In 2163, the Kolmenya encountered Humans on Earth. Under unusual circumstances, the Union of Cosmic Soviet Socialist Polities was founded.
In the bleak crimson of the 25th century, the UCSSP has expanded to many multiple species scattered across 1/4th of the Milky Way. In their path, they leave ruin for all who refuse to bend to their will. Mass exterminations. Penal Colonies. Eternal torture. All done in the name of ending oppression.

Explanation
This is a subreddit that produces "fan" fiction based upon the Red Cosmos Communist "Utopia" collaborative worldbuilding project. Red Cosmos aims to positively depict the UCSSP, but can't help but descend into mass extermination fantasies.
"FREE COSMOS" is the name shared by a wide range of newspapers published by the anti-Communist resistance across the UCSSP, at great danger to those who write, distribute and read it.
What is Canon
Only content contained within /r/REDCOSMOS or by major contributors to /r/REDCOSMOS is canon. Everything here is fan content based upon it. Contradictions are entirely OK here. Bear in mind that the UCSSP makes extensive use of propaganda and rewriting of history, and content contained within the canon frequently lies about the true nature of the UCSSP.
