Beldon

Colony in Quadrant 3 and member of the Venerian Republic.

Governance

The colony agreed a planetary constitution at the end of 3212. Under this constitution the original six colonies created a federal system, with a Senate made up of 400 members drawn proportionately from each colony. The President of the Association has some executive powers, particularly in the areas of defence, trade and diplomacy.
Of the original six colonies, the most significant was the Red Banner Colony of the north continent as the most economically powerful, and the first elected President, Vladimir Perkins was the Executive Chair of that colony up until his election in 3213. Perkins was re-elected in 3219, 3224 and again in 3229.

Meanwhile the colony signed an Associate Membership agreement with the Venerian Republic in 3222.

Arrival of 'The Beings'

In 3219 a huge slower-than light refugee ship full of a reviopusly unknown alien species known as 'The Beings' arrived in the Beldon system. An agreement was reached with the aliens that they would be able to colonise an uninhabited continent of the colony world.
