The United Federation of Avalon

Before the Syrneth returned, several thousand Avalons were taken by the Sidhe. The Sidhe had tired of mankind's foolishness and saw no reason to keep protecting a race hell bent on releasing their greatest enemy. However, they hadn't given up on humanity compleatly, so before they left they took a group of favoured Avalons out to the stars.

When rest of the Avalon followed them three hundred years later, the Sidhe deemed them worthy of respect again and guided them to their lost cousins. The refugee Avalon were drawn to a particular system with strange dreams and omens. Upon landing they were reunited with those who were taken by the Sidhe. The resident Avalon had built cities but lived a simple more pastoral life, the refugees brought with them space travel and amazing new technology. Both groups offered something the other had never hoped for. Joining together made both peoples feel whole again.

The Avalon System
Avalon is a star system with several inhabitable planets. However the region is full of strange nebulae and dark matter that leads often to Sidhe places. The most temperate and largest planet is a garden of eden, and the original settlement of those rescued by the Sidhe. When the Avalon were brought to the planet, the Sidhe told them its name was 'Graal' and it was their geas to take care of it. Graal is a beautiful world, and the Avalon have done everything they could to look after it. so despite the head start, Avalon technology is not much more advanced than that of their neighbours. It is however, a lot cleaner and less wasteful. The refugee Avalon brought spaceflight to their cousins and soon the rest of the system was inhabited. Inishmore is a smaller planet inhabited by those who get on better with the Sidhe. The 'Sidhe areas' in the system are all rather close to Inishmore, and strange things are the norm for ships in the area. Those who dislike dealing with the Sidhe settled on the outer areas of the system. The 'Highland Marches' is the name given to a group of small moons with atmospheres that ring the system. Each of these cold bitter places is claimed by a different family who guard their limited resources jealously.

Avalon Ships
The starships of the 'Federation of Avalon' are smooth and sleek in their design. They are among the most comfortable, and are designed as exploration craft rather than war ships. It is rumoured that a few Sidhe join Avalon crews to observe humanity.
