Overview
The federation was born out of a military alliance against the Chamarran invasion. Argent is the largest and oldest member of the federation. By contrast, Dosolia and New Malaysia are junior partners in the federation. The alliance was maintained after the Chamarran defeat and unification was eventually proposed in the following years. With overwhelming public support in all three nations, the treaty of Dosolia was signed in 3043, giving rise to the Federation of Argent, Dosolia and New Malaysia.
Since a botched attempt to stem the Chamarran Hierarchy expansion into the remnants of the Makayan Republic, relations with the Hierarchy have been cold. However, as decades pass, the incident is slowly forgotten and tentative attempts have been made to re-establish normalised relations with the Hierarchy.
The federation is known to be a quiet member of the interstellar community, lacking the xenophobia of the Imperium of Man, alien-ness of the Collector and religious zealotry of the Solarian Ascendancy. Generally, it prefers cordial relations with human polities, while maintaining a cautious diplomatic stance on non-humans.
Military
The Argenti Federation Navy is the naval arm of the military. The AFN is loosely divided into five main fleets, each with an Eagle-class dreadnought as its core. However, the actual composition of each fleet is fluid, depending on the security needs of each sector. Each fleet is responsible for the defence of each core sector of the federation.
Where necessary, an expeditionary fleet may be formed to perform offensive action. The expeditionary fleet command is distinct from the main fleet and is usually formed with ships from the main fleet. The expeditionary fleet commander is usually given discretion on how to conduct their operations, although the Fleet Command retains overall operational control.
On the ground, the Argenti Planetary Marines make up the bulk of the offensive arm of the ground troops. In addition, the Marines are also able to call upon the Argenti Reserve Division, Dosolia Planetary Guard and New Malaysia Defence Division should they require additional personnel. The Marines is composed purely of baseline humans, although there are plans to recruit non-human personnel into the army.

Cobalia Sector (Core)

Literally the “El Dorado” of the Argenti Federation. Huge mineral reserves can be found in the sector’s planets and planetoids. Due to its importance, it is also the military centre of the federation, based on Harold’s Planet.
Monako Sector (Mid-Range)
Notable planets: Monako, Newall, Lupin, Vespar
The Monako sector is an unremarkable sector, despite its history with pirates. Colonised after the pirates in the sector was swept clean by the Argenti Navy, it retains a certain rustic charm. Combined with stunning beauty of Newall and Vespar, it is a popular tourist destination.
Hawkin Sector (Colonial)
Notable planets: Lee’s Planet, Crescent
The Argenti originally colonised this sector as an attempt to establish a buffer zone against any Chamarran aggression. Apart from a few colonised planets, there are only a few scattered mining colonies, and a handful of military outposts in this desolate sector. Since resumption of normalised relation with the Hierarchy, the sector is enjoying a small boom in trade with Hierarchy.
