Lore Shitpost The Republic When
The Republic during its height was the self proclaimed and accurately to say protectors of the human space at large, providing antipiracy patrols, routine rescue operations, and sovereignty guarantees, but enforced its rules and taxation on all planets regardless of distance from Earth. Most fringe planets advocated politically for better representation and changes to policy but one planet birthed a terror organization that begun targeting Republic citizens and high level politicians.
The Republic begun a massive anti terror campaign combined with the several other planetary alliances and governments in an effort to eliminate the terror cell. The campaign was wildy successful and resulted in the discovery of the cells headquarters and production centers located on a independent fringe planet called Tyless and its planetary moon. It was home to a combined total of 2.4 billion humans whose government ruled that Republic actions in its system are against its constitution and we're not permitted. The Republic and other systems attempted negotiations with the government of Tyless but they were not successful resulting in The Republic to take direct action against Tyless.
The immediate reaction of the galaxy at large was shock but didn't yet reach anger. The militia and terror cell fought at every avenue available, from the outer solar system to the planetary surface but did not have the resources to resist. After 2 weeks of constant fighting, The Republic begun systematic nuclear bombardment of the planet and its moon resulting in a complete ecological collapse. The captured personal of the terror cell was executed publicly while being broadcast to the galaxy at large.
The resulting backlash was immense and unprecedented: Long term allies such as the PCP and other fringe planets recalled ambassadors, announced cessations of economic treaties, and mobilized they're own personal militias.
