Welcome to my page! My primary goal on the Wiki is to edit the Lore of the USSP into something greater than anyone can enjoy. Here will be the edited version of the USSP lore that I intend to make.

= Summary =
 
The Union of Soviet Socialist Planets (Also known as the USSP or Space Russia) is a minor human government-in-exile. It exists beyond the range of [[Trans-Solar Federation|SolGov’s]] considerable reach, residing on several dozen of space stations, planets, and colonies in the fringes of the known galaxy. Despite their early setbacks, the USSP holds control of several outlying colonies outside the Trans-Solar Federation's sphere of influence, relying on the remote nature of many of their systems for protection against TSF raids or military actions.
 
Numerous USSP Citizens blame the [[Trans-Solar Federation]] both for the destruction of several stations, such as [[Russian Derelict|KC13]], and for driving them out of the Cygni system. The USSP is presently recognized by the Trans-Solar Federation as a terrorist organization, though this hasn't stopped various organizations and corporations such as [[Nanotrasen]] from conducting occasional trade deals with them.
 
= History =
 
The beginnings of the USSP were born in the Cygni system. What most people saw as a generic [[Trans-Solar Federation|SolGov]] major colony, Malfoy Ames saw more. But like most governments, the USSP was not formed in a single moment.
 
Only a few days after the early year festivities of 2443, Naval Station Oahu, a federal station tasked with overseeing the security of the system, had become the target of the system's revolution. Turncoats and Revolutionaries took over the station by force and took hostage SolGov loyalists. Anyone unwilling to cooperate was executed, the hostile takeover ending up with 5310 casualties. This led to what was then called the Cygni Rebellion and the Oahu Massacre by SolGov media, followed quickly by an official declaration of war by Malfoy Ames against the Trans-Solar Federation.
 
the USSP was quickly and decisively crushed by [[Trans-Solar Federation|SolGov’s]] powerful naval forces, and was scattered to the cosmos in shards. Several of these shards eventually coalesced into the modern-day USSP, comprised of many of the same politicians that took up the mantle on Cygni Prime.
 
= Governmental Structure =
== Political Structure ==
The primary governmental structure of the USSP is based upon the blueprint laid down by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, going so far as to appropriate the USSR’s flag, anthem, and language.
 
The primary governmental agency within the USSP is named the Soviet Presidum. Its most numerous member type is the Soviet of the Union, elected on the basis of population with one delegate for every 300,000 people in the USSP, and the Soviet of Nationalities, which has 32 delegates per installation, planet, or colony.
The effective ruler of the USSP is known as the Chairman of the Presidium. The current Chairman is the ex-Vice Governor of Cygni Prime, a human named Stukov Vedenin.
 
The USSP is considered by and large to be a politically neutral entity by most planetary governments despite their grievances with the Trans-Solar Federation. One of the few exceptions to this is the USSP's ongoing military actions against what they term "space fascists", often conducting raids on any and all companies known to be working with the [[Elysium Republic]].
 
== Civilian Structure ==
 
Due to the constant risk of SolGov conducting a raid on USSP territory, most systems are populated by civilian ships and multiple space stations. Distanced from the major ressource hotspots that the Trans-Solar Federation owns, the USSP has limited ressources to work with when it comes to infrastructure. Many of these stations, ships and colonies are built with what most call "alternative methods" that differ with what most [[Trans-Solar Federation|SolGov]] and [[Nanotrasen]] stations base themselves on. The fancy Singularity, Tesla or Supermatter engines typically found aboard terran stations are instead replaced with expansive solar arrays, oftentimes taking more space than the station itself. In the few bigger USSP stations, these solar panels are typically accompanied with impressive batteries and turbines in the rare cases that the solar panels aren't providing enough.
 
With the inability to maintain or manufacture cheap gravity generators, the Soviet State elaborated a new system. State-Issued jackboots contain an iron lining underneath their soles which, combined with magnetized platings underneath station floors, allows USSP stations to have pseudo-gravity. This allows for easier movements inside their stations with very little upkeep, at the cost of nearly everything either floating or being pinned to the walls. These alternative methods ensures that there are less cut corners and substandard construction materials which, early in the formation of the USSP, often resulted in high-upkeep costs or the stations' subsequent destruction.
 
== Military Structure ==
The USSP’s Military force is best described by the adage “Quantity over Quality.” USSP fleets are often composed of repurposed yet effective vessels such asteroid miners, starliners, freighters, or other such civilian ships. While ramshackle in appearance, the USSP Navy has proven itself an effective fighting force by virtue of sheer weight of numbers and blistering speed.

Most ships in the USSP Navy are specialized for extreme close quarters combat (under a kilometer between vessels), where the outdated cannon and boarding parties become much more viable options, creating the need for USSP vessels to close the distance quickly between themselves and their targets. USSP Navy Captains are given significant leeway in customizing their engagement style and hull configurations, with some preferring the “wall of lead” approach, while others strip down to a bare minimum of firepower so as to maximize the engine’s power-to-weight ratio.
 
The USSP Army is outfitted in much the same way, formed primarily through conscription and volunteers. There is a standardized uniform for Army forces, weighted more towards utility than appearance. The Army requires volunteers and conscripts to provide their own firearms, with only elite units being issued locally-produced AK-814 rifle variants. Personal laser-based weaponry are typically reserved for the highest-ranking personnel in the military, their production being too limited and expensive for widespread use. This has led to a hit-and-run, asymmetrical style of warfare by the Army, making veterans of the USSP forces desirable for numerous organizations, most notably the [[Syndicate]].
 
What truly makes Soviet soldiers desirable is their innate ability to create revolutions. Having learned with the Cygni Rebellion that Soviet forces are not able to brute force their way through conflicts, the USSP's military has developed Revolution Agents,
