History

Origin

Kilrathi War

In 2629.105, a Terran ship called the Iason encountered a spacecraft of unknown origin. The human vessels commander Jedora Andropolos transmitted a wide-band non-verbal greeting and waited a response. However, the unidentified ship in less than twenty minutes proceeded to open fire with full lasers and destroyed the Iason along with its crew. The Confederation deep space tracking systems later managed to determine that the alien craft planet of origin was Kilrah.

By the next year, the Confederation Assembly made attempts at holding negotiations with the Kilrathi High Command but all such overtures were rejected. Despite this response, Confed formed a non-aggression policy towards the Kilrathi in an attempt to maintain falling relations but promised military action if further raids against their colonies and vessels were not stopped. These warnings were similarly ignored by the Kilrathi who instead began numerous raids against Confederation ships between the years 2629 and 2634. This culminated in 2364 when the Kilrathi attacked and destroyed the civilian transport Anna Magdalena that was carrying orphans to the planet Dieno with all occupants killed in the assault. As a result, the Confederation Assembly officially declared a state of warfare against the Kilrathi Empire on the 5th of July 2634 leading to the official start of the Kilrathi War.

In 2654.080, the CIAI's probes had discovered contact with a new alien race that were known as the Double Helix who were sentient carbon-based arthropods and possessed space travel capabilities.

Overview

Government was held within the Terran Confederation Congress that decided on policy and large scale actions. One agency within the government was Terran Intelligence Agency that was responsible for managing various Covert Ops with Special Operations teams deployed on missions.

Military control over the naval was achieved by the Confederation High Command. The fleet was referred to as the Terran Confederation Navy.

The Confederation Oath of Service was:

  • I am the heart of the Confederation.
  • A servant of peace...
  • A deliverer of freedom...
  • A guardian of worlds...
  • As I pave the road to victory
  • I shall not fear the enemy
  • For he cannot conquer justice.
  • As I light the righteous fire of peace
  • I shall hold life sacred
  • For it is my duty to rise against evil.

Another division that was later established was the Strategic Readiness Agency (SRA) with it being charged with the protection of the frontier.

One body within the Confederation was the Committee for Interaction with Alien Intelligences (CIAI) that sent out probes and sought contact with extraterrestrial species. Another organization within their government was the World Science Federation.

Information was distributed through the Terran News Network that conducted Holo-Vid interviews.

Notes

In other media

Television

  • In Wing Commander: Academy, the Confederation appeared regularly in the animated series. In "The Last One Left", a famous Confederation pilot by the name of Daimon Karnes was noted as a war hero who disappeared during a recon mission to a star system. In reality, he had grown disillusioned with service and gone renegade where over the next twenty years he operated as a pirate where he led numerous outcasts including aliens and Kilrathi that attacked anyone in the system. News of his treason was kept hidden by the Confederation as they wanted to maintain his image as a hero to its citizens.
