After the defeat of the Valacantha, the Coreward Worlds that were left behind was mainly fought by the American Space Navy.  Figuring it was time for the Human Race to leave it's cradle, NASA convinced President John F. Kennedy to construct two sleeper ships headed towards the Coreward Worlds.  The ''Mayflower'' and the ''Santa Maria.''  The ''Santa Maria'' however was forcibly hijacked by the Black Panthers who promised the Black People an Interstellar Haven of their own away from the power of the White Man.  Many blacks bought into their promises of Black Power and Black Independence and boarded the ''Santa Maria'' bound for another part of the Coreward Worlds.  When the two sleeper ships where launched the collective population of the sleeper ships equaled about ten thousand people.  The Sleeper Ship ''Mayflower'' made it to the system they dubbed [[Massachusetts]].  Mostly made up of Americans, the fledging Republic soon adopted the old U.S. Constitution as its own, and set up a house of Representatives, a Senate, a President, and a Judicial Branch.  When Communication with Sol was lost, the Republic became its own interstellar nation.
