However during the time of the second empires collapse the then empress Scotch Knight began to auction of the land. Thus Chidius came to purchase the land for the Kingdom of Chevkri. Following this action the Radch then known as Caldaria became a province inside of Chevkri. At this time the Kingdom of Chevkri became part of the newly created state The Union of Haven. Soon after doing this though Chevkri collapsed and separated in its original provinces: Caldaria/Radch, Kingdom of Nebula, Laurentides, Umbria, ZTK, Rexhold, and Dande. With this the Radch became an independent state within the Union and immediately set about leaving. After two weeks it did finally becoming its own truly sovereign nation.
