Second Republic

The second Republic is the largest territory of human occupied space within the galaxy and is in direct conflict with the Galactic Union.

General
Desspite its name the second Republic is not an attempt of reforming the Republic of Humanity, just using the name to represent the traditionalist views, that are contrary to the principals of the Galactic Union.

The second Republik formed not too long after the Barzak War, but the exact date of its founding is unknown and varies between sources, but most of the evidence suggests, that there were already plans to found the second republic during the war, which would have created a third faction in the civil war, as the republic is (and most likely would have been) made up of the more extremely conservative elements of the original republic, which opposed the growing influx of alien races into society.

Among these elements of the republic were some of the biggest corporations and maufacturers, which exclusively work for the second republic even now. This gives the second Republic a great advantage in the constant armsrace against the Union and makes them one of the most powerful human military organizations in the galaxy.

They are not only the greatest advesary of the Union, but also one of the strongest factors in stopping the advance of the swarm. However this constant conflict with the swarm prevents them from launching an allout invasion of the Union's territory, putting the Republic in a constant deadlock on two fronts.

This deadlock has forced the republic to become self sufficient and rely less and less on imports, but almost completely eliminating any income from exports aswell.

Military
The Republic organizes its military in several seperate armies, the republican army No. 1 - 10.

Each army consists of several hundred regiments, which are chronologically numbered, thus the number of the regiment is not revealing how many regiments the army approximately has and regiments are frequently restationed between armies, depending on the troops requied by the different armies.

Each amry is deployed in different areas and uses different kinds of troops, that perfectly fit their task.
 * Republican Army No.1: Stationed in the center of republican space, with single regiments constantly patrolling the ng the different sectors of the republican territory. They are the republic's final resort, the absolute elite, who are supposed to destroy as much of an invading force as possible, to guard the retreat of the civillians.
 * Republican Army No.2: Stationed at the boarder towards the union territory, they specialize in unconventional and guerilla warfare. The army is somewhat smaller than the other republican armies, but is therefor stocked with more specialized and experienced troops.
 * Republican Army No.3: Stationed at the boarder towards the swarmfront, they are one of the heaviest armies of the republic, supposed to wipe out the constant surge of swarmcreatures with artillery barrages, with their minimalistic infantry forces tasked to guard the artillery positions or advance together with the armoured forces, as motorized infantry.
