Captain:Apollo

"War is ruin, predicted and then remembered as glory."

- Apollo

Aedanius "Apollo" Cretacea, more commonly known by his taken name, Apollo is the Gigaquadrant renowned, known for his very successful tenure as President of the , his endeavours to restore freedom to the during the  and his dual role as Proconsul of the  and ambassador to.

A native of Caprica City, Apollo grew in the loving care of a caring family, a family nearly destroyed by a terrorist bombing in the city when Aedanius was mearly twelve years old. This event gave Apollo an early sense of pacifism and justice. His relationship with his famous father, was strained as a child in the aftermath of this event but was rekindled after Apollo was forcibly drafted into military service during the. During his service, he saw the deaths of his friends and family alike and grew to despise violence and war.

Afterwards, he ran for office and was elected to be a senator of the Caprican people, a position that gave him a great deal of power in the Senate of the, which helped him be elected to President of the. As President, he was instrumental in reforming the Cyrannian Federation into the United Republic of the, which he steered through many conflicts and dark times, such as the and the , as well as marking their place as a mighty Gigaquadrant superpower. However, the sights of higher powers worked against him, and he was eventually forced to flee when the was formed. Eventually, the Empire gave him a reprieve, allowing the former President to travel freely.

Using his newfound freedom, Apollo organised a monumental conference between all major powers of the Cyrannia Cluster, which ultimately resulted in the formation of the. Though he was widely wanted for the position of President, he turned down the position to, instead serving as the chief diplomat, or Proconsul of the Republic and the official ambassador to.

Early Life
Aedanius Cretacea was born on the planet in the year 26 BNE to the young couple, Willelmus and Muleua Cretacea. Aedanius was an only child and had a generally happy childhood, being very interested in the subjects of law, alien cultures and politics. In his teenage years, an event occurred that caused a rift to develop in his family, a terrorist bombing in the middle of Caprica City, killing Muleua and cutting a hole in the relationship between Aedanius and his father.

Trucinex War
In the aftermath of the first strike of the, Aedanius was forced to join the military which was compulsory at the time, with the government trying desperately to defeat the new threat, choosing the new name of "Apollo" for himself. Apollo quickly trained to become a pilot, escaping Caprica just before the planetary bombardment began. Apollo became a great warrior during the war, and yet he hated what he was doing, which damaged his self-esteem. Nevertheless, within four months of the war he was already seen as one of the 's elite warriors. Two months later, Apollo was told my his father that a great battle was about to be fought on the planet, homeworld of the Trucinex. Admiral Cretacea had heard about his son's exploits in battle and decided to send him on a serious mission to rescue Cyrannian prisoners of war. Apollo accepted, battling through hordes of Trucinex warriors, before finally liberating the prisoners.

Thanks to Apollo's efforts in the final battle, his father offered him command of the Amber, a ship in the Colonial Navy. However, Apollo refused, his time in the military was over.

Senator
Apollo decided to run in the elections for the Senator for Caprica in the Senate. While originally, the press didn't take him seriously as a candidate, Apollo's charisma and charm eventually paid off, defeating his adversaries by a wide margin. Once in office, he became a thorn in the side of his political enemies, gaining a huge following and becoming increasingly popular with the people of the Core Worlds, and Cyrannus as a whole. By the time the next Presidential Election drew closer, Apollo decided to run for the office, having many ideas that would make the galaxy a better place. When President Inviere and Apollo were having a Presidential Debate in Caprica City, the fiendish General Zillum of the launched a massive invasion of the planet, intent on destroying the Capricorn Sector Alliance in revenge for the CSA helping their allies  in the. Zillum managed to capture both Apollo and President Inviere, though they were later rescued by Admiral Cretacea. After a lengthy battle between Apollo, President Inviere and Senator Mion of Leonis, Apollo was elected President.

Intergalactic War
Apollo became the youngest President in Sector Alliance history, at the age of twenty four, this caused his opponents to question his experience, but generally his election was well received. Despite promising to lead the Sector Alliance to prosperity, he didn't foresee the coming of and the beginning of the. After suffering major defeats in the opening stages of the war, Apollo had a theory about the future of Cyrannus and decided to act.

Apollo travelled to, the capital of the and managed to convince the Federation Councilors to reform the Federation into a grand galactic republic under a centralised government, a stronger front against the evil Cognatus. Though a new election was arranged, Apollo won it without question, becoming the first President of the new state, the.

Several months later, Apollo travelled to and met Empress Ramashe, leader of the nation for the first time. When he arrived, he was greeted by Ramashe and a certain attraction grew between the two. The two leaders spent two days together on the Rambo Capital and by the time Apollo left for the, Rambo Nation and the Cyrannian Republic were well on the way to becoming a great alliance.
 * Affairs with Rambo Nation

During the Intergalactic War, the Cognatus made many attempts to kill Apollo in the hopes of severing the head of their heretical enemies, but they failed each time. Meanwhile, Apollo managed to sign a peace treaty with the sinister, thus allowing the Republic's military to concentrate on the Cognatus.

As the war went on, the Cognatus eventually invaded the Twelve Colonies, killing billions and trapping Apollo on Caprica. Meanwhile, the also arrived, under the command of Zillum. Zillum was intent on not kidnapping Apollo as before, but killing him once and for all. Managing to track down the President to a bunker in Caprica City, Zillum surprised Apollo, though the crafty President managed to stun the General and escape. After the war, Ramashe and Apollo were reunited and began to consider starting a relationship.

Antebellum
In the aftermath of the war, Apollo led the Cyrannian Republic to a new era of peace and prosperity making it one of the foremost Gigaquadrantic superpowers. After the Intergalactic War, Apollo won a swift election against the opposition, granting him a second term of another seven years. The Cyrannian Republic began a massive military buildup under Apollo's orders in the years after the end of the Intergalactic War, with massive new Star Destroyers, such as the entering active service.

During this time, after an encounter with the dreaded Angazhar, Ramashe and Apollo decided to end their romantic relationship, but remained best friends. Only a few weeks later, Apollo met with his childhood friend, and the two became smitten with each other. The press were very interested in the new couple and picked up that they planned on getting married after several months of courtship.

These rumours proved true and two weeks later, Apollo made a public statement, declaring his love for Gianne and their wedding, which would take place on Gianne's homeworld of Coruindia. Arriving on Coruindia the day before the wedding, Apollo was never overwhelmed by the support, with billions of individuals keeping a close eye on the wedding, from either on the scene or on the holonet. The wedding was presided over by the, an old friend of Apollo and had many special guests, such as Ramashe, and various others, including Apollo's father and his new wife,.
 * The First Family

The young couple moved into the Presidential Palace on Orbispira, living happily together. Two months later, Gianne became pregnant, delighting the President.

Great Cyrannus War
Soon afterwards, the began, embroiling both the Republic and their Confederate enemies. Apollo began the busy job of steering his nation through a war and preparing for fatherhood. He soon left Orbispira to the new senate building on Corunnia, where he met with the Rambo Founder, about the concerns that the Founder had about Empress Ramashe. Apollo was worried about his best friend, however, this worry quickly dissolved into happiness when his children and  were born. Concurrent to the war in Cyrannus, the Republic also became involved in the, during which Apollo had a nightmarish vision of the future thanks to the sinister machinations of the fiendish. Though Apollo dismissed it as a bad dream, the Republic became embroiled in the Black Fog War. During the first few weeks of the Black Fog War, Apollo sent military aid to the homeworld of Puria near Republic space in the hopes of repelling an invasion from. However, when this attempt failed, Apollo attempted to contact only to come face to face with the sinister mad scientist known as. Apollo accused Errr of engaging in an unprovoked attack against both the Republic and the Ermitant. By the time Apollo closed communication, the Republic was now at war on two fronts.
 * Year One

After the celebrations to mark the new year, 2 ATC, Apollo retired to his room on Orbispira, where he was visited by a curious little creature known as Gorf, who teleported him across the universe, from a URC planet, to a CAS base, to several wild planets and finally to Empress Ramashe's palace on the Rambo Capital, where he was witness to 's infiltration of Rambo Nation. Later in the year, Apollo was contacted by Empress Ramashe of Rambo Nation, who visited Apollo and his family, informing him of the truth regarding Dhazhrak and the startling fact that she was pregnant. Their discussion soon turned to political matters and the threat of the CAS. The two agreed that Rambo and URC fleets should unite like during the Second Galactic War.
 * Year Two

During the later stages of the 2 ATC, the Republic and Rambo Nation came into contact with a Remnant of the Cognatus Alliance. Much to Apollo's surprise, he found, the leader of the Cognatus Remnant, very friendly indeed. The meeting was a great success and Voro'Acetee left Corunnia in peace and friendship. He also met with Koluap and Jerkon of the, during which the Dracs agreed to aid the Republic in the war.

As the new year began, he evil entity known as Mar-Júun decided to pay Apollo a visit. Mar-Júun attempted to murder Apollo in his sleep, but was stopped by a Miluiel. After a fight, Mar-Júun attempted to keep Gianne hostage, but ended being pushed out of a window by Apollo. Afterward, Apollo got himself into a sticky situation at Loktia Resort, where he was forced to fight against his will, along with UNOL members, and. The group eventually got out, and the result of the events there ultimately helped improve the URC's influence.
 * Year Three

Later during 3 ATC, Apollo was once again confronted by dark assassins, Mar-Júun and, though their assassination attempt to foiled by an unknown entity which protected Apollo. However, his troubles were not over. When the blockaded the Perliama Run, Apollo and the Senate were in crisis. Luckily a smuggler known as Ramtalia and a ragtag fleet of smuggling vessels lifted the blockade, when he returned to Orbispira, Apollo personally congratulated him.

On the Run
When the Battle of Orbispira ended, Apollo was shocked when a figure calling himself declared that he was a traitor and reformed his beloved Republic into the. Apollo and his close supporters were forced to flee with the  who headed for a rendezvous point to think about what had transpired. They all agreed that the (as it became known) should evacuate to the Cyrannian colonies in the Quadrant Galaxies, where they could hopefully find solitude and the chance to fight against the new Hyperpower and restore democracy to the galaxy. His allies, the provided the ship in which he would escape in, the Last Hope.
 * First Year

Apollo's voyage brought him to places such as and an unknown world once belonging to the, all the while evading Imperial forces.

Soon afterwards, Apollo became aware of a situation on the Astral Queen, one of the many ships in the Republic Remnant's fleet. A Draken named claimed to the fleet that Apollo's leadership was false and demanded that he step down and open up free elections. Apollo hated terrorists and sent in marines to liberate the ship. After they were successful in rescuing the captives and arresting the prisoners, Apollo declared that elections would be held. Zare'Anne was up for a fight.

When the Remnant entered a mysterious starcluster on the very edge of the Outer Rim, they were attacked by what appeared to be a fleet. Just as all hope seemed lost for Apollo and his fleet, the Cognatus carrier that rescued him from at the beginning of the Dark Times, appeared at the battle, and sacrificed itself to save the Republic Remnant. Apollo was reunited with Voro'Acetee, who joined the fleet in a military role.
 * Second Year

During an Imperial attack against the Remnant, Colonial One, Apollo and Colonial One was separated from the main fleet, when it was forced to flee from. Finding themselves deep in the Unknown Regions, they witnessed a massive battle raging between the and the, who appeared to be fighting over a wormhole believed to lead to the. Hoping to strike a deal with the Grox in order to access the wormhole, Apollo was kidnapped by the Grox, being assimilated into being a member of the so-called Neraida. Commanding Colonial One to return to the Remnant or face assimilation, Apollo prepared to reunite the so-called .
 * Assimilated

Eventually, Apollo acted as the main force behind the reunification of the Gigamatrix, acting as the primary "diplomat" in the new superpower. Later in the year, Apollo's Cube ambushed and assimilated the Obliberator, flagship of the dreaded Imperial captain.

Eventually, Apollo's fleet was drawn to the ancient world of Amemoriam in the now famous Battle of Amemoriam. During the battle, the Remnant, joined by Koluap, Jerkon, and an ancient AI known as the  infiltrated Apollo's Neraida Cube. During their infiltration, Apollo pounced at the team, only to be shot down by the Adjunct's laser. The blast managed to melt away Apollo's cybernetics, thus returning the President to an organic state. When Apollo returned to the Republic Remnant's new flagship, the "Spirit of Freedom", he was reunited with Gianne and his children. Apollo then set about thanking his saviors, as well as extending an invitation to Doctor Kenders and the Adjunct to remain with the Remnant, which they gladly agreed to. Apollo took the day off before finally announcing his return to the public, being met with a great welcome. Apollo got to work almost immediately, preparing for the upcoming Presidential Election.

In the run-up to the election at the end of 02 NE, a presidential debate between Apollo and Zare'Anne was called to be held on the Spirit of Freedom. Though Apollo began well in the debate, when Zare'Anne leaked that Apollo had been a drone, Apollo was left at a disadvantage, ultimately losing the Presidency. Though angered that a former terrorist was now in command of the Republic's most symbolic light of hope eventually came to terms with his defeat and decided to spend time with his family on his new home, the Zephyr.
 * The Election

A Changed Life
Soon after Zare'Anne won the election, he abandoned the voyage to the and ordered that the Republic settle on a newly discovered planet he named Shaorá. Apollo thought that the idea was foolish, but landed on the planet nonetheless, where he enjoyed several days of happiness with his family. This soon came to an end when the Empire arrived over the Shaorá, forcing the fleet in orbit to surrender.

Apollo was arrested while his family were shipped off to. Apollo was brought to, where he met with , the second in command of the Empire. The two made an agreement that Apollo would be allowed to go free so long as he didn't speak out against the Empire. Reluctantly, Apollo agreed and travelled to Caprica to make sure his family were safe.

After a few weeks of rest and relaxation on Caprica, Apollo and Gianne accepted an invitation to the Royal Wedding between and  in the. Apollo became involved in a conversation regarding the emergence of the in Andromeda and decided to volunteer his services in spelling an end to the threat, despite Gianne's objections.

Dominion War
"We're in a pickle over here."

- Apollo

The next week, Apollo and Gianne went on a romantic meal on the tallest tower of Caprica City. The two stayed up all night watching the night sky, before slow dancing under the glow of the moonlight. The next morning, he said his goodbyes to his family and left for the Borealis Galaxy, specifically the world of Anatezc-ji 0. While there, Apollo met with the other members of the team, though he remained mostly quiet as he listened to the plan of action.

They soon travelled to, capital of the tyrannical. In the ensuing firefight between the team and Kicathan ground forces, Apollo managed to aid the team and left the engagement unscratched. The team then entered an ancient vault. While exploring the vault, the team was unfortunate enough to encounter a "Meta-Xhodocto", though they luckily managed to escape using a nearby portal. However, this portal led to the domain of demons, the. Apollo and the team encountered many terrors during their time there, but ultimately left, travelling to a relatively minor Dominion planet. Eventually, Apollo and the team received reinforcements from the and various other warriors, increasing the number of the team to twenty-four. During his stay at the Dominion planet, Apollo obtained a pair of Cult Pistols to use in adittion to his Presidential Pistols and remained with the group, aiding them as they infiltrated a series of Dominion spaceships. As the group approached the Xhodocto megaconstruct Draynia, Apollo was briefly kidnapped by his old Corruptus enemy, and later fought him and.

Apollo would then participate and have a large role in the climatic confrontation at the megaconstruct Draynia, where had been revealed to be possessed by. As the rest of the group did their best to fight Santorakh, Apollo fooled the Xhodocto into attacking the megaconstruct's infrastructure, causing it to collapse. Upon their return, however, he received a message from home about an unknown matter, and was forced to leave the group. Apollo would be teleported back home by Kithworto, ending his participation in the Dominion War.

Road to the New Republic
Upon his return to the, Apollo travelled to his homeworld of , where he expected to find his loving family waiting for him. Unfortunately, several weeks prior to his arrival, Gianne was assassinated by under secret orders from Apollo's nemesis,. Apollo travelled to the Rambo Capital where he was reunited with Ramashe and his family.

Soon after arriving, Apollo was told by Ramashe about her political alliance with of the. Apollo warned his friend to remain vigilant around him, but that he had no issue with the alliance. A few days later, Ramashe told Apollo about the transmission of the  sent to the Nation. She admitted that she felt uneasy about the Exiled Republic, but Apollo insisted on paying the Republic a visit in the hopes of learning their motives.

Apollo travelled to the capital of the, a lush planet known as Apatalore. When he arrived he was greeted by, who led him into a dining room where the two leaders drank wine, ate the best food the Exiled Republic had to offer and discussed the future of the democratic movement in the.

During the meeting, Apollo managed to ensure Apaltar that together they would regain the trust of the natives of the and form a new Republic, inviting him to attend a conference between the civilisations of the Cyrannia Cluster in order to discuss the future. To Apollo's delight, he accepted and Apollo was soon on his way back to Rambo space.

"Belay that order captain! We are not here to wage a battle. We are here to wage diplomacy."
 * Hutters and the Andormaru

- Apollo, after Aponida orders an attack on a vessel.

In gratitude Ramashe dispatched Captain Apanoida of the newly launched USS Excelsior to aid Apollo with any mean at her disposal. Though she was initially surprised, she agreed to take Apollo where he wanted to go; the Kingdom. Due to the old alliance the Hutter had with the URC, they agreed to talk with Apollo.

Using his diplomatic skills, he managed to convince the Hutters to attend the Cyrannia Conference and left Hutter space in peace. He then travelled to Quadrant 21, in the hopes of meeting with the. Though at first Tharis was sceptical of Apollo, he managed to calm her suspicions with a mix of flattery and charm. By the end of their meeting, Tharis even expressed her desire to join the New Republic and agreed to attend the upcoming conference. The two leaders soon left in peace.

Several weeks later, Apollo managed to convince himself to give the Conference his blessing and ultimately managed to start the monumental conference on Concordia. By the end of the Conference, most of the Ambassadors agreed to allow a new Republic to come into being. A day later, Apollo addressed a huge crowd on Concordia and ultimately founded the. When his speech was finished, he hugged his children and kissed Ramashe on the cheek, making her blush.
 * The Conference

Proconsul of the New Republic
"I cannot right the wrongs of the past, but I can hope with all my heart that both our great nations can once again find themselves in the embrace of peace, fraternity and friendship. Our two civilisations are linked at their very core, and it is my hope that we will remain linked."

- Apollo in an address to the Rambo Senate.

Though most wanted Apollo to become the Republic's first President, he refused as he wished to spend more time with his family. He did however accept President Apaltar's request for him to become both the New Republic's Proconsul and the Republic's official ambassador to Rambo Nation. Several weeks later, Apollo represented the New Republic in a speech before the Rambo Senate, informing them of the Republic's intention to ally with Rambo Nation. Ultimately, the Senate decided to continue their alliance with the URC, making a new Alliance unnecessary.

Several months later, Apollo watched with pride as the New Republic grew into a peaceful superpower respected across Cyrannus. From his new home on the Rambo Capital, Apollo represented the Republic at many official state functions and Senate meetings, all the while improving his relationship with Ramashe and his kids. During the fifth month of 03 NE, Apollo and his family travelled to Mou'Cyran, newly discovered capital of the Republic. Due to his efforts to restore democracy, Apollo symbolically began the colonisation with a speech. However, when the appeared in orbit, Apollo found himself and his family trapped on the surface. Ultimately however, the Regellians called off the attack, allowing Apollo and his family to return to the Quadrants.

While on a state visit to the, Apollo learned of a possible Rambo attack on the New Republic. Shocked and refusing to believe the report, the state visit was cancelled and Apollo rushed to the Quadrants to sort out the diplomatic mess. When Apollo arrived at the Rambo Capital, he was approached by Kya who informed him that Ramashe wished to see him. When he arrived in Ramashe's quarters, Ramashe demanded to know why a New Republic fleet was amassing to attack Station. Irritated, Apollo informed Ramashe of the Rambo attack on the Republic though claimed that he didn't believe that the Rambo were truly behind it. Instead, Apollo decided to investigate the matter, leaving some tension in his relationship with the Empress. The next day, Apollo travelled with Ramashe to Lianna Station. The trip to the station was quiet, with both Apollo and Ramashe not saying very much to each other. When he arrived, Apollo spoke to many individuals such as of the,  of the Hutters and Chuinaylia of Rambo Nation. Apollo later listened to Ramashe's speech regarding the demilitarisation of Rambo Nation in the hopes of promoting peace and exploration, something that Apollo agreed with.

Physical Appearance
"He's dreamy..."

- An fangirl.

Apollo is several centimetres taller than the average height for adult male Libertus, and possesses russet protofeathers, as well as a plume of red feathers on his head and tail. Considered very attractive by fellow Libertus, Apollo had no problem finding potential suitors in his life, foremost among them, Empress Ramashe and. Because of this, he has a very large fanbase among his admirers. Though he is generally kind-hearted, he has been known to use his good-lucks to get what he wants, at least when he was younger. Apollo is often considered to be quite dapper, and is usually seen wearing the very best in the latest fashions, often being pictured in "Best Dressed" lists during his term as President.

Wardrobe

 * Casual Suit
 * This suit is made from feathers and is considered to be stylish, formal yet comfortable. The suit is mostly cream with wine-coloured details along the shoulder pads and torso-wear, while Apollo wears the outfit with ring-shaped jewelry just below his knee, a common style on his homeworld of . Apollo has favoured this particular style since the beginning of 03 NE and has been known to wear an all-black variation while in mourning for his deceased wife, Gianne Inviá.


 * Formal Suit
 * This is Apollo's official garb as Proconsul of the, though he has used it in the past when he was gathering potential allies, such as the Kingdom and the . The suit is made from a similar material as his casual suit, though is considered more formal, with a long tunic and shoulder pads which extend outward from the shoulder. Apollo enjoys wearing this suit to official state-dinners or while meeting important figures. The suit was designed by tailors on the Rambo Capital and has many Quadrantia influences.


 * Cold Weather Gear
 * Apollo's cold weather gear is rarely used as he rarely finds himself an icy planets. Nevertheless, Apollo has used this gear since the, when he signed a peace treaty with the Empire on an uninhabited ice planet. Since then, he has used it occasionally such as when the  located a world that was once dominated by the . The gear is made from special insulating material, which keeps him warm even in the most inhospitable climates.


 * Warm Weather Gear
 * Apollo's warm weather gear consists of shorts, sunglasses, a single shoulder pad and a backpack containing just about anything needed if he should ever become trapped in an inhospitable hot climate, from a H20 replicator and an pistol. The gear doubles as casual wear whenever Apollo visits the beaches on the Rambo Capital with his children and Ramashe. Leaving him bare-chested, the gear is popular with Apollo's many admirers.   If you know what I mean.

Personality and Traits
"I can always rely on him as both my best friend, and as a loyal confident. He really should spend more time to himself. That would conflict with the whole "service to the people" side of his personality."

- Empress Ramashe and

Apollo always aspires to do the right thing, often at any cost, he possesses a thoughtful rationality and a strong code of ethics. He has served in the Capricorn Sector Alliance military, however in the end he felt inspired to follow in his senator-grandfather's footsteps by joining the Senate of the. Fallout from this momentous decision led to his resignation from the military, something that he was forced into in the first place, due to civilian conscription. Apollo then became a civilian and served on the Senate as the Caprica Delegate before becoming President. His new role helped him unite the, by reforming the ineffectual into the. His loyalty to freedom and democracy can be seen in his continued role as President of the, refusing to be apart of the.

Often considered to be one of the Gigaquadrant's greatest orators, being an extremely persuasive and passionate speaker, which could often be seen in his speeches as a senator, and later as president of the United Republic. Despite his love for the Republic, he often doubted it's capabilities, especially in regard to the seemingly ineffective nature of the Cyrannian Senate. In relation to this, his loyalty to the people of Cyrannus transcended his loyalty to the often chaotic senate. His love for politics however, is complicated. Though he views the democratic system as far from perfect, he believes that it is the best system for his people. To this end, he was heartbroken when the was formed, which destroyed almost all that he had worked tireously to build. From the moment of his hatching, Apollo matured very quickly. However, when he was in his late teens, he was conscripted into military service in order to fight in the, something that he loathed, being a man of peace, not violence. Apollo despised the conscription law, appealing it as his first act of President. Despite being a selfless individual, who rarely puts his desires above those of others, Apollo is determined, strong-willed and restraint. It has also been said that he is too easy to forgive. While this is usually a good trait on his part, such as his friendship with, it can occasionally serve as a problem. Nevertheless, his extreme popularity can be seen even into the era of the Empire, where many former members of the Republic respect him, even after being branded as a traitor by the Imperial government.

While his closest relationships are obviously his wife (before her death), his father, his children Laoi and Kara and his best friend Ramashe, Apollo has many other friends, particularly his aides within the Republic, and later, it's Remnant, such as Athan Apostila. Generally, in terms of relationships, he is confident, and yet composed and polite, in general, he avoids alcohol. However, he is known for his sense of humour, and speaks in a High Caprican accent.

Like many of his people, Apollo is an atheist.

Alternate Timelines

From Himself
"I swore an oath to defend the constitution of the URC. The constitution says there is an election at the end of the year. Now, if you are telling me that we should throw out the law of presidency, then I am not your president. Popular rule is not democracy."

- Apollo, on calls for him to extend his term.

"Will the citizens of Cyrannus know peace? I certainly hope so, but for now, I don't see it. While often considered by others across the Gigaquadrant as being the safest and most orderly galaxy, war can often be found in its roots. Yes, the citizens will know peace, but only after we win."

- Apollo, at the beginning of the

"Treachery and hope is a foul mixture. The Confederacy approached us with a truce, only to attack the senate just prior to its inaugeration. Our enemy is more devious then we imagined. But your government, ever your servants, remains strong and true. And we will protect your sovereignty and rights against those who would take it from you."

- Apollo, at the failure of peace talks between the CAS and the URC

"To create a free and civilised union, dedicated to the freedom, liberty and self-determination of all, we the people declare a New Cyrannian Republic! With the aid of the people of Cyrannus and the Quadrants, our New Republic will become a shining beacon in the darkness of space, for you see a civilisation of the people, by the people and for the people shall never vanish from this universe. Kalos Mercu!"

- Apollo forming the

"I cannot right the wrongs of the past, but I can hope with all my heart that both our great nations can once again find themselves in the embrace of peace, fraternity and friendship. Our two civilisations are linked at their very core, and it is my hope that we will remain linked."

- Apollo to the Rambo Senate.

From Others
"A great leader and person, he is seen in Rambo Nation as democracy itself. He is cunning tactician, diplomat and isn't afraid to call upon his opinion or to tell it to others. He is highly honored among the Cyrandia Alliance. And perhaps, he is also kind of cute..."

- Empress Ramashe of Rambo Nation.

"Apollo is one of my closest friends. He's kind, he's wise, and he always does what's right. To be honest, I wish I was more like him. He's also one of the best beings in the universe to have a drink with!"

- Chief Ambassador Carillion of the GIE

"A valiant leader, no doubt. He will fall to my blade, and mine alone."

"He is the embodiment of the Republic and all it stood for. He will prevail in restoring it."

"An honourable ally."

"The greatest of our creators! Born again!"

"He may not be the "bad guy", but that doesn't make him the "good guy"."

"You impress me, Libertus."

"Rogue drone. Unacceptable."

"Best of luck for you!"

"It is inspiring to see you back on top of it all. I wish you luck."

- Kithworto

"Look here. This Libertus might fight for the good cause, might not be a traitor, and the Empire he's fighting might be not so benevolent as it seems, but I would rather see one person dead than untold billions. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

- Primarch on the interview

"Haaaah!"

- Agent Nu

"Politics is a dangerous game. I applaud him for persevering with his ideals as much as he has done. Also I must remember to provide him with weaker drinks the next time he visits."

"I've heard of you, sir... and I gotta admit, I am impressed. A lot. You sure are a tenacious person."

"He is a good man, we seem to possess similar ideals."

"A man I can look up to and respect, he is certainly a capable fighter as well."

"A great Libertus. I can't help trusting and saluting him."

- President Draicon

"A most disturbing figure. A strong defender of democracy, blind to the fact that even the Republic's democracy can be corrupt he will one day realise it and then it will be too late. The only ones he can have support of will be of the Rambo then, if they still exist at that time. Nonetheless, he is a great leader and stands for his people, the only things I admire about him. Upon his fall, the Imperial Alliance will welcome him with open arms, where he will live the rest of his life in misery and torment!"

- Galactic Emperor of the Imperial Alliance

"He has achieved much in his past years and is to be very respected. He has past the trials of war and hate. I admire him for his leadership abilities. Apollo does not just rule with fear or force he rules with respect and honor. This is a rare and special quality, never to be forgotten."

- Captain Votarah

"WAT KIND OF A NAME IS APOLLO IT SOUNDS LIKE A PILE OF RUBBISH STOOPID DUMBO HES A WASTEMAN HE IS"

- Zr'Ahgloth or Da loronz

"I have seen everything this individual has achieved, and I am impressed. That in itself is high praise, but this Captain's actions deserve more. I, for one, would prefer to stay on his good side."

- Blademaster Hel'Bre'K of the Fordan Empire

"And the day shall come, when this Capricorn Sector Alliance shall gain a new leader, their new president who shall lead them through greatly troubling times and acchieve many things that previous leaders have not. This leader shall make them into a new organization, a new super power. The tale of our "brothers", who share our creator, shall be well known throughout the ages."

- And old Taldar writing

"He's, uh, a tough guy. Really strong, and a great leader. Survived a hell of a lot and pulled his people through all he way."

- Mac

"Is this being aired? No? Ok. Apollo is a great Capricorian. He helped his kind even in their gravest hour, not to mention the Pepis too. Well, as they said on Earth many years ago, Fortune Favors the Bold!"

- High Priest Pepis

"He is a fine leader for a fine nation. I cannot even imagine a president that would be more loved by his people."

- Emperor Aturox

"President Apollo is a wise and kind being;we greatly appreciate the help he gave us."

- Society of STEVE

"An interesting person. I would like to meet him some day."

- Tyton Sialis
