Ethordol Cooperative

The Ethordol Cooperative was a minor interstellar state and the government of the Ethordols, a race of cybernetic beings left behind by an extinct civilization. The Cooperative was likely formed several years or decades before the extinction of the Ethordol Creators as a way to preserve their civilization. Originally believed to be a collective, contact with the Earth Alliance revealed that the Ethordols had developed individuality, and were capable of functioning at a similar level to organic beings. They were first discovered by the Zynarian Empire, who initiated a war of conquest to try and integrate the Ethordols into the empire, but failed to do so. Since that point, Ethordol-Zynarian relations had improved and the two were generally cooperative with each other.
