The '''Galacian Republic''' or '''GR''' in simpler terms, is a large TL6 Empire that controls the majority of the [[Gold Sector]]. It emerged as the dominant power after years of infighting and internal strife in the region following the collapse of the Elkossian Empire, which was destroyed at the conclusion of a short but incredibly destructive war with [[Peach]] Invaders in G.R 2011
 
  
 +
'''Galacia''' /Gah-lay-sha/ (Galacian Slavonik: Галацiя) formally titled the Velyka Galatza Imperiya (literally the Greater Galacian Empire) is a large TL7 Empire hailing from the [[Gold Sector]]. It has a long and storied history, officially beginning in R.2014, But has history stretching as far back as R.1992. It was wiped out in a kanon shattering resonance cascade in R.2018.

===Pre-History and Founding===
 +
Originating from a merging of anti-communists refugees who fled the Western Kievan region of the USSSR and the local population who were still stuck in the feudal ages on the planet Elkoss *Known as Brikrigton at the time*, The Galacia is a state that has existed in a sector between the areas [[Galaxia Nehellenium]] known as the Western Arms and the Shire. It sprung from the ruins of the [[Elkossian Empire]] in G.R 2014 after several other failed states had laid claim to heir of the Empire. The Elkossian Empire had enjoyed relative peace and progress until G.R 2011 when it was invaded and embroiled in a years long war against a gargantuan [[Peach]] invasion consisting of many factions that banded together. The resulting war balkanized the Empire and forced it to retreat and consolidate to it's core systems. Government remnants would rise and fall for 2 or 3 years after the war. It wasn't until G.R 2014 that a stable power,controlling the capital and having regained control of key systems in the sector, declared the beginning of a "reformation" and reuniting the star regions of Galychna, Strenza and Slavonia. the state would now be known as the "Galacian Republik" taking their name from a region of in the Kievan region of the purple sector, their ancestral homeland.  After which, several other successor states and separatist groups alike would compete for control, independence or sovereignty in the sector and argue over whom is the legitimate government, like they had been for the past 5 years, although this time things would be different

===R.2014 to R.2015 - Military Junta===
 +
Following the consolidation of most of the sector, and at constant odds with threats in the west. Galacia was initially controlled by a Military Junta due. This period was marked by oppressive policing by troops,  a lack of civil liberties for the populace, especially in the border zones,  and was a period of intense violence towards peaches.

Originating from a merging of anti-communists refugees who fled the Western Kievan region of the Pan-Slavia sector and the local population who were still stuck in the feudal ages, The Galacian republic is a state that has existed in a sector between the areas [[Galaxia Nehellenium]] known as the Western Arms and the Shire. It sprung from the ruins of the Elkossian Empire in G.R 2014 after several other failed states had laid claim to heir of the Empire.

[[File:EKDFlag.png|200px|thumb|right|The Galacian tricolor flag has, surprisingly unknown origins. The design was believed to have originated from one of the Government Enclave Remnants in the post-nuklear period. The flag of the Elkossian empire bore absolutely no resemblance to the White, Black and Orange]]
  
−
While this new Government offered the empire a true chance to legitimately rebuild, Former colonies in other systems in the region did not necessarily want to follow Galacian law, as they had sought or recieved assistance elsewhere, or rebuilt on their own. There would be no fewer than four other groups that refused to be re-integrated into Galacian law. By 2016 what was essentially a second Civil War started which has escalated in scale and ferocity only to be outdone by "The Great War" itself.
+
===R.2015 to R.2016 - Transition period *1st Republik*===
 +
After constant whining from the AN, And the defeat of it's enemies in the west,  the Junta decided to transition to a civilian government, with strings attached.  Snap elections were held, although all of the candidates were pre-selected by the Military commanders as background checks had already been done on all of the. Hardliner Stepan Tesarik won the election and things pretty much continued as normal. The 1st Republik's period was largely defined by counter insurgency in the west against Peach rebels,  and the failures of multiple megacorporations in the south, leading to many of the southernmost prefectures become poor and impoverished.

==Culture and Society==
+
===R.2016 to R.2017 - 2nd Republik===
−
Galacian society is both proud and humble, a large percentage of the population identify as simple citizens and colonists who want nothing more than food on the table, a house that doesn't look like shit, something to do for fun, and to witness or participate in some violence once in a while. Most Galacians live in towns and cities, in small private homes or apartment buildings, Larger government run tenements and projects have been on the rise, however these dwellings are normally populated by the poor and are thought to breed crime and dissent.
+
By 2016, The populace had grown wary of the government's leadership. Tesarik's bloodlust for peaches had turned the west into a wasteland, and the south into shambles due to economic mismanagement.  at the end of his 1st term, another civilian election was called. However unpopular, Tesarik was expected to win due to there being very little serious competition, however due to a coincidental chain of events, Election day was on the same day as the Stanislav Cup Finals in the Galacian Ice Fighting playoffs. With the Caspia Centurions and Voldoga Timberwolves playing their game 7, turnout at the polls was very poor, and the majority of those who turned up were piss drunk. A joke candidate, James Lahey ended up winning the election, Lahey was by all standards a progressive individual despite being a career alcoholic.  For a very short period afterward, The Republik was a rather calm place. Peach persecutions were halted, and many were given reprisals and compensation for the hardships. However internationally the GR started butting heads with the 45th Union during this period.  President Lahey denounced the Union on national television, normalizing the conspiracy theory that the Union had been behind the Peach insurgencies for nearly a decade.
  
−
Galacian culture is very intolerant of Peaches. While slavery is banned throughout the empire, this hasn't stopped them from refusing to grant citizenship to the peach population depriving them of the right to vote as well as many other basic liberties enjoyed by non peaches, and Corrections facilities are often full of peaches. This hatred and flat out racism comes from an itense grudge most Galacian minifigs hold as a result of the Great War.
+
This did not bode well with hardliners of any cloth,  Peach rebellion flared up in the west again,  and Tesarik, blood drunk as ever and now out of a job, fled the Capital and started his own Paramilitary group in the west, [[Chervona Bryhada|Cherhovna Bryhada]]. A group of Violent Ultranationalists and Racists that became a major criminal empire in the west.
  
−
The national pastime of Galacia is "Team Ice Fighting", which appears to be little different than Ice Hockey, but weapons are often used in fights, like sticks, benches, and whatever the spectators throw on the ice.  Fans are known to jump onto the ice and join a fight or start one in the bleachers too.
+
Throughout the entirety of both republiks, the Military was led by the Triumvirate of Army General Shulga, Navy  Admiral Kazakov and Army General Voronin. The three had constantly fought with the civilian government as it had lost most of it's control over the president when Tesarik was ousted. The military was stripped of several of it's authoritative power over the republik which greatly angered it's leaders.  Morale was at an all time low as the troops in the army and navy were more loyal to their commanders than any concept of a nation.  After constant arguing and several instances of the military obstructing civilian projects, Lahey decided to give in to the Triumvirate and selected General Shulga to be the Marshal of the Armed Forces, effectively it's supreme commander.  He gave Shulga a budget allowance, and the orders to improve the military's forces by whatever means he could with the budget.
  
−
The national animal is the husky breed of dog. The national "colors" are Orange and Sometimes Red. although the military primarily uses white and black.  
+
This proved to be a grave mistake for the longevity of peace,  because Shulga was both a political mastermind and an expert with pretty much everything that had to do with maintaining his army, Despite being given a generous budget, he stole resources from private businesses in the south,  and used the capital to train vast amounts of personnel, as well as fund top secret military projects through [[Z.I.T]]. By the time the overhaul was complete, The Gold sector had raised one of the largest militaries in the entire Galaxy, which came as a complete shock to not only Lahey but the members of the AN as well.  
−
Alcoholism is widespread in the empire, getting shitfaced is considered a right of passage, and one that is repeated every other week.

===R.2017-R.2018 - Second Imperiya===
  
 +
After months of figuratively stumbling around under the leadership of a Drunk, and after the [[Outer Haven Incident]], Marshal Shulga commenced [[Operation Schadenfreude]], a military strike against the [[Imperial Magikstrate]], who were supported by the [[M-Throne Empire]].  After the smoke cleared, it was obvious that this would only be the first of many engagements and the Iron Symphony Alliance was now effectively at war with the M-Throne Empire and Magikstrate, President Lahey did not sanction the attack, and was told of it in the middle of the night.  Rather than have Shulga Arrested, he drank himself into a stupor that night and During that time, Shulga took control of the DuGA AI system, and in turn took control of the Shock Forces across the entire sector,  he used them to strongarm his way into a coup,Luring most of the government and military elite to his station for a major announcement, and then  arresting  government members and Lahey's lackeys while proclaiming himself Grand Marshal of Galacia,  Lahey learned of his betrayal from the confines of a hospital bed and was then sent into hiding.
  
 +
The Second Imperiya was more or less, just a major change in government,  however worthy enough to be considered the start of a new era. At the end of the day Shulga would cite his reasons for doing what he did, was "Greater Galacia was being sent adrift by a drunk, and with [[Arhus Crisis|hard days ahead]], it needs a strong hand at the helm" literally meaning that Shulga trusted only himself and his confidants to govern the empire. This new Imperiya would fight a short internal conflict with Republik Loyalists before defeating them and forcing them into hiding, most would join the Southern Zagorian systems that were already in revolt. For a Short time, Galacia was in open war with the [[M-Throne Empire]], and [[Imperial Magikstrate]]. A seperate, overlapping conflict with [[Space Austria]] still rages as of R2018, albeit most Galacian involvement in the conflict comes from rogue officers and non-state actors.

Shulga, Kazakov and several other important Galacian leaders went missing shortly after the peace summit. And were believed to be lost somewhere in the  Zarkipatta Nebula for months. In their absence, Hostilities with the [[Peacheneg Armata Coalition]] have renewed, the [[USA]] Has Invaded parts of the Gold Sector on behalf of the Zagorian [[Systems Conglomerate]], [[Cherhovna Bryhada]] and [[Syndikat]] are out of control, and have begun attacking the Imperiya, and each other. And to top it all off, there are rumors of a new force coming from the west.
 +
[[File:GalLogo11.png‎|100px|thumb|right|For years, Galacia had no official insignia or emblem, Grand Marshal Shulga created an Ornate design resembling ancient slavonik runes and started using it around the Empire shortly after taking over]]
  
−
The Galacian Republic is officially an Indirect Democracy, where each populated colony elects a number of representatives to decide on laws and issues on their behalf. And groups of systems form subsectors which maintain more powerful Provincial governments.
+
===R.2018 Interregnum and Monolith event===
−
In reality due to Martial Law, the Republic is essentially a Military Junta with many civil laws being suspended throughout most of the empire. The military however has allowed several prominent politicians as well as the overall head of state to continue to hold power during martial law and has upheld some of the most important civil laws where feasable, a decision that has proven to calm many citizens worried about the brutality and lack of transparency or oversight from the Military council.
+
Following the Arhus Crisis, several dignitaries and diplomats travelled into Volhinyan space to sign the Treaty of Spartak, officially ending the crisis. Onboard Admiral Kazakov's own flagship, the Igor Basiltsky, Shulga, Kazakov, and Zarkharchuk, the top three in the line of succession of the Imperiya, all went missing after Kazakov served booze to his crew, and accidentally shot the ship near, or into a black hole.  The Basiltsky dissapeared for almost 9 months. and During that time, the Imperiya entered a period called the "Interregnum"  or the "Time without an Emperor"
  
 +
Meanwhile,  the 45th Union annexed the Kopachy system after the peaches there defeated the Cherhovna Bryhada. The Bryhada then attacked the Peacheneg Armata Coalition in an attempt to steal large amounts of Tibinium that had recentley been discovered in the Balkani cluster, the Kopachy Militia followed them, and their conflict spilled over into PAC territory, the PAC swiftly ejected both parties from their space, and then took over Kopachy, kicking out the 45th Union before they even had time to set up in their newly annexed system..  The Cherhovna Bryhada then attempted to bait the Imperiya into fighting the PAC on their behalf by attacking PAC ships and then retreating into Imperiya territory. Eventually this worked and PAC ships were then destroyed by Imperiya naval forces for violating their territory. Both sides called foul and went to war.  Unfortunately, PAC were more than a match for the Imperiya so close to their own territory, and the Peachenegs defeated the Imperiya in several systems, pushing them back to the Kazimaz system.
  
−
==Relations==
+
Elsewhere in the South, The newly established Zagorian Systems Conglomerate had also just evicted the Cherhovna Bryhada,  and blamed the Galacian Imperiya for not doing more to stop the group who was now deemed a terrorist organization. With the Imperiya in shambles, now fighting against PAC, Syndikat and the Bryhada in the west,  The Systems Conglomerate violated the treaty of Maripol, and annexed the systems in the Tusk DMZ. Galacian and Zagorian ships would begin engaging in border skirmishes along the Tusk DMZ border with Galacia.

*At home in the Gold Sector, The Galacian Republic is at war or some amount of contention with a number of rebel states and wholly independent organizations all competing for dominion over the sector
+
The Interregnum was a disaster for the Imperiya, by the time Shulga returned, it was entirely possible that it may fracture from the inside. Bickering generals and admirals had gone rogue.  Entire corporations defected and gave their assets to foreign countries.  And some of the lesser client states of the Greater Imperiya were starting to exhibit dissent. Mid R.2018 would be another period of massive, messy clusterfuck for Galacia.
  
−
Galacian foreign policy constantly bounces between hatred and paranoia of peaches and then communists. However by the end of 2016 the Republic had rapidly expanded both its borders and it's fighting capability. Under the new Lahey administration the GR became less concerned with foreign interference a's direct confrontation with actual empires like the 45th Union became more and more plausible.
+
Just as what was becoming known as the Third Gold War was brewing, Shulga returned after being stuck in time,  he quickly tried to restore power in the Imperiya, and then retired from public life after the government was left in control, a few nights later, his mind was probed by the Monolith, who in a dream, tricked him into creating a psychic link between the Monolith and the Psi-Realm. For reasons, and by means unknown. The Monolith created a pulse of energy that erased the entire gold sector and hundreds of stars around it in some kind of black hole, When it subsided. A single planet, [[Butt]] Remained. The rest of the Gold Sector had been wiped out, Torn apart and reassembled in the [[Plate World]] Realm known as the [[Monolith Battleplates]], in a different dimension

'''Alliances and Coalitions'''
+
The Imperiya is a federation of five slavonik republiks and one administered territory united under one government.  Each of these regions has it's own cultural niches and to some extent, different customs and laws but they are all more or less united by the Federal Imperiya Law

*'''[[Immortal War]]''' The GR has no stance on the conflict and has no interest of ever becoming involved.
+
As of Q3 R.2017, Galacia is essentially a Lighthearted Autocracy led by it's "'''Emperor'''", Alex Shulga, . At it's core despite it's head of state having absolute power through military coup, The Emperor essentially did so to "guide" the nation through troubled waters as it's previous elected president was a reckless drunk. And it's government was full of corrupt pencilnecks who sat around getting drunk and fat while the country fell apart. Shulga seized power and Fired or arrested most of the politicians, the ones he left were given low level jobs where they had very little real power.   
−
*'''[[AN-TA War]]''' The GR Had no official stance during the war, and wished to remain neutral as it had sympathies with both sides during the conflict. It nearly sided with the Third Alliance as it's enemy, the Zaphor Confederacy, was seeking to join the USA on the AN side. The conflict ended before either side could join their respective alliances however.
 
−
*'''Communo-Fascist Insurgency'''The Mozorovan Socialist Union was largely seen as a USSSR puppet republic until mid 2016 when it was beaten back to the brink, the Soviets abandoned their puppet and they were forced to ally with other rebel groups in the Gold sector. in late 2016 the GR officially entered the conflict on the side of the Intermarium Coalition, despite not actually signing as a member.  The Republic pledged to assume responsibility for the entirety of the Southern front along the Kiyevan SSR and Kharkiv SSR. as a result the GR has a conditional alliance with the Poles.
 
  
−
'''Individual Foreign Relations'''
 
−
The GR's political viewpoints on specific foreign powers
 
  
−
*USSSR - Seen as a sworn enemy, the USSSR is accused of financing and supporting anti-government terrorist factions within Galacian territory, namely the Mozorovan Socialist Union. A common antagonist in Galacian history
+
Galacia under Shulga's rule was a heavily socialist state, with heavily regulated businesses limited in how big they can be allowed to grow, Major infrastructure companies that manage things like communicaitons and energy, were monopolized by the government, Basic access to the necessities is provided by the state, and the state works to keep the number of commodities that were only available in the private sector, as low as possible
  
−
*45th Union - Another frequent enemy throughout the GR's time. While they have never gone to war with one another, the Union is also accused of supporting insurgent factions within Galacia's empire. As well as being blamed for the original peach invasion in G.R 2011 due to their radical and aggressive peach supremacy rhetoric. The GR requested that the AN enforce a stretch of space between their territory and the 45th Union as a demilitarized zone to prevent confrontation or escalation, although this DMZ has been violated by both sides numerous times
+
Many functions of the state were simply not set up, the Military maintains direct control over several aspects of the state due to a general distrust of politicians and lazy beauraucrats. For example, there is no proper civilian court system. Each region has it's own bylaws, that were enforced by a combonation of military,  federal police, and militias.  And courts were generally just a chain of lackeys that report back to the regional governor.
  
−
*M-Throne Empire - The GR sees the M-Throne empire as a threat to the galaxy, and disapproves of empires negotiating or aligning with the M-Throne, believing that if they are "so powerful" they shouldn't need allies. The GR Fears that if too many empires from their galaxy choose to side with the M-Throne in their operations in the Nehellenium, that the entire galaxy risks losing it's sovereignty
+
The Imperiya was ruled by a military style council called the '''Kommissariat''' who managed day to day operations of the Empire, as well as held regional authority over their assigned districts. While few in comparison, there were still several civilian or otherwise non-military members on the council. Usually brown nosers who slipped into the council, The rest of them were usually in power as a result of Nepotism from either Shulga himself, or other Kommissariat members
  
−
*United Systems Alliance - Until G.R 2016 the GR held several economic ties to the USA, but overall distrusted them as much of the funding and support that went into the Confederate Rebel faction in the Gold Sector was believed to originate from the USA. After President Trump took office, this support seemed to have stalled and was no longer coming directley from the government, and it became less of a concern, however the threat of straight up conflict with the USA was now on the table as the new president was seen as volitile and unpredictable... The Galacian 2016 election selected James Lahey, also seen as volitile and unpredictable, no doubt this action was influenced by the shock of the USA elections.
+
Eventually, during the Interregnum period, when Shulga dissapeared for 9 months.. An emergency council took over to keep the peace.  Massive riots erupted and some dignitaries and elites fled the Imperiya.  Eventually the emergency council decided to form a new, temporary government coalition of both Military and Civilian elite. This new council would be called the '''Rada''', and would consist of both regional governors as well as advisers and experts of certain fields.  The Emperor's position was kept as the supreme leader, albeit in absentia. The mostly Civilian Rada would hold most of the power as the Military leaders could not be trusted to not fight amongst themselves for the position of "Caretaker".  The chain of command had been thrown into a tailspin with several of the line of succession having several of it's top members missing alongside Shulga.  
  
−
*Emeria - In the days leading up to the formation of the GR,  the Elkossian Government remnant factions had accepted an invitation to the EPEEN alliance.  While this membership was short lived, Emeria was the first foreign empire to interact with the Elkoss government since the big reset of G.R 2011. Galacia flip  flopped on its status in the EPEEN alliance until leaving it for good in G.R 2016 to peruse it's own agenda
+
Upon his return,  the Imperiya was in the midst of the worst internal crisis since the Zagorian rebellions,  Shulga gave the Rada his blessing,  and with a few more Military elite back in the mix, he then retired from the public eye and went off on a personal campaign to investigate strange visions he had experienced since returning to the Gold Sector.
  
−
*Polish Republic - The URP and GR have been communicating at a steady rate since G.R 2015, The USSSR has repeatedly tried to strain relations between the two as is evident by communist insurgent attacks on Polish-Galacian diplomatic meetings at least twice. While the two have never signed an official alliance, they share a common enemy in the Soviets,  in G.R 2016 the GR moved several fleets and tens of thousands of troops into the Purple Sector, effectively getting into a shooting war directley with the Soviets and not just their puppet states. While the GR is pushing it's own agenda in the Purple sector, it considers the Polish to be it's ally in the conflict and vice versa. Polish cooperation with the M-Throne ultimately ended the relationship between the GR and URP
+
==Culture and Society==
 +
Galacia takes it's name from a subsection of the present day USSSR, The name was passed down after a small group of refugees fled the communists in the Purple Sector, and landed on Elkoss, merging with the local population. In early G.R 2016 the Elkossian Federal Republik changed it's name to the Galacian Republik in homage to their roots.
  
−
*Trattoria - While far apart from one another, the GR and Trattorian relations can be described as "Warm",  no military cooperation exists between the two, but the GR regularly speaks with the Trattorians at the AN
+
While somewhat refuted today, Galacians who descend from the refugees, are technically considered Genetic "Cousins" of the [[USSSR|Soviets]] and [[Zjednoczona Rzeczpospolita Polska|Poles]]. Genetic relations are generally irrelevant though since most minifigs share ancestry through the [[Deadly Space Men]]
  
−
*Imperial Magikstrate - Something of a rarity, Despite being a peach empire, GR and IM relations are fairly good, Since G.R 2016 the GR pivoted away from outright peach racism and generally only makes an issue out of violent, aggressive or supremacist peach empires. The GR does not consider the IM to be any of these. However IM cooperation with the M-Throne ended this relationship.
+
Galacian society can be both arrogant and humble, a large percentage of the population identify as simple citizens and colonists who want nothing more than food on the table, a house that doesn't look like shit, something to do for fun, and to witness or participate in some violence once in a while. Most Galacians live in towns and cities, in small private homes or apartment buildings. A smaller percentage of the population live outside of cities, in the countryside or outskirts of their colonies, however this is seen as a risk as security forces are notorious for abuse and outright killings of Minifigs outside the cities, given their paranoia of rebel activity.
  
−
*The VOL, MAOX, Dutch and MASS - Whilst being Galacia's immediate neighbors, it shares remarkably little interaction with any of them. Despite being surrounded by Immortal and Third Alliance allied empires, the GR generally does not have confrontations with it's neighbors because it is firmly in both conflicts  However much like it's opinion of the M-Throne Empire, it dislikes the idea of Local galaxy empires aligning with what it considers an "invader" in the Immortal alliance, and despite historical sympathies to the TA, the GR believes that the Third Alliance has become full of "Edge Lords" and won't associate with the type. Frankly, the GR holds sympathies with both sides of both conflicts and can't make a decision, so it remains neutral on both.
+
Galacian culture is very intolerant of Peaches. While slavery is banned throughout the empire, this hasn't stopped them from refusing to grant citizenship to the peach population depriving them of the right to vote as well as many other basic liberties enjoyed by non peaches, and Corrections facilities are often full of peaches. This hatred and flat out racism comes from an itense grudge most Galacian minifigs hold as a result of the Great War.
  
−
*Planetary Levtican Empire - In late G.R 2016, Galacia began experimenting with starting it's own sphere of influence. The PLE was invited to be a protectorate of the GR, While much smaller than the GR, the PLE is a sovereign nation under the protection of the Republic. Which is more than could be said about some of the others in the GR's sphere of influence. In the end of G.R 2016, The PLE accepted the GR's invitation to be a client state. Officially a protectorate.
+
The national pastime of Galacia is "Team Ice Fighting", which appears to be little different than Ice Hockey,  but weapons are often used in fights, like sticks, benches, and whatever the spectators throw on the ice. Fans are known to jump onto the ice and join a fight or start one in the bleachers too.
  
−
*Ulvarrat and Kamchatka - Unlike the PLE, The single system Client states of Ulvaratt and Kamchatka are by every extension of the word, puppet states of the GR. These two emerging nations were swallowed up in their infancy by the Galacian Empire. While they have not been annexed or integrated into the Galacian's Empire. They are hardly considered independent, part of the Galacian political strategy has been to swallow up several smaller powers into it's sphere of influence, coerce or bully them into accepting some sort of treaty, whether it be a protectorate like the PLE, or a Client state like these two,  and then use them all as a claim to legitimacy as the leader of it's own Federation or Alliance.

While a member of the [[G20]] sitting just above the 45th Union, Galacia's economy is basically that of an oligarchy, While the nation itself is considered very wealthy, the people are poor. More minifigs are considered poor or lower middle class than the opposite. Basic necessities are widely available and affordable, but personal luxuries are few and far between. The Imperiya and it's predecessors are stuck in an almost eternal War economy, priority for funding and manufacture is usually given to the army and navy upkeep in subsectors of conflict, only the core regions that don't experience conflict are able to gain some resemblance of prosperity.

'''Galacian Army''' -  The Army has a proud history dating back to the foundation of the empire, and is most remembered for it's heroic last stand on the home world during the peach wars. The Army held out long enough for the Navy to launch a last ditch assault on peach positions to give the Army a fighting chance to turn the tide, which they did. The Galacian Ground forces dwarf that of the late Elkossian Empire, as well as several of it's galactic neighbors, it maintains a very large and well equipped Land force, the Army upholds the legacy of their forbears. This pride has transformed into a violent sense of superiority, in the years following the victory, the Galacian Army has become increasingly more brutal in both it's wartime and peacetime actions. The ESR Army has been accused of War Crimes by many peach and peach-sympathizing parties. While maintaining a huge ground force of it's own, the Galacian military also regularly performs drills and exercises aimed around defense against a much larger invading force, given that they had already fallen victim to a mass invasion once before and are determined never allow such a thing to happen again, Probably a wise move considering Galacian governments have a habit of picking fights with other heavy hitters in the galaxy, as well as mostly following a political stance of violent and aggressive nonpartisan-ism in many current conflicts and controversies in the galaxy.
 
  
 +
Galacia's export economy revolves around supplying the necessities like ABS and Energy to smaller neighbors, and selling specialist niche goods to the larger ones. Most of it's trade is done with empires not native to the region, because shipping is a disaster outside of the Eastern Gold sector, due to constant wars.

'''Civil Protection''' - Civil Protection is the official federal force that polices the populace on Republic worlds in peacetime and in the cities. The Federal police have been downscaled as of G.R 2016 and  
+
*Food - Galacian agriculture on "green" worlds is considered a galatik breadbasket, and is the largest supplier of food exports for the entire Shire Arms of the Galaxy, and the 3rd largest for the Western Arms.
 +
*Military Goods - While Galacia does not export advanced military hardware like Starships and Tanks, it does produce a staggering amount of small arms that usually find their way into black markets and wars all over the Western Arms
 +
*Electronics - While No one ever dreams of having a Galacian TV, Known for being exceptionally shitty and prone to explode. Galacian personal communications equipment from the Motrolla company are considered one of the best "radio" systems available for armies across the galaxy
 +
*Autos - While most Galacian civilian drivers use either Imported autos, ramshackle domestic brands or the few but hilariously dangerous repulsor hovercars. Galacian Motor brand [[SUZU]] is known for making Motorcycles that are great for minifigs killing themselves in a blaze of glory on.
 +
*Natural Resources - Boasting a respectable mining industry for Red, Blue and Green Transparent elements. most of these are usually turned into something for either energy generation, or military use.  then sold

The Gold Sector as a whole has a very large disparity of technology distribution, Galacia is no exception, While technically considered a TL7 tier empire, due to their ability to develop rudimentary teleportation as well as experimental inter dimensional travel mediums. Most of this Technology is reserved for the scientific community and the elite. Most of the Imperiya functions at a TL6 or TL5 level, Hover cars and advanced electronics exist, but are not widely available outside of the larger colonies. Many colonies still hold the structures built from a TL4 or TL5 era that have been refitted with modern tech, like solar panels and smart doors.
  
 +
== Religion ==
  
 +
The leadership of Galacia is secular, and it's society is mostly tolerant of spiritualists, Two major faiths are followed in Galacia, they are not exclusive of one another given that one of the faiths revolves around the worship of living saints, who happened to follow an older religion.  A third faith, the Trianglist Church however, is an outlawed religion in Galacia given its cult behaivors.
  
−
'''Galacian Navy''' - The navy has not seen much action since the days of the peach war, and even so the fleet of that era consisted mainly of corvettes and frigates.  The modern Galacian Navy consists mainly of heavy destroyers that handle the brunt of head on ship to ship combat, with Stealth Corvettes that strike out with space torpedoes and nuklear missiles. Larger ship classes like cruisers and battleships are in development as of GR2016. Unlike the ground forces, Galacian combat vessels are painted almost completely black,  thinking this would make them harder to spot in the void.  While a sizable portion of the Navy's fleet is considered to be capable "knife fighting" ships able to slug it out,  much of the Navy's doctrine revolves around striking fast and hard in ambush attacks.

While individual branches vary,  Officially the overall membership rate in the military as a whole stands around 70% Volunteers. and 30% Conscripts, In reality it's more like the opposite... with Rumors of some of those conscripts being former military and civilian prisoners, brainwashed into fighting for their captors.

'''Imperiya Armiya''' <br>
  
−
'''Troop Types'''
+
The Galacian Ground Forces, now known as the Imperiya Armiya is primarily Infantry based. Fielding Regular squads of 10 or 14 troops. As well as a wide range of specialized or elite troops, including paratroopers, commandos, engineers, psionics, and multiple types of shock infantry. Galacian combat doctrine suggests that the most powerful and important aspect of war is it's most simple element, the mighty minifig. Galacian soldiers recieve good training by galactic standards, and are exceptionally well equipped. The most basic infantry squad is often equipped with multiple grenades, rockets,  machine guns, medikal tools and an array of communications equipment for each individual squad.
−
Non enlisted troops
 
−
*Militia - While more a trait of the rebel opposition, the GR uses loyalist paramilitary and civilian militia in some circumstances, often using antiquated weapons and equipment when the situation warrants it. Sometimes these Paramilitary units are sent on missions of questionable ethics, such as inciting an uprising in a neutral zone, as they are not apart of the army the government will sometimes excuse these incidents as spontaneous uprisings of Galacian minorities,  as it is very difficult to tell what is a true armed militia uprising, and what was a government operation that was just made to look that way
 
  
−
Regular Enlisted
+
While having a very large number of footsoldiers, the Ground Forces also field large numbers of transport vehicles, Armored carriers, Battle Tanks, Logistics vehicles, and an array of air support. As well as a very expansive support network of non-combat services.  Trucks, APCs and IFVs are attached to infantry squads as they are needed. Battle Tanks are often fielded in tank columns or platoons based on the weight class of the vehicle, having both modern medium and heavy tanks in it's motor pool. Galacian vehicles typically carry heavy armor with extensive "Up-Armor" modifications, their firepower is impressive and their weapon ranges are greater than average
−
*'''Trooper''' - The regular army soldier is trained to do little more than take or defend ground, kill the enemy and act in support of other units. He is equipped with a medium hardsuit, and carries either a Kybov LPR37 Light Pulse rifle or a Sich S96 Pulse Battle rifle.  He may also sometimes carry a Zudnik AP disposable rocket launcher or a large supply rucksack on his back. Most soldiers also carry an OT stick grenade and a bayonet or knife.
 
−
*'''SAW Gunner''' - A SAW gunner carries a Squad Pulse Automatic Weapon (SPAW) and more or less does the same role as the Trooper, albeit by bringing more dakka to the table. A standard GR Rifle squad will normally have 1 SAW gunners and 5 regular troopers.
 
−
*'''Combat Medic''' - A specialist Trooper that carries medikal equipment that is capable of reconstructing fallen minifigs. When his medikal services are not required, the Combat Medic is no less capable of a fighter as the rest of the squad.
 
−
*'''Weapons Specialist''' - Every infantry squad will have a single weapons specialist, this soldier carries a heavy or advanced weapon to give the unit advanced firepower, He will usually carry a Shuka Pulse HMG or sometimes a Zudnik-H heavy rocket launcher, sometimes other equipment too.
 
−
*'''NCO''' - This is typically a veteran soldier who used to have a job as one of the above roles, Through battle prowess this soldier often acts as a 2IC of a squad and are also used to support Commissioned officers in the field. He usually carries an LPR or Battle rifle
 
−
*'''Squad Leader''' - A high ranking NCO that acts as the commander of an infantry squad of 10 soldiers including himself.  He provides leadership and gives tactical orders.
 
−
*'''Airborne Trooper''' - A specialist light infantry trooper trained to perform air assaults with Berkut assault craft. Often striking behind enemy lines. He usually carries an LPR or PBR. Airborne troops are also quite fond of melee weapons for some reason, some kind of ritual or tradition.
 
−
*'''Force Recon''' - This is a special forces operator that is often apart of 3-4 minifig teams that are attached to infantry platoons. They perform a very wide range of roles, including but not limited to Sniper, Demolitions, Scout,  as well as acting as a regular assault trooper when needed. He carries a variety of weapons,  like the LPR, PBR, Zudnik-AP,  Duga Sniper rifle, and others.
 
  
 +
The common GR Ground force strategy is that of overwhelming firepower and sheer brute force. A favored tactic of ground forces is to assault with pincer maneuvers and suppression fire, and once the enemy has been boxed in on multiple flanks, to unleash heavy artillery from armor and infantry units into the clusters of enemies for maximum effect. While not always perfect, Galacian ground units also are capable, and prefer to engage their opponents at somewhat longer distances than is usual elsewhere.

'''Officers''' - Formation leaders of various tiers and ranks, Officers generally are in command of units and control the whole flow of an operation. They have 4 tiers.
 
−
* Tier 1 - Lieutenant-Captain, Wearing armor with Crimson accents. Usually a platoon leader in combat, although some officers do not participate in front line combat
 
−
* Tier 2 - Major-Lieutenant Colonel, Wearing armor with Blue accents.  Usually a Company leader of multiple platoons.

'''Transminifig Heavy Infantry program'''
+
'''Weapons'''
−
Since G.R 2014 the Army began fielding genetically modified cybernetic soldiers clad in heavy power armor, unlike the regular army these units serve the rest of their lives in the military. Officially referred to as "TransMinifig Forces" and colloquially as "Shock Troops", Spread out across several generations with each generation developing new variants units. These units represent one of the most advanced, feared and to some, immoral and grotesuqe innovations of the Galacian Empire. Loyal to a fault, and completely ruthless due to an almost complete lack of free will, arguably more machine than minifigs.
 
  
 +
Prior to R2015, The Galacian Republik, Elkossian Empire and other predecessor states used a rag-tag force of planetary militias, there was little uniformity and only the most basic of standardization among the weaponry within the combined Military.  Prior to the reforms of R2015-2016 The small arms used were primarily ballistic slug firing weapons. These weapons were widely produced but had several variations between planets. Many of those weapons are found all over the Gold Sector today, in the hands of Criminals and Terrorists.
  
 +
The Reforms of R2015 saw the unveiling of Pulse weaponry, Utilizing Light Blue power cores, Pulse weapons were an energy based system that fire gasseous rounds with a superhardened kinetic property, essentially keeping the properties of both an energy and kinetic weapon without the drawbacks of ballistics. Pulse shots would typically go in a straight line at blistering speeds and they carried the stopping power of a miniature freight train.  One drawback was that these weapons were incredibly loud. A platoon of automatic pulse rifles firing would be almost deafening. And some weapons that were introduced were more then capable of making a minifig go deaf, Like the Kybov Shuka Heavy Machinegun that fired over a thousand shots a minute.

Explosives used by the Imperiya come in two varieties, Tibinium based (Green), and OT based (Orange)
 +
The former was introduced as an alternative to the latter, as Tibinium Crystals are found in large concetrations around the gold sector, while still widely unknown in composition, researchers found the crystals could be melted to make excellent explosive compounds.

Generation I of the program differed greatly from later generations, it was for most intents and purposes a precursor stage of prototypes, the minifigs were implanted with cybernetic improvements and given heavy powered armor, but no loyalty implants were made. and subjects were only made of volunteers with military training. These troops were somewhat effective, but were deemed a failure in the grand scope of the project. Some units went rogue, deserted or committed suicide as a result of going insane from the difficulties of living as what was essentially a cyborg. By G.R 2015 all Generation Is had been killed in combat, or euthanized.
 
  
−
Generation II was a major breakthrough. with minor modifications to the equipment but the introduction of a loyalty implant and training regimens "flashed" into the memory of subjects meant that TransMinifig units no longer had to comprise of volunteers,  Prisoners of war and convicted criminals were often taken to these Flashing facilities and underwent brainwashing, training and surgery turning them into the 2nd Generation of TransMinifig forces. Generation II mainly focused on heavier armored standard infantry
 
  
−
*'''Shock trooper'' - The gold standard of the program, Gen II shock troopers are heavy infantry that are almost "manufactured" for brutal frontline fighting. With somewhat more endurance and durability than a regular minifig, as well as a connection to the overall TMF Network that allows each unit to function with cold and calculating precision. He generally carries equipment similar to a Galacian assault trooper, although with different armor and an intimidating hardened face plate under his encased helmet, which has become a defining image of TMF units
+
{| align="center"
−
*'''Guardian''' - A unit clad in bulkier armor, given muscle and bone density suppliments, and carrying a thick ballistic shield and a short sidearm, Guardians act as enforcers in a TMF platoon. Very slow but also very hard to kill, and when multiple are grouped together they will form a shield wall that can completely lock down a street or corridor
+
|- bgcolor="#C1C1C1"
−
*'''Centurion''' - The equivalent of an officer in the TMF program, more or less identical to the standard heavy infantry with red markings. Centurions act as the primary communications network link between the Platoon and Command. While they can continue to function without,  a Heavy platoon is much more efficient with a Centurion attached.

Generation IV is not really a true generation at all,  but a moniker given to the prime soldiers known as Praetorians, these are by all intents and purposes, true supersoldiers. They are chosen from the best of the best to undergo a 4th generation upgrade and serve as the honor guard for Galacian leaders. They are the -only- unit in the GR military that does not wear white or orange.. Instead they wear black and red. They have their control chips removed but not their loyalty implants, meaning they can act on their own, independently, but still unable to betray their overall purpose. While few in number, these guards are considered completely above the law. And will only answer to the president of the GR, or the GR Military High Command.

Infantry uniforms almost always consist of White composite hardsuit armor over top of white, black or grey body gloves. Helmets are usually white but Medics and Recon units wear Black helms. Almost all enlisted wear heavy black tinted ballistic visors, with the exception of Medics who have dark green, and Recon who have clear. Tier 1 and 2 officers wear red and dark blue visors respectively. Some but very few units wear headgear other than the standard encased helmet.

Troops of specialist training or apart of units considered elite will often have their white armor emblazoned with different patterns or colors indicating what unit they belong to, although this system is somewhat confusing as Officers also use colored armor to indicate rank.
+
'''Armor'''
  
−
* White: White with no markings or extra colors is used by all enlisted ranks
+
Imperiya troops are issued standardized combat armor dependent on their role. With few exceptions the armor is generally painted white. The Galacian homeworld is more parts cold than temperate, and many regions are a constant arctic or tundra biome. And without the resources to produce equipment for every biome out there, Galacian troops wear winter colored gear everywhere. Being from a snow planet, Imperiya troops don't mind other cold regions, but their equipment is often hot and uncomfortable in arid and desert regions.  Going as far as stationing troops from puppet states that are more suited for the enviornments that they don't want to be in.
−
* Fern Green: Used by weapons specialists
 
−
* Dark Orange Accents: Used by  squad leaders
 
−
* Orange accented armor: Force Recon
 
−
* Black: Airborne troops often only wear their hardsuit vest and helmet, with a black BDU underneath, some are known to "Go Rambo" and not wear a shirt at all, This practice is not tolerated outside of this unit
 
  
 +
Regular Army uniforms are a copy of a Canadian design,  It's not uncommon to see soldiers with fur hats and collars and other cold weather gear. They consist of a basic full face helmet with a black ballistic visor and a somewhat heavy body armor plate. Personalization is more or less forbidden as almost all equipment is issued to the soldier but remains property of the state. A soldier must buy the item outright if he wants to do things to it. Typically only Sergeants and Squad leaders have enough money free to personalize their armor, and even then this is normally restricted to helmet decals and designs.

Shock troops use a similarly colored Full body Carapace armor suit of Galacian design, Their armor is of higher quality and provides superior protection compared to the regular army. Their helmets are the most prominent feature. A double layered ballistic helm with several gadgets and gizmos including filters, voice modulators, communicators and HUDs. The helmets were designed by Shulga himself in the same form as his custom mask. Making the shock troops a menacing, faceless legion.  More advanced models exist for the veterans of the shock forces

Elite Spetsnaz groups typically have unique armor designs that seperate them from the rank and file cannon fodder. VDV  Pathfinders break the norm by utilizing camoflauge while the Elite Stalker Spetsnaz emblazon their armor with bright orange markings.

Until Late G.R 2015 the Armed forces were still relying on slug firing weaponry as the empire's capacity to produce energy weapons was damaged. However they have resumed use of energy munitions and have rolled out Pulse and Plasma small arms to all ground units

Most Galacian Army small arms use light blue transparent power cores as ammunition.  This refined power source is in huge abundance in the sector and is at least marginally more powerful than red transparent, also in abundance in the sector. This LBT is used in pulse weapons primarily, Pulse weapons are complicated hybrid weapons that have traits of both a kinetic and energy weapon. They hit extremely hard and they are very loud. Galacian Pulse weaponry is renowned around the galactic neighborhood for it's "Dakka" Properties...

Transparent neon green and trans bright green have also been refined into use for highly advanced plasma weapons, which have been limited to elite unit usage and on some vehicles. Pulse weapons are a combination of

The primary small arms are the Kybov LPR37 and S96 Pulse Battle Rifle, the latter of which is sometimes seen with an underbarrel rifle rocket launcher.

Other Common standard weapons in the GR are the Squad Pulse Automatic Weapon *SPAW* a light machinegun pulse weapon,  the GMG-50, a much heavier cousin of the SPAW. The Grummond SG12 Shotgun,  and the Duga Pulse Sniper Rifle.

Other widespread standard issue weaponry for the troops include Synthetic OT Stick grenades, the ''Zudnik AP'' rocket launcher and it's variants. and lastly the ''Shuka Pulse Heavy Machinegun'' knicknamed "Buzzsaw" which singlehandedly caused immense [[butthurt]] from opposition forces due to it's rate of fire which could only be described as "stupid". . Lighter, troop portable versions were rolled out in G.R 2016 under the name "Mini-Shuka"

The core of the infantry is made up of "Regulars", two thirds of which are conscripts, the rest are usually short term contract volunteers, citizens on the run from their past lives, or convicted criminals given the option of serving in the Army to absolve their sins.
 +
Despite being of mixed background and questionable quality, the Armiya is decently trained and very well equipped. Poor morale in some units leads to some of this hardware ending up in rebel or criminal groups like the Systems Conglomerate or Syndikat. The Military compensates this issue with a host of hardened shock infantry and other elite groups.

The navy has not seen much action since the days of the peach war, and even so the fleet of that era consisted mainly of corvettes and frigates.  The modern Galacian Navy consists mainly of very heavily armored ships that carry plenty of ammunition and multiple classes of weapons, Fleets are called "Battlegroups" and vary in size.  Frigates and Destroyers are most common, however the Navy boasts a considerable amount of Capital ships, Keeping with the traditions of the Ground force weapons, The best Galacian ships have very long range Gauss cannons and prefer to bombard enemy ships from a distance. And if that doesn't work,  fill the void with dozens of missiles and torpedoes.

This Empire was destroyed in 2018 in a wacky waving inflatable armed soft kanon reset. It was rebuilt into the Slavonik Imperiya, this chapter in history is considered to be over and obsolete. Some pictures found here may have been overwritten for the aforementioned page.


GR Military, end of 2016


Galacia /Gah-lay-sha/ (Galacian Slavonik: Галацiя) formally titled the Velyka Galatza Imperiya (literally the Greater Galacian Empire) is a large TL7 Empire hailing from the Gold Sector. It has a long and storied history, officially beginning in R.2014, But has history stretching as far back as R.1992. It was wiped out in a kanon shattering resonance cascade in R.2018.


History

Pre-History and Founding

Originating from a merging of anti-communists refugees who fled the Western Kievan region of the USSSR and the local population who were still stuck in the feudal ages on the planet Elkoss *Known as Brikrigton at the time*, The Galacia is a state that has existed in a sector between the areas Galaxia Nehellenium known as the Western Arms and the Shire. It sprung from the ruins of the Elkossian Empire in G.R 2014 after several other failed states had laid claim to heir of the Empire. The Elkossian Empire had enjoyed relative peace and progress until G.R 2011 when it was invaded and embroiled in a years long war against a gargantuan Peach invasion consisting of many factions that banded together. The resulting war balkanized the Empire and forced it to retreat and consolidate to it's core systems. Government remnants would rise and fall for 2 or 3 years after the war. It wasn't until G.R 2014 that a stable power,controlling the capital and having regained control of key systems in the sector, declared the beginning of a "reformation" and reuniting the star regions of Galychna, Strenza and Slavonia. the state would now be known as the "Galacian Republik" taking their name from a region of in the Kievan region of the purple sector, their ancestral homeland. After which, several other successor states and separatist groups alike would compete for control, independence or sovereignty in the sector and argue over whom is the legitimate government, like they had been for the past 5 years, although this time things would be different

R.2014 to R.2015 - Military Junta

Following the consolidation of most of the sector, and at constant odds with threats in the west. Galacia was initially controlled by a Military Junta due. This period was marked by oppressive policing by troops, a lack of civil liberties for the populace, especially in the border zones, and was a period of intense violence towards peaches.

The Galacian tricolor flag has, surprisingly unknown origins. The design was believed to have originated from one of the Government Enclave Remnants in the post-nuklear period. The flag of the Elkossian empire bore absolutely no resemblance to the White, Black and Orange

R.2015 to R.2016 - Transition period *1st Republik*

After constant whining from the AN, And the defeat of it's enemies in the west, the Junta decided to transition to a civilian government, with strings attached. Snap elections were held, although all of the candidates were pre-selected by the Military commanders as background checks had already been done on all of the. Hardliner Stepan Tesarik won the election and things pretty much continued as normal. The 1st Republik's period was largely defined by counter insurgency in the west against Peach rebels, and the failures of multiple megacorporations in the south, leading to many of the southernmost prefectures become poor and impoverished.

R.2016 to R.2017 - 2nd Republik

By 2016, The populace had grown wary of the government's leadership. Tesarik's bloodlust for peaches had turned the west into a wasteland, and the south into shambles due to economic mismanagement. at the end of his 1st term, another civilian election was called. However unpopular, Tesarik was expected to win due to there being very little serious competition, however due to a coincidental chain of events, Election day was on the same day as the Stanislav Cup Finals in the Galacian Ice Fighting playoffs. With the Caspia Centurions and Voldoga Timberwolves playing their game 7, turnout at the polls was very poor, and the majority of those who turned up were piss drunk. A joke candidate, James Lahey ended up winning the election, Lahey was by all standards a progressive individual despite being a career alcoholic. For a very short period afterward, The Republik was a rather calm place. Peach persecutions were halted, and many were given reprisals and compensation for the hardships. However internationally the GR started butting heads with the 45th Union during this period. President Lahey denounced the Union on national television, normalizing the conspiracy theory that the Union had been behind the Peach insurgencies for nearly a decade.

This did not bode well with hardliners of any cloth, Peach rebellion flared up in the west again, and Tesarik, blood drunk as ever and now out of a job, fled the Capital and started his own Paramilitary group in the west, Cherhovna Bryhada. A group of Violent Ultranationalists and Racists that became a major criminal empire in the west.

Throughout the entirety of both republiks, the Military was led by the Triumvirate of Army General Shulga, Navy Admiral Kazakov and Army General Voronin. The three had constantly fought with the civilian government as it had lost most of it's control over the president when Tesarik was ousted. The military was stripped of several of it's authoritative power over the republik which greatly angered it's leaders. Morale was at an all time low as the troops in the army and navy were more loyal to their commanders than any concept of a nation. After constant arguing and several instances of the military obstructing civilian projects, Lahey decided to give in to the Triumvirate and selected General Shulga to be the Marshal of the Armed Forces, effectively it's supreme commander. He gave Shulga a budget allowance, and the orders to improve the military's forces by whatever means he could with the budget.

This proved to be a grave mistake for the longevity of peace, because Shulga was both a political mastermind and an expert with pretty much everything that had to do with maintaining his army, Despite being given a generous budget, he stole resources from private businesses in the south, and used the capital to train vast amounts of personnel, as well as fund top secret military projects through Z.I.T. By the time the overhaul was complete, The Gold sector had raised one of the largest militaries in the entire Galaxy, which came as a complete shock to not only Lahey but the members of the AN as well.

R.2017-R.2018 - Second Imperiya

After months of figuratively stumbling around under the leadership of a Drunk, and after the Outer Haven Incident, Marshal Shulga commenced Operation Schadenfreude, a military strike against the Imperial Magikstrate, who were supported by the M-Throne Empire. After the smoke cleared, it was obvious that this would only be the first of many engagements and the Iron Symphony Alliance was now effectively at war with the M-Throne Empire and Magikstrate, President Lahey did not sanction the attack, and was told of it in the middle of the night. Rather than have Shulga Arrested, he drank himself into a stupor that night and During that time, Shulga took control of the DuGA AI system, and in turn took control of the Shock Forces across the entire sector, he used them to strongarm his way into a coup,Luring most of the government and military elite to his station for a major announcement, and then arresting government members and Lahey's lackeys while proclaiming himself Grand Marshal of Galacia, Lahey learned of his betrayal from the confines of a hospital bed and was then sent into hiding.

The Second Imperiya was more or less, just a major change in government, however worthy enough to be considered the start of a new era. At the end of the day Shulga would cite his reasons for doing what he did, was "Greater Galacia was being sent adrift by a drunk, and with hard days ahead, it needs a strong hand at the helm" literally meaning that Shulga trusted only himself and his confidants to govern the empire. This new Imperiya would fight a short internal conflict with Republik Loyalists before defeating them and forcing them into hiding, most would join the Southern Zagorian systems that were already in revolt. For a Short time, Galacia was in open war with the M-Throne Empire, and Imperial Magikstrate. A seperate, overlapping conflict with Space Austria still rages as of R2018, albeit most Galacian involvement in the conflict comes from rogue officers and non-state actors.

Shulga, Kazakov and several other important Galacian leaders went missing shortly after the peace summit. And were believed to be lost somewhere in the Zarkipatta Nebula for months. In their absence, Hostilities with the Peacheneg Armata Coalition have renewed, the USA Has Invaded parts of the Gold Sector on behalf of the Zagorian Systems Conglomerate, Cherhovna Bryhada and Syndikat are out of control, and have begun attacking the Imperiya, and each other. And to top it all off, there are rumors of a new force coming from the west.

For years, Galacia had no official insignia or emblem, Grand Marshal Shulga created an Ornate design resembling ancient slavonik runes and started using it around the Empire shortly after taking over

R.2018 Interregnum and Monolith event

Following the Arhus Crisis, several dignitaries and diplomats travelled into Volhinyan space to sign the Treaty of Spartak, officially ending the crisis. Onboard Admiral Kazakov's own flagship, the Igor Basiltsky, Shulga, Kazakov, and Zarkharchuk, the top three in the line of succession of the Imperiya, all went missing after Kazakov served booze to his crew, and accidentally shot the ship near, or into a black hole. The Basiltsky dissapeared for almost 9 months. and During that time, the Imperiya entered a period called the "Interregnum" or the "Time without an Emperor"

Meanwhile, the 45th Union annexed the Kopachy system after the peaches there defeated the Cherhovna Bryhada. The Bryhada then attacked the Peacheneg Armata Coalition in an attempt to steal large amounts of Tibinium that had recentley been discovered in the Balkani cluster, the Kopachy Militia followed them, and their conflict spilled over into PAC territory, the PAC swiftly ejected both parties from their space, and then took over Kopachy, kicking out the 45th Union before they even had time to set up in their newly annexed system.. The Cherhovna Bryhada then attempted to bait the Imperiya into fighting the PAC on their behalf by attacking PAC ships and then retreating into Imperiya territory. Eventually this worked and PAC ships were then destroyed by Imperiya naval forces for violating their territory. Both sides called foul and went to war. Unfortunately, PAC were more than a match for the Imperiya so close to their own territory, and the Peachenegs defeated the Imperiya in several systems, pushing them back to the Kazimaz system.

Elsewhere in the South, The newly established Zagorian Systems Conglomerate had also just evicted the Cherhovna Bryhada, and blamed the Galacian Imperiya for not doing more to stop the group who was now deemed a terrorist organization. With the Imperiya in shambles, now fighting against PAC, Syndikat and the Bryhada in the west, The Systems Conglomerate violated the treaty of Maripol, and annexed the systems in the Tusk DMZ. Galacian and Zagorian ships would begin engaging in border skirmishes along the Tusk DMZ border with Galacia.

The Interregnum was a disaster for the Imperiya, by the time Shulga returned, it was entirely possible that it may fracture from the inside. Bickering generals and admirals had gone rogue. Entire corporations defected and gave their assets to foreign countries. And some of the lesser client states of the Greater Imperiya were starting to exhibit dissent. Mid R.2018 would be another period of massive, messy clusterfuck for Galacia.

Just as what was becoming known as the Third Gold War was brewing, Shulga returned after being stuck in time, he quickly tried to restore power in the Imperiya, and then retired from public life after the government was left in control, a few nights later, his mind was probed by the Monolith, who in a dream, tricked him into creating a psychic link between the Monolith and the Psi-Realm. For reasons, and by means unknown. The Monolith created a pulse of energy that erased the entire gold sector and hundreds of stars around it in some kind of black hole, When it subsided. A single planet, Butt Remained. The rest of the Gold Sector had been wiped out, Torn apart and reassembled in the Plate World Realm known as the Monolith Battleplates, in a different dimension

Governance

The Imperiya is a federation of five slavonik republiks and one administered territory united under one government. Each of these regions has it's own cultural niches and to some extent, different customs and laws but they are all more or less united by the Federal Imperiya Law

  • Galychna Federative Imperiya Republik
  • Slavonya Imperiya Republik
  • Strenza Imperiya Republik
  • Sturgia Imperiya Republik
  • Volkinyatta Imperiya Republik
  • Mozorov Imperiya Territory

As of Q3 R.2017, Galacia is essentially a Lighthearted Autocracy led by it's "Emperor", Alex Shulga, . At it's core despite it's head of state having absolute power through military coup, The Emperor essentially did so to "guide" the nation through troubled waters as it's previous elected president was a reckless drunk. And it's government was full of corrupt pencilnecks who sat around getting drunk and fat while the country fell apart. Shulga seized power and Fired or arrested most of the politicians, the ones he left were given low level jobs where they had very little real power.


Galacia under Shulga's rule was a heavily socialist state, with heavily regulated businesses limited in how big they can be allowed to grow, Major infrastructure companies that manage things like communicaitons and energy, were monopolized by the government, Basic access to the necessities is provided by the state, and the state works to keep the number of commodities that were only available in the private sector, as low as possible

Many functions of the state were simply not set up, the Military maintains direct control over several aspects of the state due to a general distrust of politicians and lazy beauraucrats. For example, there is no proper civilian court system. Each region has it's own bylaws, that were enforced by a combonation of military, federal police, and militias. And courts were generally just a chain of lackeys that report back to the regional governor.

The Imperiya was ruled by a military style council called the Kommissariat who managed day to day operations of the Empire, as well as held regional authority over their assigned districts. While few in comparison, there were still several civilian or otherwise non-military members on the council. Usually brown nosers who slipped into the council, The rest of them were usually in power as a result of Nepotism from either Shulga himself, or other Kommissariat members

Eventually, during the Interregnum period, when Shulga dissapeared for 9 months.. An emergency council took over to keep the peace. Massive riots erupted and some dignitaries and elites fled the Imperiya. Eventually the emergency council decided to form a new, temporary government coalition of both Military and Civilian elite. This new council would be called the Rada, and would consist of both regional governors as well as advisers and experts of certain fields. The Emperor's position was kept as the supreme leader, albeit in absentia. The mostly Civilian Rada would hold most of the power as the Military leaders could not be trusted to not fight amongst themselves for the position of "Caretaker". The chain of command had been thrown into a tailspin with several of the line of succession having several of it's top members missing alongside Shulga.

Upon his return, the Imperiya was in the midst of the worst internal crisis since the Zagorian rebellions, Shulga gave the Rada his blessing, and with a few more Military elite back in the mix, he then retired from the public eye and went off on a personal campaign to investigate strange visions he had experienced since returning to the Gold Sector.

Culture and Society

Galacia takes it's name from a subsection of the present day USSSR, The name was passed down after a small group of refugees fled the communists in the Purple Sector, and landed on Elkoss, merging with the local population. In early G.R 2016 the Elkossian Federal Republik changed it's name to the Galacian Republik in homage to their roots.

While somewhat refuted today, Galacians who descend from the refugees, are technically considered Genetic "Cousins" of the Soviets and Poles. Genetic relations are generally irrelevant though since most minifigs share ancestry through the Deadly Space Men

Galacian society can be both arrogant and humble, a large percentage of the population identify as simple citizens and colonists who want nothing more than food on the table, a house that doesn't look like shit, something to do for fun, and to witness or participate in some violence once in a while. Most Galacians live in towns and cities, in small private homes or apartment buildings. A smaller percentage of the population live outside of cities, in the countryside or outskirts of their colonies, however this is seen as a risk as security forces are notorious for abuse and outright killings of Minifigs outside the cities, given their paranoia of rebel activity.

Galacian culture is very intolerant of Peaches. While slavery is banned throughout the empire, this hasn't stopped them from refusing to grant citizenship to the peach population depriving them of the right to vote as well as many other basic liberties enjoyed by non peaches, and Corrections facilities are often full of peaches. This hatred and flat out racism comes from an itense grudge most Galacian minifigs hold as a result of the Great War.

The national pastime of Galacia is "Team Ice Fighting", which appears to be little different than Ice Hockey, but weapons are often used in fights, like sticks, benches, and whatever the spectators throw on the ice. Fans are known to jump onto the ice and join a fight or start one in the bleachers too.

The national animal is the husky breed of dog. The national "colors" are Orange and Sometimes Red. although the military primarily uses white and black. Alcoholism is widespread in the empire, getting shitfaced is considered a right of passage, and one that is repeated every other week.

Economy

While a member of the G20 sitting just above the 45th Union, Galacia's economy is basically that of an oligarchy, While the nation itself is considered very wealthy, the people are poor. More minifigs are considered poor or lower middle class than the opposite. Basic necessities are widely available and affordable, but personal luxuries are few and far between. The Imperiya and it's predecessors are stuck in an almost eternal War economy, priority for funding and manufacture is usually given to the army and navy upkeep in subsectors of conflict, only the core regions that don't experience conflict are able to gain some resemblance of prosperity.

Galacia's export economy revolves around supplying the necessities like ABS and Energy to smaller neighbors, and selling specialist niche goods to the larger ones. Most of it's trade is done with empires not native to the region, because shipping is a disaster outside of the Eastern Gold sector, due to constant wars.

  • Food - Galacian agriculture on "green" worlds is considered a galatik breadbasket, and is the largest supplier of food exports for the entire Shire Arms of the Galaxy, and the 3rd largest for the Western Arms.
  • Military Goods - While Galacia does not export advanced military hardware like Starships and Tanks, it does produce a staggering amount of small arms that usually find their way into black markets and wars all over the Western Arms
  • Electronics - While No one ever dreams of having a Galacian TV, Known for being exceptionally shitty and prone to explode. Galacian personal communications equipment from the Motrolla company are considered one of the best "radio" systems available for armies across the galaxy
  • Autos - While most Galacian civilian drivers use either Imported autos, ramshackle domestic brands or the few but hilariously dangerous repulsor hovercars. Galacian Motor brand SUZU is known for making Motorcycles that are great for minifigs killing themselves in a blaze of glory on.
  • Natural Resources - Boasting a respectable mining industry for Red, Blue and Green Transparent elements. most of these are usually turned into something for either energy generation, or military use. then sold

Technology

The Gold Sector as a whole has a very large disparity of technology distribution, Galacia is no exception, While technically considered a TL7 tier empire, due to their ability to develop rudimentary teleportation as well as experimental inter dimensional travel mediums. Most of this Technology is reserved for the scientific community and the elite. Most of the Imperiya functions at a TL6 or TL5 level, Hover cars and advanced electronics exist, but are not widely available outside of the larger colonies. Many colonies still hold the structures built from a TL4 or TL5 era that have been refitted with modern tech, like solar panels and smart doors.

Religion

The leadership of Galacia is secular, and it's society is mostly tolerant of spiritualists, Two major faiths are followed in Galacia, they are not exclusive of one another given that one of the faiths revolves around the worship of living saints, who happened to follow an older religion. A third faith, the Trianglist Church however, is an outlawed religion in Galacia given its cult behaivors.

Subfactions, Organizations and Groups

Major Galacian Companies, Corporations and organizations

  • Militsiya - the official federal force that polices the populace on Galacian worlds not requiring military occupation.
  • SUZU - An automotive manufacturer specializing in high performance motorcycles for domestic sale and export
  • Kybov-Sich - A military small arms and equipment concern
  • Urving Energy - An Energy and Resource extraction giant (Eventually moved operations into the Systems Conglomerate and had remaining assets seized)
  • Z.I.T - A technological institute responsible for the research and development of most of the empire's tools and toys
  • Spazprom - A state energy corporation that was set up to serve Galacia, using a lot of stolen equipment from the former Urving Group

Military

Galacia has one of the largest standing militaries in the Galaxy. Ranking somewhere between 6th and 12th, by it's own estimates.

While individual branches vary, Officially the overall membership rate in the military as a whole stands around 70% Volunteers. and 30% Conscripts, In reality it's more like the opposite... with Rumors of some of those conscripts being former military and civilian prisoners, brainwashed into fighting for their captors.


Army

Imperiya Armiya

The Galacian Ground Forces, now known as the Imperiya Armiya is primarily Infantry based. Fielding Regular squads of 10 or 14 troops. As well as a wide range of specialized or elite troops, including paratroopers, commandos, engineers, psionics, and multiple types of shock infantry. Galacian combat doctrine suggests that the most powerful and important aspect of war is it's most simple element, the mighty minifig. Galacian soldiers recieve good training by galactic standards, and are exceptionally well equipped. The most basic infantry squad is often equipped with multiple grenades, rockets, machine guns, medikal tools and an array of communications equipment for each individual squad.

While having a very large number of footsoldiers, the Ground Forces also field large numbers of transport vehicles, Armored carriers, Battle Tanks, Logistics vehicles, and an array of air support. As well as a very expansive support network of non-combat services. Trucks, APCs and IFVs are attached to infantry squads as they are needed. Battle Tanks are often fielded in tank columns or platoons based on the weight class of the vehicle, having both modern medium and heavy tanks in it's motor pool. Galacian vehicles typically carry heavy armor with extensive "Up-Armor" modifications, their firepower is impressive and their weapon ranges are greater than average

The common GR Ground force strategy is that of overwhelming firepower and sheer brute force. A favored tactic of ground forces is to assault with pincer maneuvers and suppression fire, and once the enemy has been boxed in on multiple flanks, to unleash heavy artillery from armor and infantry units into the clusters of enemies for maximum effect. While not always perfect, Galacian ground units also are capable, and prefer to engage their opponents at somewhat longer distances than is usual elsewhere.

Equipment

Weapons

Prior to R2015, The Galacian Republik, Elkossian Empire and other predecessor states used a rag-tag force of planetary militias, there was little uniformity and only the most basic of standardization among the weaponry within the combined Military. Prior to the reforms of R2015-2016 The small arms used were primarily ballistic slug firing weapons. These weapons were widely produced but had several variations between planets. Many of those weapons are found all over the Gold Sector today, in the hands of Criminals and Terrorists.

The Reforms of R2015 saw the unveiling of Pulse weaponry, Utilizing Light Blue power cores, Pulse weapons were an energy based system that fire gasseous rounds with a superhardened kinetic property, essentially keeping the properties of both an energy and kinetic weapon without the drawbacks of ballistics. Pulse shots would typically go in a straight line at blistering speeds and they carried the stopping power of a miniature freight train. One drawback was that these weapons were incredibly loud. A platoon of automatic pulse rifles firing would be almost deafening. And some weapons that were introduced were more then capable of making a minifig go deaf, Like the Kybov Shuka Heavy Machinegun that fired over a thousand shots a minute.

For anti-vehicle operations. Imperiya forces utilize an array of light RPGs, heavy launchers, stationary guided Missile tripods, and even specialized matter disintegrating warp cannons.

Explosives used by the Imperiya come in two varieties, Tibinium based (Green), and OT based (Orange) The former was introduced as an alternative to the latter, as Tibinium Crystals are found in large concetrations around the gold sector, while still widely unknown in composition, researchers found the crystals could be melted to make excellent explosive compounds.

Armor

Imperiya troops are issued standardized combat armor dependent on their role. With few exceptions the armor is generally painted white. The Galacian homeworld is more parts cold than temperate, and many regions are a constant arctic or tundra biome. And without the resources to produce equipment for every biome out there, Galacian troops wear winter colored gear everywhere. Being from a snow planet, Imperiya troops don't mind other cold regions, but their equipment is often hot and uncomfortable in arid and desert regions. Going as far as stationing troops from puppet states that are more suited for the enviornments that they don't want to be in.

Regular Army uniforms are a copy of a Canadian design, It's not uncommon to see soldiers with fur hats and collars and other cold weather gear. They consist of a basic full face helmet with a black ballistic visor and a somewhat heavy body armor plate. Personalization is more or less forbidden as almost all equipment is issued to the soldier but remains property of the state. A soldier must buy the item outright if he wants to do things to it. Typically only Sergeants and Squad leaders have enough money free to personalize their armor, and even then this is normally restricted to helmet decals and designs.

Shock troops use a similarly colored Full body Carapace armor suit of Galacian design, Their armor is of higher quality and provides superior protection compared to the regular army. Their helmets are the most prominent feature. A double layered ballistic helm with several gadgets and gizmos including filters, voice modulators, communicators and HUDs. The helmets were designed by Shulga himself in the same form as his custom mask. Making the shock troops a menacing, faceless legion. More advanced models exist for the veterans of the shock forces

Elite Spetsnaz groups typically have unique armor designs that seperate them from the rank and file cannon fodder. VDV Pathfinders break the norm by utilizing camoflauge while the Elite Stalker Spetsnaz emblazon their armor with bright orange markings.

Tools

Infantry

The core of the infantry is made up of "Regulars", two thirds of which are conscripts, the rest are usually short term contract volunteers, citizens on the run from their past lives, or convicted criminals given the option of serving in the Army to absolve their sins. Despite being of mixed background and questionable quality, the Armiya is decently trained and very well equipped. Poor morale in some units leads to some of this hardware ending up in rebel or criminal groups like the Systems Conglomerate or Syndikat. The Military compensates this issue with a host of hardened shock infantry and other elite groups.

Navy

Galacian Navy

The navy has not seen much action since the days of the peach war, and even so the fleet of that era consisted mainly of corvettes and frigates. The modern Galacian Navy consists mainly of very heavily armored ships that carry plenty of ammunition and multiple classes of weapons, Fleets are called "Battlegroups" and vary in size. Frigates and Destroyers are most common, however the Navy boasts a considerable amount of Capital ships, Keeping with the traditions of the Ground force weapons, The best Galacian ships have very long range Gauss cannons and prefer to bombard enemy ships from a distance. And if that doesn't work, fill the void with dozens of missiles and torpedoes.

Campaigns and Conflicts

  • Gold Sector Conflict Generally accepted as a broader conflict with several independent fronts and theatres within it - Ongoing
  • Arhus Crisis- Status Quo ante bellum
  • R2016 Zagorian War - Won the war, but was ultimately for naught as the region was granted independence the next year.

Meta

  • As far as real life nations as influencers, Galacia is based on an amalgamation of several eastern european countries like Ukraine, Russia, Finland and Czechoslovakia
  • "Galacian Slavonik" is usually translated Russian, Ukrainian, or just bastardized fictional slavic.
  • Galacia is named after Galicia, an unintentional mispelling of a region in the Hungary/Ukraine border area.
  • Much to Colette and other's chagrin, Galacia has gone by as many as half a dozen monikers before it was decided on and stuck with. This includes the Brikrigton Empire, Caspian Federation, Elkossian Empire, Elkossian Dominion, Elkossian Enclave, Elkan Federal Republic. The Elkossian Empire was still used to denote a state that existed before this one.
  • Thematically, Many video games have played parts in the worldbuilding of Galacia. It was first based on the Terran Republic of Planetside, as well as the Combine police state seen in Half-Life 2.
