The proto-nation was part of a secret plan by then Paladin [[Thaddeus Marik (32nd c.)|Thaddeus Marik]] of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], to create ''[[Pocket Fortress|Safe Neighborhoods]]'' for worlds outside of the [[Fortress Republic]], once Exarch [[Jonah Levin]] enacted the Fortress plans in October [[3135]].  In reality, Thaddeus' goal was not to create "republic friendly neighborhoods", but an attempt to begin the process of unifying the [[Free Worlds League]]. The Covenant Worlds became his home and base of operations for his intentions to unify the other proto-nations of the former Free Worlds League.  However, this failed due to the Senatorial Alliance cutting off his worlds and taking his homeworld of [[Augustine]].

By October [[3137]], Thaddeus Marik felt that the (then) five-world state would not be able to fend off others on its own. Thaddeus traveled on a diplomatic mission to the [[Oriente Protectorate]] to broker an economic and military alliance. The alliance was cemented in a way he had not expected. Instead of just signing an alliance as partners and equals, Thaddeus was asked to marry [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Jessica Marik]], since she wanted to gain a legitimate claim to the Marik name she herself lacked. He accepted the proposal as a strictly political marriage which elevated the Covenant Worlds' status and strengthened the ties between the two nations.
