"It's not the amount of years that's important, it's what you've done with them."

- President Apollo, responding to criticism of his youth in the early years of his presidency.

When Apollo became the youngest President in Republic history, at the age of twenty four, his opponents began to question his experience, but generally his election was well received. Despite promising to lead the Republic to prosperity, he didn't foresee the coming of the Cognatus and the beginning of the. Despite the impossible odds, Apollo surprised the galaxy with his remarkable leadership unusual in one so young. Eventually the war ended, and Apollo brought the Republic to the Gigaquadrantic stage, forming the and many other intergovernmental organisations as well as inaugurating several new alliances with states from across the universe. Hailed by most in the Gigaquadrant as one of the universe's pre-eminent leaders, he would still be powerless to prevent the -orchestrated and its dark aftermath.

Affairs with Rambo Nation
Several months after becoming President of the Republic, Apollo travelled to and met Empress Ramashe, leader of the nation for the first time.

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.

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 Capricus. 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 Libertopolos, 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.

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,.

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.

 * 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.

Rise of the Empire
"I am troubled. These are the last few days of my term of President and I should be relieved, but I fear something is on the horizon."

- Apollo, confiding in Ramashe as the war draws to a close.

In the aftermath of the breaking of the blockade, Apollo began having premonitions that something troublesome was about to happen. Sending a transmission to Ramashe, he confided in her that he felt a deep sense of forbodence as the last battles of the war were drawn up. Informing her about the discovery of the Conexivus Route which led to both Republic and Confederate homeworlds, Apollo later authorised the admiralty to retrieve the information essential to using the route by travelling to the Mid Rim world of Taracondor, where the battle to control the Conexivus Route was already being waged.
