The People's Confederacy of Worlds

The People's Confederacy of Worlds, known more commonly simply as the P.C.W. was a political party that rose to prominence in HubSpace approximately twenty-five Standard Measure years ago, although had existed as an entity for at least a decade prior to this.

Their popularity was attributed to their recruitment focus primarily outside of the HighTier Castes, although they did find some minor support amongst those at the higher ends of society.

Infamy and Legacy
The P.C.W. remains well-known to this day, despite their eradication following the Scouring of the Socinope Systems over two decades ago. For the HighTiers, none more so than the OmegaCaste, the P.C.W. remains another reminder of the danger of complacency in management of their LowTier population, particularly so their ZetaCaste stock. As such, many have used this to further restrict the liberties of the lowliest of their subordinates, enacting curfews and supposedly randomised stop-and-search strategies to maintain control. Others instead have turned elsewhere for population management, utilising propagandistic media produced by the Worlds' View Company, and it is speculated that the LysoFexia Incident may have been in part an attempt to produce an airborne pacification system before undisclosed failures led to the subsequent fallout.

None more so find themselves tied to the People's Confederacy than The Order of the Sixteen, known more commonly as the Paladamus to HighTiers and the Hexes to LowTiers.
