Zedean Wars: The first genetically modified humans, Zedeans are a highly aggressive offshoot of Humanity, so much so that when the 6th Dionii Wave ended, the Zedeans were forcibly relocated to Somerset Cluster, then a lightly populated region of the Pact. The war started in 6,799 when Pact forces began mandatory recruitment from the planet Zede II at the outbreak of the conflict with the xenophobic Kangas. This fighting began what historians call the Double War, as the growing Pact of Humanity fought a desperate and widespread struggle against both the Zedeans and the Kangas. The Zede conflict ended in 7,917 in the Battle of the Congress System as the Pact Central Fleet under Admiral Rittenhill crushed the Last Fleet of Zede. The planet Austeel was colonized as a forward base against the Zedeans during the war and became a major economic powerhouse within the Pact. Current: Zedeans are infamous throughout Somerset Cluster for their frequent rebellions, and the current rebellion is by far the worst. Nearly three corps have been wiped out by the Zedeans and they are currently building up their military forces. The revolt of this system has cut off  Noueveau Dijon from the rest of the Cluster.  Zedeans are genetically engineered militant humans, similar to Nietzcheans in nature and fantastically violent. Ruled by oligarchy.
