History Manifesto Charter

History

In the dawn of the 30th century, as humanity expanded its reach into the cosmos, the working class of Terra found themselves burdened by the same age-old struggles: exploitation, inequality, and a lack of representation. It was during this era of interstellar colonization that the Socialist Spacefarer’s Union (SSU) was conceived. Born out of the blue-collar labor movements on Terra, the SSU emerged as a beacon of hope for those who toiled in the depths of space, from asteroid miners to cargo haulers, ensuring that their rights and voices were not lost in the void.

The union was founded by a coalition of brave individuals who believed in equality, solidarity, and the power of collective action. These pioneers organized the first interstellar strike, halting the operations of major corporate conglomerates and bringing the plight of spacefarers to the forefront of galactic politics. Their efforts led to significant reforms and the establishment of the SSU as a recognized entity dedicated to protecting the interests of all spacefarers, regardless of origin or occupation.

Join the Socialist Spacefarer’s Union and be part of a movement that champions the rights of the many over the few. Together, we can build a brighter future among the stars.
