Republic of Mandakir

The **Republic of Mandakir** is one of the original colonies in the Antares System and a constituent nation of the Antares Confederacy.

## History

Named for the largest river on Lindiwe, the settlements that would eventually become the Republic of Mandakir existed as a tight-knit community spread across its delta. The emergence of a previously unknown species of insect, and the plague they carried, is estimated to have killed more than 30% of the Site’s population before a cure was eventually found.

This initial catastrophe led to the rise of an autocratic regime that attempted to invest heavily into industrial developments. This government would eventually collapse following contact with the neighboring Republic of Maltuan and the Republic of Chengatai. Successive governments since then have been marked by political turmoil and a series of bloodless coups.

Despite uneven economic reforms and a number of unsuccessful infrastructure projects, Mandakir’s levels of poverty have reduced significantly. The nation is also rapidly reinvesting in its antiquated but reliable heavy industry, hoping to benefit from the Second Colonization Campaigns.

## Culture

Leaked information from the Vrul War sparked protests in Mandakir, among many protests across the Confederacy.

In the years after the conquest of the Vrul, Mandakir hosted the Mandakir International Engineering Fair, an intra-Confederate fair to show the technological advancements of each constituent nation.

## Politics

Mandakir's unique take on socialism has been called "A model for all the confederacy" by the Prime Minister of Antares.

## Economy

Mandakir is home to Mandakir Orbital Lift ( MOL ) which is used to transport cargo and passengers on the orbit of Lindiwe.

## Geography

The Republic of Mandakir is located on the moon Lindiwe, orbiting the great gas giant Bao, which in turns orbits Abeni — the main star of the Antares System. Mandakir shares Lindiwe with the Republic of Maltuan and the Republic of Alfjari-Vet.

Vrul Occupation Zone

The Vrul Occupation Zone was the name given to the occupied territory of the Vrul Salvation League after it's dissolution following the Vrul War.

The occupation zone gave way to the Vrul Republic, being the first attempt to democratize Vrul Space, however the former Salvation League still had many supporters is the Republic that eventually lauched a coup, following a short period of self government.
Terran Commissariats

The Greater Terran Union is composed of several semi-autonomous interstellar commissariats and civilian governments overtly blended with the military chain of command. The Interstellar Commissariats are different from the Homeworld Commissariats of Earth, and are inherently malleable tools for the national government to manage its interstellar affairs.

Every commissariat official holds dual civilian and military ranks allowed by their citizenship tier. A commissariat is governed by a Commissar-General, often a Marshall, who is appointed by the High Marshal and approved by the Commissariat's Regional Assembly. Most powers in these regional governments are vested in the Commissar-General's Office, with the Regional Assembly channeling the will of popular sentiment, business interests, scientific and non-governmental organizations.

Commissariats may be created, expanded, reduced, or dissolved by order of the High Marshal and on approval of the National Assembly. By the late 27th century the GTU had a half-dozen or so interstellar commissariats, along with newly acquired territories that would likely later be reformed into new ones.

More commissariats were formed after the War in Heaven, with the Florian Commissariat the first among them, which was composed of the former Florian Matriarchy. Some new commissariats were formed from conquered regions of the Milky Way, while others were formed from voluntary annexations of relatively weak galactic powers.

The Core Sector, centered on the Sol System and early GTU colonies are exempt from the Commissariat system, have no self-governance and are ruled directly by the National Assembly. Highly important but lightly or uninhabited systems, such as the L-Cluster or the Xani Core World are governed as part of the Core Sector as well.

Occasionally the GTU would retain conquered regions as Occupation Zones, without formally including them in the Union. These regions were ruled by martial law, and were either a step towards integration as full commissariats, or an end to their occupation and release as Terran Protectorates.

### The meaning of the word "Commissariat"

Terran Commissariats should not be confused with other meanings of the word commissariat. The commissariats of the GTU are political/military subdivisions of the GTU, with no almost separation between civil government and the military. Possibly confused meanings include:

* A police station.
* A logistics unit which provides military units with food and supplies.
* Russian/USSR military commissariats, charged with military administrative actives.
* People's Commissariats of the USSR, akin to government ministries rather than territorial governments.
* Political Commissars, individuals charged with overseeing political orthodoxy in military units.
Antares Community

The Antares Community was a supernational union formed by the Republic of Retiva.

## History

Formed within a decade of Reunion Day the Antares Community competed against the Jut Fareed-led Association of Antares Nations and the Chengatai-led Ariko Pact for political and economic influence among the nations of Antares.

While the benefits offered by the Antares Community were considerable, the increasing tension between the Community and its competitors only served to alienate many of the neutral nations they were attempting to influence. On March 1st, 164 A.L., the Republic of Maltuan, the Republic of Sabmadi and the Free State of Sagallo, and the Union of Thanh-Jenal, established the competing Non-Aligned Movement of Antares. The Non-Aligned Movement quickly became the largest in the system, with many of the remaining neutral nations joining the new institution.

By 189 A.L. all members of the Antares Community except the Republic of Retiva had left and had instead joined the Non-Aligned Movement. On September 4th, 191 A.L., The Republic of Retiva dissolved the Antares Community and, alongside the Federation of Jut Fareed, and the Republic of Chengatai, was unofficially accepted into the Non-Aligned Movement, which, as a face-saving measure was immediately dissolved. Instead, the Antares Assembly underwent a complete reform, adopting both the structure, laws and decorum of the Non-Aligned Movement. This led to the establishment of the Antares Confederacy 11 years later.

Water Crimes Division

The Water Crimes Division is a highly influential sect of the Greater Terran Union's law enforcement department. The Water Crimes division makes sure that the GTU's citizens (or low tiered citizens/slaves), don't use more water then they are allotted by their citizenship tier.

## History

2153 - Probably the rest of the universe

After the Great Defensive War in 2153, and the Greater Terran Union was established in order to conserve already dwindling resources. The Marshalls ruled that they needed to create several laws to guaranteed the survival of the Human race. One of which was a law that decided that depending on a citizens standing in society they would be allotted a certain amount of water, for many different things like showering or drinking. And in order to make sure the GTU's citizens adhere to the new law, the Water crimes division was established. The greatest challenge the Water Crimes Division ever faced, was the Great AI rebellion were the Marshall's declared that all water rationing in the GTU was nullified, and in the aftermath of the rebellion many citizens refused to go back to their old rationing life.

## Deployment

The WCD can be found present on all parts of Greater Terran Union society, including, the GTU's colonies across their controlled quadrants of space, the military and scientific outposts littered throughout Terran space, and even their war and scientific ships. So in order to route out the scum of water criminals water officers often will keep themselves hidden usually as old humans or something harmless. For example, Mrs. Rothfeller who's been undercover investigating one of her neighbors who has been suspected of buying illegal shower heads and using non-GTU approved towels.
Moya Pact

The Moya Pact was a mutual defense pact between the Antares Confederacy and Cloister of the Spirits. some other members were incorporated such as the Madarishian People's Federation, Kelan Confederation of Clans and the Free States of Briion

The pact was eventually dissolved, however both nations still enjoyed good relations.

During its existence the Moya Pact was part of military operations against the Anthorian Empire and the Beldross Empire.
Nordic Commissariat

Flag of the Nordic Commissariat

Largely spared from the direct effects of the Tyrum War, Scandinavia became home to tens of millions of refugees during the conflict, as well as many of humanity's greatest achievements in the arts, hastily evacuated from museums and preserved in arctic vaults. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is credited with restoring worldwide agriculture and was again relied on during the earliest days of interstellar colonization. The generous welfare systems of the Union’s tiered citizenship structure were based in part on the so called “Nordic Model” and today the Nordic Commissariat is one of the most advanced local economies in the GTU.

The flag of the Nordic Commissariat incorporates the colors of its former constituent nations. The colours themselves have no official meaning. It was adopted in 2154

Ryan's Raiders

**Ryan's Raiders (VVS-989)** is a fleet level formation of Fleet Command, and the longest continually commissioned fleet after the Terran Home Fleet. Ryan's Raiders was formed in the year 2226 shortly before the outbreak of the First Terran-Compact War while it was a part of Air Command would construct Verdun Fortress and be create a secondary defense force for the station. It's origin was among the small formation of picket ships assigned to the Verdun fortress on the borders of the Greater Terran Union and the Algan Republic, and was responsible for carrying out lightning raids across the border to harass Algan shipping and seize isolated systems. They are most famous for capturing the Sadarti System, the Tyrum's homeworld system. The fleet would go on to exist in various sizes for centuries, and participate in every major war involving the GTU.
League of Non Aligned Powers

The League of Non Aligned Powers, or simply "The League", or "The Coalition" was created from an alliance of the Greater Terran Union and the other races of the galaxy on May 29th, 2615 with the signing of the Solar Accords. It came as a response to the sudden assault by the Awakened Empires upon the younger races of the galaxy following the rejection of demands made by the Jaz Gavaz and Xani by the GTU. The coalition rapidly expanded to encompass 80% of the Galaxy in a loose confederation. Unlike previous federations, the Coalition was not a political union so much as a coordinating body for the massive war efforts against the galaxy wide threat of the Awakened Empires and later the Unbidden. The headquarters of the Coalition is located in London, on Earth.

Following the War in Heaven, the League largely fell apart as the immediate need for a general coordinating body to defend the galaxy was lost. However, the Greater Terran Union refused to repudiate the Solar Accords, and came to view the terms of the compact as granting the GTU authority to intervene upon the request of any sentient race in the galaxy. The first instance of this would be in 47 AWH, when the Kingdom of Partoga would request GTU intervention in dealing with the sudden resurgence of the Priki-ti-ki. The Priki Pacification campaign would serve the dual purpose of affirming the continued enforcement of the Solar Accords post war in heaven, as well as allowing for any interstellar polity to affirm its ties to the GTU. The first example of this being the surviving systems of the Stellar Axis who would request protection from their enemies by the GTU.

Over the ensuing centuries that came to be known as the Unification Campaigns the League would become the primary influence network of the GTU over GTU inspired governments and protectorates across the Galaxy. As the preeminent power, the GTU would use its authority under the Solar Treaty to expand its influence in the member nations, which ultimately led to the unification of all interstellar polities in the Milky Way under the banner of the GTU.
Battlegroup Styx

Battlegroup Styx was created following the first Terran-Florian war with the realization that the Terminal Egress could not be left undefended. This oversight by Fleet Command had allowed the Florian Matriarchy to utilize their own L-Gate to launch a surprise invasion of the GTU through the L-Cluster. The new fleet, named for the Styx System in which it resided was nominally intended to be a purely defensive formation. However, its position at the heart of the L-Gate network meant that it was often the fleet capable of rapid deployment anywhere in the Galaxy in the quickest amount of time, leading to it serving more as a quick reaction force rather then a defense line.
Political Factions

### Summary:

Within the GTU, there exists many different political factions. These factions rely on the approval of the Marshals, if they wish to participate in high level political discussion, debate and elections.

### Known Factions:

There are 6 known factions within the GTU

Strength through Unity League, Authoritarian

Terran Legion, Militarist,

Humanity Unity Front, Xenophobe

Galactic Emancipation Organization, Xenophile

Free Thought Faction, Egalitarian

Trade and Gain Faction, Materialist
Irassian Concordat

## Discovery

Remnants of Ancient Civilization known as the Irassian Concordat discovered has been discovered in 2200 on Alpha Centauri, sending panic throughout the Greater Terran Union.

The Irassians were a mammalian species that were active in the Milky Way millions of years ago. They formed a powerful empire called the Irassian Concordat by subjugating many of the alien species around them and turning them into client species through a strong military and sophisticated intelligence techniques. Later on in their history, disease called the Javorian Pox spread across their empire, causing it to go into chaos. After many futile attempts to stop the disease, the Irassians were driven extinct, with the only remnants of their empire being scattered relics and their barren homeworld of Irassia.

A Knock on the Wrong Door

A Knock on the Wrong Door was first unveiled aboard Triumph Station to coincide with the 600th anniversary of the Greater Terran Union, A Knock on the Wrong Door depicts the destruction of Byrum in spectacular detail. The painting became famous after its selection by Tryjan, Daughter of Enim to hang within the office of the High Marshall, and would later be moved to the national gallery after her term where it remains on display to this day. The piece also cemented artist Joan Piqué Llorens as one of the most famous and influential figures within Terran art history, who contributed immensely to the foundation of Post-Nationalist-Surrealism.

Torix

Ethceron IVa, more commonly known as Torix, is a moon situated within the borders of the Antares Confederacy. Formerly the capital planet of the Vrul Salvation League, Torix was liberated during the Vrul war in 258AL. The day confederacy land forces would make planetfall on Torix is commonly known as liberation day by citizens of the confederacy.

Torix is now home to the Republic of Torix.
Terran Military General Orders

Distinct from direct orders or branch general orders, General Regulation Orders to the Greater Terran Union Armed Forces are indefinite standing orders that apply to all service members of every branch and rank. They hold the weight of the National Council itself, and are intended as a universal standard for excellent and efficient performance when deployed. They were instituted upon the founding of Land Force Command, and remained in place unaltered until 2756, when High Marshal Tryjan eliminated species requirements for citizenship tier. This change to doctrine required minor edits to make the language more species-neutral.

## Primary General Regulation Orders

1. Execute and defer to all assigned special orders.
2. Take responsibility for all assets and Union property within one's ability to defend and within the confines of assigned special orders.
3. Achieve and maintain the greatest reasonable awareness of relevant factors to continued Union operation and military conduct by oneself within the confines of assigned special orders.
4. Refer knowledge of all infractions against Union operation and military conduct to the appropriate commanding officer.
5. Forsake the responsibilities held within one's assigned special orders only upon the confirmation of a relieving sentry from a commanding officer.
6. Take the utmost care to comprehend and relay all orders from a commanding officer to the relieving sentry upon one's relief.
7. Give alarm to allies in the case of disorder.
8. Do not initiate or reciprocate physical or verbal contact with any intelligence not in uniform unless instructed by assigned special orders.
9. Defer to the appropriate commanding officer for any case not accounted for in one's assigned special orders.
10. Salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.
11. Defer to the April Protocol immediately in the event of contact with an unregistered organism or viable para-organic system.

## Secondary General Regulation Orders

These include branch-specific general orders, standards of social and ceremonial protocol, and updated general orders relayed from the High Marshal.
Styx System

The Styx system is a star system located within the extra-galactic L-Cluster. The system is the terminal egress of the L-Gate network that was unlocked by the Greater Terran Union in 2469. Through the L-Gates, Styx connects directly to every quadrant of the Milky Way, giving it massive strategic importance. This importance led to the formation of Battlegroup Styx to be on permanent assignment to the system. It also led to the system being the location for the largest battle in galactic history, the Battle of Styx.
Homeworld Commissariats/European Commissariat

Flag of the European Commissariat

The European Federation was at the forefront of worldwide resistance against the Tyrum and the first to grant full authority to the emergency military coalition. Historically fragmented across dozens of nation-states, the establishment and government of the European Federation in 2034 was closely studied and emulated during the founding of the Greater Terran Union. Highly diversified even compared to colonial worlds, the Commissariat possesses many financial sectors, agricultural territories, and energy reserves. The Kiel Orbital Shipyards, located in geosynchronous orbit above the historic city, was for a time the largest of its kind in the Union and remains a high-tech shipbuilding center.

The flag of the European Commissariat was closely modeled on the former flag of Europe. While no formal interpretation has ever been made official, the blue is generally said to represent the shared skies of humanity, truth and intellect, while the gold represents glory and enlightenment.
Vrul Republic

The Vrul Republic was a nation formed from the Vrul Occupation Zone, it was later dissolved and reformed as the Republic of Torix following a rise in Vrul Salvation League supporters.

A Coalition was formed by the Antares Confederacy and Cloister of the Spirit, following an attempt by the Salvation League supporters to cease property and expel aliens from Vrull Space¹.

Marcia Fieldman

Marcia Fieldman was the 14th High Marshall of the Greater Terran Union, serving for a partial term and then a full term from 2626 to 2663. Her term encompassed most of the War in Heaven and its aftermath, and as consequence she is considered one of the most influential High Marshals in GTU history.

## High Marshall

In the face of such an overwhelming threat to the human species, and the need for navigating the treacherous waters of galactic politics, the National Council chose to elect Marcia as the 14th High Marshall to replace Dinkma. The reasoning given that it was absolutely critical for the Current High Marshall to be someone knowledgeable in both the sciences and alien cultures. One of the first actions Marcia took would be to appoint Admiral Enim, Son of Roston commander of the Federated coalition battle group. This was done knowing full well the suspicion most Alien species still held towards the humans. Putting a Wessari as the face of the war effort would do much to mitigate this limitation.

As the war progressed, Marcia also became increasingly determined to secure the ancient technologies of the Jaz Gavaz and the Xani for the Union, lamenting the wholesale destruction that had thus far been conducted. On her orders, the calamitous Battle of Core would be initiated in order to secure this knowledge. Knowledge secured at great price. Ultimately the GTU would prevail in the war in Heaven, and Marcia would oversee its immediate aftermath in dealing with the massive influx of Alien refugees and the need to integrate the protectorates.

## Legacy

As the High Marshall who presided over the bulk of the War in Heaven, among humanity Marcia Fieldman is viewed as one of the most consequential humans to have ever lived. Marcia Fieldman was instrumental in the formation of the League of Non-Aligned powers, the victory of the GTU in the Second Galactic War, and set the groundwork of the Unification Campaigns that would bring the entire galaxy into the Terran Union.
Vrul

The Vrul were an alien species, similar in appearance to turtles from Earth, originating on the world of Vrul-Ho. They formed an interstellar nation, the Vrul Salvation League, which was destroyed in a war with the Confederate Republics of Antares. Territories of the former Vrul state were thereafter reliant on the Confederacy, with Vrul eventually integrated deeply into the society of Antares.

Unification Campaigns

The Unification Campaigns is a period of galactic history referring to the first 4 centuries following the War in Heaven, or more specifically 0 AWH to 463 AWH (for humans would be from the year of 2658 to 3121). Starting with the defeat of the extra-dimensional invaders later known as the Unbidden and ending with the annexation of the Sophox Garden of Worlds, the campaigns would see through a combination of war and diplomacy the unification of the entire Milky Way Galaxy under the Greater Terran Union.

Following the War in Heaven, the GTU underwent a major change in how it chose to view and interact with the other races of the Galaxy. Lingering xenophobia, a product of the Great Defensive War had over the centuries given way to grudging respect and even admiration at times. During the war, the protectorate nations, in particular the Rixians and Wessari, would perform above and beyond what was expected of them, and the sacrifices of the Talakur and the Florians resulted in Terran citizens coming to entertain the possibility that non-human species could in fact become upstanding citizens of the Union. In 5 AWH (AKA 2663), the National Assembly passed the Protectorate Integration Act, which allowed for the loyal Terran Protectorates to be integrated into the GTU fully. It also set out means by which a foreign nation could become a Terran Protectorate peacefully and eventually also be integrated into the GTU.

Unlike prior expansion against the Compact, Vol and Latians, it was rare for the GTU to expand of its own volition and the growth of the Union in this time period was markedly slower then in the preceding era. The National Council, mindful of the pitfalls of empire and the dangers of expanding beyond the capability of the government to control its new territories adopted a largely passive campaign. It was aided in the fact that following the War in Heaven, Terran ideals and political philosophy gained massive traction throughout the galaxy, with many races adopting a Terran based education curriculum and attempting to reorganize their shattered societies around the principles they learned from them. More often then not, the races of the galaxy would eventually petition for entry into the GTU of their own volition, though others like the Priki-ti-ki would find themselves forcibly integrated due to their involvement in Union police actions or pacification campaigns.
Homeworld Commissariats/United Americas Commissariat

Flag of the United Americas Commissariat

The world hyperpower at the time of the Tyrum attack, the North American Commonwealth, while never recovering its hegemony, has remained a vibrant territory within the Greater Terran Union. The commissariat maintains a significant and multifaceted economy, with specializations in aerospace manufacturing, investment and banking, as well as agriculture. The product of settler colonialism itself, the NAC was among the first regions on the planet to incentivize non-human immigration. The commissariat was also the birthplace of the modern interventionist political theory. American representatives in the National Assembly have time and again been the fiercest voices in calling for war, while weapon systems manufactured in the commissariat have been adopted by every service branch within the Greater Terran Union.

The United Americas flag was adopted in 2154 and designed to incorporate the colours of the former North American Commonwealth, which itself was based on the flags of the former United States and Canada. While the colors originally had no symbolism beyond their historical connotations, they were ultimately defined in 2314. The white symbolizes purity and innocence, the red, hardiness and valor, and the blue symbolizes vigilance, resilience, and justice.
Vinh

**Vinh** is one of the planets of the Antares System, in orbit of the star Dejen. As of 210 AL it is the 6th most populated world in the Antares Confederacy.

## History

Without the time to properly survey the planet before colonization, the original settlers of Vinh were almost wiped out by what had been thought to be a dormant volcano. This eruption, and others like it, have repeated themselves every few decades; such eruptions pose a significant risk to the planet's colonists.

## Geography

Vinh is an ocean world, with many island chains scattered across its surface. It holds the single greatest concentration of mineral wealth and exotic metals within the entire Antares System, but extraction of these minerals has been hindered by the planet's oceanic geography.

## Politics

The Commonwealth of Embasora is the sole nation on Vinh.

Hai

**Hai** is one of the planets of the Antares System, in orbit of Abeni. As of 210 AL it is the second most populated world in the Antares Confederacy.

## History

Hai was one of the planets colonized during the First Colonization Campaigns, and is now home to two member nations of the Antares Confederacy.

## Geography

Hai is nearly completely covered in oceans and is subjected to fierce storms, which sometimes have nearly engulfed the entire planet. Mineral wealth and natural resources are scarce on Hai in comparison to other worlds and are largely restricted to the planet's sole continent.

Hai's surface is split between a single continent and many thousands of islands.

## Politics

Hai is home to two nations: The Republic of Chengatai and the Federation of Rhumdara.

Artemis

Template:E**Artemis,** a human name derived from ancient Greek religion for a goddess of the hunt, is known by the Wessari as **Wessar**. Non-Wessari almost universally refer to the planet by its human name. Artemis is the capital of Raznum Commissariat, which has the largest Wessari population of any commissariat.

The Raznum system also contains Thel Murad Station, named for Wessari war hero Colonel Thel Murad, and Wessa-Hur Station, and the military station Fort Necessity, named for the GTU's perceived need to incorporate Artemis early in its history, leading to the Wessari Annexation. The system also contains a Gateway, constructed in the 26th century to link the GTU's most important systems with almost instant interstellar transit.

## Discovery

Discovered by the Greater Terran Union in 2222, the planet is covered in oceans that make up 91% of the planet, with small islands dotting around the Northern Hemisphere. The worlds most striking feature is its constant orange sky as a result of the red dwarf sun, only becoming blue for a few hours each day around midday. This, in turn, causes the planetary oceans to adopt an orange hew. Plant life on land mostly consists of large, tree like, ferns and fruit-bearing bushes, and under the oceans there exist many species of kelp and other sea plants. Animal life mostly consists of small, silver, insect-like crustaceans, most of which can swim or fly between the islands. Human colonists have taken to calling these creatures 'Silver Swimmers'. Scientists describe Silver Swimmers as 'Like Plankton, but bigger.' Large corals have been discovered both on land and in the ocean, making large coral reefs. Mammal-like species are rare and mostly confined to small isolated islands.

## Inhabitants

This is the homeworld of the Wessari, a Suidae like species that were annexed into the GTU in the year 2222. After that human setters arrived on mass on the world, at first as a occupying army and soon thereafter as fellow citizens.

## History

Little is known about the world prior to the invasion by the GTU, as the Wessari seemingly kept most of their historical records on large stone tablets located around the planet, most of which were destroyed (both accidentally and purposefully) by human invaders. The surviving tablets tell of a sea faring people, similar to that of ancient Polynesian culture.

When Artemis was discovered in 2222, the Wessari had already started sending up satellites and were close uniting as a planetary government. Unfortunately, the GTU decided to preemptively invade to crush a possible rival and collect the strategic resources located within the system. The planet-wide invasion order was given to the Terran Fleet orbiting the Wessari homeworld, with the ground troops landing at key strategical locations throughout the planet. The invasion was short, the Wessari unable to compete with the large technological gap, had no hope in turning back the forces of the GTU. The invasion only lasted 3 hours, the Wessari surrendering unconditionally. The short-lived war would forever be called the Wessari Annexation, with the Wessari homeworld occupied by the Union.
Sword of Terra

The **Sword of Terra** is a Colossus class superweapon developed by the Greater Terran Union powered by a zero point reaction engine capable of generating (for a brief time) the energy output of a single stellar mass through its focusing array. The energy of the reactor is focused into a single main weapon, rendering it incapable of ship to ship combat, but given sufficient time its has the capability of unleashing massive energy based attacks on stationary targets, including planets.

Research on the development of the Sword of Terra was conducted in orbit of the planet Mictlan, a penal colony used to house the breakaway Human Clarus subspecies, and later the humans who chose to the support the Skiron Interstellar Hierarchy. The vessel itself was constructed at the Sirius fleet naval yards. The Sword was used most notably in the destruction of the Tyrum homeworld of Byrum and was the principle agent in that species ultimate extinction. Use of the Sword was among the causes resulting in the Terran-Florian war. During the War in Heaven, the Greater Terran Union would use the weapon to destroy the Xani colony world of Xurt, and to later cleanse their homeworld of Core and its moon Boundary of all sentient life.

On top of its obvious military applications, the Sword of Terra also found civilian use for some of humanity's more grandiose engineering projects. Namely, the construction of the Ring World in the Al-Waha (Oasis) system. As part of the early stages in their grand effort at stellar engineering, the Sword was used to destroy all worlds and moons in the system, resulting in a massive debris field of more manageable sized materials that were collected, processed and forged into the components of the massive ring world. The fact that a weapon of such unimaginable destruction could be turned to such creative purposes was the subject of much discussion in philosophical circles and was hailed in Union propaganda as proof of the ingenuity and flexibility of the human mind.
Vrul-Ho

## History

### Destroyed by

Vrul Salvation League

Vrul-Ho was the homeworld of the Vrul species and the capital world of the Vrul Salvation League until its catastrophic collapse and explosion on March 28, 249 AL. Billions died in the calamity while the government of the Salvation League and a handful of evacuees fled to the oceanic moon Torix. In their all-encompassing drive for totalitarian efficiency, the Vrul elite had driven their citizens to dig too greedily and too deep, fracturing the crust and dooming their homeworld to destruction.

## History

Vrul-Ho was the oceanic homeworld of the Vrul species. By the time the Antares Confederacy made first contact with the Vrul, the planet was united under a single interstellar government — the Vrul Salvation League — who promised to save the Vrul by colonizing a new world. The planet exploded shortly after contact due to the overly exploitative resource extraction policies pursued by the Vrul government.

The collapse of Vrul-Ho, together with reports of the squalid conditions experienced by those few who were lucky enough to survive the catastrophe, proved to be a decisive factor in influencing the Confederate government to declare war on the Salvation League, setting the stage for the Vrul War.

## Politics

Vrul-Ho served as the capital world of the Vrul Salvation League until it exploded in 239 AL.

Faraxian Confederation

The Faraxian Confederation was a successor state to the Faraxian Union, and was created after the Greater Terran Union's conquest of the Faraxian Union in the Terran-Compact War. After the war the GTU decided to organise most of the systems it had conquered into a new Terran Protectorate, forming the Faraxian Confederation. The new government implemented a Terran citizenship tier system, rebuilt its military under Terran advisors, and allowed the GTU free travel through its systems. Unlike the Rixian Directorate, the Faraxian Confederation remained loyal to the GTU throughout the following centuries, even through the War in Heaven.
Republic of Maltuan

The **Republic of Maltuan** is one of the constituent nations and founding members of the Antares Confederacy. Maltuan is considered to be one of the "big four" nations in the Antares system.

## History

The largest and most powerful nation on the moon Lindiwe, the future Maltuan nation benefited nearly immediately from amenable geography, rich natural resources and fertile soil. Large scale agro-industrial complexes helped fund early industry, and eventually Antares’ first major spaceport. The Zuberi Disaster killed thousands and significantly impacted the nation’s orbital ambitions, but proved invaluable in the struggle to overcome the unique difficulties of the Antares System.

Together with Jut Fareed, Retiva, and Chengatai, the Republic of Maltuan is sometimes seen as one of Antares’ “big four."

## Culture

During the Vrul War, Chancellor Cali Isaak released his memoir, *A Dream of Spring*. The work was panned by critics as "self serving and complete *[sic]* biased."

## Politics

Maltuan Intelligence Service (MIS) agents were responsible for the capture of a pro-UTP agent in Celankobe in the early 6th century. The same period saw concern in the capital over dozens of deaths caused by pancakes.

## Economy

Maltuan boasts one of the highest GDP growth rates and lowest unemployment levels in the Confederacy, but its dependence on export markets makes it especially vulnerable to contractions in external demand. Likewise, it is facing increased pressure from businesses to allow a greater migration of qualified workers. Economically, it remains something of an outlier within the "Big Four."

Launch Complex 89, on the outskirts of Celankobe, was the site from which the CAS Earhart launched on November 14, 210 AL. At least three of its corporations had helium mining stations in orbit of Kito before they were seized by the Confederate government on grounds of corruption shortly before the Earhart launch.

## Geography

The Republic of Maltuan is located on the moon Lindiwe, orbiting the gas giant Bao. Bao, in turn, orbits Abeni — the main star of the Antares System. Maltuan shares Lindiwe with the Republic of Alfjari-Vet and the Republic of Mandakir.

Jaz Gavaz

The Jaz Gavaz were a major Fallen Empire and old rival of the Xani, present in Stellaris Invicta Season One. The Jaz Gavaz were a xenophilic race who, much like their rivals, began forcing other nations to either join them or be obliterated, shortly before the War in Heaven. The Jaz Gavaz are most notable for their superweapon, The Egg of Oblivion, and their reckless use of the Jump Drive, culminating in the release of Extradimensional Invaders known as the Unbidden.
Flag of the Antares Confederacy

The flag of the Antares Confederacy, also known as the Green Frontier Flag

In 202 AL, the Antares National Flag Commission was established and tasked with coming up with a flag design to represent the newly formed Antares Confederacy. Its members created an open, public competition.

Of the 4,093 entries submitted, three variants, the "White Cluster", "Green Frontier" and "Golden Cluster" flags, designed by the historian Jean-Noël Vigouroux would be brought to the council on August 11th, 202 AL. The "Green Frontier" flag, the winning design, was inaugurated precisely one year later, raised simultaneously outside the capital building in Sagallo and other government buildings throughout the system.

## Symbolism

The flag's central star is the Star of Progress. The longest point represents the journey from Earth to the Antares system. The three other points represent The Landing, Reunion Day and Confederation Day.

The star of progess is surrounded by eight Stars of Remembrance which represent the eight colonies which were lost prior to reunification.

These stars are surrounded by eleven Stars of Antares which represent the eleven founding nations of the Antares Confederacy. The four points of the Star of Antares represent Determination, Amity, Labor and Justice.

## Other Proposed Flags

The "White Cluster" and "Gold Cluster" flags - both designed by Jean-Noël Vigouroux, were alongside the "Green Frontier" flag the final flags considered by the Antares National Flag Commission.

## Trivia

* The Green Frontier Flag won the Templin Institute Patreon poll with 56% of the vote (370 votes). The White Cluster and Green Cluster received 87 and 198 votes respectivly.
