Formed in 41 ABY from the ruins of the Dalicron Sector High Advisory Council, the Human League came to power almost immediately after democratic elections were held throughout the Dalicron Sector. Members of the Denosiasts movement had secured enough seats during this election that a new chairman was able to come to power over the Council, Gander Denos.

While the campaigns and propaganda were centered around peace, equality, and a solid future for all of Dalicron, the truth could not have been further from. Following the elections, the Dalicron Sector High Advisory Council was dissolved and the Human League took its place. Fueled by anti-alien sentiment and pro-human ideologies, over half of the sector fell back towards the tenants and structure of the previously known Imperial rule.

Background

In the shadows of a once-thriving society, where the echoes of progress were drowned in the symphony of despair, a new chapter unfolded — one drenched in darkness and fear. A movement known as Denosianism, a clandestine group that emerged from the abyss of discontent under the leadership of Gander Denos, had seized control of the planet's reins from the Dalicron Sector High Advisory Council after being voted into power by those who once thought they would be their saviors. Initially, they had promoted just causes and worked to benefit the sector’s people as a whole regardless of rank, position, job, or even social class.

Once the Denosiasts had been confirmed as the next ruling class of Dalicron, all of that changed.  As their ominous banners unfurled across towering buildings, casting an oppressive pallor over the urban landscape, the denizens found themselves ensnared in a dystopian nightmare.

The air, once alive with the hum of everyday life, now whispered with trepidation. The Denosiasts, now openly identifying as the Human League which was fueled by an insatiable hunger for dominance, initiated a relentless crackdown on the civilian populace -- particularly against those who were not human, with public executions in the streets and on holonet channels.  The planet's once-vibrant streets became haunting corridors of surveillance and oppression, with every step echoing the weight of impending doom; especially for all non-humanoids that resided there.

The citizens began to grapple with the harsh reality of their newfound existence, with fear gripping their hearts like a vice. The Human League wielded power with ruthless efficiency, much like the Empire had decades earlier. Rumors of dissent were quashed before they could breathe life, dissenters and aliens alike disappearing into the shadows, leaving behind nothing but an eerie silence and murmurs of what could have happened.

As the power that Denosianism held spread throughout system by system, the line between freedom and captivity blurred. Dalicron, once a haven for dreams and aspirations, now stood as a testament to the twisted ambitions of those who reveled in the chaos they wrought. And so, the inhabitants clung to the remnants of hope, their collective heartbeat drumming a desperate rhythm in the face of an impending storm.

The tendrils of their oppressive regime extended into the vast expanse of the Dalicron Sector, a once-flourishing region of interconnected worlds and systems. The shadow of the Human League cast a pall over planets that had known nothing but autonomy and sovereignty under the Council.

Their expansion was swift and methodical, like a relentless storm sweeping across the cosmic tapestry. Subjugating neighboring worlds and systems, little was left in their wake a trail of fear and submission. Planetary leaders, once defiant voices of independence, found themselves either coerced into compliance or swiftly replaced by puppet rulers loyal to the newfound overlords.

The once-diverse cultures that flourished across the Dalicron Sector now faced a uniformity enforced by the League. Striking at the heart of individuality, the group sought to erase the unique tapestry of each and every planet and system, replacing it with a monolithic ideology that brooked no dissent.

Communication channels that once buzzed with interstellar trade and cultural exchange became conduits for propaganda and surveillance. The League orchestrated a symphony of control, with every planet forced to march to the cadence of their authoritative tune.

Resistance movements flickered like distant stars, small and scattered against the overwhelming darkness. These pockets of defiance clung to the hope that unity could stand against tyranny. They quickly became a beacon of collaboration and resistance, to stand in direct defiance of the League.  However, as the areas under rebel control continued to fall one by one, its future remained uncertain. Its denizens yearned for the day when the shadows would lift, and autonomy would be reclaimed from the clutches of oppression.

Leadership

Gander Denos

Gander Denos is the leader of the Human League and chief architect behind the Denosianism movement. Having lived in the Dalicron Sector his entire life of 78 years, he has been a constant presence pushing for the furtherment of the human populations of the sector. Widely considered a radicalist by the former Dalicron Sector High Advisory Council, his persecution by them over the years only helped further fuel his cause.

After many decades of rising poverty among the humans, with constant aid being dispatched to assist worlds outside of the sector dominated by aliens, Gander advocated for a sector-first political push with promises of making Dalicron a strong front once again with its focus in mining and production being at the forefront. He succeeded in bolstering support with the working class, managing to become Chairman of the Council before reforming into the Human League, with the top leaders replaced by loyalists to his cause.

While the citizens of the capital worlds to the south rally to him and his ideals, their lives never having been better with the focus on them, those in the northern stretches of the sector as well as non-humans fear what is to come.

Kael Durran

General Kael Durran is the second-in-command of the Human League and the commander of the Mestiphran military division. At 59 years of age, Kael was previously part of the Imperial Miltiary where he served as a Lieutenant General in the Stormtrooper Corps. Following the downfall of the Empire, he remained in his home sector of Dalicron and worked tirelessly to see it thrive once again. Going as far as getting his own hands dirty, working alongside the engineers and miners, Kael is widely respected by his peers and is known for being one of the staunchest advocates for human rights within the Dalicron Sector. The same can not be said when it comes to non-humans, to which he holds a severe disdain and ruthless hatred toward. Though it can not be proven, rumor has it he has personally ordered the executions of thousands of aliens, even going as far as to sabotage factories, stations, and more to ensure their numbers continue to dwindle even should it damage the production of the League temporarily to do so.

There are some who would say that Kael is the not just the public face of the League, but that they would consider the real leader given his drive and charisma above even that of Gander himself.

Military

Mestiphran

The Mestiphran is a special-forces military organization under the direct command of General Kael Durran, and acts as his right hand. Though it stands as a separate entity from the core military, it is considered superior in that its actions and orders stand above all else, even orders issues by military command. Unironically, the military even stands obligated to obey orders issued by senior officers of the Mestiphran.

Its primary purpose is enforcing the laws and doctrines issued by the Human League, arresting or executing those who go against them. While many of them operate public facing to ensure continued support from the public, there are many other clandestine operations kept very carefully off the books. Those among their ranks are considered the best of the best, and direct engagements are often avoided by rebel forces at all costs. Just the presence alone of the Mestiphran bolsters those who support the League, knowing that the support of Denos and Kael is with them.

Anhinga Fleet

Main article: Anhinga Fleet

The Anhinga Fleet is the primary naval arm of the Human League, headed by Admiral Jarik Gift of the Onager-class Star Destroyer Human. Much of the fleet is a hodge-podge of leftover Imperial vessels, a significant number still in need of repairs and heavy funding to bring back to full power, and thus despite its size is not considered an overly formidable force at this point.

With the size of the fleet however, with more experience, funding, and training, it could easily become one of the most dangerous entities in the Outer Rim if left unchecked.
