The history of The Galactic Cooperative of Worlds is the history of the human race. Even today, its legacy lives on in ways that few of us even notice. Most of us take it for granted each time we charge our frame shift drives or dock with an orbital station.
Many say that the GalCop of long ago was not strong enough, and they may be right; but the organization never tarnished its honor. Our greatest advancements were made during the days of the Old Cooperative. It was in those years that humanity, with one united will, reached for the stars. Despite being faced with great adversity, they flourished.
You may have been to every sector of human space. You may have flown for the Empire as a merchant or a soldier. Perhaps you have been deep in Federation territory to negotiate agreements; no doubt you have also seen firsthand what the Alliance is attempting to build. Yet everywhere, there is still one thing lacking: the true spirit of cooperation. Where has it gone? The Federation and the Empire are locked in a perpetual struggle for power, both internally and against one another. The Alliance has taken successful measures to prevent infighting, but they have isolated themselves in the shadows of dark and foreboding secrets.
The New Galactic Cooperative is something else entirely. It represents the unity that humanity so desperately needs. It exists to make us stronger, not by admitting that one person knows what is best for everyone, but by seeking answers through cooperation. We do not profess to have all the solutions; but if you join with us, together we can leave our mark on history and make the galaxy a better place. We are unstoppable; we are indefatigable; we are the future.
