	~~'''~~The Founding~~'''~~

	The '''West Galactic Federation''' was an alliance founded in October 2012 by [[Stellar Syndicate]] after they migrated from the Main Cluster to the West Cluster (-X,Y,Z) of the galaxy. [[Stellar Syndicate]] invited three of the already existing Western empires to join the WGF. [[Altaran]] and The Nibelung, both already close allies, decided to join the Federation. The third empire, Loronath, declined the invitation as they were content in their isolation. With 3 very qualified empires already joined together as the West Galactic Federation, WGF decided to invite a few choice Eastern empires to abandon their space and join WGF in the West. Many older empires such as [[Rik'Tan Hegemony]] and [[Tresnoth Republic]], which had already mostly stepped down from the game decided to join Syndicate.

			===The Purpose===
	~~'''~~The Purpose~~'''~~

	The purpose of the WGF was to create a haven for more veteran players to come together and play, and to give the Western empires a united voice and presence in the galaxy so that they could be better respected and represented on the stage of galactic politics. A secondary purpose was also to control and facilitate the colonisation of the West of the galaxy, which until now had a tiny population compared to the East, where the main cluster and coreward clusters were located. In the first two aims, the WGF undoubtedly succeeded, and was able to unite many of the veteran players and western empires into a partnership which not only managed to control the east, but exercise control over the entire galaxy.

			===Prosperity===
	~~'''~~Prosperity~~'''~~

	With the unification of so many players and empires, the WGF very quickly rose up through the empire standings to the Number 2 spot, a few dozen sectors shy of the Number 1 spot, which was occupied by the [[Klingon Empire]], and their vassals and minions in the Klingon Alliance. Quickly, a cold war emerged and tensions quickly escalated on both sides. The Klingon Alliance was seemingly in control of the main cluster, and exercising a rather brutal system of recruiting empires in order to pressgang other empires into the Alliance by force. The WGF appealed to the Klingon Empire to stop abusing the newbie empires of the main cluster. Only 20 days after the formation of the WGF, a massive war was on the horizon.

	Soon after the establishment of the WGF, long range travel was broken and maimed by a series of updates intended to stop AI Officers from being able to fly through unexplored space. Unfortunately, this severely limited officer travel even through pretty well explored space due to the way the game handled system/sector transitions and exploration. This essentially put a full stop to easy intergalactic travel, relegating it to a handful of player crewed ships moving back and forth rather than entire fleets.
