Imperial Federation of Worlds

The Imperial Federation of Worlds is a growing and somewhat elitist intergovernmental league of non-Confederacy systems that believe the galaxy should be ruled by some kind of imperial or monarchist aristocracy who heave wealth and power. Most Imperial Federation species believe in strict and conservative views, especially that of harsh punishment for those who break their rules and that total rule should reside with the most advanced few; believing that advancement = wisdom and wisdom = power. However they don't believe that a single species should rule overall and have a pyramid-type of governance, with the most advanced ascertaining more power in politics and overall sway.

Many Confederacy members accuse the Imperial Federation as being a fascist overgovernment that opposes its rule on it's members harshly.

History
The idea was initially developed during the later reign of the Zelturian Empire by the Suvac who, with their minds difficult or near-impossible to read by the telepathic Zeltura, secretly plotted to overthrow the Zeltura, but they were not part of the Orchestra of Light resistance group, instead letting the Orchestra take them down for them. As soon as the Ceith colony Voxis was retaken by the Orchestra, the Suvac fought for control and declared the Imperial Federation of Words with the Riltteg and later Qeth.

Structure
While currently their pyramid-system of rule governs the Federation, it still has many internal fights over what type of power should be truly asserted, but all have one thing in common; they find the Confederacy weak and too soft on criminals and pirates, however they find the Haze a bunch of brutish, uncivilised idiots.

The Imperial Federation is, like the Confederacy not ruled by a single species such as the likes of the old autocratic and supremacist Zelturian Empire, but it's known that a few members were pro-Zeltura during their reign, especially the Suvac, who wanted to be in their position and overtake them and the leading members claim their own species to hold higher authority over other, lesser developed worlds. Their territories are said to cover some of the far Cygnus Arm of the galaxy and a large arc of the Monoceros Ring, which is known in the Federation as the Halo. They have split up in to 123 sectors.

They use agents called "ImFeds" to police their territories.

Prominent members include the Suvac, Riltteg, Qeth, and the Drall.

Suvac and Ceith
Although the mysterious Ceith are not considered part of the Imperial Federation are often highly associated with it and are often seen on Voxis, being a previous colony of theirs, and didn't seem to mind the colonisation of the planet by the Imperial Federation during it's formation. The Ceith have been known to defend Imperial Federation members, especially the Suvac form Confederacy Rangers. Who the Ceith really are, and what relationship they seem to have with the Suvac has been thrown in to question many times, not least by the Imperial Federation themselves.
