Gaia Union

The **Gaia Union** is a stellar power located somewhere in Milky Way galaxy and one of the supporting members of the United Stellar Alliance, made up of the majority being Human, Mobian and Faunus races who were descendants of the Earth inhabitants adbucted by the Gems thousands of years ago but unlike many taken to the Gem Homeworld, they rebelled and created new homes for themselves. The Union appears to be similar to the Stellar Alliance with a collection of worlds and cultures under a single banner.

## History

### Ancient History

The exact date of origin is unknown to when the Union was established, but seems to go back a few centuries, however they have histories that go far as a few thousand years when the Gem Empire occupied most of Earth before the war. Gems were abducting people of different races: Human, Faunus, and Mobian from their homes to learn about their abilities to fight against the Grimm, but not by their own choice. Inspired by the Crystal Gems and their Rebellion, the prisoners fought back, mutinying against the Gems in the ships they were carried in, caused them to crash land on several nearby planets in a distant part of the Milky Way. With no way of returning to Earth, they slowly began learning the technologies from the Gem ships and the relics of the previous era brought with them, this helped the inhabitants to advance further than they would have on their ancestral planet and grow without the fear of the Grimm.

   Prospered and advanced in the recent centuries, becoming a thriving civilization that eventually took to the stars. While some explored much of the region of space and discovered other worlds inhabited by the descendants of the survivors that also escaped the Gems' control, they tried to reconnect with the other neighbouring worlds, they either cut off all contact to pursue a policy of isolation or simply not as technologically advance as the others for one reason or another. When the people of Freleng, the planet that would become the capital of the Gaia Union first entered the space age made first contact with the United Stellar Alliance, an alliance of dozens of worlds much like the Union but larger that came together for mutual protection from the Gems and other hostile forces and welcomed the Union into the galactic community.

Since joining the Alliance the Gaia Union have followed the same protocols for peaceful contact. working hard to remember their lost history and find the planet of their ancestors.

According to Zadavia, the Gaia Union had endured a series of wars until by the 19th century, the Union was at peace and took the chance to rebuild and thrive once more to become a better voice for the people, even to lighten their prejudice towards the Gems in ways of pursuing peace alongside their allies from fear of becoming no better than others who suffered and fought the Gem Empire, by trying ways to make them understand a better way to co-exist with their galactic neighbours. But by the early 20th century, a war broke out between the Gaia Union and the Triceraton Republic which would prolong for over a century.

Despite these times of conflict, the Gaia Union continued to pursue their plans of creating peacekeeping forces and volunteers willing to protect the weak such as the S-Force from the inspirations of the Paladins of Voltron and offer service into the Stellar Alliance's military in co-op missions. The Council approved this decision to better themselves from the path of war, all but one General who spoked out against the idea of peace with their enemies due to their history towards the Gems, seeing them as a threat to all life and going to so far as to wipe them out completely, going so far as to suggest using the Grimm from Earth as the key to eliminating them but Zadavia and Targon did not agree with his plans and removed him from the force.

The Union were able to trace their origins back to Earth through ancient maps recovered the crash sites of the Gem ships and saw it had not become a colony like most other worlds the Gems invaded. They discovered a colony of Mobians on the planet Mars that had unfortunately been strip-mined by the Plutarkians by the time of the early 21st century. The council granted permission to establish first contact with Earth for the first time in 5,000 of years but chose the select few that were suited for the situation such as Phil Ken Sebben for example to provide aid in their goal to defeat the Grimm.

In 201X, the century long war between the Gaia Union and the Triceratons finally came to an end with the aid of the Utrum ambassadors to establish peace after the overthrow of their leader Zanramon by former gladiator Traximus.

## Culture and Society

The Gaia Union shows a strong relation between many cultures and civilisations much like the Stellar Alliance. Considering the maturity of them are human, Faunus and Mobian who share a strong bond to work together and offer help to others they can. Due to some worlds being less developed or isolated they respected their status and follow protocals of contacting pre-spacefaring civilisations such as Earth.

## Military

The Gaia Union's military appear to show similar ranks to Earth's military such as having Generals, they allow different species to work together as such with the Alliance.

## Technology

So far the Gaia Union’s technology is on below the level of the Gem Empire but have access to mech technology and advanced genetic engineering for medical purposes. They are advance enough to develop interstellar travel to distant parts of the galaxy. Given that long ago the original captives that mutineered and taken the Gem ships, it may perhaps be possible they could reach to a technological advantage from studying the survived debris long ago.

## Relations

**United Stellar Alliance**: The relations between the Stellar Alliance and the Gaia Union appear to be friendly as both seek the ideals of peaceful relations with their galactic neighbors and so far they became allies with them, eventually earned a membership with them.

**Gem Empire:**The history between them had been hostile among many who have similar views towards the Gems for destroying and harvesting planets with no regard for organic life inhabiting those planets. But over time the Union sought to better themselves in to try to reason with them in hopes of changing their ways.

**Triceraton Republic**:

**Plutark Confederation**: An aquatic race who seek out planets to strip mine for resources and considered one of their rivals when they occupied Mars that was a colony of Mobians and aware of their actions.

## Trivia

* The Gaia Union is a stellar government created and owned by Great Celestial Dragon. Making an idea of a coalition of worlds based on the popular sci-fi franchises.
* The concept idea of ancient humans taken to other worlds was likely inspired by Stagate, but also with both *Steven Universe* with humans in the Zoo, and also *Megas XLR* due to many of the characters appear very human.
* It is unknown what their relations are to Earth, but given some facts that a faction of the union could either be the human, Faunus, or Mobian descendants from its distant past. If so the original founders could either have been taken by the Gems, or from the Connected Era but are yet to be confirmed.
* The Union seems fully aware of the Grimm and the threat they posed.
* The size and strength of the GU is uncertain or how far they have spread, but believed to have existed for number of centuries or more.
* In *GrimmFall: Lost to None,* the Gaia Union has been expanded with TMNT 2003 elements of the Federation in it's place with the conflict with the Triceratons.
