	'''Tsogyal''' is currently the largest singular producer of plasma within SolFed. It’s centered upon the Tsogyal System which is at the heart of a major anomalous zone making it incredibly rich in plasma and other anomalous materials. Upon its foundation in 2324 The Tsogyal Republic was the first major producer of plasma within human space and for a time held a complete monopoly on the resource. While other sources of plasma have been discovered, their monopoly has remained secure thanks to the Plasma Clique, an alliance of the various major plasma producing members of SolFed that cooperate to ensure the price of plasma is kept stable.

	The '''Libraen Federation''' is one of the largest and most politically influential members of SolFed. A longstanding member of the Center Clique their capital is Librae, formerly known as Beta Librae, with their territory stretching outwards from their capital throughout SolFed space thanks to a constant drive for further expansion from the Libraen government. This imperialist expansion and their pro-corporate stance have left the Libraen Federation with plenty of detractors with the strength of this animosity growing the further one gets from Sol. Power within the Libraen Federation is held primarily by elected officials coming from their systems close to Sol, and their various corporate backers, with the Libraen systems on the peripheries of SolFed space suffering from exploitation from corporations and at times the Libraen government. This has created a wide divide within Libraen society between those living in the highly developed systems and those who reside on the frontiers of Libraen space.

			=== Sol Common ===

			Using the barebones skeleton established in the Sol Union Treaty, The 2212 Linguistic Convergence Act '''formally''' established Sol Common as an inoffensive but robust language, linguistically equidistant from typical Earth languages of the time. Unificationists had already been using various dialects prior to 2212, only formalizing the language as a means to test SolFed's new Senate procedures.

			What would become known as Sol Common was invented in the 2160's by Unificationist linguists to be the language of the bright united future; a universal tongue which all humans could quickly learn that would erase all language barriers to help usher in their dream of unity and prosperity. It would not find mainstream use until the 2212 Linguistic Convergence Act '''formally''' established Sol Common as an inoffensive but robust language for the new Federal bureaucracy and government. For much of SolFed’s early history Sol Common remained simply the language of bureaucrats, first used by those working within the Federation to communicate in a legally-binding fashion regardless of their background, then filtering down to local governments so their officials could {{TooltipInline\|communicate more easily\|Read: read the contracts they're obliged to sign.}} with those employed by SolFed. From there the language would be adopted by Spacers, and then Corporations, and finally your average person. Today Sol Common is spoken as either the first or second language of nearly every citizen of SolFed. In some cases, Common fully supplants local languages, while in others it remains a secondary or even tertiary language. Over the centuries since its creation Sol Common has evolved from its academic origins, diversifying into thousands of regional dialects spoken across the stars. While modern Sol Common is more complex and difficult to learn compared to Old Sol Common, it has truly completed the purpose its designers had intended for it: serving as a universal language for those within SolFed's sphere, and it stands as one of the greatest successes of the Unificationist movement.

			Sol Common sounds like an uneven mix of the most pronounceable Earth phonemes of the 2150s, with common sounds from virtually every language of yesteryear. Persons from the 2100s describe their first time hearing Common as, "overhearing a conversation between five different speakers, only one of whom you understand, and even then they're making jokes built on {{TooltipInline\|sayings you couldn't know.\|They, in turn, sound to modern ears like toddlers, grasping at simple words but occasionally pronouncing "dipolar molecularization" perfectly.}}" As a constructed language, Common favors basic meanings for simple sounds, using further words to elaborate rather than hiding niche nuances between close synonyms. As a living language evolving over several hundred years, countless dialects assign nuances to close synonyms in often contradictory manners, while retaining the core syntactic meaning.
