The United Republic of Tarsus is a small, sturdy nation settled in one of the corners of the Onyx galaxy. It is a society characterized by steadfast dedication to preservation; it's people are rough, and its landscapes even more so. Threatened by the harsh climates of its habitats, as well as the creatures these places inhabit, the United Republic are daily tested in their mettle, and only the strongest may pass.
Leading the government of the Republic is
President Salvatore Valentine. He is a dedicated man who takes his position as commander-in-chief very seriously. Salvatore is a straight-forward man, and isn't one to make excuses and his quick to take responsibility for any shortcomings. Overall, he is the leader the Republic needs in order to maintain its strength and faith in their ability to thrive.
Valiantly defending the Republic's homeworlds is the
Colonial Defense Force, which serves as the Republic's army as well as its homeland security. They are tasked with staving off threats to Republic planets and colonies, be they terrorists, invaders, or the monsters that roam outside the borders of civilization just waiting for a moment to strike. Their brutal training has made them tireless defenders of the Republic's worlds, and they gladly sacrifice their lives to ensure the Republic and her people live on.
Patrolling the endless bounds of space is the Republic's
Navy, who work to safeguard their sectors from full-scale invasions, as well as maintain the tide of battle during military campaigns, ready to deploy for battle at a moment's notice. The Republic Navy employs some of the brightest men and women its nation has to offer, and is outfitted with advanced technology and various ships, most of which are heavily armed and ready to fend off would-be invaders.
For securing the Republic's foreign interests, the Republic calls on the combined strength of the
Marine Corps,
Rangers, and Air Force. The Marines are the driving power of the Republic's military; its so-called phalanx, tasked with charging into the enemy and killing everything that stands in their way. The Corps is numbered with elite warriors trained to lay waste to any and all opposition, and do so with extreme efficiency. The Rangers are the special forces of the military, specializing in in-orbit drops from Naval ships into heated combat zones. Rangers are hardened combat experts, capable of turning the tide in even the most desperate situations. Finally, the Air Force boasts superiority from the air, capable of laying down oppressive fire from the skies. Armed with advanced technology, the entirety of the Republic's military might is a force to be reckoned with.
All in all, the people of the Republic are resilient and self-sufficient, and have been chided as being cold, stand-offish prudes who care little for nothing but themselves. They are a relatively small nation, preferring to stay within their own borders for sustainability than to look outside. However, certain rising complications are forcing the government's hand, making them reach out to the various other inhabitants of the universe for aid and, possibly, alliances.
