Fiction:Unified Realms of Heitec

"Democracy is just wasteful moral in a system, Bolshevism is just fascism that forces all to join the poor, monarchism is just petty patriotism without order, liberty is the cause of extinction. The people lack knowledge, only pure information, only S.A.R.D, can guide those willing to live a prosperous future."

- S.A.R.D

The Unified Realms of Heitec is one of Selten's first ever Cyberocracies, coming into unity approximately 75,000 years ago. around 500,000 years ago, when they were not unified, they had colonized their first planet, Volus. Shorty afterwards, the first Sard-manned craft had left the solar-system. 490,000 years ago, they had already colonized their first solar-system besides their own and had made Volus habitable, all of this due to concentrated and dictated knowledge and lack of moral from their leader, the Systematically Advance Resolution Drive.

The Crumble begun around 450,000 years ago, and the Mekkani had commenced the invasion of Heitec. This had awoken the Sard's realization that they were not the only sapient species in the universe. The war was fought ferociously, with many Sards perishing. Although the Sards were nothing compared to the Mekkani, they have the best tacticians in Selten which led them to fighting a Fabian-War against the Mekkani menace, defending as many territories as they could, especially their capital city, Sutioa, on Heitec, with their missile silos and armoured vehicles until the woken Mekkani were finished-off. Using what remained of the Mekkani invaders technology, the Sards advanced by several centuries. By the end of the war, the Sards united their species under one flag.

The colonization of their first system marked the beginning of the Realms significance in Selten. As the URH expanded, so did the S.A.R.D's goals and campaigns for expanding the Sard race. Originally, the URH was built on isolationism, and although they had not discovered any sentient or sapient life in the galaxy, they planned to only colonize planets not touched by sapient beings (enforced by the Xenarc Act). This all changed around the beginning of the 22nd century, when Sard satellites picked up an odd radio signal in the Yang Region of Selten. The transmission lasted less than a minute and consisted of odd noises only identifiable as "music", constructed by a sapient-species. They tracked the signal to its location on a planet which was assumed to be in the habitable-zone. By 2170 they had arrived at the planet, this planet was the home of the People's Olatant Republic. At first the Sards and Olatants lived in peace, especially since they somehow shared a similar genetic-code to one another, but tensions were constantly building as the Olatants were National Bolsheviks while the Sards were a Cyberocracy. Eventually, the URH and POR cut of relations with each other a decade after they first met (around 2180). This cut-off relationship, and advancement of technology, marked the beginning of continued rising tensions between the two species which eventually led to both participating in the Grand Seltian War.

By 2450, they had discovered the Croants, a species of crustacean which was enslaved by both the Realms and the People's Republic. The Croants were just entering the Information-Age when they were invaded. Their planet was taken withing a week and the survivors of this invasions were used as a slave-force and many of their exoskeletons were harvested for use in police-forces on planets (due to the Croant's exoskeletons being quite strong). Eventually, the Croants were taken off-world and placed on many other planets for a strong labour-force (though very few are on Heitec). There is a continued argument between the four Overseers of Heitec for what to do with the Croants at this point in time. Overseer Salmond recommends that they be given independence from the Realms, Overseer Quarnt states that they are an excellent labour-force and perfect for harvesting and wants Croant-loyalists to eventually be used in the armed-forced of the Realms, Overseer Trient believes that they are an excellent source of workers that can be used in dangerous operations, though he'd like to see a decrease of their use on work that is not harmful as it's taking jobs from the Sard working-class, Xenarc believes that they should all be placed on their own worlds and made into a satellite-state as he believes that the Realms is for Sards and Sards only.

Campaign of Unification
The Crumble had begun and the Mekkani had commenced the invasion of the URH. This had awoken the Sard's realization that they were not the only sapient species in the universe. The war was fought ferociously, with many Sards perishing. Although the URH were nothing compared to the Mekkani, they do have one of the best tacticians in Selten which led them to fighting a Fabian-War against the Mekkani menace, defending as many territories as they could, especially their capital, Sutioa, with their missile silos and armoured vehicles until the woken Mekkani were finished-off. Using what remained of the Mekkani invaders technology, the URH advanced by several centuries.

Back when the modern URH wasn't formed, and Heitec was split, there were four main nations: the United Realm of Terona (a nation that was ruled by S.A.R.D, under Cyberocracy, located in the continent of North-Terona), the Confederacy of the South (a puppet-state of the old United Realm located in the continent of South-Terona), Eoria's Working Nation (a Bolshevik nation located in the continent of Aeora) and the Democratic Union of Firona. (a Democratic nation located in the continent of Firona). The URT was formed from a fascist-regime which sought the best system to advance the Sards, the Confederacy of the South was formed after the URT invaded their neighbour in hopes of attaining a new ally to unite Heitec (originally, they were democratic), Eoria's Working Nation was formed after a coup took was held against their democratic government once owned by the Democratic Union. Since then tensions increased between the four nations.

While the URT was already advancing the other three nations began to collapse. The URT had advanced significantly ahead of all the other nations, leaving the rest behind technologically wise. Mass technological expansion was occurring by the early 21st Century, that's when the Mekkani struck Heitec. The Mekkani invasions led to the United Realm requesting the Confederacy to become a full part of the nation. The Confederacy agreed to this. Eoria began an invasion of Firona which was a foolish move seen by the majority of Sards across the world, including their own. Although much of Firona was captured by the invading Eoria forces, the Mekkani had destroyed much of their capital and territory in the north. The URT had already begun a slow invasion of Firona in an attempt to halt Eoria's advance and make sure that it doesn't capture the strongest economic cities. By the time the URT captured the capital, Firona had surrendered its remaining territory to the Realms. By the end of it all, the Eoria had capitulated due to inflation which led to the government collapsing. All the URT had to do now was simply stroll into their capital and make claim to the lands, finishing off the remaining Mekkani forces in the process. This was the birth of the Unified Realms of Heitec, around the year 2020.

The First Campaign of Expansionism
The First Campaign of Expansionism begun in the year 2100, after URH satellites picked up "music", originating from somewhere deep in the Yang-Sector of Selten's arms. This message was taken with caution, as the URH had no clue whether its intentions were peaceful or otherwise. Within seven-decades, a Sard expedition crew arrived at the source of this signal. Nioant. For several weeks the ship stayed in orbit, with the Olatants and Sards transmitting information to one-another, confirming their intentions and establishing communication. Approximately a month after arriving, the space-craft landed on Olatant-soil to greet this new species. At first, the People's Olatant Republic and the Unified Realms of Heitec co-operated with intentions of peace, but as time went on, their differences pulled them apart. The POR sought National Bolshevism, a system of nationalist Communism, in which the Olatants considered themselves the master-race while under the economic influence of state-owned property. The URH worked in a patriotic Cyberocracy, in which all decisions were based on logic while quite a large amount of the population was loyal and adored their civilization and its achievements. By the beginning opening of 2200, the POR and URH had cut-off relations and entered a state of increased tensions. Both civilizations attempted to expand faster than the other. The URH colonized an additional forty solar-systems within fifty years, each one eventually becoming habitable and armed with weapons. These planets were mainly to the north of Selten, towards the Yang-Sector. This marked an age of economic growth between the two rivals. The First Campaign of Expansionism came to an official end in 2262, when the URH and POR had ceases expansion and begun to work on their infrastructures. The S.A.R.D had much work to do with preparing these newly colonized planets for economic growth, creating new jobs by suiting each planet to what they were best at. Planets rich in metals were built upon and made into economic hubs with few residential areas. Planets with excellent positioning and the capability to host life were terraformed and usually used for habitation and defended greatly. Jobs here usually consisted of community and similar occupations.
