Galactic Upheaval: Rise of the Republic
When explorers on Mars found the Prothean Archives, they discovered that they were being eradicated. The various human governments were terrified. An empire that appeared to have spanned the entire galaxy was slaughtered and their attackers were apparently still alive 50,000 years later. They had to build a fleet to protect themselves but how? In 2055, thanks to a team of privately funded researchers and engineers, the first hyperdrive core was designed and implemented and for decades the new Republic expanded, building on and developing every world it claimed, creating hundreds of agricultural worlds that provide food and water to the people of the Republic, industrial worlds that provide various materials and products to the planets under their banner. Resort worlds provide rest and relaxation for the weary. Humanity, it seems, has finally found peace. But like the Romans said: Sí vis pacem parabellum. If you want peace, prepare for war. And 500 years after the archives were discovered it seems war would find humanity once more.
