The year is 2998. The Terran Confederation, ostensibly a democratic body governed by an elected President and Senate, has been slowly slipping into an oligarchy controlled from the shadows by individuals with great wealth, power, and influence. In protest, a number of sectors on the periphery have come together in a loose alliance known as the Orion League to demand independence from the Confederation. While the societies that make up the Orion League follow diverse and often radically different creeds, all of them are presently united in the fear that, should the central government on Earth gain too much power, they will lose the liberties that have allowed them to continue practicing their ways of life. Thus, they have decided that the best course is to strike out on their own.

Even the Terran loyalists are divided on the best way to resolve the ongoing crisis. While many remain committed to the federal ideals on which the Confederation was founded, a strong faction supporting greater concentration of power in the central government has recently gained power in the Senate, arguing that the very decentralized nature of the present government is what allowed civil war to break out in the first place. In certain circles some voices dare to venture even more extreme opinions, raising the idea that no republican body can provide the stability and security that comes with the firm hand of a charismatic autocrat..

In any case, humanity is on the brink of a massive conflict, the like of which hasn't been seen in almost five centuries — a Crisis of the Confederation.

Crisis of the Confederation is a total conversion Game Mod for Crusader Kings II, altering the setting from the medieval world of centuries past to a futuristic setting in interstellar space. The most recent version of the mod as of April 22nd, 2020 (v0.50) is available through either the Steam Workshop or the ModDB project page, and the developers can be contacted on the mod's thread on the Paradox Interactive forums.

Ck2 Crisis Of The Confederation

This mod provides examples of the following tropes:

Absent Aliens: Humanity's had a thousand years to expand from Earth out into the wider galaxy, but so far no signs of any other sapient beings have been found.
The Alliance: The Orion League, a loose alliance of would-be independent worlds in opposition to the Terran Confederation. While the Republic of the Orion Reach is the linchpin of the League, each member is seeking full independence on its own terms.
Apocalypse How: Through the use of Weapons Of Mass Destruction, it's possble to burn the Earth to the ground, wiping out the homeworld's civilization. Such an act will horrify the entire galaxy (except for the Xenoterrans) so badly that your descendants will forever be tainted with the stigma.
Bilingual Bonus: As explained by Word of Godhere, many factions have names that are Meaningful Names in languages other than English. Most of them are fairly mundane, but one that stands out in particular is Tarka, derived from the tarka sastra Indian school of dialectics that emphasizes logic and reason - an appropriate choice for a faction of Totalitarian UtilitarianCyborgs.

Blood on the Debate Floor: After senate elections, the senators appear in the ruler's court like any other courtier. This means they are susceptible to assassination plots and duel challenges like any other courtier.
Char Clone: Shiro Hasegawa, the brilliant and 'VERY trustworthy' fighter ace of Jion, is the Char in Jion's Gundam homage.
Clone Degeneration: Clones can suffer from defects that slightly impair their health, fertility, and intelligence.
Clone Jesus: The nobles who are propping up the young King Arthur of Avalon claim that he is a clone of the original King Arthur and, in that capacity, effectively is King Arthur returned to rescue his people in their hour of need.
Clones Are People, Too: While clones do tend to inherit the same congenital traits as the original, it's not a guarantee, and their personality is still subject to the foibles of the education system.
Cloning Blues: Clones have less health than non-clones and are generally seen as a bit creepy. That's healthy clones - sometimes you get a defective clone, particularly if you keep xeroxing a clone line like Avalon's rulers have.
Commie Land: The People's State of Strugatsky, an Orion League member founded on the belief that old Russia's downfall began with its abandonment of socialism. Any state ruled by Neo-Socialists are somewhere near this (to varying degrees, Neo-Socialism also covering social democracy backed up by enthusiasm about what modern technology allows), but Strugatsky is the only multi-system state that starts out as Neo-Socialist.
The Coup: In most territories (including the Terran Confederation and its constituent republics) that don't start out under either quasi-feudal or direct military rule, the fleets subordinate to a faction are handled as discrete sub-factions of their own. Should public opinion turn against the civilian leadership significantly, the admirals in charge of these fleets may gain enough legitimacy and support to launch a coup to set themselves up as dictators. A few factions, most notably the Military State of Jion and the Star Kingdom of Avalon, have already undergone violent coups within recent history, bringing Astrists and Neo-Feudalists to power, respectively.
Cyborg: Cybernetic enhancements are available, though expensive. Cyberneticists in particular are ideologically committed to cybernetic transhumanism.
The Cycle of Empires: The mod is explicitly set during the Decay phase of the cycle for the Terran Confederation, with corruption and assorted injustices provoking a secession crisis along its periphery. Whether the crisis results in the Confederation eventually sliding into a Long Night or being reborn in a more vigorous and resilient form is up to the player and the game engine.
Darwinist Desire: The ideology of the Bio-Directionists is all about selectively breeding the best and brightest together to ensure their offspring have the best chance of inheriting good traits, including through inbreeding if necessary.
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The roots of the Astrist movement lie in the fact that many of their founding members spent long periods aboard starships, where any hesitation in following the captain's orders in a crisis could result in getting the entire crew killed. Astrists thus place a high value on both strong central authority and group solidarity.
Democracy Is Bad: An in-universe belief of some on both sides of the Crisis. On the one side, the Astrist separatists favor a highly regimented and overtly military hierarchy based on the relationship between The Captain and the crew aboard a starship (though they aren't necessarily opposed to the method of selecting the supreme leader b
