(5017 tgc) in prelude to the second Thessian-Hogedepi war, the Globkhro Federation disintegrates under the renewed strength of the Hogedepi military. The Federation had provided stability in one of the Expanse's largest former war theatres for many millennia and was widely considered an excellent role model of a diverse and mature government. Historians differ on what issues were most essential to its decay and downfall; some argue that they had become too trusting of their largest neighbour, while others maintain that their defence shortcomings were evidence of a broader dysfunction stemming from gentrification and decadence.
