Terran Empire

The **Terran Empire** (Russian: **Терранская Империя**; Chinese: **跌浪帝國**, Dielang Di Guo, Latin: **Imperium Terrae**) was an interstellar state that thrived at the southeastern part of the Galaxy.

## Flag

The flag of the Terran Empire was the same as the flag used during the Great Renewal, an attempt to bomb the planet of Jerde with missiles to destroy everything else that lived on it.

Initially it represented the four corners of the world, but later, the Imperial Terrans used it to represent the Four Lineages, and a proposed division of the Galaxy under their rule.

## History

The Terran Empire was descended from thousands of Terrans, who were exiled from Jerde after their defeat during the Reorganisation War. While some were recruited by the other Galactic civilisations, those Terrans who settled in the southeast sought to create an empire to unleash their hatred.

Their most notorious wars included attacks on the Narivalan civilisation, and Bobby Nefta's theft.

They were ultimately weakened by Narivalan crusades, and destroyed when they and the Igarin Terrans fought each other.

### Nova Terra Imperia

They were also at war with a splinter faction that waged war on another universe, led by Veifang and Invoticus.

This Terran Empire, known as Nova Terra Imperia, waged war against Scorpius Tyle's homeworld. Its capital was Cosmopolis Magnus, an urbanised planet.

The NTI also had a foothold at the northern part of the Galaxy, with the urbanised planet of Mutulland as its last capital before its abandonment and defeat. Although Mutulland is now under Malendor rule, some Terrans waged terrorist attacks on the planet, seeking to create a new Terran Empire to destroy the Galaxy.

## Government

The Terran Empire was a militarist oligarchy.

### Rulers

* Lajem, Chaemes the Insane, Invektoz, Simmodnom the Butcher - led the invasion of Rukthan and the doomed Moimozgerthaz crashlanding.
* Veifang, Invoticus - two emperors that invaded Scorpius' homeworld. Their wars against each other weakened the invasion force, allowing Scorpius' people to defeat the Terran Imperials.
* "Nôvterim", Nauterim - a legendary monarch in Malendor folklore, representing the final emperors of Mutulland and their obsession with monuments. He is actually multiple monarchs who schemed and murdered each other to dominate the ever-fragile Nova Terra Imperia, hence the name.

## Subdivisions

Razvaethoz was one of the four main divisions of the Terran Empire, the source of the Rozqira tongue. It was the one closest to Rukthan and the eastern Malendor realm.

* Paruvral (north) - source of the Inqolez language, a descendant of English. The name "paro vral" means "power over all".
* Razvaethoz (east) - possibly derived from the words "razvaeat" (to scatter) or "razvest" (to bring [to a new order])
* Dzhonsenia (south) - From "chonsien", the Dzhonsenian word for "true reality".
* Alokria (west) - From "hakikrah", the Alokrian word for "the truth".

## Society

Terran Imperials were notorious for their arrogance and hypocrisy.

Whataboutism, deceit, cruelty, and abuse were praised as making a difference. Furthermore, any insult against the Terrans was seen as an attack against all Terran Imperials.

In Terran Imperial society, "Reality" or "The Truth" was a name for a sort of dystopia that the Terrans sought to impose on everyone. It focused on deceit, abuse, ambition, distortion, and greed as the solution to all problems.

### Languages

The Terrans would force people to speak their languages at all times, and any society who refused to use them were accused of attempting to kill the Terrans. Their languages included Inqolez, Rozqira, Dzhonsenian, Alokrian, and a number of others from other dystopian universes: for their association with Terran imperialists, Malendors avoid these languages, while their Konjor enemies actively used them as languages of war and hate.

The four Terran languages of the empire became collectively known as the "Dark Tongue" in Malendor records. In Rukthan, two of those languages were known as "Inqolez" and "Rozqira", used mostly for curses and dramatic performances. So associated with the Terrans, that anyone speaking in those invaders' tongues would be interrogated for any possible ties with the bygone Terrans.

Five other languages were used by other empires who aided the Imperial Terrans: "Moqlovlooh", "Iblun", "Aimalok", "Bluieos", and "Omtura". Unlike the more-widespread languages of the Terrans, they were limited to only those expeditionary forces from other dimensions, so they were now mostly found in historical records.

## Z-emblem

The letter "Z" from the bygone Latin language of its alchemists and scientists was one of its symbols, later modified to look like an hourglass, a clock, or a question mark. In older times, it also appeared during the Terran invasion of Jerde, used by some armies. From the defeat and exile, Terrans later used this symbol to represent their hatred of Jerdiskar and their desire to utterly exterminate them.

The Terran Imperials claimed that their symbol represents destruction, chaos, and reorganisation. As Z was the final letter of the Latin alphabet, so will the Terrans become the end of everything, harbingers of change and ruin who will usher a new and brutal world under their rule.

It was later associated with clocks, hourglasses, and time, representing the Terrans' desire to become the victorious apocalypse that will destroy the whole Galaxy.

Other alphabetical symbols of Terran rule, with more morbid associations added, included W, X, Y, and A. W, X, and Y represent various attempts to overthrow Creation. A represents their new order, a reverse-Denlotia ruled by hate, brutality, obsession, and might.

## Trivia

* The Terran Empire was largely inspired by nationalists, extremists, and online trolls.
	+ Particularly, the aesthetics of the Terran Empire was from those of the Roman Empire, and the beliefs were based on a mixture of extreme American and Russian nationalists, hence the use of Z as a symbol and their languages as causes for war.
* The "Terran Empire" is also the name of a galactic empire from an alternate dimension in Star Trek.
* Other Terrans who survived or had relations with the Terran Empire noted that the four state languages sounded very different from their ancestors.
	+ For example, Alokrian sounds more closer to Phoenician or Punic than its ancestor language, Arabic.
