Federation of Three Worlds

The Federation of Three Worlds was an all-powerful government, presumably formed by an alliance between three different civilisations. It was controlled by a Federator. One Federator discovered the planet Manussa during the Sumaran Empire's reign and ended the three hundred year tyranny of the Mara, removing the Great Crystal and banishing it to the Dark Places of the Inside. The Federation still existed five hundred years later. By this time it held Manussa as a colony world. The Federator of this time was married to a woman, Tanha, and had a son Lon. Lon, however, was used by the Mara in an attempt to re-enslave Manussa at the five hundredth anniversary of its banishment. (TV: Snakedance)
