The Federation Gier began as a a mining expedition to the second moon of Chorex III. Fund by a large group of mining Consortiums and the Imperial goverment. It consisted of a Battalion of Navy cruisers and Flottia of mining vessals. The moon, while airless and tiny, was extremely mineral rich and the profits were so great that many permanent settlements began to spring up across the surface.

2687CE Marked the thrid war of succession, end of the Second Imperial age and brought about the beginning of the 1st Terran Republic. With it anarchy reigned throughout the systems, each left to its own devices. On the third moon of Chorex III the army forces under the leadership of General Gedvia and Corperate forces under The board of CEOs waged a cxivil war for control of the planet. This continued for 4 monthes and would have likely continued longer if not for the fact that a Communist Revolution Broke out among the poorly paid workers of the planets population. Upon seeing any victory pass away both the Army and Corperation joined forces in an attempt to crush this upstart rebellion.

Another 2 monthes of bitter fighting continued and the corperate/Army forces proved victorious. To this end the two permanently joined together, knowing that the dissatisfied workers would never be able to rise up agasinst them united, eaxch secure in their power.

So their new goverment was formed, head of state is the Co-ordinator General of Geirs Armed Forces, He is controled by an Executive Council, 100 votes are owned by different parent corperations, each able to buy and sell their votes like stock. Finally to propose bills, is the Legaslative assembly, with the top 500 companies each recieving one vote.

Currently The federation of Gier has evolved into a powerhouse state. the moon itself is still barren as no terraforming has even been tried, instead massive Acrologies have sprung up. Each reaching high into space, and stretching deep below the surface. At the lowest levels you find mines, some abandoned some still in use, thanks to no central goverment control on the digging of mines they form an extremely chaotic pattern and no complete map exists. Within the mines you find runaways, criminals and the poorest of Gierites. Above them, normally at ground level reside the wardens, home to the working poor of Gier, unskilled and replacable, they walk the thin line of survival, they are known to the rest of society as minderwertiges. Still above that, Is the corperate residences of skilled labourers, with a standerd of living comparable with most nations they live a secure life of servitude to their parent corperation.

Above the Corperate residences are the military functions and public facilities. They have Barracks and always manned defense weapons. Strictly guarded and of limits to minderwertiges. The soldiers is the only none-corperate job on the moon and is highly sought after in terms of those exploited by Companies. Above them and nested at the peak of the Acro lies the Corperate estates. Anyone of importance rests here in large gardens and spacous homes. Also found at the top of the largest Acros is normally a space dock, where ships can unload cargo without having to shuttle it down.
