The United Worlds Federation needs you!

The Amiral-Lord Atlan. He's been hiding under the sea of Earthh for 10 thousand years. After the Terran awakened to the galactic era, the nephew of emperor Techit V was discovered in his cryogenic tank. At the time, Earth was more or less at war (at the very least not in good terms) with the declining Arkonid Empire, now ruled by a super-computer of incredible might.

As trouble stirred, Atlan went to the Terrans' side against the soulless and outdated computer who had stripped his beloved empire of it's freedom. However, as soon as the Regent (as the computer was named) fell, the empire started disintegrating, old grudge awakening and whole sectors revolting. Atlan barely managed to keep it under control by reinstating the old monarchy (people are always found of lost glory), but it became soon evident that such an empire was terribly unstable and a lone man could not rule it.

The empire was dissolved and turned into a freely joinable federation, open to all races and allegiances, as long as members didn't fight each others. The United World Federation is a loose congregation in which the human choose not to participate, though several independant colonies did (The systems of Epsal and Ohurnas, noticeably).

The new empire is free to join, but senators must only have submitted games of either the same alignment or victory condition, as they are the representants of whole races.

(Those with a good knowledge of Science-Fiction might recognize the books this was inspired from)

I like your theme, although you'll probably have to relax those conditions if you want to preserve some variety in the game.

Well, it's actually quite easy to manage IMHO, one or the other does leave variety in all other options, and this limitations is only appropriate for players who desire to become Senators, others are free to do as they please.

Suggest this is a bit tough for those with a "history"....
