History

By the summer of 2262, prominent setbacks in the expansion of the Kazandzhik Interstellar Combine had turned what was supposed to be a major component of the 58th, 5 Year Plan, into a metaphor for the struggling national economy. And this was only the most visible symptom of far deeper, systemic, challenges. Rollbacks of previous reforms and a lack of innovation had led to the unchecked expansion of the interstellar Soviet bureaucracy, with systemic inefficiencies, cronyism, and corruption. To retain his position Nergüi had become dependent on a powerful faction of hardliners within his government and especially a few prominent allies in control of key military institutions and security services. While domestic failures might not have been enough to threaten this support, Soviet foreign policy and the nation’s position in the Orion Arm had been repeatedly hindered by missteps and miscalculations. The Comintern was bleeding members, reduced by 28 states over Nergüi’s tenure. Nergüi is believed to have been responcible for the Fleet Action Off Vega occuring, in order to strengthnen his position on Soviet foreign policy.

In 2263, Premier Nergüi was removed, and the reformist wing of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union obtained an unequaled level of control over their government.
