Drea III was approached by the Commonwealth with an invitation to join the galaxy's ruling body. Membership meant accepting the remote governance of the Commonwealth and its tenets, putting away all antiquated religious beliefs, and becoming an active contributor to the good of all members of the Commonwealth. Under the tutelage of the Commonwealth ambassadors and advisers, Drea made several advances towards joining the Commonwealth. They adopted the use and teaching of the Commonwealth language known as Intergalactic Standard, created a United World Council to create unity among the many nations and began working towards technological advances in their space program. The United World Council failed when the smaller nations decided the Commonwealth was trying to destroy their powerbase. A planetwide religious movement failed to give up their beliefs and practices. War broke out. Drea III was deemed unready to join the Commonwealth and banished to remain within the confines of their own atmosphere. Four deadly satellites were placed in orbit around the planet to ensure no space-worthy craft could ever leave the planet again.
