It served as a proto-state to the future [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. It existed from [[2313]] to [[2341]] before being a founding member of that nascent state. The Protectorate term was later used in an official capacity to describe a much larger region within the Commonwealth borders. ==History and Description== This nation was founded by [[Seth Marsden]] in [[2313]], who had used his interstellar commerce company known as Donegal Freights and Goods to help forge political ties with neighboring worlds.
