Fiction:Adresaas Republic

"The Adresaas Republic, a ancient and malevolent empire, hellbent on remaining the ones who hold all the cards. They remain the ventriloquists and us The Marionettes, as they pull the strings from their skull decorated throne, we the unfortunate beings below them wallow in the fires that spread due to their dictatorship. The ruling of once strong and righteous Leaders, fall short of cowardice and pathetic displays of corrupt and xenophobic violence. This corruption only brought on by the insecurities of the leaders in the center, paranoia and unprovoked aggressive acts will one day lead to their downfall. Yes Adresaas, you will not hold that throne forever, and when you suffer the death rattle and inhale your last sharp breathes of the putrid air you breathe, The calm after the storm will be enjoyed with your absence."

- Unknown Speaker

The Adresaas Republic had came into fruition around 6 million years ago, with semi-primitive beings known to themselves as The Agatrops, there is two instances of their ruling in The Selten Galaxy, in two separate eras. The first was The Adresaas Empire, one that had neared their collapse around 400,000 Years ago, due to a run in with a very powerful power, called The Mekkani, which had caused the Agatropian race to near death. This Empire had finally released itself in the form of a final frontier between 3 feuding empires over power and military. This fall, lead to the rise of the Republic known in modern Selten, a spiteful and Xenophobic nation with little to no cares for the ones it haunts and intimidates.

This marks the era of the Republic, a nation of which enslaves and oppresses countless cultures. The years and years of slaughter and crimson during The Great Mekkani War, which had caused their numbers to dwindle so, has filled them with hatred and oppressive thoughts. This with their political power, has lead to such harsh and corrupted political climates within the regions of Selten. Their Military might and AI Suppression, has landed them top of the list around the galaxy as the most tyrantical, and viciously hideous rulers among the nasty races that surround them.

Planetary Develoment
In The Adresaas Early Times they were busy trying to unify the planet they inhabited. There were few cities that had a peaceful outlook of each other, the unification of the species was likely take a long while as distrust and hostility was at an all time high while morale remained dangerously low. This low morale had caused a rift to form between the species, weapons of nuclear prowess had began to become available to the Adresaas, which most likely would at a point result in a nuclear winter if things were not patched up and brought together.

With technology beginning to make life easier, populations exploded inside the once scarce and few cities, causing more and more to break away and make their own colonized cities on planet Adrealis, these new cities sparked tension between the eldest leaders that owned the very first civilizations. Most of all the already under stress governmental body now had to deal with conflicts on the rise between growing nations on the planet. The Government would need to seek help from a neutral city to hatch an idea to suppress this rage and war that is closing in and which could cause the decimation of their own species.

Talcor's Dreaded Shackles
Pretty soon narcotics were the ideal solver of their problems, with the government starting to fund the new Tal.co Industries, scientists behind the company began working on a type of drink that will forcefully bring the Adresaas to the Governments mercy. This Talcor substance was being funded by many Big Companies and rich individuals, wanting to quell the violence by force if necessary. The substance used very strong and potent chemicals to weaken the Tensions in the rivaling cities. This chemical concoction was not by itself, it had a secret ingredient. The Secret Ingredient was Lasceen a very addictive powder that got into the taste-buds and minds of the people that consumed it, making them only able to taste it, this as a result made them want more to be able to taste something.

The Adresaas Governmental body at the time had been able to send out the product Talcor to 7 different cities, making bars or saloons secretly serve this product instead of the normal spirits served. Within 10 months, many of the cities had gone into a paralyzed and halted state due to the Talcor dependency. Within a year the cities had ran out of options other than to assimilate back into the government or risk the dependency to take over what little they have left. The Government had managed to use this narcotic to gain forceful unity in 2 years once the other cities fell to the same fate, This marked the beginning of a new era inside Adrealis This new era would be the Golden times of technological wealth.

New Colonial Expansion
Hundreds of years after the Forceful unification the Agatrops had risen into an era of Technological growth and expansion, finding a cost efficient fueling system involving the radiation that spews onto their planet, they managed to make better weapons and better vehicles. With this Era of advancements came more trade and more wealth for the cities and especially for the government of the Adresaas Republic This newfound wealth would become the leading cause to fund more advanced means of colonization. These funding's began going into a company called Andrela.co, a Company known for making propulsion vehicles, soon they made their first colony vessel, fitted with enough colonists to begin construction of another settlement on another planet.

This vessel was tested time after time and each time they learned more about space travel, getting them one step closer to their rise. Months after the vessels final bit of tests, it was ready to ascend into space. The vessel now in space had began its propulsion to the designated star A-24562-345. It took them a while to reach it but they soon did, and with that they had set down and began construction on their new outpost. The outpost was named New Adreal And soon the city of Adreal was erected. This Colonial expansion was just the beginning of a giant empire to be. They had just scratched the surface of what is to become of The Adresaas Empire.

New Colonial Conflicts
Years after the first settlement in new territory The Adresaas have been working hard to maintain a strong military and keep their government strong. The military had advanced greatly in the years since the golden era of Technological Wealth. The government in the years after had slowly become more secluded and kept more and more secrets from the people. This caused a rift once again between the people and its government, but due to the fear of another Talcor epidemic, they obeyed. As the colonies grew so did the population at an astonishing rate, so much so that they began a hasty time of making colony ships, and expansion became a necessity.



As the scramble for space became more of an issue, so did political issues inside the colonies, as more and more planetary outposts came to be, an unrest started to grow. This unrest was the dark child of The Governments slow corruption and the fear of what they are capable of. Small Protests started to spark up and were quickly assaulted and snuffed out by the watchful eyes of the Higher ups. As Tensions grew, so did the empire, by now they had reached 30 Colonies on different planets around the core. Soon even big companies began to see what the originally very progressive and charitable government was turning into, and began to use the resources they had to sneak plans of rebellion under the governments noses.

Adresaan Revolution
As the government showed more and more of its true colors, things were starting to look bleak. The Government was beginning to suppress its own peoples more and more, soon, rebellion was becoming a more popular theme. The rebellious Adresaas began to call themselves The Xerox. The Xerox slowly began to show itself as a savior to the people, and more and more started to join this group. The group itself was mostly made up of the younger generations of Adresaas, as the older generations were keen on keeping things as they were.

The group got more of a following during the start of The Adresaas/Mekkani War. Protesting the war only got more backlash from the empires governmental figures, calling those who do not support the empires efforts, were traitors and should be put to death. Soon demonstrations took place at the kingdoms palace, where Rebel leaders were sentenced to death by Poison. These demonstrations only fueled the hatred of the government, and following the first big hit taken from the Mekkani, a revolution took place down on the streets of the Empire. This revolution was considered just a riot by deserters in the Empires history.

The Revolution began with a spark of plasma, as the first blood was spilled in Adrealis, this revolution would claim the lives of many, but only be a dent in the Empires army. The more lives lost to the Government, made the Revolutionary fighters become more and more fierce. Soon even parts of the military joined in on the fight, This caused a disrupt in the balance, leading to more crime and a tip in the governmental structure. The revolutions in the end were a bust for both sides, A large group of Agatrops and military person, left in a colonization vessel, and were sent off and away from Selten as banishment. The Government fell into a bit of a depression causing trade to go to a halt. This revolution sent a big hit to the war efforts in Adrealis and the empire. This also marked the end of the Adresaas Republic's Golden age of Economics with trade.

The Crumble
The Crumble is a large Scale war that was fought on the front lines of The Republic, with many strong men being lost at incredible rates, one of the strongest generals to lead the wars many battles, was General Adrievus

New Legislation
After the crumble came new acts to rebuild the empire back to its former glory, but of course to no such luck. With these acts also came someone new who shall rise to power. His name is Ardius Thalganna The II. He would be the one to go on and be the one to militarize the future republic. Along with him uniting the people once more under a false sense of security, he also made it his job to advance their technology more in military and expansion. Soon he had a good following, and also helped uproot some companies to help further the reconstruction of The Adresaas Empire. This reconstruction had some disadvantages though, such as them expanding into charted territory of the Murkains and Ava'nix Nations.

This tension would only increase as these nations closely inspected the Adresaas, seeing the horrible atrocities that goes on behind closed doors. They began threatening to attack and assassinate Ardius Thalganna II, in hopes of bringing true Democracy to the people they oppress. The leaders of the Murkain Empire and Ava'nix Empire were taken aback as the leader Ardius would go on to just mock them stating that he cannot be slain by such filth. The amount of Expansion was causing the severity of the tension to build, it would only be a few years after that the tension spills over and causes yet another conflict, but this one will change the face of the Once known Adresaas Empire. Thalganna II would go on to have the leader of the Ava'nix assassinated and the new one who stepped on to the platform had declared war, following soon after the Murkain would join in.

Collapse and Faux Reform
During the highlight of the war between the 3 empires, a collapse would happen causing them all out of desperation to merge into one entity, which brought about the beginning of the Adresaas Republic, the leader of this new nation was Ardius Thalganna I The father of the current dictator in control, Ardius Thalganna II. This new leader brought about reforms that at first glance seem helpful, but this was all a ruse, as they became even more dark, snuffing out anyone who tried to speak out against what was actually going on. They flooded their citizens with mind changing propaganda, slowly building them a false sense of security, which the leader took advantage of.

During these reforms, the leader at his oldest, before he had a heir was around 250, old for an Agatrops, but nevertheless he managed to procreate, and soon enough the old monarch was bringing about a new royal family behind closed doors. This growing family had reached a new high in the society of the Republic, praised for their changes and reforms. The leader Ardius Thalganna I was a militant leader, and began to make other jobs a lot less paying, so they would all have to flock towards the army. Along with this he also began the scientific manipulation doctrine, allowing the scientists in secret facilities full observation rights and kidnapping rights of individuals they saw fit to exploit, having certain traits that made them stronger, and more submissive to rule. This of course began the creation of new species, that they kept contained for war. They had entered a new era with the families growth in fame, also leading to a new government, where the royal family controlled from the shadows.

Species
Although the Republic has countless subject races that have been conquered, uplifted or even altered and created, very few of them are considered fully sentient beings or worthy of the same rights as the Adressas. As such, for all of their members and various viewpoints and cultures, the Adresaas do not care whatsoever for the differing ideals of others, and view only their culture and their way of life as the greatest.

Government
The governmental body of the Adresaas Republic is hard to pinpoint, as they remain as a shadow council and discreet from skeptical eyes that keep their sights on the republics movements. They do like to go under the illusion of a free republic, with many species being able to elect their leaders of a council and president, but most cases than not the president is controlled by the dictator of the government, currently being Ardius Thalganna II. He controls all affairs that go on in the borders of the republic, taking on the role of the filtration system of political discussions and citizens right of religious freedoms and right to speak out against or for the government. Much like a authoritarian government they only allow certain companies to thrive under their ever watching eyes, such as the Talcor company that brought forceful submission to their nation. And many other military and technological companies.

Although the government can hold its own against most public viewing of them, they had begun Installing small factions that are under their full time observation and control, these factions are called Puppet Nations choosing to make meat shields out of the slave races that they have come to claim, they make these small nations commit acts of hostility towards the republics enemies, as to divert attention from them so they may continue the disgusting atrocities that go on behind closed doors. These puppet nations go into small conflicts for the republic, and reconnaissance for future conflicts in the making. Also these small nations whenever they trade with other empires, the profit goes back to the republic.

Society
To live in the Republic is to live in one of the most cruel and oppressive regimes in Selten, and indeed, to live in one of the most oppressive governments in the First Gigaquadrant. A constant struggle to survive, the richest live in large palaces and grand buildings, while the poorer struggle to survive. Constant propaganda is forced upon the people in everything they enjoy, including even music and simple games, and what the more common Adresaas deal with is nothing compared to what aliens who are cursed to live in their borders suffer with.

The oppressive measures of the Republic are meant to give the illusion of freedom to it's inhabitants. Voting may be allowed, but it is only for candidates who meet the Dictator Ardius' standards. As such, the choice is an illusion. In fact, at times, the winner is already chosen, and the voting doesn't even count.

Heroics and daring action for the Republic is treasured above all. Individuals from planets who perform well are given the role of mouthpiece of the Republic to inspire their brethren from their homeworld. Often, individuals are cloned and essentially made up to fit this role, with records being altered, and heavy, intense forms of "Gaslighting" employed to make people remember a figure who has no real history with them.

Aliens are not even treated as fully equal, and there are some that are so ingrained with propaganda, they cannot, in any sensible way regard aliens as anything but animals, or even less then that. Many are kept in horrific ghettos and slave conditions, used for manual labor or battle fodder.

Technology
Most Technology inside of the Republic, revolves around gene mutation and DNA Splicing, choosing to create warriors instead of hiring and training them. This form of gene mutation is seen as an atrocity to many nations inside Selten and out, as they resort to kidnapping people from their families to figure out their genetic makeup, and do horrible experiments on them, though to the republic this is most effective. They also dabble in vehicle creation and weaponry, as most of their space vessels are made from very advanced alloys and are very intricately built for maximum crew capacity. For weaponry their guns are made from an energy they have begun to obtain from a strange nova inside the Sparcity. They usually make swords and guns with it, condensed energy beams from the guns, although they have made coil guns, a very strong and effective gun, they usually mount these on their tanks, as they deliver massive blows to enemy vessels.

Military
The military might inside the republic is the most powerful inside of the Selten Galaxy with a large naval capacity and many advanced weapons, their army is strong in size, as that was one of the few good paying jobs you could own inside of the Adresaas Republic. The military also takes a large amount of harsh training, with gene manipulation for soldiers so they are more well suited for different environments, this gene manipulation does not directly effect the look of the individual, but it has some side effects such as increased aggression and even signs of a more primitive and violent mindset. The Republic uses this side effect to their advantage, instead of sending the ones with side effects to a psych ward, they release the rage filled Agatrops into the battle field, since their heightened senses and rage blocks most feeling, they can take out a good few groups of soldiers in hand to hand combat.
