Union of Progressive Peoples

The Union of Progressive Peoples (UPP) are the rivals of the United Americas in many aspects. They're highly trained socialist soldiers, ready to fight for the UPP. And their goal is to eliminate anyone who are against the UPP.

A wide-reaching and powerful socialist authoritarian state, the UPP acts as the political and ideological rival of the United States and the UA. Though they have a relatively large presence on Earth (particularly in the Eastern sphere), the UPP is also largely active in colonizing the frontier. While the United Americas have never engaged the UPP in an official war, hostilities broke out between a USCM Task Force and a UPP Expeditionary Force during the Tientsin Campaign in mid 2165. Though the engagement ended in a ceasefire, over fears that the conflict would spread to the more densely populated Sol System, the incident greatly enraged many senior officials in the UPP, who viewed the battle of Tientsin as an attempt by the United States to annex UPP sovereign territory. “Such an insult (referring to Tientsin) can only be repaid in American blood. Mark my words, this will happen”, Colonel Ganbaatar of the UPP Armed Forces was quoted as saying in May 2168.

History

The Union of Progressive Peoples (U.P.P.) is a powerful socialist nation that acts as a rival of United Americas (U.A.) in the eastern sphere. However, as years go by, so does the spark of rivalry between the U.A. and U.P.P. as well, with mounting tensions between the two becoming more and more prevalent. Though the U.P.P. has never engaged in wars against the U.A. or USCM, hostilities broke out between a USCM Task Force and a U.P.P. Expeditionary Force during the Tientsin Campaign in mid 2165. It later ended in ceasefire. However, many enraged officials and commanders view this firefight as an attempt for the USCM to take control of UPP territory. 3 years after the Tientsin Campaign there is still an unstable relationship between the U.P.P and the U.A.

In 2186, for the past 14 months the 17th battalion known as the Smoldering Sons (six hundred able-bodied soldiers, strong) have been stationed at a gas giant designated MV-35 in the Anglo-Japanese Arm of the Tychon's Rift sector under the command of Colonel Ganbaatar.
MV-35's only facility, the helium refinery, Altai Station has been the only UPP-held territory in the Tychon's Rift sector for many light years, the soldiers deployed to MV-35 have spent most of their military career holed up in crammed quarters in near darkness, waiting for supply shipments and transport escort deployments.
