After the War of Unification, many AFF supporters, soldiers, and leaders had a bitter taste in their mouth. Looking for a new opportunity, they fled to space. The colonies were young, had no identity, and were politically and ideologically independent of the UEN. This was a perfect place for AFF to settle in and the colonies took on the identity of the former AFF. A cold war started between the UEN and the colonies, now calling themselves the Neo-Allied Freedom Front, or NAFF for short. For 10 years tensions grew, until 2089, when the war that everyone expected finally came.
