Early Golden Age
After the Great Civil War, the Union had control of only thirty-five colonies. Due to the severe instability of the population, rapid actions were needed to prevent another civil war. A large amount of arms were scrapped due to desperate need for raw materials. By 2562, 50% of the non-glassed Inner Colonies had been reactivated, a total of 120 colonies, along with twelve Outer Colonies. Earth was once again the wealthy capital like it was before the 1st/2nd Battles of Earth. By 2566, the Union had 210 colonies had been restored, and the UFC's population had gone up from approximately eleven billion to fourteen billion.
