"That who doesn't kill us makes us stronger'. This ancient saying, born in the distant past of Terra, was amongst humans a request to never give up, no matter how difficult or painful the hardships an individual or group had to face.
This ancient proverb proves itself true today.
Now, after 400 years, Humanity stands over the very homeworld of the species that, in an unprovoked manner, tried, and failed, to destroy us.
We, the children of Terra, stand in judgement of an entire species, that research proved to be so hostile, so vile, so beyond any means of comprehension, that only one verdict is acceptable.
By the power conferred to me by the Great Terran Union, the will of its citizens and the dictate of Fate itself, We, Humanity, declare the Tyrum guilty.
No appeal will be accepted, nor any claim of leniency. The blood of billions stains their hands, and only this action can serve as appropriate punishment. Less than that would be to diminish not only the loss of lives, but the insurmountable sacrifices our kind had to make to overcome and recover from such terrible atrocity.
The only verdict for such crime is death. Ten thousand Tyrum for one drop of our blood. This is the only acceptable price.
And, by this action, vengeance is achieved, and we can finally allow the rest of the souls of billions that, to this very day, impelled us towards this moment.
Our time of vengeance is upon us, and the sword shall be our instrument! We will have vengeance to our Fallen, Terra shall never be harmed again!
Glory to the Great Terran Union!
Glory to Humanity!
Terra Victor! "
-High Admiral of The Sword of Terra, Almirant Ivanova
Previously the home-
system of the Tyrum, it was destroyed by the GTU Colossus "The Sword of Terra" on September 16, 2448. A single station was built in orbit over the shattered planet, housing the largest memorial archives in all of GTU space. Each year GTU citizens visit this location as a pilgrimage site. It is currently under Core Sector administration despite the system being located in the galactic south, far from GTU friendly space, and it is currently occupied by the Stellar Axis.
