- This article is about the lore background of the CONCORD Assembly. For the game mechanics related to the in-game CONCORD Assembly faction, see CONCORD.
The Consolidated Cooperation and Relations Command Assembly, or CONCORD Assembly, was founded over a century ago, after the five empires initially established contact with each other.
From the outset, interstellar relations were strained. In light of this, the primary mandate of an agency such as CONCORD was to ease tensions and lay the groundwork for peaceful cooperation among the empires. This endeavor is widely regarded as a success. Although several flare-ups have occurred, and the empires have, on occasion, come to blows since CONCORD’s formation, an outbreak of all-out war has been averted through careful mediation and negotiation.
