In the first few years after the fall of the Cataclysm Machine, the Unity is wracked with war as their member empires are besieged on all sides by the Ruinous Forces. After his immediate leave from Citopia, he commanded the Imperial Navy in conjunction with the military forces of the other empires and successfully repelled the various attacks.

The first course of action is to purge any remaining traces of Chaos and heresy. The second is to restore society and the economy. The Unity completed both objectives in a series of re-conquests that saw its member empires take back their lost territories. The Imperium of Man dubbed this the Second Great Crusade, mirroring their first Great Crusade ten thousand years ago.

From there, the Unity began a massive military buildup that made the hundred Star Dreadnoughts of the Infinite Empire look like mere toys. This had the secondary effect of giving the nascent economy a source of income and employment until it was capable of holding itself without government support. Within fifty years the buildup was complete.

But the leaders of the Unity were aware that they cannot remain in their galaxies and stagnate. After the great wars, they understood that the single way to protect the future of the Unity is to expand outwards. To leave colonies on frontier universes in the situation that the main areas are overrun. And to ensure that the Unity will not stagnate, become weak, and collapse.

As of this moment (500M42, 2303 ABY, etc), the Unity has restored itself to its former glory and is now in an aggressive campaign of expansion and imperialism.

As the shuttle touched down on the landing pad the 501st Legion Clone Troopers streamed out of the troop transports to secure hardpoints, he remembered his task here once again. Begin diplomatic relationships with the government of this galactic civilization and persuade them into forming an alliance with the Infinite Empire, with long plans to absorb it into the Unity.
