Armeli Empire of Colonial Military Unions

Summary
The Armeli Empire of Colonial Military Unions (also known as the AECMU or Armeli Empire) is an ironically labelled Democratic nation based on an island off the coast of the Santalis Core Order. It was founded by a small city of people on the island, which grew to the large nation that it was today. It became best known for its production of Ichor--an energy material that overpowered just about every conventional power source in the world.

History
After the AECMU joining the mainland SCO itself, it served as the main distributor of Ichor, and continued to remain dominant in the economic market. When the Celestial Vanguard arrived in 2428, the Empire was the second nation to be hit by the incoming invasion. In response, a joint effort alongside the nation of Decholon (and its government) resulted in the Harbinger Project. Through its major contribution of Ichor to Decholon and the other nations of the SCO, humanity was able to repel the Vanguard's invasion and begin an area of peace. However, the discovery and distribution of a new energy source, Dechalus, caused the peace to end.

Many years later, internal disputes between the Empire's government and military branches began after a sudden invasion of the latter on Decholon in an effort to capture the nation's Dechalus refineries. These disputes eventually reached a boiling point in the Armeli revolution, which nearly collapsed the government upon the assassination of the Armeli Leader Vincent Barton. The revolutionary faction would split from the AECMU, invading Decholon for a second time under the name of the Mercury Legion. The AECMU itself would remain a shadow of its former self, and without standing government officials, plunged the Armeli society/economy into near anarchy. Repairs to the nation would eventually come in the form of the end of the Harbinger Uprising, where the reformed New Decholon Republic of Concord (Now the New Decholon Reformative Coalition) re-established the democratic government with their own leaders and military. While the AECMU itself had long since dissolved, the nation it once was used for began to make a recovery.
