Terran Republic

Flag of the Terran Republic

The **Terran Republic** (Officially the **Republic of Terra**) was a galactic government located in the Milky Way of Dimension AI-26. It was founded by the survivors of the Decimation of Earth following the creation of the Interregnum

## Etymology

The name Terran was used following the Decimation of Earth to refer to humans who had lived on Earth, to diferentiate them from the Martians, humans who lived on Mars.

## History

### **TDO Regime**

Following the Decimation of Earth, surviving humans settled on the Interregnum, and the TDO decided to take on the duty of the new Human Government. Director Hayes appointed Haig as Governor-General of the TDO regime, who then set up the ten Provinces of the Terran Republic. The TDO organized the formation of provincial governments headed by Governors, which would take care of most of the actual governing.

Under Haig, the Terran Republic saw the construction of mayor cities in the Interregnum, such as Terra City, Madrid and Bordeaux. Terra City was chosen as the capital, and would become the most important city in the Interregnum for decades to come.

#### **HRA War**

Following the foundation of the Terran Republic, the TDO was attacked by an organization known as the Human Reclamation Army, an Anti-Alien, Authoritarian and Militaristic organization which held control of a few starships that deserted the TDO. Lieutenant Heinrich Von Spee and Captain Von Scheer of the TDO were placed in command of Task Force H to track down, destroy and capture their leadership and forces.

Following a short campaign, HRA and TDO forces clashed at Arkan, the capital of the Ark'ain Dominion. The battle was a TDO victory, however General Lloyd George, Leader of the HRA, was not captured, but instead transported through a rift in time (followed by Von Scheer) created by the Eye of Arkan. To avoid having to admit the HRA was not completly defeated, there was a cover-up by Von Spee and the Ark'ain to fabricate evidence that Lloyd George and Von Scheer were killed in battle.

HRA forces that escaped the battle fell under the leadership of Marshal Robert Cunningham, Captain of the TSS Liberator battleship, who would lead the HRA for the coming years.

#### **Hunt for the Invincible**

During the HRA War, Director Hayes and his central command organized an operation to destroy all Vortex or Chimaera remnants near the AI-26 dimension, Jäger was appointed to do this with the help of Admiral Stroner's battlegroup.

After successfully eliminating most enemy threats, the TDO force was met by the desertor of the Vortex and former leader of Chimaera Colonel Schmidt (also known as The Overseer) and his ship the CNS Invincible. After a loss in a battle near the moon, Hayes organized a military operation codenamed Operation Jackal.

Shortly after, the CNS Invincible clashed with Stroner's fleet once again but this time Jäger led a boarding party that killed the Overseer and disabled the shop, later repurposing and integrating it into the Terran Starfleet.

#### **Centauri Incident**

In 1 P.T., a group of Mexican Starships, which were in a state of hibernation following the First Strike, called for aid in the Centauri system. When they arrived to assist, the TDO encountered an anomalous entity from the Ghost Dimension was attacking the ships. After neutralizing the anomaly, the Mexican ships were taken to the Interregnum, where the population of the ships, consisting of several million mexican civillians, started to settle in Marseille Province.

#### **Constitution of the year 3 P.T.**

In the year 3 P.T., Haig organized the creation of the Terran Constitutional Assembly, which created the Constitution of the year 3 P.T.. The new Constitution maintained the provincial governments of the TDO regime, while creating a national government headed by a Chancellor of the Republic.

### **George Administration**

In mid 3 P.T., General George became the new Chancellor of the Republic, with support of Foxist and Centrist forces. He appointed his cabinet and assigned Luigi Fox as his Vice-Chancellor, General George also partook in the organization of the recently assembled Terran Defence Force (the official army of the Republic) and cemented the influence of his own political party, Terran Unity, upon the Terran Congress.

#### **Hades Crusade**

Later the same year, the Cult of Death led by Hades arrived to the Far North of the Milky Way with an armada and an entire army to commit galactic-wide genocide. During this time, the Miskatonic University uncovered a prophecy related the Crusade and the TDO sprung into action in order to stop Hades before he reached Earth.

Jäger, Fox and Aerik were sent on a mission to retrieve Dr. Muñoz in order to fulfill the prophecy. While this ocurred, the Far North was ravaged by Hades' Crusade devastating the majority of the Qu population. Returning to the Interregnum with Dr. Muñoz and MUQ Lantern Sam Lohart, the Republic was ready to face down the enemy. An emergency transmission from another universe uncovered the Vortex support that the Crusade was getting. After the Battle of the Outpost and the retrieval of X, the Sol System was finally invaded.

The First Battle of The Gate meant heavy casualties to the Terran Republic, but ultimately they were victorious and Hades was executed by Chancellor George while the Cosmos Man banished of Uggatha, the God of Death. This victory caused the TDF to be expanded and the formerly hostile HRA to join the Republic.

#### **Terran Civil War**

In 4 P.T., Deputy Pablo Hernández of the Terran Worker's Party was assasinated, with the Terran Security Bureau becoming involved with the investigation. Fox, Jäger and Sam alongside a team of Rangers were sent to the Province of Marseille in order to investigate cult activity and see if they could link it to the assasination. Teaming up with General Falkenhayn, a raid was carried out and Sam was injured and sent back to Terra City.

After reviewing the evidence, none of the major cults of the Interregnum were linked, the next day Falkenhayn attempted to arrest Marshal Fox and General Jäger but the two stole and escaped in a gunship to Terra City. The Terran Provisional Government, led by Governor Hawkins of Rome, Falkenhayn and Cunningham took control of the Eastern Provinces. The Terran High Command deployed the TDF and a Civil War broke out.

Shortly after the betrayal of Falkenhayn, the superior TDF forces crushed Falkenhayn's forces and was captured. Governor Hawkins abandoned Rome and went into hiding while Marshal Cunningham escaped into Kara space with the remaining loyal HRA forces and the TSS Liberator. Cunningham would return to the Sol System with aid from Warlord Hive but would once again be defeated.

#### **Hunt for Hive**

After the Second Battle of The Gate, Terran Representative Hashim Al-Zeydan demanded actions be taken against the Kara Dominion in the Galactic Parliament but recieved no collaboration from the Kara, stating that Hive was a Warlord that was not part of the Karan Military. The rest of the Parliament formed a Task Force to hunt down Cunningham and Hive in hopes of bringing them to justice.

After rallying in the orbit of Mars, Marshal Otto Laake assumed command of the combined forces. The Task Force ventured into Kara territory, fighting and capturing Brigadier General Koch of the Dominion, who impeded their pass through Kara space. They then jumped to another location, finding Hive's base but not the Warlord or the HRA Marshal, they were attacked by cloaked ships and were forced to use alternative tactics to win the skirmish. Ultimately, the terrorist outpost was destroyed in the process.

Prior to returning to Mars however, the Task Force recieved an emergency transmission from the Sol System. Thus began the Battle of the Moon, in which the Task Force and the Terran 1st Fleet finally defeated Cunningham and Hive. While Hive comitted suicide before he could be detained, Cunningham was captured and promptly executed by firing squad under orders from Chancellor George. At the Parliament, Koch was sentenced to twenty years in a Parliament Prison, much to the distaste of the Kara.

#### **Madrid Terrorist Attack**

In November of the same year, Quetzalcoatl awoke from his year long sleep, he warned Sub-Director Winter of Terra Base that Governor Antonio Mora of Madrid was about to be assasinated by Deputy Curtis Hernández of the Radical Party. After the god vanished, the TDO mobilized it's forces to Madrid led by Commander Eclipse.

Meanwhile, Director Mustafa acquired intel regarding the plotted assasination and deployed Rangers to the History of Mexico concert in Madrid. Right in the nick of time, all the forces arrived and Quetzalcoatl saved Mora and his wife who were teleported to a coast near Rome. The explosion caused mass panic in Madrid and General Aleran as well as the Rangers dealt with the situation. The TDO continued the chase and finally surroundedd Mora, his wife and Quetzalcoatl. The god was recontained while Mora and his wife were taken to the Rome Barracks while the TSB searched for Hernández, unsuccessfully.

#### **Void Invasion**

In 5 P.T., the Galactic Parliament planet was decimated by an army of eldritch creatures. Mass panic consumed the Milky Way and when the Cosmos Man arrived the Terran Republic began preparing for the prophetic Void Invasion led by the Cosmos Man's brother, The Reaper.

Most of the action happened outside Sol, but nearing the end of the Invasion, a battle between the Cosmos Man and the Reaper happened in Terra City. With most of the Capitol Force dead and the Cosmos Man defeated the damages were reversed by the Reaper after retrieving the essence of the God of Time with the forceful permission of his brother.

Shortly after, the Moon was destroyed by a rift which began to pour demons led by Curtis Hernández, followed by The Vigilant and his Vortex forces. The Martian and Terran forces combined and clashed in the Third Battle of The Gate. As the Void forces mounted against them, the Cosmos Man returned mid battle with the help of the demigods Quetzalcoatl, Zion and Taurus. With the Vigilant and Curtis Hernández defeated the Cosmos Man was finally able to fight his brother.

During this final encounter, the two siblings merged and the Creator was released, reverting all damages caused by the Void and Void-endorsed forces as well as completing once again the Cosmic Cycle. The Terran and Martian forces were all teleported to a field in the Interregnum alongisde the other revived individuals. After this battle, the TDO mobilized in search of Void forces and with the aid of the Terran Starfleet managed to stop the Moon shards from decimating The Gate.
