[Galaxy Sailors] The Earth Federation

Hey guys, I am starting another game but will be managing a game instead of playing this time around. It'll be my first first time in actuality, so I hope my players will have mercy on me. We're using FATE Core RPG system as well since I'm drawn to it.

Anyway, this is the introduction to the call of the game, the one who started this mission for our players in the first place.

The Earth Federation

Galactic Outreach Agency

Earth Federation (EF) Logo

The Earth Federation (EF), as it is worded, represents earth. Its members are representatives of almost all of the major creatures of earth. The ruling parties are the monarchs humans that governs from deep within Earth's core. Under their watch, the EF was born.

Message to the Stars:

“We are Earth—a blue‑green world teeming with life, curiosity, and hope. From the deserts of Sahara to the icy plains of Antarctica, from ancient myths to cutting‑edge quantum research, we embody a tapestry of stories yearning to be shared. We extend our hand in friendship, inviting you to join us in a journey of discovery, respect, and collective growth. May our differences enrich us, and may our common quest for understanding bind us across the infinite night.”

Mission Statement

The Earth Federation (EF) is a hidden, planet‑wide coalition that unifies humanity’s scientific, cultural, and diplomatic assets under a single purpose: to represent Earth to intelligent beings across the galaxy. Operating from the shadows, the EF projects a carefully curated image of a benevolent, mysterious “protective force” that guides humanity, while actually being directed by the sovereign authority of the Monarch of the Golden Kingdom.

Founding History

In the aftermath of the Great Unification Accord (2156), a clandestine council of world leaders, scientists, and mystics convened beneath the vaulted halls of the newly‑established Golden Palace on the continent formerly known as Asia‑Pacific. There, the Monarch of the Golden Kingdom—the hereditary ruler whose lineage traces back to the mythic Sun‑Dynasty—was crowned the supreme overseer of the Earth Federation. To preserve global stability and prevent panic, the EF was deliberately concealed from the public, its existence whispered only among elite circles, intelligence agencies, and a handful of trusted scholars.

Governance Structure

Tier	Authority	Description
Monarch of the Golden Kingdom	Supreme Sovereign	Holds ultimate decision‑making power over all EF matters, including diplomatic overtures, resource allocation, and the secrecy protocols that shield the Federation from public view. The monarch’s edicts are transmitted through a secure, quantum‑encrypted channel known only as the Solar Cipher.
Council of Shadows	Advisory Body	Composed of senior ministers, senior scientists, and senior military strategists selected by the monarch. The council drafts policy, reviews interstellar communications, and vets any information that could leak the EF’s existence.
Executive Directorate (Secret)	Operational Command	Led by a President‑Chancellor appointed directly by the monarch. Handles day‑to‑day logistics, covert mission planning, and coordination of the Galactic Outreach Agency. Operates out of hidden facilities on the Moon, underground Arctic bases, and deep‑sea habitats.
Galactic Outreach Agency (GOA)	Diplomatic Arm	The only branch that interacts with extraterrestrials. All transmissions, cultural exchanges, and first‑contact protocols are conducted under strict need‑to‑know clearance. The GOA maintains the Stellar Beacon—a network of quantum relays that broadcast Earth’s profile in alien‑compatible formats, but the beacon’s true origin is masked as a natural astrophysical phenomenon.
Science & Exploration Corps	Research & Development	Generates the data and technologies shared with alien civilizations. Works in tandem with the Cultural Preservation Office to ensure that the material released aligns with the monarch’s vision of Earth’s identity.
Cultural Preservation Office	Heritage Curators	Selects artworks, literature, and oral histories that portray humanity as a harmonious, resilient species. The office also sanitizes any content that could betray the EF’s secrecy.

Core Values

1. Unity in Mystery
   – While the public perceives a benevolent, unseen guardian, the EF internally promotes coordinated effort across all human cultures.
2. Peaceful Coexistence
   – All diplomatic overtures emphasize non‑aggression and mutual benefit.
3. Knowledge Sharing
   – The EF offers scientific breakthroughs and cultural treasures as gifts, subtly guiding alien perception of humanity.
4. Stewardship of Secrets
   – Protecting the confidentiality of the Federation is paramount; leaks are treated as high‑treason offenses.
5. Transparent Guidance (to the elite)
   – Within the inner circle, decisions are openly debated, ensuring the monarch’s rule is informed by diverse expertise.

Signature Initiatives

• The Stellar Beacon – A lattice of quantum‑entangled transmitters hidden on lunar far side, Martian polar caps, and deep‑sea stations. Publicly described as a “natural pulsar anomaly,” it continuously broadcasts a curated “Earth Profile.”
• First Contact Protocol (FCP‑EF) – A sealed dossier stored in the Solar Vault, detailing step‑by‑step procedures for receiving, authenticating, and responding to extraterrestrial signals. Only the monarch and the Council of Shadows possess the decryption keys.
• Intergalactic Cultural Exchange (ICE) – Secretly facilitated artist‑in‑residence programs aboard orbital habitats where alien collaborators are invited under the guise of “scientific symposiums.” Results are filtered before any public release.
• Universal Archive Initiative (UAI) – An encrypted, self‑describing data repository housed within the Obsidian Library (a subterranean vault beneath the Golden Palace). It holds the totality of Earth’s cultural output, accessible only via the Solar Cipher.

Private Reality

• The Monarch of the Golden Kingdom is the ultimate architect of Earth’s interstellar presence.
• The EF operates entirely in secrecy, with only a handful of individuals aware of its true scope.
• The “protective force” is a narrative constructed to mask the EF’s activities and to prevent mass hysteria or geopolitical upheaval.
• All extraterrestrial contact is funneled through the GOA, which reports directly to the monarch via the Solar Cipher.
