The United Republic

The United Republic was a unitarian democratic nation that was founded in the Core/Inner Rim of an alternate Star Wars universe. It was formed shortly after the Meta Wars, in which a collective of criminal syndicates, former military officials, discharged Meta-Soldiers, average civilians, and a handful of political leaders decided to form a separatist state in opposition to the many tyrannical and oligarchical factions which dominated the universe. While Chancellor Pike commanded the faction from its inception, acting as its founder, its current iteration hasn't exactly been formed per say, but instead separate branches of the Republic being commanded by former leaders within the faction going their own separate paths, but sooner or later, the Republic shall unite again to provide the spark of hope the Multiverse needs.

ORIGINS

The United Republic was originally the Pike Syndicate, a third-party faction participating in a primarily two-sided civil war within the Meta-Nerdz Realm between two paramilitaries. Initially, the Syndicate acted as a criminal element, selling weaponry to both sides while dealing narcotics to beleaguered civilian populations in refugee camps. Through these activities, the Pike Syndicate grew in power, monetary gain, and influence, eventually managing to absorb branches of the Black Sun into their fold until becoming the Galaxy's most powerful criminal organization. Their leader was a mastermind named Nathaniel Pike, a shadowy Force-User whom commanded a great deal of respect and admiration from his enforcement officers. Eventually, Pike saw opportunity as the Meta-Realm became weakened by the ongoing Civil War, and thus the Syndicate declared itself an alternative option in the continuing conflict. Among the first members of Pike's newly organized Governing Council were Sergei Vladimir; A Russian Geneticist and former Soviet Commander, Durge; A hired Galactic Gen'Daii Mercenary, and Mao Zedong; A Communist Revolutionary. These brilliant minds led many innovations for the Syndicate, primarily in the field of conventional military technology and bioweaponry. Sergei Vladimir alter aligned Umbrella Corporation's interests with the Pike Syndicate, providing it a wealth of new resources and scientists.

When the Meta-Wars ended, it was revealed both sides of the conflict had been using the war to further their own private financial interests, making it a mere corporate brushfire war that costed millions of lives. When this became public knowledge, the Pike Syndicate took advantage of outrage to begin a propaganda campaign for their organization, managing to induct millions of new members into their ranks, from civil workers to engineers to soldiers to middle-class working families. This new surplus of manpower allowed the United Republic to establish itself in the Core and Inner Rim worlds, managing to annex major planets like Coruscant, Coreilla, Alderaan, and Foerost and use their strategic placements and natural industrial capability to begin producing weaponry and gear for their fledgling army.

Despite the hopeful beginnings of this new nation, the government was plagued with hosts of problems, the main two being internal political corruption and many different ideologies fighting for dominance in the Senate. These ranged from hardlining Communists to Neo-Nazi Fascists. Pike was unanimously voted in as Chancellor by the Governing Council shortly after the Meta Wars had concluded, and thus dispatched the United Republic Armed Forces to take control of the situation, mainly taking place on Coruscant. This worked for a time, until the protests only grew more violent, and soon riots broke out in the streets, spreading thin police resources. To make matters worse, months after the United Republic was established, Pike disappeared, leaving the government in chaos and with millions of immigrants entering their borders each week and no proper plan to place them all, Nativist movements founded in humanocentrism and planetary nationalism sprung up across the United Republic, soon warping into ruthless terrorist organizations and warlord governments that ruthlessly massacred all aliens and immigrants from the Outer Rim in their territory.

To make matters worse, the Republic Senate in Coruscant had descended into infighting after activation of the Anarchy Generator and tensions over ideology going beyond the boiling point. Sergei Vladimir quickly consolidated his assets and moved from being a scientific head to a political gangster, manipulating Umbrella Corporation into more of a paramilitaristic entity. On top of this, Sergei also had access to practically all the bioweapons made in the Republic's short history and used them to their full effect, his forces committing many atrocities across the Core Worlds and Inner Rim dispatching the T-Virus, G-Virus, Blackwing, and Rakghoul Plagues among other ailments onto civilian populations to weaponize them against political opponents of Sergei whom owned that particular piece of territory. This was an incredibly devastating yet successful tactic, as Sergei had taken control over the Core Regions within two months of playing out his strategy. However, another United Republic iteration had formed on Onderon, the Commerce Resurgence, a money-worshipping war-profiteering cult led by Viceroy Nute Gunray. The Commerce Resurgence was similar to the Confederacy of Independent Systems before it, a union of economic interests backed by a private military of droids and mercenaries paid by the pooled funds of these corporate entities. However, the Commerce Resurgence also functioned as a quasi-religious government in which the acquisition of money was revered in temples and holy sites, and corporate Boards of Directors and CEOs treated like demigods, pivotal links to the Money-Lord, the supreme deity of the Commerce Resurgence. This theocratic commercial enterprise annexed many worlds in the Inner Rim, opposing the other Warlord Factions and Sergei Vladimir's Government, declaring itself the true successor state to the United Republic.

CENTRAL-COMMERCE WAR

Sergei Vladimir eventually named his government the Central Table Union, and was desperate to garner member-states and alliances against the Commerce Resurgence and other warlord factions permeating in the Outer Rim. To this end, he traveled to Planet Earth and found that Mao Zedong had created a regressive Commuist Regime in China. Sergei and his Bodyguards fought through Mao's elite guard and coerced him into joining forces with the Central Table Union. Afterwards, Sergei went to the Caribbean, meeting Captain Hector Barbossa and his Cursed Crew. In exchange for their allegiance, Sergei promised them freedom from the Curse of the Aztec Gold alongside the opportunity to plunder and pillage not only ports, but soon cities, then countries, then entire planets. Hector Barbossa and Mao Zedong became Sergei's advisers and two major allies, forming the Council of the Central Table Union. The CTU also made liberal usage of mercenaries, hiring several mercenary companies from across the Universe to serve in their ranks. They also made use of brainwashing technology, capturing merchant vessels or cruise ships and forcing the passengers and crew alike to watch hours of regressive reactionary propaganda and beat them into psychological submission. Through these ruthless tactics, and a later alliance with the Asgardian Empire, the Central Table Union was able to create a cohesive bulwark of political and militaristic clout against the Commerce Resurgence. War was inevitable.

In 1880 BBY, the first Commerce frigates passed into Central Space, sparking the flames for war. The initial battles were intense bloody for the Central Table Union, as they continued throwing literal human waves of soldiers against advancing enemy forces on border worlds, barely halting their advances and losing thousands of lives in the process. Sergei Vladimir himself was busy handling infighting elements of the Central Table Union, primarily Barbossa and his Motley Crew's betrayal of Sergei after being free of the curse and forming their own Pirate Confederacy on Alderaan, which mercilessly slaughtered local villages that refused to join Barbossa's fold. Eventually, the Pirate Confederacy took Alderaan after kidnapping the Planetary Governor's family and forcing him to concede the world to them, only for Barbossa to have the Governor and his family alike fed to sharks. Sergei Vladimir, alongside a personal vanguard of frigates, cruisers, stealth ships, and capital vessels would blockade Alderaan, causing mass starvation of the populace which Barbossa kept hostage, though the Motley Crew refused to back down. Eventually, a painstaking ground invasion was launched, in which both the Motley Crew, numbering in the millions by now, would clash with Central Troops. Despite the technological inferiority and utter lack of discipline in the Pirate Ranks, the incompetency rife in field commanders and battlefield planners in the Central Table Union allowed for soldiers's lives to be wasted in fruitless battles, eventually creating a Bloody Stalemate on Alderaan.

Meanwhile, Mao Zedong barely kept the Commerce Resurgence at bay, convincing his people of the Capitalist threat and convincing them to form into disorganized formations and throw themselves at the superior droid forces of Nute Gunray. It didn't help that later in the war, Nute Gunray made liberal use of Chlorine Gas and White Phosphorous gas to murder entire battalions of Central Table without suffering a single casualty.

These many pressures would begin buckling the Central Table, whose economic state was already in shambles with jobs being nonexistent thanks to all men over the age of 18 being sent off to fight in the military, and most women and children were staving off starvation to work in industrial factories. Police forces were unable to force them to attend their occupations because they were underfunded and undersupplied, funds sent to bolster their equipment was pocketed by local governors and officials whom lived on private villas and manors in Coruscant's Upper Districts and on the serene rivers of Naboo.

Eventually, it was clear the Commerce Resurgence was going to win the war, but Sergei Vladimir refused to give up power, instead barricading himself on Coruscant and endlessly deploying bioweapons, infecting nearly half the population of the Core Worlds with all manner of virus which made their flesh decay and their hunger for organic material spike. He then ordered his remaining forces to board gunships and drop crates of vicious zombies onto the Nemoidia Worlds, primarily Cato Nemoidia, Nute Gunray's throneworld and place of birth. The zombies would overrun local defenses, as there were no droids on these worlds since the Viceroy had sent them all to war. Thus, Cato Nemoidia was a zombie haven and became a petri dish for new vile creatures and substances which flourished, 90 percent of the population had become infected. Nute Gunray was enraged, but refused to assist his ailing people, instead responding by having Lushros Dofine, an admiral of his, hijack a Rakatan Infinite Empire era superlaser, which he promptly used to genocide planets loyal to the Central Table. This sparked a new wave of protests, and eventually Mao betrayed Sergei, creating a Communist Revolution on Coruscant to dethrone Sergei. In desperation, Sergei deployed the P-Virus, creating an army of Pickle Ricks on Coruscant which began slaughtering everyone and everything in sight, distracting the Communist Forces long enough for Sergei to collect his remaining loyalists and re-establish his government on Foerost, killing any of the locals that wouldn't submit to his cause.

On Coruscant, the Commerce Resurgence encountered an anarchic world with a Communist State led by Mao at its head. The Resurgence and Maoists formed an uneasy alliance, and both worked to clear Coruscant of anarchic remnants and bioweapon remnants to restore order. In 1799 BBY, Coruscant seemed to have retained some of its old glory and population back since the locals there breed like bunnies. However, Mao would betray Viceroy Gunray, ordering his network of spies in the Resurgence to cripple them by bombing several major factories of theirs while also assassinating Nute Gunray, thus causing the Resurgence to begin infighting amongst the major and minor corporate interests which owned shares in the institution. All the while, Mao got his hands on numerous new digital technologies, and created the Matrix, a virtual prison which he sicked on all Prisoners of War from the Commerce and political opponents in general. The Matrix developed the Agent Smith program, which Mao brought to life through technology to act as his personal police force. The Agent Smiths were incredibly effective, washing over Coruscant in a matter of days and forcing the planet to heel to Mao's Communist Regime.

Mao then began the Galactic Leap Forward, within primarily the Core and Inner Rim, but a few Mid-Rim worlds like Kashyyyk were forced to participate as well. Mao desired to force the entire Galaxy to become an agrarian society and follow his own strict Communist ideologies, in which the state controlled everything. This ended in the mass starvation of billions in the Outer Rim whom relied on food from the Inner Rim, and several warlords emerged in the Outer Rim to stand against Mao, many of which were commanded by ex-Commerce Resurgence officials that desired revenge. The Galactic Islamist Front was soon established on Tatooine by the Tusken Raider Ihmet Al-Sukra, whom interpreted the Qu'ran as a call to war against all Non-Muslims. Being an Islamist insurgent, Ihmet would force his religious ideology onto other Tusken Tribes, radicalizing his own tribe and overthrowing the Chieftain in a revolt, having him and his family roasted over a fire and consumed for dinner. The Galactic Islamist Front soon took control of Tatooine after converting Jabba to Islamic Terrorism and dedicating the resources of the Hutt Cartels to their cause. The Hutts didn't care, because while most weren't religious, they saw major profits being made in the war, and their mercenaries were simply bloodthirsty monsters. Ihmet, with a massive collection of mercenaries and loyal Jihadist warriors, declared war on the 'godless demons of Mao Zedong's spawn', beginning a Holy War against the Communist Chinese Galactic Regime by committing a series of devastating terrorist attacks in Communist territory and on Communist shiplines, severely hindering their already ailing economy, and practically making it non-existent as more planets converted to Islam and soon refused Communist goods, and some planets even took initiative and seized control of their local hyperspace Ports. The Jedi Warlord Council led by Mace Windu were also targeted, Pro-Jedi warlords had Islamist warriors invading by the millions and committing ethnic cleansing on Pro-Jedi communities. Ihmet's atrocities soon rivaled those of Sergei Vladimir as his rhetoric became more extreme by the day, until he called for a Intifada, a total extermination of all Non-Muslims within his borders, which he intended to make the Galaxy's borders.

The Jedi Warlord Faction led by Mace Windu refused an alliance request by Mao Zedong despite the precarious situation they were both in because of the Islamist threat. Instead, Mace Windu organized the Jedi into a militant warrior-culture similar to the samurai, women being treated as second-class citizens and men being prioritized for their capabilities for the Force only. Those with the Force lived as practical gods in their communities, with non-Force Users living like peasants. This caused a surge of Artificial Midichlorian sales in Jedi Space, most of these syringes were fake and deadly, causing thousands of deaths because of drug overdose. The pharmaceutical industry is largely blamed for this.

However, the Islamist movement was also beginning to show cracks, as many citizens grew tired of the extremist rhetoric and rebelled against Ihmet's armies. He cracked down on protests with ultra-violent force, creating a rebellion as Hondo Ohnaka and Toydaria formed the Jewish Coalition, alongside the remnants of the Nemoidian Population, whom formed a Japanese Foreign Legion in the Coalition ranks. The Jewish Coalition went to war with the Maoists and Islamists, making great gains against both because of their elite military destroying the disorganized rabble of both sides. The Intifada ended when after endless years of war and violence, Ihmet was killed in fighting on Tatooine personally by Hondo as his forces stormed Jabba's Palace and threw Jabba into the very Rancor Pit which he used to eat away at his problems.

The Galaxy, by now, was an incredibly devastated and depopulated place with billions dead from the innumerable conflicts having taken place. War was commonplace and planets descended into civil war. The Toydarians and Hondoians eventually split over differences on how to spread the Jewish religion, and thus the Jewish Coalition entered a five year long civil war which saw Toydarian bombed from orbit by Hondo's cruisers. The Toydarians lost all their military power and became a race of farmers and disgraced nomads, controlled by Hondo for years.

Meanwhile on Forest, Sergei had gathered a great number of new allies and forces to his banner, namely Captain Jack Sparrow, a man who desired the Black Pearl and vengeance on Barbossa for his mutiny. He also aligned with Supreme Leader Snoke and the First Order, another paramilitary faction, and with his many new forces, Sergei created the 'Foerest Spear of Power', or FSP, another highly violent extremist militant faction that began a series of genocides as they marched their bloody crusade back to retake Coruscant. Mao Zedong went to war with Sergei once again, their fleets colliding in space for control of Coruscant's space. However, neither side made any victory until Jack Sparrow managed to deploy a NOVA bomb into the Maoist Capital Ship's hangar, causing a brilliant explosion and decimation of Mao's spacefleets, as Sergei's armies stormed Coruscant in street-to-street fighting, each block of land was arduously won in a series of skirmishes as local soldiers engaged with heavy Maoist Resistance. Mao would see that he would lose the war nevertheless and utilized nuclear weapons to eviscerate half of Coruscant into jungle and farmland from which he fled into and sought to reform his Communist agrarian utopia. However, the Foerost Spear of Power gave chase, so Mao would organize the Agent Smiths and his other forces into the Vietcong, a deadly insurgency force.

By now, the Empire of Asgard sought colonies in the Main Galaxy and dispatched Admiral Rycus to take systems in their name. However, Rycus immediately encountered heavy resistance from the Jedi, by now a ruthless order of power-hungry monks. Rycus would use charismatic speeches to win over the beleaguered people, winning over the brainwashed populaces and causing them to violently revolt against the Jedi, their heads being strung as the Oversector Revolution began. However, this went badly for the Asgardians as they were quickly betrayed by the revolutionaries they helped bring about and supply, as Maxmillian Robespierre, a veteran fascist and ruthless political officer would seize control of the Revolution and guide exterminations of both the Jedi and Asgardian forces. This would cause the Asgardian-Oversector War as the Asgardians simply aimed to take direct military control of the Oversector now through any means necessary.

Meanwhile, the Foerost Spear of Power chased Mao Zedong back to Earth, where Mao was still highly popular in China thanks to his successors deifying him; primarily Xi Jinping whose administration relied on hearkening to Chinese nationalistc thought and principles. Upon seeing his God-King return, Xi gladly gave the throne of power back to his master. Mao quickly militarized China and used his connections with several other factions, primarily the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Corpus Engineering societies to receive massive influxes of automated robot armies to help facilitate full Chinese takeovers of nearby regions, primarily fully annexing Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Laos, and countless other states and forming auxiliary puppets in his wake. Upon reaching Earth with a sizeable fleet, Sergei personally led the Foerost Spear of Power attack force along with Kylo Ren and Jack Sparrow.

Sergei decided to ally with the Western Powers after China had manage to sway Russia into joining their ambitions for world conquest, NATO subsequently agreed to become a puppet of the FSP and together they formed a united front against the seemingly infinite Communist armies of the Neo-Soviet Union and Sinosphere. World War Three subsequently broke out and took place over nearly a decade of harsh battle. Entire countries were depopulated as young men bludgeoned each other for inches of ground. Eventually, the American Public were growing tired of the war and began protests, many secretly financed by Mao Zedong in a bid to see the conflict ended. In Washington D.C, anti-war protestors were shot by police units belonging to President Mike Pence. This caused a spike in anti-Pence sentiments. Brad Hammond, the current director of Counter-Terrorist Unit, used the opportunity and got into Pence's head, convincing him that the war was necessary for America's survival and to provide nothing but a harsh response to these "terroristic" protest movements. Thus, the U.S Law Enforcement became weaponized and curfews were normalized.

Initially, continuing protests were non-violent, but after a series of bloody encounters that left dozens dead at police hands, the nation broke out into a practical civil war as several groups formed large fronts of insurrection against the incumbent Pence regime. Mike subsequently suspended term limits to remain in office "till the crisis was abated" and redirected many battalions of U.S forces battling China back home to keep the people under control. Eventually, California, Oregon, Washington, and the other West Coast states along with Nevada and Montana seceded, with many others on the way. Sergei Vladimir decided to back Mike Pence and Brad Hammond's regime, stifling the many rebel fronts for a time with an orbital bombardment of Los Angeles and Seattle, killing an estimated 20 million people. The Foerost Spear of Power went on to continue pushing the war against Mao, and Sergei, Kylo Ren, Jack Sparrow, Yoshi, Major Lennox, Tom Sawyer, Santa Claus, and countless other elite warriors formed a Task-Force that went deep-cover into Beijing to kill Mao once and for all. The infiltration was ultimately a success but MSS intelligence found out about the mission, causing the Task-Force to reveal themselves and fight their way through endless layers of Chinese security and battledroids, creating a mountain of corpses in the process. Eventually, only Sergei, Jack, and Kylo were left as everyone else in their team had died or deserted out of fear. They reached the Forbidden City and fought through the Heavenly Royal Guard, with Sergei and Jack remaining as Kylo Ren was overwhelmed by them and ultimately killed.

Confronting Mao, he turned himself into a giant golden statued version of himself and there was a boss battle subsequently. Sergei and Jack gave it all they had, and through sheer willpower alone they managed to overcome Golden State God-Mao. However, by this point Mao Zedong had researched too much arcane powers and sorceries to properly die, and his corrupted spirit instead fled into the Netherrealm to recover and plot for his revenge. Nonetheless, Sergei and Jack then left Earth to resume management of the Wider Galaxy, which had expectedly gone to shit.

The Oversector War was initially successful for the Asgardians, personally led by war-legends such as Admiral Rycus Kilran and Heimdall and Thor among other fighters, but eventually the insurgency tactics of Robespierre proved too much to sufficiently handle. Thousands of Asgardian troops perished to take a single planet thanks to supply deficits due to hit-and-runs, biowarfare tactics, and Asgardians suffering ungodly attrition thanks to unfamiliar terrain and environments. The assaults grinded to a halt and eventually the Asgardians were forced to hold only a pitiful small colony in the Main Galaxy. For these failures, the major generals of the expedition, primarily Rycus and Thor, were exiled from Odin's court temporarily and left to adventure in the endless Galactic Wastes.

Unfortunately, the Oversector Conflict had produced millions of refugees that clogged the Inner and Mid Rims, along with the Andromeda Footholds in which Sergei and his FSP began colonizing to expand their borders. These migrations caused massive ethnic tension and the Nativist movements found themselves reborn again as racism against these migrants became normalized by media pieces and belligerent political factions that despised their presence and believed the Core Worlds and Inner Rim were for a "sacred people" only. Sergei attempted to belay these parties but to no avail, as they eventually formed the "Nativist Circle". The Nativist Circle declared secession, taking swaths of the Inner Rim along with seizing sections of Andromeda. Commanded by many Resurgence veterans and former Maoist generals that sought to start their own empires or simply gain vengeance on Sergei, the F.S.P found itself assailed on all sides by the Circle as their warfleets were being constantly outgunned and outwitted by the superior military minds beset before them.

Seeing that the war was going to be lost, Sergei formed an uneasy alliance with the Hondoians. Ohnaka agreed on the grounds he'd be allowed to form a sovereign Jewish state in the Andromeda colonies that once belonged to the FSP, which Sergei hated but agreed too. Sergei, Jack, and their generals fought with the Hondoians, but even still the Nativist Circle was mighty. The Nativists had also managed to ally with the remnants of the Jedi Warlord Council, and thus began adopting practices of Jedi mysticism and ritualistic killings into their society, as the Jedi had completely changed by now. Jedi Commanders led armies of fanatical savants into battle, uncaring for their own lives as they hacked and slashed against the Jewish armies of Hondo Onhaka and Sergei Vladimir's robots and elite units. Sergei decided to resume his tried-and-true tactic of biowarfare, using an edited version of the Rakghoul Plague to decimate some Nativist worlds as retaliation for their recent victory against him in seizing Kashyyyk. This backfired immensely though, as the Rakghouls garnered sentience and formed an unholy Hivemind and went on to assimilate many worlds in their own bid for conquest. The Hondoians, appalled at this utter failure, decided to secede and declared war on the FSP and keep up their fight against the Nativists.

By now, the Nativists were mostly crippled as they were subsumed into the Jedi Warlord Council. Mace Windu had become the "Jedi King" and gathered a harem of beautiful ladies as his aides and pleasure-studies as he led countless religious crusades against the FSP, Rakghoul Confederaton, and Hondoians. Jack Sparrow also saw the winds change and took his Pirate Empire to join with Mace, betraying Sergei by setting fire to Coreilla, Metellos, Plexis, and more, before seizing Skako and thus garnering the allegiance of the Techno Union's technocratic Skakoan scientists that helped him upgrade and advance his forces. Sergei was now alone and the FSP was being crippled. He decided to flee into the Coruscanti Jungles and became a mad insurgent with his remaining forces as Coruscant was stormed. Eventually, Sergei was captured after spending the remaining months of his in a Temple being treated akin to a god by his most loyal followers, and executed publicly by Mace Windu. After seizing Coruscant, Mace Windu wanted to finish up the war against Hondo and invaded the Sovereign Shekel State of the Andromeda Galaxy, with Jack's cyborg Pirates assisting. Many worlds were exterminated in the conflict, but the Jewish warriors had many sorceries and tricks up their sleeve.
