A collection of Terran nation states as well as the Free Martian State come together to form The Mandate. Other Terran nation states with extra-solar colonies quickly join the new organization.

However, by the actions of the Mandate, it quickly becomes apparent that its primary function is to maintain Earth's hold over its remaining colonies, and return the independent colonies to the fold.
