Terran Federation

The Terran Federation or simply just the Federation is one of the two major powers in the current Galaxy with the New Republic or Third Republic to the Federation.

A late comer to the galactic stage the Federation first made contact with the old republic under Chancellor Palpatine in 27 BBY when the Republic in a Effort to map the Unknown Regions encountered a Federation expeditionary fleet near Bakura, when the Clone wars broke out in 22 BBY the Federation declared its neutrality along with the Council of Neutral systems on the pretence that it was a Republic matter and should not involve Federal lives if they can avoid it. However that would change during the Unity incident in the later days of 22 BBY which saw the Cargo vessel of the same name destroyed by the Malevolence, this combined with evidence of the CIS committing war-crimes pushed the Federation population towards war with the CIS.

By 19 BBY and the Declaration of a new order by Emperor Palpatine the Federation maintained its defensive pact with the new order although despite this the Empire didn’t make any moves to solidify this agreement, focusing instead on its internal affairs and disregarding the Federation as a weakened force that can be dealt with in the future.

Instead by 4 ABY the Galactic Empire began its fragmentation in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and would be completely defeated in 5 ABY with the signing of the Galactic Concordance by both the New Republic, the Federation and the Galactic Empire ending the galactic civil war.

Yet sadly this new peace would be shattered in the year 30 ABY, after much tension was building up with the New republic and the Terran Federation over territories, resources and even cultures, war has been declared between the two sides setting a chain of events that will change the galaxy forever.

Government
The Federation at its core is no different from the Galactic Republics of old though instead of a Chancellor it is a president who is elected every five years.

The president acts as the head of state and government as well commander in chief of the military during war-time, the president also has the final say in matters that have reached an impasse.

The Federal Parliament
The Federal Parliament is both the executive and legislative branches of the government, responsible for running the day to day tasks of running a nation from economics to law enforcement with its members either elected or handpicked by the president.

Culture
The culture of the Terran Federation is quite the mixture of various species from humans to Twi’leeks and other races in the galaxy. All of these races have the same rights as well as paid education by the government, because of its diversity of races many traditions, customs and ideas to other races can be found in the Terran Federation.

Not only are there the usual races living in the Federation but also clones as well who after the empire started shutting down the cloning facilities on Kamino were given shelter in their space.

Military
Compared to the New Republic or the Old galactic empire the military forces of the Terran Federation which are known as the Federal armed services are some of the most professional fighting men, women and clones in the galaxy.

Ministry of war
A branch of the federal Parliament the Ministry of war which is headed by the minister of Warfare is the organisation responsible for the training, equipping and organising the Federal Armed services and ensuring that they perform their duties to their upmost. When it comes to matters of law usually the ministry would military tribunals with help from the ministry of justice.

Federal High command
The Federal high command is the highest command group in the military responsible for the developing and conducting strategic operations in war time. It is usually where the highest officers of the military reside during a conflict.

Doctrine
Although the Federal armed services have their own way of fighting a war the overarching doctrine of the military is joint warfare which focuses on close cooperation with the various branches of the military and on using superior technology to make up for low numbers.
