The Union of Socialist Planets, referred to commonly as the USP, is an interplanetary union that officially spans 325 planets, with more than half of them reportedly containing a permanent population. Formed after a brief war following an illegal strike by the now defunct NanoTrasen Workers Union (NTWU), they have since expanded considerably. Though, the USP only holds a fraction of the influence wielded by NanoTrasen and the Trans-Solar Federation. Largely considered to be the flagship of communism in the new century. It's capital is Yucatan, and it's largest city is Numoscow.
The USP is largely organized around the idea of planets acting as their own independent republic, with each planet electing a number of representatives to represent them in the Interplanetary Politburo (IP). The IP is responsible for assembling select committees to focus on topics in the Union. Although unknown the number of committees that exist, some more well known are the Committee for Labor (CL), the Committee for Foreign Relations (CFR), and the State Committee (SC). Not much else is known about how individual planets organize their own governments.
Tensions with the TSF and NanoTrasen exist. Formally however, the TSF and the USP have signed peace deals to cease hostilities in their frontier planets. In the early history of the USP, a political movement called the "Right to Work Movement" sought to reconcile with NanoTrasen and to form a new union with the promise of not being as militant as the NTWU. This movement reached it's peak around 20 years after the initial formation of the USP. Protests within the USP caused instability to be high, culminating at the "Nuchicago Affair." A bombing by a now rumored NanoTrasen funded agent caused the collapse of the Old Science Building, killing over 3,000 people. Many USP citizens hold this piece of history close, using it as evidence of NanoTrasens extended meddling in affairs citizens believe it should have no part in.
After the bombing, politicians and citizens who were rumored to hold sympathies to the Right to Work Movement were prosecuted, with some even being murdered by vigilantes. A NanoTrasen document studying the effects of the failure of the Right to Work Movement was leaked, positing that attempts to destabilize the USP have backfired.
In the present day, the USP, despite being smaller than other political entities in the Milky Way, holds a considerable amount of resources in the form of Plasma and Bluespace Technology, announcing win after win, most recently, inventing the first mass-produced blue LED.
