The République Stellarienne
Classification :: Faction
Headquarters :: Le Citoyen Bellegarrigue, Capital Ship
Reach :: Surface // Global / Interstellar
The République Stellarienne is the dominant political and military superstate rising from the ashes of the Old Terran Orders. Born in revolution and tempered by centuries of insurrection, it has forged itself into a transstellar power defined by militant egalitarianism, radical technocracy, and a ceaseless drive toward expansion. It governs through a triumvirate of People's Assemblies, Revolutionary Tribunals, and Commissariats of the Will—each ensuring that no citizen forgets the cost of liberty or the price of complacency.
The Grand Armada :: The arm of the République stretched across the stars, the Grand Armada is a vast, ever-mobile fleet of capital ships, dreadnoughts, orbital forges, and carrier-brigades. Each vessel bears the names of martyred revolutionaries and inscribed oaths of liberty across their hulls. It serves not only as a military force but as a moving nation—transporting colonists, scientists, engineers, and agitators alike. The Armada is supported by autonomous supply chains, espoir symbio-ateliers and entire war-factories built within geodesic spheres.
Mission :: Formally known as the Quatrième Siècle de Feu (Fourth Century of Fire), the Revolutionary Expansion Initiative is the guiding policy and war doctrine behind the République’s relentless outward march. Framed as both a moral imperative and existential necessity, the initiative is built on three ideological pillars:
Dismantle Tyranny – Any world ruled by autocrats, warlords, or corporate despots is considered a target for liberation and reformation.
Unify the Proletariat – Native populations are integrated into the République through education, technology transfer, and revolutionary indoctrination.
Secure the Future – Key resource worlds, arcane anomalies, and relic megastructures are aggressively claimed to ensure survival and dominance against imperial remnants and alien threats.
The initiative is enforced by specialized armatures like the Légions de la Cendre's AMU-series mechs, the Compagnies Égalitaires infantry, divisions of the Confrérie des Phalènes Célestes, and the humble builders of the Division de l’Exode Constructif, each acting autonomously or as a whole to further the République's goal of interstellar revolution.
Across the black sea of stars, the chant rings out:
“Not one more world under the yoke!”
Culture :: The République Stellarienne is a civilization built upon the ashes of pre-collapse empires ignited by revolutionary fervor. Its citizens adhere to a philosophy of cosmic egalitarianism: the belief that all sentient beings, regardless of origin or biology, deserve liberty, dignity, and purpose. Revolutionary doctrine permeates every aspect of life—from public education to military service—with great emphasis placed on duty, sacrifice, and communal progress. Art and culture are vibrant and eclectic, drawing upon the shared traditions of countless worlds. Dadaist street operas coexist with holographic poetry slams, while martial parades march beside experimental psionic psimphonies.
Technology :: The République operates at a high technological tier, blending conventional innovation with psionically-integrated systems. Neuro-harmonic architecture, built to resonate with emotional and cognitive states. Civilian-grade replicators allow localized printing of tools, clothing, and sustenance. Advanced FTL communications through anchored points across the galactic rift, maintained by the Télégraphistes de l’Infini. The most recognized technological marvel of the République's are the Automate Militaire Unifié or AMUs, cutting-edge mobile suits at the forefront of the Revolutionary Expansion Initiative.
Magic :: Though the République prefers the term Liberated Cognition, what outsiders might call “magic” is fundamentally psionic. Gifted individuals, known as Les Deuxièmes Voix, channel cosmic phenomena into tangible results—controlling heat, shaping probability, or distorting space-time. Institutions like the École Harmonière train and license such individuals, often integrating them into the military, medical, or exploratory branches.
Religion :: The République does not outlaw religion, but it reframes belief as a function of revolutionary narrative. Many traditional faiths have either evolved or hybridized into The Path of Intergalactic Solidarity, a metaphilosophy whose adherents see the cosmos as a fragmented whole struggling toward a harmonious reunion. According to this belief, sentience itself–the capacity for thought, empathy, self-awareness and aspiration–is the mechanism for unification. As such, every thinking being, regardless of biological origin, construction, or evolution, is a spark of a greater, emerging cosmic consciousness.
