Captain:Apollo

Laoi Apollo Cretacea known officially as Apollo is the current president of the United Republic of Cyrannus. Apollo previously served as the Caprican delegate to the Capricorn Sector Alliance Senate until his resignation after his election in the year 6 BTC.

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 Laoi was mearly twelve years old. This event gave Apollo an early sense of pacifism and justice. His relationship with his famous father, Cretacea was strained as a child in the aftermath of this event but was rekindled after Apollo was force able drafted into the Trucinex War. During his service, he seen the deaths of his friends and family alike and grew to hate war.

Afterwards, he ran and was elected to be a senator of the Caprican people, a position that gave him a great deal of power in the senate, which helped him get elected to be president of the CSA. He is regarded as the greatest president in the history of Cyrannus, for bringing in great changes such as the CSA's reformation into the URC.

Captain Apollo
Apollo is the son of Admiral Cretacea and is the current president of the United Republic of Cyrannus.

Early Life
Apollo is the only son of Mulier and Admiral Cretaceous. He was born on Caprica and from an early age he wanted to get into politics. He was a carismatic speaker but in his teenage years fate intervened and his mother was killed, to make matters worse, he was drafted into military service, which was complusery at the time.

Trucinex War
Luckily Apollo escaped Caprica during the Trucinexes evil assualt on a run down fighter and regrouped on Cancerti. He fought in many battles of the following war but his most potent battle was that of the Second Battle of Nex. A rebel group of Trucinex had retaken the city of Trucinia and kidnapped a very important asset to the alliance. The city ruins were being protected by a group of turrets of which Apollo destroyed easily. When Apollo arrived at the ruins he discovered that Captain Rambas II and some Rambo Troops were exterminating some Trucinex fighters. As Apollo moved through the city he was forced to kill 3 heavily armed Elite Troopers, the battle was close, but Apollo prevailed. The city looked eairy as skyscrapers had fallen and Basestars had crashed into some. Eventually Apollo made his way down an empty valley until h came across the 'asset', A young woman named Roisi Silfrey, who was in charge of a top secret goverenment program, Apollo than followed orders and led Ms. Silfrey to a teleporter which took them to Admiral Cretaceous, who congratulated his son and awarded him the CSS Amber.

Senator Apollo of Caprica
However, Apollo was done with war, and became Senator of Caprica, however during the Second Galactic War, Imperial intelligence reported that President Inviere and Senator Apollo were having a Presidental Debate in Caprica City. General Zillom of the Mortalitas landed near the Presidental Palace and made his way there.

He encountered members of the Caprica City Police which he destroyed easily. He found Apollo and the President and escorted them abroad the Benevolent in orbit. The Benevelent was being attacked by the Caprica Home Fleet and the Fleet of Retribution which jumped in near the orbit of Capricas Moon of Lunasa. However another Imperial Fleet, numbered in the thousands began firing on the Alliance Fleet. The Allied forces we're doing well against the Imperial Fleet late in the battle with the loss of the Super Star Dreadnought.

However the Benevolent under the command of General Zillom was putting up a fierce fight in orbit. It was then that Admiral Cretaceous and Rambas II arrived aboard the CSS Independence. The Admiral landed near a prison where the president and senator Apollo were being held. He was met with resistance in the form of Imperial troops and walkers. After battling the Imperials he moved to the prison and freed Inviere and Apollo. He escorted them to the Independence in orbit where the Allied Fleet was mopping up of what was left of the Imperial Fleet. The Benevolent however fleed the system. The Admiral however decided to hunt down the ship and bring Zillom to justice.

Presidency
Apollo is known for bringing about great changes such as the recent transformation into the URC. The Cyrannus Republic was formed from the previous Capricorn Sector Alliance, after its name and organisation became redundant. Political geniuses said that if the CSA was to survive it must become a galactic govenment, and so the United Republic of Cyrannus was formed by the Articles of Colonisation which has been signed by both the President, his ministers and some of the URCs most powerful allies. The document itself was signed on the planet Caprica, home of the Capricornian. The Caprican Senate voted with 100% the creation of the new government as the URC is similar to the CSA as it is a federal republic (Colonies are unified but can make there own laws to a certain degree). Like the CSA before it the URC is a major intergalactic superpower and is a member of the G8, the most advanced, rich and powerful nations in the universe along with its close allies the Rambo, DCP, CoreFed and Sylits.

Apollo is credited as the greatest president in over 1000 years for these great changes.

Resignation from the UAN
The Senate, began to grow tiresome of the UANs corruption and biasedness. They seemed to ignore the Pepis call for aid, and they went extinct soon after, luckily a few survived thanks to the DCP and the URC. In order to help the Pepis Remnant, the URC called on the Intergalactic Republic to give aid to the Pepis, who found the IR far more useful at getting things done. Many other empires including the DCP and the Pepis themselves have left the UAN.

Meeting with the Adelphi
During the final stages of the Intergalactic War, Captain Ramcard of the USS Dallas was patrolling the outer rim of Quadrant 82, in order to patrol for the Imperials and the Cognatus, he was feeling rather bored, but his day would eventually get alot more exciting.

All of a sudden, a massive strange looking ship jumped into the location of the USS Dallas, Ramcard did not know what empire this ship was from as it was definitely not a known enemy ship. The two warships very nearly collided, but they lived to open communication with the other. Ramcard was shocked when he saw that the figure he was speaking too, very closely resembled a Capricornian!

The figure identified himself as Captain Coura of the Federal Republic of Adelphi, and claimed to come in peace, Ramcard was cautious but eventually agreed to escort the Venture to the Rambo Capital, where both President Apollo, Empress Ramashe and the members of the Cyrandia Senate awaited an explanation. Coura was even more surprised at seeing Apollo and the Capricornians, whom she likened to the ancient stories of the Libertus, the race similar to the Adelphi. After realizing that the Capricornians and the Libertus were one and the same, he contacted his homeworld so that the leaders could meet.

The meeting between the leaders of the FRA, URC and Rambo Nation forged a great alliance that day, because the FRA is a native of Quadrant 82, it even became a member of the Cyrandia Alliance, it was a bright day in a darkening war.

The Final Battle


On the colony of Libran, the rulers of the most important nations in the war meet for an emergency meeting. However the Cognatus armada approaches!

Admiral Cretacea was sent to guard the leaders of the nations from harm, however he grew worried about their safety. Scorpia was successfully destroyed by a fleet of only one hundred ships, how would the rest of the colonies fare against an even larger fleet. Attending the meeting was President Apollo, Empress Ramashe, Emperor Wormulon, Hierarch Kroc, Admiral Shaw, Warlord Kilnok, Captain Rambas II and Captain Votarah. After the meeting was completed, Shaw informed Cretacea, of a huge Cognatus fleet numbering in the tens of thousands just jumped into the system.

Cretacea swiftly escorted the leaders to Apollo's official flagship, Colonial One just as ten Cognatus troops landed. Cretacea with the help of his marines defeated the invaders but over seven of his men died. Cretacea was then beamed up to the CSS Pegasus in orbit, just as the allies and the Cognatus began to clash.

Apollo was extremely sad and worried when Ramashe was injured during the battle and was relieved to see that see survived.

The Confrontation
This was not the first time, the Mortalitas general Zillum tried to kidnap Apollo, this time he was determined to succeed. He sneaked his way to the Presidential Pyramid in the besieged capital and confronted his nemesis...

''Zillum? So now the Imperial Alliance is doing the Cognatus' dirty work?''

Hardly, we are both allies, and our new alliance insures that we will rule the Quadrants!!

''Oh please. You have been defeated twice, the Cognatus will turn against you!'' Apollo replied, hoping that his natural charm will stop the angry Mortalitas.

''Hahaha!! I am not one of your female admirers. Now come with me. The Galactic Emperor wishes to execute you personally''.

Over my dead body! Apollo reaches into his pocket and pulls out his Presidential Blaster, momentarily stunning Zillum. As Apollo is beamed up by his father, Zillum lets out a scream that would make even Emperor Wormulus jump, just as a blinding light appears from the window. Hmph...Looks like the Cognatus found what they are looking for!.

Beginning of the Classic Era
As the Republic emerged from the terrors of the Intergalactic War, for the first time in months growth began to emerge. The economy of the URC grew extremely fast for a nation that was so heavily effected the war. In mere weeks after the portal opened, the Republic reached pre war levels and once again rivaled the other nations in the Great Eight.

President Apollo began to send diplomats and ambassadors to other nations, hoping that they could stop a repeat of the Intergalactic War. A few days after the new era began, the Cult of the Deathmarch actively began to hunt down URC ships in the Milky Way, Apollo sent Captain Adraci of the CSS Resolute to lead to attack force against this evil alliance.

President Apollo also plans to meet with Empress Ramashe...

Chance at Renewal
At the end of the Intergalactic War, the Thirteenth Tribe decided to give the Libertus Capricornians the choice to evolve to another form, as an award for there bravery in the stare of great danger.

The gift was presented by the Miluiel, fellow Capricornians and members of the URC. President Apollo agreed to evolve into this form as an example to his people, about half of all Libertus (Apollo and Shaw are two famous examples) decided to evolve while about another half choice to remain the same (Such as Cretacea and Helio Roslia). This change has made the URC even more diverse, with many more Libertus taken the new form.

Fall of the Imperial Alliance and Rise of the Republic
Apollo soon received word that his enemies of the Imperial Alliance had fallen due to an inward rebellion. He was overwhelmed with happiness and shared his delight with Empress Ramashe. However, this happiness soon left after he received word of the Imperial Alliance's successor, the Confederacy of Allied Systems had been formed and attacked the URC's friends the Adelphi. This set in motion an event that would forever change Cyrannus, if only he knew it at the time...

Wedding with Gianne Invia
Even in these dark troubled times, celebration could be found around the corner, one of the keystones of this era was the great gala as Apollo married his childhood sweetheart, Gianne Inviá of Coruindia. The wedding took place on Coruindia with the Rambo Founder presiding over the lovers.

Hundreds of people attended the marriage with billions more watching on the holonet. At the wedding, many famous faces from across the universe attended, such as Apollo's best friend, Ramashe, Emperor Wormulus II and Admiral Cretacea. The wedding was a huge success and will be remembered for years to come...

A Happy Day
In the months following Apollo and Gianne’s wedding, they moved into a luxury apartment in Caprica City where they lived happily together as a couple. Soon after, Gianne had some great news for him... she was pregnant! Apollo was absolutely overjoyed by this new arrival, however he decided to leave it from the citizens for a while. A few days later, he granted the lovenly annoying Diplomat Lezia of the Asgord passage to Orbispira in response to numerous death threats.

Personality
Apollo always aspires to do the right thing, often at any cost. He is a former Viper pilot and the son of Admiral Cretacea, Apollo possesses 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 URC. Fallout from this momentous decision led to his resignation from the military, he then became a civilian and served on the Senate as the Caprica Delegate before becoming President.

Apollo is very attractive by Capricornian standards and is the subject of lust for literally billions of females across the universe, he can also be very charming and uses this to his advantage, yet he is a force for good. However despite his extreme popularity, some other politicians say that he is so intent on doing the right thing, that he does not do the smart thing most however dimiss these claims.

Colonial One
Colonial One is the primary mode of transportation used by Apollo, and likewise all URC presidents. It can travel faster then any other ship in the URC Fleet and can use its engines to escape any fight it can't win.

Inside the ship, it is luxury incarnate with all that Cyrannus civilization has to offer.
