My Military Factions (Heroes)

Terran Union

Authors Note:

Okay so this is essentially a restart from my old account. The Terran Union is like the Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40k, except it's over a billion and a half years old. Expect a crossover of Halo, Assassin's Creed, Titanfall, Ghost Recon, Star Trek, Mobile Suit Gundam, Call of Duty, Stellaris, etc. This is one of my most massively OP hero factions with the only ones rivaling them are their main antagonists 'The Evils'.

Also, I had to change the name as I didn't want to be seen copying Osean_Federation's work. His version of the Unified Terran Federation. Originally mine was called the United Terran Federation but instead I'll just called the Terran Union. Based on the Greater Terran Union from Stellaris Invicta. Though most are the same, I did make some changes you'll see in this bio.

Before anyone asks or gets any ideas, YES this is pretty much a 100% fascist government. However, they're NOT fascist like Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Fascist White Supremacy, etc. They're fascist in a more militaristic sense like a Stratocracy or a Military Junta. Thus, embracing the ways of ultranationalism, militarism, and absolute commitment to the nation. However, in present day, they still uphold the values and ideals of equal rights, freedom, self-determination, and the preservation of life itself.

==========

History: The Terran Union is described as an authoritarian and militaristic regime. Highly and heavily militarized, it's a stratocracy whose government is ruled by the military. Though in some cases the TU would be considered by many as a fascist government, it isn't like a mirror image to Nazi German Fascism, Italian Fascism, White Supremacist Fascism, or other forms of fascist movements that support racism, prejudice, discrimination, etc. The TU is fascist in a more militaristic sense, but it does indeed uphold the core principles of equal rights, freedom, self-determination, and the preservation of life itself. However, humanity never truly started out like this in the beginning.

Like most species in the galaxy, humanity was young as they inhabited their home planet Earth. They went though many struggles and wars that could've brought them either to extinction or set them on a dark path. However, throughout it all, they prevailed and survived as a species. When humanity entered into its first steps into the stars, war soon followed such as the Secession Wars and the Solar Wars, both being humanity's first interstellar conflicts in space. Originally known as the United Nations Space Alliance (UNSA), after achieving FTL travel, humanity finally achieved its dream of spreading across the stars and finally began colonizing distant worlds for habitation. Unfortunately, that peace was never meant to last. In the aftermath of major wars like the Insurrection Wars and the Terran-Martian War, the human race would forgo their more liberal and democratic ideals. Due to fear and paranoia, especially with the discovering of ancient alien ruins and ships, humanity had begun to transition into a more militaristic and authoritarian society, one now ruled and governed by its military. 

This transition of power would soon lead to the birth of the Terran Union.

Despite the TU's extreme and tyrannical policies, humanity became more compliant with the new regime after a hostile first contact with actual alien civilizations. Although attempting for a more peaceful contact at first, the aliens made their intentions clear that they wished to exterminate the entirety of the human race due to seeing them as a massive threat to the galaxy as a whole. This soon led to the start of the 1st Terran-Xeno War. It was a hard-fought war, leading to the deaths of millions on both sides, but in the end, the TU achieved several strategic victories, including the destruction of multiple alien home systems that finally ended the war in a Terran victory. Due to these events, humanity became extremely hostile and xenophobic towards non-human civilizations. Despite attempts to isolate themselves from the rest of the galaxy and rebuild their civilization, the 2nd Terran-Xeno War began when several rogue alien factions began to invade TU territory, breaking the peace and sparking another war. Thanks to the reverse engineering of new alien technologies and experience in fighting against other alien civilizations, the TU began a brutal campaign of death and carnage across the galaxy, decimating entire alien species to near extinction and destroying several planetary colonies or star systems in the process. When the war was over, the galaxy was battered and bruised beyond recovery as the TU would soon emerge as one of the sole dominant powers in the galaxy, finally ending the war. Once again going back into isolation, the TU was locked in a cold war with the remaining alien civilizations but not for long.
