The Bodark Confederacy (Бодаркская Конфедерация) is a galactic power formed of the Bodark people in Galactus Occident. Having reformed into a united confederation after over 1200 years of division. The Confederacy was a fairly reluctant one, headed by the military strategist Artyom Serebryakov of Tharsis, the Bodark "homeworld", who utilized a mix of diplomacy, coercion and espionage to assimilate the former subject planets of the Stanislavian Empire into the Bodark Confederacy.
The current consolidated semi-independent factions that make up the Bodark Confederacy were once unified under a Czardom known as the Stanislavian Empire, run by the eponymous Stanislavian family, whose detached, obdurate and hedonistic rule drew the ire of their citizenry, who rose up to overthrow the family. Though the entire Stanislavian family was not killed, they were driven into firm exile, and many members and close associates of the family meeting their demise. With newfound independence, the various factions ruled over by the Stanislavians turned to focus on their own immediate struggles, with only partial contact to the other nations.
The Bodark Confederacy was formed out of response of the sudden rise of Fellrux-Astradia, a former Norland colony, to the opposite side of their territory from the Norland Imperium. Fearing the possibility of a second Norland War, the Bodark Confederation was formed as a result, naming themselves after a mythological hero, Bodark, of Tharsis. Over the centuries, the Confederacy maintained its cautious unity under newfound threats; the Sentinel Coalition and The Metallus. Though they are quite unsophisticated technologically, they are known to boast a very high population density and strong nationalistic fervor.
The Bodark Confederacy is a union of fear, anticipation and control, and it is highly effective at ruling in this regard.
