Kugraw Hegemony

The Kugraw Hegemony is the main governing body for most citizens of Spectra. First created when the Kugraw encountered the Pykes, it has since grown in size with the added support and territory of each species that joins it.

Though a hegemony in name, the government's structure is closer to that of a republic; an elected chancellor works with a team of advisors meant to represent each major region of the Hegemony's territory.

It is the largest galactic government in Spectra, and the primary opposition to the Irvagaleni Empire.

History
The Hegemony was first founded in AY 20, when the Kugraw discovered the Pykes. This was the first time any advanced species had been discovered that hadn't come from a Plane, and so there was great interest surrounding the incident. The Pykes had been trying to colonize a world in their local star system at the time, and offered to cohabitate it instead of taking it for themselves. The Kugraw accepted, and the two races entered into an agreement; the Kugraw would protect the Pykes and bring them forth into the greater reaches of the galaxy, and the Pykes would share their technological advancements with the Kugraw.

The second race to join the Hegemony was the Signon.
