Ministry of Space

The Ministry of Space was a totalitarian evil organisation that initially governed space as a whole. They were a power fighting in the The First Intergalactic War.

Origin
The United States government created the Space Exploration Department in 1971 from the ashes of NASA. After the Mars landing completed, NASA was dissolved and replaced with the SED. As the US was the first country to go past the edges of the solar system, they claimed all of it. The SED changed its name to the Ministry of Space, and seceded from the US. It was run by Malhap Ryohk during the first few months of operation, but leadership was handed to Jenniff Laasen. After Jenniff Laasen died, leadership switched to his children, Erik Laasen and Sora Laasen.

Test initiatives
Millions of innocent people from Earth were harvested and taken to space testing facilities. Most subjects spent over 99% of their time in a solitary confining cage chamber, with nothing to do. Tests were often inhumane and dangerous. This was the primary motivation for the Crimson Robe.

Collapse
The Ministry of Space collapsed with the death of Sora Laasen on the 18th of August, 1979.
