Fiction:Tybusen Intergalactic Allied Federation/Alternate History

During the TIAF's history, there are many things that could have gone wrong. Many aspects of the TIAF could have been different from the main TIAF that participates in the First Gigaquadrant today. This page lists the different events and how a change in their outcome could have changed TIAF history.

''Note: The alternate outcomes stated are the most likely to occur. Other possibilities, such as unprecedented natural disasters, or other unpredictable events are completely possible, but far less likely to occur, and thus, do not appear on the list.''

Genesis Era
The young nation was small, weaker, and developing. Any change would drastically alter the fate of the TIAF.

TIAF Constitution Signing, 270 SY, pre-TIAF time
This is the event which started the TIAF. Any alteration to this event would cause devastating effects to the Federation. The delegates of the Tybusen, Metedarl, and Singtoo met on planet Dunus-2 to sign the Constitution. As soon as the delegates signed it, the TIAF was born.

Main timeline outcome: The Constitution was signed. The TIAF was created.

Alternate outcomes:
 * Certain delegates were absent. The Constitution was not signed on the specified day. Later, the remaining delegates either are killed or cannot return to Dunus-2. The Constitution is never signed, the TIAF does not exist.


 * The signing is interrupted by the Popper Empire, a nation then hostile to the Singtoo and wary of the Tybusen. The delegates are killed. The Constitution is destroyed in the process. The replacement delegates cannot agree on a new plan, the Constitution is never signed, the TIAF does not exist.

Popper Controversy, 290 SY, Warring Empires Period
Early during the Warring Empires Period, Captain Lorrelas (at the time at the rank of Brigadier General) was sent to settle a dispute between the Popper Empire and Kirgle Empire over the planet of Malis. However, when he arrived, the Popper fleet fired on Lorrelas' Tybusen fleet, which was supposedly a neutral faction. When news reached the TIAF legislators on Tropicana, Councilmen and Representatives flew into an outrage, demanding that the Popper be punished and ejected from the TIAF.

Main timeline outcome: General Lorrelas convinces the Grand Assembly to give the Popper a second chance. The Popper apologize and assure the government it will not happen again.

Alternate outcomes:
 * Lorrelas' pleas for forgiveness fail, and the Popper are ejected. Angered by this, the Popper convince their friends, the Quinals Empire, to secede from the TIAF and form a new alliance. This alliance proceeds to go to war with the TIAF, resulting in the total collapse of the TIAF. The Popper-Quinals alliance later collapses to an inability to agree on important issues.


 * Lorrelas' pleas succeed. As in the main timeline, the commander of the Popper fleet at Malis is ordered to be executed for treason. However, the commander escapes his captors and frees the members of his fleet. His crew rebels against the Popper, and succeed. The commander's regime orders war against the Tybusen, believing them to be the cause of his punishment. Tropicana falls, and the TIAF disbands. The individual nations continue to live to the present, but are sharply divided.

The Big Freeze, 295 SY, Warring Empires Period
When the Tybusen Space Program ran out of money, all Tybusen spacecraft were grounded, and the Tybusen experienced a sense of isolation from the rest of the TIAF. Near the end of this period, the unpopular Emperor Jultain II was killed, which would mean new elections. Among the candidates was Mark Xavier, an ambitious Tybusen who would start the Tybusen Comeback and give birth to the Xavier dynasty, an overall successful family across the years.

Main timeline outcome: Xavier wins the election, starts the Tybusen Comeback, and saves the TIAF.

Alternate outcomes:
 * Xavier loses to rival Jacob Devidies (an ancestor of Ambassador Katelyn Devidies in the Wental Express Crisis). Devidies, a conservative politician, does restart the Space Program, but does not follow an ambitious revitalization campaign like Xavier. Devidies succeeds in establishing new colonies, but not too many. Eventually, Devidies' plan proves far too cautious. The Great Kylessan War eventually starts to spread north towards the Tyrusan Star Cluster, as a lack of Tybusen intervention allowed the Intimadando to gain an ally in the Spodist Coalition of Boree and the Hoggiraptor Church (both TIAF members who had tired of the Tybusen, but would have stayed if the Tybusen intervened in the War). The power of the Intimadando overwhelmed the Fernikki, a powerful member of the TIAF. With that obstacle out of the way, the Intimadando proceeded north to conquer the Tyrusan Star Cluster. Devidies' short recolonization campaign would prove to be his fall, as the small Tybusen Empire stood no chance against the powerful Intimadando. The Tyrusan Star Cluster eventually fell, and the remaining TIAF members in Kylessa and Erion united to prevent the Intimadando from attacking them. The two parties agree to peace. To this day, the sector still remains divided between the two factions.


 * Xavier wins, but does not receive funding from the Imperial Council to start the Space Program. Xavier's plans for the nation are crushed by the event, and he eventually commits suicide as he tires of the slow progression of the Tybusen. A new election is held, and Devidies defeats his rival, leading to the future mentioned above. The Tybusen would have less time to prepare for the Intimadando, and so the events of the alternate future above are accelerated.
