| The first Banks Orbital ever built can still be seen in the Gordelpus System | |
Central MPA system, colonized by the Kathelian Confederacy in the 2700's. Location of the first Banks Orbital, completed in 4226 A.T..
It became a center of wormhole construction, magmatter manufacture, and experiments in applied gravitronics under the Kathelian engineer-gods. When they suddenly vanished in 6304 (likely transcending) the system was cast into disarray and economic chaos. The new STC-aligned Erniac government came into conflict with pro-Negentropic and pro-Keterist influences, weakening the political market and allowing the Sonato system to buy the polityship in 6433.

MPA polity, founded in 2378 by a group of wormhole engineering AIs. To some extent the Confederacy was an AI House, owning a sizable wormhole manufacture infrastructure, controlling several systems and having many allied biont clades. Their ethos was strongly aligned with the concept of the engineer-god, expressing its divinity through design and creation. It persisted largely unchanged until 6304, when large parts of the ruling AIs vanished into apparent transcendence; this both weakened and centralized the Confederacy, making it consolidate into a mere four-system polity. Politically the Confederacy remains very much MPA mainstream, with some Meketuur influences.
