Vaerian Liberal Guild

History
The Vaerian Liberal Guild is the merged NLG and UCMO. The NLG was founded in 2199 at the start of the Empires Beginnings in Space, seeing the noble class gaining significant power, the liberal minded Vaerians came together with their leader Samuel Hollenzollern to create the NLG to fight for a Liberal Vaerian Empire. After realization of similar economic and social policies including, powers of the assembly, the economy, and the military as the VLG’s Motto is “Strong and Free”, the NLG and the UCMO merged under one name in 2200.

In 2202, the leader at the time, Samuel Hollerzollen, became involved in a framing job and John Stockwell became leader of the guild until Hollerzollen's name was cleared in 2205. In 2211, Hollerzollen was involved in a corruption scandal, and he stepped down. After a brief interregnum under Stockwell, Victor Epalia became the new leader of the VLG. In 2220, Epalia himself stepped down in favour of Donald Ellmaker. After the disastrous results in the 2220 elections, the VLG disbanded and its former members founded the Liberal Guild.
