Fiction:Allied Terran Republic

The Intergalactic Human Republic is a union of human and near-human civilisations formed in the 28th century.

Humans have had various spacefaring civilisations in the Milky Way for over ten thousand years. Humanity had been transplanted from Earth in earlier times by aliens using them as slave labour, or to protect them. Some of these evolved into different subspecies or had been genetically manipulated ("Near-humans"), resulting in different cultures and technological advancements. Throughout Earth's history this transplantation occured until the industrial revolution. Because of this, there are some worlds which retain ancient Earth culture, and even one world where Neanderthals had survived.

When the original humans from Earth embarked on the interstellar age in the mid-22nd century, they encounted not only aliens, but various near-humans around the Milky Way. Resulting from this spread humans diversley populate the galaxy and have influenced it in many ways. Due to their differing ideologies, there have been many wars between humankind, which is unusual to most truly alien species which have regarded humanity as barbaric because of it. In the 28th century after the Imperial Civil War and War of Ages, most of the Milky Way's humanity had united.

Society
The Human Republic is a mixture of a democracy and a republic, although the rules and rugulations can be decided upon within the various smaller members which make it up. The economy of the Human Republic is neither communist or capitalist, but it is said to be on the way to post-scarcity. The Human Republic itself is rather neutral towards alien races they are not allied with, but imperialistic expansion is not one of the goals, although response with deadly force is not unheard of. As already stated, there are many different members, each developed unique ideologies, goals, cultures, beliefs, technologies and so on. The Republic as a whole does not interfere with these, although it does push for "united goals": 1) to become one united species and civilisation; 2) to explore, fulfilling the same curiosity that drives all Humanity.
 * Government and economy
 * Foreign relations
 * Cultural goals

Technology and infrastructure
Individually, different members have different technological applications and levels. Some worlds (protected planets) are even in iron age-level developments, while others like quadrantia humanity have intergalactic travel.

By the 24th century, terran humans and their federation allies had faster than light capability, matter/energy conversion, antimatter production, replication and teleportation, terraforming and so on. By the 28th century, most human civilisations had merged causing an influx of technology; subatomic disruptors, turbolasers, multi-layered shielding, planet busters, quantumscale materials science, posthuman cybernetics, wormhole keys and intergalactic travel. Because of this, the Republic has low to mid-range tier 2 technology.

In the Milky Way Cooperative
The Human Intergalactic Republic on it's own only rates at around kardashev II, but has become involved with The Civilisation, with some colonies joining it's society and sharing the noosheres and astroengineering megastructures with other alien members.

Before the Republic
This story is not just only of Homo sapiens from Earth, but various races that make up the Republic.


 * Origin of near-humans: The first humans to leave Earth were not Homo sapiens, they were the Denisova homin, or Ashtar, as they became known as. Leaving Earth as Homo sapiens were still leaving Africa, the Ashtar advanced to ascension eventually.  As for Homo sapiens (or "Terran's") (modern Earth dates will be used), their first civilisation, the Kei'Un tribe accidently had awoken the Xhodocto, after they left Earth, it had become known to the galactic community, and one of the Ashtar's offshoots, the "Greys" and "Symbionts" (created by the Greys), posed as gods and took Humans from Earth, transplanting them around the galaxy, genetically modiefying them to beceme strong and resillient warriors to make great hosts.  However, the Symbionts weren't the only alien race.  The Ashtar also distributed several communities of humans around the galaxy, in order to ensure their survival.  These transplanted humans adapted to the different planetary conditions, evolving into several subspecies ("GER"-humans), or modiefying and hybridising their own genetics ("Tweaks" and "Rianths") abnd advancing on their own.  Earth was finally left alone after the Krassio declared it the center of the universe.  The various split races of humans all advanced differently, in accordance to their evolved, changed or hybridised biologies.  Some of these rebelled against the Symbionts, who themselves had build several galactic empires.  One such race even became a galactic empire, but mysteriosly began to decline, where it is now a Tier 4 civilisation.
 * Terrans: During the 20th and 21st century, the original human species became advanced once more, achieving STL interstellar flight by the end of the 21st century. They built early versions of the warp drive and met other nearby Near-humans.


 * Unification period: Between the 21st and 27th century, alliances were forged but there were also many wars. Different near-humans had different opinions and goals, some were imperialistic.  During this time Humanity began to realize its shared origins, and the fact that malevolent alien races were to blame, and began to stop warring upon each other.  Homo sapiens allied with other humans and began to rebell against the likes of the Symbionts and Founders.  After their defeat, they became a political power in the Milky Way by the 24th and 26th centuries.  This rise of united humanity made some alien races nervous and faced threats several times, by such as forces as the Grox.   During this time period humans also built a new race, the Jovar, and made peace with the BSNC, who eventually shared their space and culture.

After unification
In the 27th century, this unified Federation dissolved into the early Human Republic, who focused on traid for some time. They explored the nearby Quadrant galaxies, meeting and allying with the Rambo Nation. Not long after, the Tigris War had broken out, and the Human Republic conducted a daring and failed assualt on the Xhodocto. They began to rebuild and were unheard of for a while. By the mid 27th century, the Milky Way and some other galaxies descended into a massive "World War" with many political powers of many galaxies fighting one another (the Imperial Civil War), combined attacks from the Borg, the Grox and the Tokzhalan Empire cuased a heavy hit to all human races. The Tokzhalan bargained with humans, forcing them to unite altogether, and after that they were left alone. The Intergalactic Human Republic had formed. It is said during this time human nature finally began to change, becoming more careful of the environment, becoming less greedy and more tolerant of each other and of course less chaotic. After this unification, some alien civilisations began to respect Humanity more as a whole, and they ended up joining alliances such as the Seven Starr Alliance and the Milky Way Cooperative, and helped the Seven Starr Alliance finally rid the Milky Way of its native Grox.

Individual fleets
Even though the Human Intergalactic Republic now has united its member empires technology and militaries, some individual ships are still highly effective.
