Indepol Group

The Indepol Group, also known as Indepol, is a nongovernmental organization that aims and dedicates itself to preserve civilization and societies in the Void in the event of a total collapse of civilization by reaching and uniting aware persons and allowing them to take action, establishing well-organized, self-sufficient, self-sustaining and like-minded communities, establishing its own power structure and international trade market, and securing means of communication to bypass restrictions.
Initially starting as a loose organization of cells facing censorship and restrictions and even prosecutions by the various void states, its actions in helping refugees and establishing communities to give the refugees a place and home to live during the Crisis of the 13th Eon touched the hearts of the peoples and citizens of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, especially its government and military, who were moved by Indepol's actions that the NSC government, with full support from its people, invited Indepol to help assist in identifying and rectifying its flaws, later implementing reforms that changed the NSC, and in turn, the Void forever; the federal government of the NSC (formed after transitioning from a unitary state with a central government), as thanks for helping find and rectify the problems, flaws and issues, asked, requested and even begged Indepol to take over several ghost towns and abandoned settlements (their infrastructure still intact and already built) in several worlds initially colonized by the NSC but abandoned during the three Void Wars, Void-Light War and 13th Eon Crisis, with aware NSC citizens and refugees volunteering to help turn them into farm states. Finally, Indepol was recognized and joined by the NSC, an act that further changed the Void. These events combined cause others to follow in the NSC's footsteps, with the Antares Protectorate being the first to follow in its footsteps.
The Indepol Group was involved in a series of long-spanning conflicts where it took in refugees and transported them to farm states, where the refugees can wait out the conflicts and return to their homes or stay in their new homes voluntarily. Indepol is also involved in negotiations, one of which is the Novayan–Saiyanese War, where it sent its representatives to mediate and negotiate for a ceasefire and a peace treaty on board the NSCS Atlas and later oversaw said ceasefire and peace treaty. Indepol also saw involvement in Galaxy Foxtrot-Foxtrot-Alpha during Operation Sovereign Justice where, after the Hosnian cataclysm and at the start of the First Order invasion of the known galaxy, it helped establish well-organized communities in several worlds with assistance from the NSC and several Void Coalition member-states; Indepol would later repeat this during the Yuuzhan Vong War, which saw more refugees being taken into Novaya's and Saiyane's colonial holdings, among which were Zakuul and Byss, with the former seeing deployment of NSC military combat ground and air units to clear several forested areas of any hostile wildlife as well as clearing the forested areas of trees to allow for the construction of farm states.
==Etymology==
The name Indepol is a portmanteu of the words "independent" and "politics" or "polity".
==History==
===Formation and expansion===
After the Celestial Sundering, many worlds were scattered in the Void, some with civilizations and others with deteriorating or collapsing civilizations. Armanya was one of those worlds experiencing a series of upheavals, and it was this world that the Indepol Group was founded.
Indepol was founded by a group of individuals concerned with the future of Armanya's civilization. Headed by Mark Jacob and under the "Indepol Project", the small group of individuals gathered aware persons and lead teams to the different corners of Armanya to help establish cells with which they can help make "submissive" persons become aware of the international elite rule, the degenerecy, corruption and influence of the "leftist madness and right-wing fascist-authoritarian madness", so-called "mass replacement," a collapsing world economy, and the collapsing civilization under the leadership of incompetent and treacherous politicians. Those who became aware of what's happening in Armanya - any politicians, business leaders, military personnel, law enforcement officers, religious figures, and civilians with a realistic mindset and who became aware of the brutal reality of Armanya's deterioration - aligned themselves with the Indepol Project, even though doing so would make them ridiculed by others who were unaware of the situation and sought to make Indepol's supporters and members weak by discouraging them from the project. As part of its mission to preserve Armanya's civilization, settlements which were abandoned were purchased by Indepol, which then upgraded the abandoned settlements' infrastructures, and transformed into farm states. A cover-up business company was set up to allow Indepol to focus on its projects in peace. Taverns were set up to help aware people socialize in special activities. Farmers and survivors were trained in case of a global civilization collapse.
The International Union, an intergovernmental organization tied up by red tape, finally united the nations of Armanya. While many supporters and members of Indepol believed they are no longer needed, the most powerful nations of Armanya launched interplanetary missions which saw the establishment of colonies on Runa and Maryuka, Armanya's two moons, and Marsh, with the latter seeing terraforming and the transfer of the governance of colonies from Armanyan-appointed governors and officials to corporations, who appointed their own governors to head those colonies and prosper from those colonies, to the expense of the colonists. Realizing that the international ruling elite still remained, Indepol expanded its mission to the disgruntled colonists, helping them establish self-sustaining, self-governing and self-sufficient communities in the more distant parts of Marsh. Transportation is done by Indepol supporters, as well as logistics, and taverns were established in megacities dotting and spanning the coastlines to help aware individuals escape or, in the case of aware public servants and politicians, help prepare for elections and reveal the corruption, graft and greed of the corporations and their lackeys.
Indepol continued doing this after the International Union, now reformed into the International Union of Nations, began spreading out into the stars. With the existence of independent interstellar nations and empires and some of them having similar corrupt government systems or having slavery, displacement or exterminations as part of their government policies, Indepol's volunteers traveled to these nations and empires to help make its peoples aware of what's going on and save and evacuate as many people as they can.
===#Indeprosecutions and #Indepersecutions===
As Indepol continued with its mission, there are many which feared that Indepol may cause a series of upheavals and revolutions. Some people who feared their culture and government were threatened called in the police to arrest them, and asking their governments to send in the military to remove them from their homes. It was only when Indepol's true mission was revealed did many nations, which wanted to keep their systems intact and remain "uncorrupted", launch a great persecution of those believed to be supporters and members of Indepol.
Though the Indeprosecutions saw cease-and-desist letters sent to Indepol and censorships, it took a dark and grim turn when the Confederation of Man and several other xenophobic nations launched military operations and police raids against Indepol's farm states and taverns, which saw the capture and execution of Indepol's members and supporters and the elimination of those who were influenced by Indepol. Despite this, Indepol's supporters and members adapted by making its influence and presence more obscure and even meeting up in dark places. The Indeprosecutions continued until the Crisis of the 13th Eon and events after the war.
===Void-Light War===
Though Indepol is experiencing massive persecutions, it was involved in establishing communities for the affected refugees under the guise of charity groups. Although the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth's Federal Police Service and Foreign Intelligence Service launched a series of probes into Indepol's established communities of refugees, the NSC's central government ordered that the Indepol communities of refugees are not to be engaged and raided, even during the war, as doing so will put the NSC in a negative light. This event would later be seen as a major turn in the Indepersecutions.
===Crisis of the 13th Eon and aftermath===
The Crisis of the 13th Eon saw a massive halt on the Indepersecutions perpetrated by many nations, which were caught off-guard when the Death Cults of Meriana and their allies and supporters began their invasion of the known Void. When refugees began arriving in from worlds under assault from the Death Cults of Meriana, Indepol sent teams to several worlds, especially those under the NSC, to help establish farm states, disguised as communities, for the refugees to live in. Despite reports of Indepol's activities, the NSC government sent a delegation, disguised as a group of civilian tourists, to Indepol's HQ in Polania, Armanya, and ordered that all NSC military police and FPS units are not to raid any Indepol farm states, threatening to disavow or imprison those who did so. The delegation and Mark Jacob began talks on questions regarding Indepol and its mission, why it was formed, and what does it want.
Meanwhile, as the NSC-Indepol talks were ongoing, more refugees began overwhelming cities and towns which were unable to handle the large numbers of refugees, and resources, logistics, transportation and manufacturing became so overwhelmed by the refugee crisis that it is putting a strain on any world's capability to house, feed, heal and transport refugees. The NSC delegation to Indepol, upon receiving word of the refugee crisis, soon asked Mark Jacob and his staff if they have any teams to spare. Though wary of the Indepersecutions, they agreed to their request, but stated that Indepol's persecutions in the NSC be halted, a condition the NSC delegation accepted and forwarded to the NSC government, which, despite its reluctance, agreed.
Indepol trained, formed and sent teams to the NSC to help establish organized, like-minded, self-sufficient, self-sustaining and self-governing communities for the refugees to live in. Transportation is done by private and public transportation services, transport owners and even volunteers. Civilians donated food, medicine, water, clothes, and tents to Indepol, while other civilians volunteered to help build and police farm states. Though the NSC is wary of what Indepol is supposedly thought to be doing, random visits by NSC citizens, military personnel, agents and even law enforcement officers gave out positive reports of what Indepol is doing. NSC local government officials, military personnel, civilian leaders and religious figures interviewed with the refugees and teams working in farm states, and even newsreporters interviewed with said refugees and Indepol team leaders. News of what Indepol actually wanted to do - securing a future for civilization in the Void and helping those escape from the cruel, brutal reality of the different yet corrupt government systems - shook the NSC's peoples and even the government, which had thought that Indepol wanted nothing but complete anarchy. After interviews which were released confirmed Indepol's involvement in the Void-Light War, where Indepol built communities to house refugees fleeing from the Armies of the Light, and the reason why Mark Jacob sought to preserve civilization, the NSC, warmed by Indepol's actions, launched a series of offensives against the Death Cults of Meriana; such offensives helped break the stalemate that plagued the Coalition of the Void. Because of this, the NSC rallied the entirety of the Void to war against the Death Cults and their reanimated armies.
====Indepol's Got A Friend in the NSC====
After the Coalition of the Void, with help from the Knights of Meriana, crushed the Death Cults of Meriana and took over the Meriana system to help reestablish the Kingdom of Meriana of old, Indepol was invited by the NSC government to the Volkshalle Complex. When Mark Jacob and his fellow colleagues went there, Grand Marshal Maria-Aleksandra Norsoutha and Admiral of the Navy Dan Horton asked them to help identify the issues and problems the NSC is facing post-war. Surprised, Mark Jacob asked why they needed Indepol's help, and Daniel Norsoutha, the 1st Grand Marshal of the NSC, revealed that problems hampered the NSC from its slow construction to a deteriorating centralized-planned/centrally-planned command economy, corruption in the government and military, lack of (or little to no amounts of) benefits of NSC public services to civilians, the massive paperworks and bureaucratic red tapes, and a massively-bloated military with a massively-bloated military budget. Convinced, Mark Jacob and his colleagues agreed to their request. Teams were sent to identify the problems and provide advice and proposals and suggestions to the NSC government.
Through the efforts of Indepol, the NSC was able to identify the problems that plagued it and rectified those problems by reforming itself from the ground up, starting with its government, economy, services, police and military; the reforms and the adoption of social democracy, as suggested by Indepol, helped make the NSC much more flexible. Much of the NSC's military budget were transferred to education, healthcare, industry and services, and social policy budgets, giving the NSC's citizens the benefits they so wanted. For the NSC Armed Forces, cuts were made on the military budget and between 70-80% of its active military personnel were transferred to the military reserve forces, allowing the military reservists to acquire civilian jobs and the NSC military's research and development groups to perform small-scale military projects.
As part of the reforms, Indepol's teams advised the NSC government, which refused to let go of its pre-13th Eon Crisis territories but were willing to accept proposals (and even alterantives), to adopt federalism and give autonomy to end revolts, causing the NSC's national territory to be divided into thirteen commissariats, which contain numbers of regions and territories. Finally, Indepol proposed that the NSC adopt robotics and start reducing or removing state regulations imposed on its economy and reform and humanize capitalism by aligning it with the ideals of social welfare while maintaining the capitalist mode of production. Through Indepol's advice and help, the NSC became more effective and even much more flexible. As thanks for helping the NSC pass reforms, NSC persecutions against Indepol ended, and Indepol was granted several worlds where there were settlements long-maintained but abandoned due to economic depressions or wars, preventing their complete colonization, and granted settlements which were abandoned. Taken by surprise, Mark Jacob and his colleagues accepted the rewards.
While many nations believed that Indepol and NSC collectively made lies about the group helping the latter make reforms, those who have seen its actions during the crisis felt their hearts warmed and, as a result, aligned themselves with Indepol; the Antares Protectorate, an NSC puppet state, was the first to follow the NSC's footsteps, and this led the NSC's federal government to turn Antares from a puppet state to a satellite state. Indepol was involved in transforming the Coalition of the Void from a wartime alliance into an intergovernmental organization called the International Union of Void States, also known as the Void Coalition. But soon, the many nations which refused to let go of their corrupt and ineffective government systems began experiencing the same problems the NSC had pre-reforms. While blaming and deflecting blame on the NSC and Indepol for their "lies", their peoples knew that Indepol's proposals, suggestions and advice to the NSC were what allowed the Novayans to still stand. Some refused to change before collapsing, necessitating the NSC Armed Forces to deploy peacekeepers to the collapsed nations and empires, while others followed the path the NSC chose.
Not long after Indepol established its own power structure, international organization and corporation, and international trade market, the NSC took it and the entirety of the Void by surprise by announcing its recognition of and joining Indepol's organization. No one in Indepol, not even Mark Jacob, saw that coming, but they welcomed the news. NSC citizens, politicians, and retired military personnel and law enforcement officers became involved in helping with Indepol's farm states, acting as drivers, pilots, teachers, and security guards.
