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
Contents
History
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 on the planet Elkoss *Known as Brikrigton at the time*, 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. 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 the state would now be known as the "Galacian Republic" 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
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. The GR Eliminated several opposing groups, but treaties, backroom dealings and procrastination allowed some powers to survive and secede. By G.R 2017 The Greater Galacian Empire had been legitimized as a superpower In the Nehellenium, at the cost of 10 to 15% of it's population breaking off into seperatist or rebel states.
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 Republic changed it's name to the Galacian Republic in homage to their roots.
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.
Religion The leadership of Galacia is secular, and it's society is mostly tolerant of spiritualists while not having many religions of it's own. The only two religions that were born in the Gold Sector are the Cult of the Triangle God, Saviors from the Stars Church. The former is banned in the GR as it is considered a violent and destabilizing cult. And the Latter is more widespread religion that dates back to the days of "Contact"
Saviors from the Stars The Savior's Church is a place of worship that honors the "Saviors" who were a group of 13 actual minifigs who once lived. In G.R 1997 the minifigs of the planet Elkoss *then known as Brikrigton* were a Tek level 3 civilization, a great plague had spread over much of the planet and the minifigs were threatened with extinction. The saviors were a group of technologically advanced refugees who arrived on Brikrigton, fleeing from the west in what today is believed to have been somewhere in the western fringe of present day USSSR Territory. These 13 made contact with the locals and provided a cure for the plague in exchange for being allowed to remain on the planet.
These 13 Saivors, who's real names have been lost to time. Mingled and bred with the locals, this would create several "royal bloodlines" who's progeny still floats around the sector today, and also created the Old Slavonic Culture of Galacia which also still lives on in present day Galacia, albeit more developed. While the Gold sector conflicts are rarely about religion, except for the case of the Triangle cult, many of the bloodiest and most intense conflicts in the sector revolve around the preservation or abandonment of the Galacian's Slavonic culture and to a lesser extent, the legitimacy of bloodlines.
When the last of the 13 died, they were all immediately canonized as saints and committed to the spirit of the planet and it's people. Today, Once a season, Celebrations are observed "giving thanks" to the memory of Galacia's Saviors from the Stars
Governance
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. 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.
Relations
- 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
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.
Alliances and Coalitions
- Immortal War The GR has no stance on the conflict and has no interest of ever becoming involved.
- 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 InsurgencyThe 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.

Organizations and Groups
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
have often been replaced by the military in all but a few worlds.
Major Galacian Companies and Corporations
- SUZU - An automotive manufacturer specializing in high performance motorcycles for domestic sale and export
- Kybov Arms - A military small arms manufacturer
- Sich Precision - Another small arms manufacturer
- Urving Energy - An Energy and Resource extraction giant
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, the overall membership rate in the military as a whole stands around 70% Volunteers. and 30% Conscripts, with Rumors of some of those conscripts being former military and civilian prisoners, brainwashed into fighting for their captors. Conscription is significantly more common in the Army, than the Navy.
Galacian Ground Forces
The Galacian Ground Forces, or Army 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 generations of heavy 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 radio 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.
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.
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.
GGF Regular Army
Regular Army Infantry The core of the infantry is made up of "Regulars", two thirds of which are volunteers on short to mid term contracts, the rest of which are usually made up of conscripted citizens that were unable to find work by a certain age.

Heavy Infantry
The GR Army fields a semi independent branch of troops usually referred to as Heavy Infantry, or the Shock Trooper Corps. These units are troops that have been enhanced with cybernetics and rigorously brainwashed into following a specific behavioral doctrine. They in some context of the phrase "Elite Troops" but within the branch there are multiple levels of Shock Trooper, including regular, advanced, elite, and a few specialist roles within each rank. They are unquestionably loyal and considerably more deadly than the regular army troops. Cold and calculating efficiency, complete brutality and cruelty onto their enemies, and even when faced with death they are fearless to the last minifig.
These Heavy units are not usually deployed alongside regulars. On multiple occasions they have been known to assault or even kill allies in cold blood when they obstructed the carrying out of their orders. This is not because of a sense of superiority or any kind of arrogance within the troops, their cybernetic enhancements are also neural, and that they think more like machines than minifigs.
Their weapons and equipment remain nearly the same as regulars, but their purpose on the battlefield, at least for the non-specialist troops, is that of a heavy assault unit, to smash through enemy forces quickly, and disregarding any threats or risks. They are organized into simple 10 or 12 troop "Units" usually given a simple phrase or number for a handle, Such as "Scythe-3". These units are deployed as needed, and each Shocktrooper officer , a "Centurion" Has a direct link to the command network. There is no real chain of command or unit structure in the shocktrooper corps. There are troops, in units led by officers, who report directley to the top command network in the region. Unlike the Regular army that uses a long and convoluted unit structure
The Shock Trooper Corps keeps it's soldiers for life. The changes they undergo turn them into more of a machine than minifig. The longterm goal of the program is to replace the entire fighting force of the army and navy with these "drones", but volunteers are very few and far between. Due to the brainwashing nature of their upgrades, the program is rumored to transform prisoners into faceless, emotionless slave soldiers.
Infantry Weaponry
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 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...
Infantry Armor and Ranking 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 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 smoked. Officers wear red visors. Top ranking NCOs and Officers use Gold visors instead of red. Some but very few units wear headgear other than the standard encased helmet.
The Galacian Regular Uniform is based off of a Canadian design, the white armor and warm clothing was used as many of Galacia's core worlds experience long or year round winter conditions and became too much of a logistical issue to get theatre specific armor for every world.
The chain of command in the Galacian army is long and convoluted. Requiring many years of service or extreme feats of heroism to reach the upper ranks.
Enlisted: Private, Senior Private and Corporal NCO: Junior Sergeant, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Senior Sergeant and Master Sergeant Officer: Junior Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major Commander: Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier, General, Marshal
Enlisted soldiers, making up the grunts of the army, who wear white armor, white helmets and black visors.
Non-Commissioned Officers, consisting of experienced veterans who make up an important link between the Officers and Grunts. They wear armor identical to Enlisted. Except most will have custom decals painted on their helmets. This however is not true for Heavy infantry units, while consisting of mostly NCO ranks, are not allowed to customize their armor. Squad leader NCOs will have orange striped armor.
Officers, consisting of the company and battalion commanders of the army and the most common symbol of authority on an army base. Their armor is usually white, and sometimes consists of maroon trim. With Red visors.
Commanders, being the top brass of the military; generally wear their own outfits. However grey arms, red or white epaluettes, and gold visors are the typical features of commanders below a Two-Star General. After which, personalized uniforms and outfits become commonplace.
