The Vanders

"'We Vanders strive to engage in commerce with anyone throughout the universe regardless of differing affiliations and allegiances. This is due to our old tribal saying, 'It is just business' '"― Khaner Van Tie, 1898

The Vanders are an intergalactic trading empire based on ancient tribal principals before the birth of Jesus Christ. Throughout their history, they have experienced economic prosperity mainly due to the competency of their governments, since they were responsible for unifying the separate tribes into one major intergalactic empire. Their governments also allowed for resources to be extracted from Vander soil that were used in the engagement of commerce with other nations and intergalactic powers such as the Skilos and the Qul (a galactic tribal power). Many of the resources were also used in their industrial revolution in 100 BC that enabled the Vanders to be a rather technologically advanced invasion force in contrast to the much technologically inferior Skilos. As of 2021, the Vanders tribal empire system has implemented trading districts on 570 planets in 6 galaxies, making them smaller in contrast to the Skilos. The Vanders are one of the most powerful intergalactic forces in the universe in terms of technological advancement, economic prosperity, governmental competency, and military strength.

Skilos
The Vanders are infamous for engaging in friendly relations with the Skilos, a main adversary throughout most of the Ferhovian, AK, and Nova galaxies as well as the 2,000 Planet Earths. Relations began with the Skilos in 23 BC, through the trading of resources used in the production and distribution of civilian clothing and spices. Later the Vanders attempted to aid in the production of Skilo spaceships. However, the Skilos preferred producing their own spaceships. Despite this, friendly trade relations resumed between the two into the present.

Nova Galaxy
Relations of any kind between these two were non-existent until the Vanders decided to commence an attack on one the Nova Planets, Sindor, in 1823. At least half a space station outside the planet and 14 military installations on the planet were destroyed, in 2 of its countries. The Nova Galaxy’s official military later retaliated by demolishing most of the Vander forces, sent to attempt an invasion of the Nova Galaxy. The remaining forces retreated back to their homes. However, during the turn of the 20th Century, the Vanders began to engage in trade with the Nova Galaxy. The attacks on Planet Sindor were soon dismissed as water under the bridge.
