Lost Worlds
Terran Colonial Power
Overview
The Lost Worlds, officially known as the Republic of Lost Worlds Constellations, was a stellar empire situated in the Terran Southern Arm of Orion. This region included the Lost Light Nebulas, the main Lost Worlds constellations, and numerous smaller constellations, with Gariue as its capital system. With over 11 quadrillion inhabitants, it was one of the most populous regions, characterized by its multiethnic and multicultural population. Initially colonized by the Terran Empire, it gained independence after the First Consular War but remained politically fragile. This instability eventually gave rise to autocratic regimes and separatist movements, which defined much of its history.
Civil Structure
Lost Worlds transitioned through various forms of governance, beginning as a Terran colony before evolving into a republic following the First Consular War. However, democracy was marred by social unrest and political strife. The rule of the Farmers and Workers movement, and later the Separatist Party, further entrenched the empire's fractured identity. These internal struggles often coincided with external pressures, especially from neighboring empires. Notable hubs like the Elel Orbital Trade Hub served as economic linchpins, sustaining trade across three major routes. Despite periods of autocratic governance, the society retained agrarian roots that shifted toward urbanization and industrialization during its peak.
Military
The Lost Worlds developed robust defensive strategies to counter threats from Terran, Reittian, and other external forces. It maintained substantial planetary defense systems, bolstered by orbital facilities like Elel, which served as a key hub for trade and occasional smuggling. However, its military efforts were primarily reactive, often responding to internal uprisings and external pressures. Rebellions such as Dmitry Borshin's revolt and the Nine Decades' War tested its defenses, with guerrilla tactics proving a hallmark of its independence movements. A pivotal chapter in its history was General Vasilyi Cormanov’s brutal suppression of these uprisings. Under his command, Terran forces herded rural populations into concentration camps, described as "recentralization worlds," and systematically dismantled rebel forces. This campaign devastated civilian populations, with catastrophic losses numbering in the hundreds of billions. Despite these atrocities, the resilience of the Lost Worlds’ people shone through, as they managed to sustain resistance efforts and rebuild amidst the devastation.
Special Technologies
Lost Worlds' technological edge lay in its foldgate systems, enabling rapid travel and clandestine operations. A notable example is the diamond-shaped foldgate "Edaminla," a secret smuggling gateway run by the Ranga gang. Innovations in agriculture and urban planning also highlighted its adaptability, transitioning from a feudal colonial structure to an advanced constellation-spanning network. These advancements were pivotal in sustaining its immense population while navigating interstellar challenges.
