**The Terran Republic Mobile Assault Team**, commonly shortened to **TTRMAT**, is a PC multi-gaming clan that supports various games across two gaming divisions. The clan is headed by one CO, Shrew; and two Division Commanders, GunGood and Redfang. It was founded by D3lta0ak on October 9, 2016 as an outfit in PlanetSide 2, then as a multi-gaming clan on June 29, 2017. Each game the clan supports is headed by an OIC (Officer-in-Charge). The clan is governed by TTRMAT High Command under a Clan Constitution and Rules and Regulations.

## History

### Early days

#### Founding

TTRMAT was founded originally in PlanetSide 2. It began as an outfit named **TR Mobal Assult Team** [sic] or **TMAT** for short. Originally, it was only in PlanetSide 2 and never branched out as a multigaming clan until June 29, 2017. The purpose of the clan, at the time, was to reinforce TR forces in PlanetSide, using as little troops as possible to win efficiently.

#### Merge with 121st Liberators

As TMAT, the clan slowly grew as an upcoming outfit in PlanetSide 2, focused on getting behind enemy lines, back-capping bases, and playing competitively with the goal of winning. In March 2017, D3lta0ak came to know GunGood, the leader of a similar, but more casual outfit called 121st Liberators. Gun and Delta would team up in the Server Smash 73 event hosted by the PlanetSide 2 community organization, PlanetSide Battles. As a result, Gun would merge his outfit into TMAT. This sparked the growth of TMAT from a PlanetSide 2 guild into a multigaming clan.

### First Constitution

#### Multigaming Clan

On June 29, 2017, TMAT expanded its horizons into a multigaming clan and became The Terran Republic Mobile Assault Team or TTRMAT. The clan's first division aside from PlanetSide 2, was EVE Online. The EVE Online guild, The Insignia of Light and Darkness, was led by Asuna Aboshi. The second division of TTRMAT was London Z'Rath's War Thunder guild, TR Moble Assault Team, or CXX Squadron. The next division to TTRMAT was Rico's Overwatch group, Imperial Fist.

#### Membership Crisis

Toward the end of Summer in 2017, TTRMAT began experiencing a reduction in member participation and several members left the clan, including Asuna and London, causing their respective divisions to leave the clan also. After the TTRMAT High Command meeting of August 23, 2017, the clan's leaders decided that new leadership may spark a return in membership and clan participation. Delta agreed to step down as CO and promoted GunGood as the new CO of TTRMAT. As a result, the clan saw multiple former members return to its Discord. Delta decided to leave the clan on October 11, 2017.

#### Expansion

Throughout the month of September, TTRMAT's Overwatch division grew greatly as Season Six of Overwatch's competitive season started. On September 20, 2017, TTRMAT began a Civilization division called Strategos Akadimia headed by Grim. This division would later be abolished after Grim could not lead it anymore. Additionally, in September, TTRMAT adopted their first clan logo, which would be replaced after the abolishment of STAK. The logo focussed primarily on the clan's founding game, PlanetSide 2, and incorporated elements from Overwatch and Civilization. On October 4, TTRMAT High Command agreed to abolish the role of External Games Division Commander, since it served little purpose to the clan at that point. In early November, Rico founded Imperial Fist Phalanx, IF's competitive Overwatch sector. On November 29, 2017, the clan approved a new and permanent logo, along with the clan motto, "*Reckless eloquence*." On December 6, 2017, GunGood passed leadership of the clan to Number1Analprober.

#### Changing Ranks

Just one week after his succeeding of GunGood, Number1Analprober and KkPlays0 established a TERA division in TTRMAT called Roselia Guardians which inducted new members into the clan. Imperial Fist also experienced many changes in its leadership throughout the month of December 2017. Additionally, Zelda returned to her position as Discord Head of Staff and began hosting Cards Against Humanity sessions regularly. Also, on January 6, 2018, KkPlays closed his TERA division and opened a Rainbow Six Siege division by the same name as the TERA one. That same month, the decision was made to close the clan's Overwatch division. Also, Shadow became TMAT's new Assistant Division Commander. In addition, Rico stepped down as an XO.

#### Restructuring of TTRMAT High Command

In late January 2018, TTRMAT saw itself restructuring its command system and changing how divisions work. Divisions would now be categories, or genres, of games with numerous titles underneath them. Each game in a division would be led by an Officer-in-Charge, or OIC for short. This restructuring also saw the abolishment of Assistant Division Commanders, Heads of Training, and Heads of Recruitment for each division. It would be up to each OIC to recruit, train, and work with other people in TTRMAT Field Command to make that happen. The first division founded under this new system was Grizzly's RTS/TDM division called the Praetorian Guard. In the process of creating this new structure, KkPlays disbanded his Rainbow Six Siege division and began an RPG division, also called Roselia Guardians. GunGood also undertook the role of FPS Division Commander and began recruiting in Star Wars: Battlefront II, naming the FPS division after the fallen Overwatch division, Imperial Fist. This restructuring also saw the return of TTRMAT's founder, D3lta0ak, to the clan who took Davish's position of PlanetSide 2 Division Commander. Shortly after TTRMAT High Command's restructuring, KkPlays left the clan. DesktopRhyme also became TTRMAT's Rainbow Six Siege OIC.

#### RPG Division Reform

About a month after KK's sudden disappearance, TTRMAT began reorganizing Roselia Guardians. In March 2018, it was decided that Victolabs would succeed Kk as RPG Division Commander and become TTRMAT's first Elite Dangerous OIC. Less than a week after that, Minecraft was implemented into TTRMAT's list of supported games with JimToast and Helten serving as Co-OICs. Just three days afterward, Victolabs was demoted to Zoidfish with Jim assuming the roles of Acting RPG Division Commander and Acting Elite Dangerous OIC. About a week later, Vic reassumed his roles.

#### Further Expansion

In April 2018, Imperial Fist abolished its Rainbow Six Siege sub-division. Additionally, Alpha became the clan's CSGO OIC. On April 18, 2018, Number1Analprober stepped down as CO and passed leadership of the clan to Capernici. Also in April, the Discord Secretary role was abolished, and Zelda was made the third XO of TTRMAT, taking Rico's place. In mid May 2018, Capernici also became the clan's first Factorio OIC.

#### Leadership Crisis

In early May 2018, TTRMAT experienced another crisis during which its PlanetSide 2 leaders left to form their own outfit. Some returned, but High Command once again had to move people around. In the process, Shrew became PlanetSide 2 Division Commander, and TMAT Representative to PlanetSide Battles. Capernici stepped down as CO and was succeeded by LeoCat, assuming an Acting CO position. At the High Command meeting on May 16, 2018, it was decided that the members of TTRMAT would hold an election to determine who would become the next official CO of TTRMAT. The election was between LeoCat, Zelda, and Victolabs. The poll closed on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, at 3:00pm EST with LeoCat as the CO-Elect of TTRMAT. He took office of CO the following Wednesday, May 30, 2018.

#### Recovery

In the aftermath of the May leadership crisis, TTRMAT began recovering by reorganizing its divisions. Gun got back to work in Battlefront, and Alpha was succeeded by Soviet as Counter Strike OIC. Victolabs also stepped down as RPG Division Commander and was succeeded by Deathbygames, who proceeded to start a Space Engineers subdivision. Number1Analprober stepped down as XO due to his personal life, and was succeeded by Shrew. TTRMAT, again, decided to overhaul their Rules and Regulations to make them easier to understand by everyone.

#### Abolishment of the Praetorian Guard

In August of 2018, General LeoCat decided to clean up TTRMAT High Command, relieving many High Command officers of their duties, specifically those whose divisions were inactive or that had made little progress. It was decided that the Praetorian Guard would retire as a division, as well as the Counter Strike OIC, Battlefront OIC, and Space Engineers OIC positions. Factorio would return as an official game of TTRMAT, headed by Deathbygames as its OIC.

### Second Constitution

As of late August 2018, TTRMAT began rewriting their Rules and Regulations as two completely new documents. On the High Command meeting of August 29, 2018, it was decided that TTRMAT Executive Officers and Division Executives would no longer exist. Instead, Division Commanders would act as clan XOs and help administrate the clan. The new constitution was adopted and effective on September 5, 2018.

#### Ranking System Changes

Many of the clan's excessive ranks would become retired, including the ranks of Private First Class, Gunnery Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Captain, and Colonel. The Chief Warrant Officer rank would return to represent former or retired TTRMAT High Command officers.

#### Additional Games

Additional games such as Dungeons and Dragons were supported by TTRMAT, and Overwatch was resurrected as a result of a continuing influx of new members as a result of the less-complicated, easier-to-understand Rules and Regulations that were passed with the adoption of the clan's new Constitution. Additionally, the clan started a Destiny 2 guild in Imperial Fist after the game was free to download for two weeks in November of 2018.

By February of 2019, the Overwatch and Destiny 2 subdivisions of Imperial Fist experienced inactivity. Apex Legends, a free-to-play battle royale game was introduced to breathe life back into the division, with Gazy as its OIC.

On July 29, 2019, Deathbygames was demoted as the RPG Division Commander of Roselia Guardians for inactivity. He was replaced by Molpp, a member of TTRMAT Field Command in PlanetSide 2. On August 18, 2019, Molpp unexpectedly left the clan, leaving OIC Redfang as Acting RPG Division Commander. Redfang would later be fully commissioned in October.

On September 19, 2019, TTRMAT began supporting a new game in PlanetSide Arena with GunGood as its OIC; however, the game itself shutdown on January 10, 2020.

#### Closing of the PlanetSide 2 division

In February 2020, Division Commander Shrew announced that TTRMAT's PlanetSide 2 division, TMAT, would close upon the launch of PlanetSide 2's Escalation update. On March 11, 2020, Escalation launched and the clan's PlanetSide 2 division officially closed.

Upon the abolishment of TMAT, RPG Division Commander Redfang made Shrew his Dungeons and Dragons OIC, so he could retain his seat in TTRMAT High Command.

#### Later years

In August 2020, LeoCat abruptly left. Upon leaving, he promoted Shrew to CO of the clan.

## Leadership

TTRMAT was founded as a military-style multigaming clan with a command structure and a Clan Constitution and set of Rules and Regulations, expected to be followed by all clan members. The clan was based on the principle that if someone stepped down as CO, one of the Division Commanders would immediately take their place and succeed them.

### TTRMAT CO Line of Succession

*Note that if offices are currently vacant, they will be listed in the order in which they were vacated. If a person occupies multiple offices, only the highest-held office will show. Acting officers and non-members of the clan are not eligible for the Line of Succession.*

## Goals of the Clan

TTRMAT prides itself in its members and participation. TTRMAT's members are charged with "maintaining a prejudice and hate-free environment" in addition to promoting free speech and free thought. TTRMAT is also free from any "multi-clanning policies," or "honor codes" other gaming clans may have. Multi-clanning policies being policies in which a player must wear the clan's tags across all games they play that their clan supports; honor codes being codes by which all players swear allegiance or loyalty to their clan, similar to servicemen in the military. Most importantly, TTRMAT promotes stress-free, fun gaming, noting that real life comes before the clan.
