History

The year 2940 in Sol years

Sector: Sirius

Two years ago, the 301st TCEagles Commander, crashbx, formed a temporary alliance with another Squadron, the 317th Scythers, to fight pirates and common enemies in the Sirius sector. After destroying one of the organized criminal networks in the Omicron Gamma system, the two squadrons decided to re-unite the old Western Alliance. The WA fought the Coalition in the solar war long ago, but once the fighting stopped the WA disbanded, with most members relocating to Sirius to preserve their way of life. Now reunited and stronger than before, the Western Alliance was reorganized and renamed as the Terran Colonial Forces, due to the fact that its membership and influence encompassed an equal number of Terran and Colonial worlds. Not long after the reorganization, 2 more squadrons were added to TCForces; these are known as the 313th DragonClaw and 45th Werebears.

Recently, they intercepted a distress signal from their distant home in the Solar system; the home they thought destroyed. The decision was made to launch their jump capable carriers and return to the Sol system. Their mission: to investigate the source and reason for this distress signal. What they will find nobody knows, but the distorted distress signal mentioned the unification of humanity under the UEE banner and an alien threat…the Vanduul.

Estimated time of travel to the Sol system is from 1 – 2 years, even with the improved jump-drive capabilities. In the meantime Terran Colonial forces will gather their ranks and prepare for the upcoming threat.

Manifesto

We don’t know each other
We have different nationalities, birthplaces, ideas or religions
But just for this moment
We are bound together as one by our love for Terra
And we are free of all the troubles in space
At times, my friends, we all come to wish some things had not happened
But as a wise man once said, that is not for us to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us…
And all I can do is give you the courage to do so
Join TCForces today and earn the victory you deserve!

Known In the early days as the Western Alliance, its membership and influence encompassed enough Terran and Colonial worlds that the organization was renamed as the Terran Colonial Forces [TCForces]

Official Wings and Squadrons of Terran Colonial Forces & Reserve Squadrons

45th Werebears – Main Branch: Support Disbanded

One of the newest squadrons, the 45th Werebears will always help those in need; if someone needs a piggy-ride back home, they will be there. In charge of supplies and trades for the TCF, they make sure the other squadrons will not have to search for ammunition, fuel or anything else they might need. Not strictly bound to logistics, the 45th also scout out ahead and map as much as possible for the TCF as well for other Citizens.

Language: English ( International )

301st TCEagles – Main Branch: Tactical Operations

They are one of the oldest squadron that formed during the Sol war and managed to survive since. They’ve always fought against pirates and any other type of criminals; all enemies in the eyes of the TCF. 301st TCEagles are a pure hunter squadron and they are sworn to protect and defend innocent civilians, but they can get trigger happy if you show signs of threat. 301st Squadron are also known for their “suicidal” rescue missions when other squadrons get in deep **** behind enemy lines. It’s in those situations that the 301st’s tactics and bravery truly shine.

Language: Slovenian, Serbian, English ( International )

313th DragonClaw – Main Branch: Tactical Operations

They originated from Chogoku Kusari space in Sirius sector. After the old Western Alliance did their job in omicron gamma, they left the system with no controlling government. The 313th decided to patrol that part of the universe, to prevent pirates from ever regaining the strength they had before the PURGE. Recently, when TCF pilots arrived looking for new recruits for the trip to the Sol system and to check up on the current situation of the universe, they found a few old members from the 301st TCEagles were in charge of this group. This was great news and talks about them joining TCF quickly turned into reality. Now the 313th DragonClaw are proud members of TCF and already preparing their forces to jump with the carrier. Members of 313rd are mostly German speaking, but they understand and speak English very well.

Language: German, English

317th Scythers – Main Branch: Reconnaissance

A mercenary squadron which has supported the Western Alliance in every conflict of the Sirius sector and eventually joined it as a squadron. Currently they are part of the Terran Colonial Forces (TCF), and are mostly manned with Polish speaking players.

TCForces members are free to join any subsidiary organization that they desire — so long as

the organization falls within at least one of the following criteria:

Regardless of the above, all subsidiary organizations must follow all of the following

rules:

The subsidiary organization must comply with all TCForces constitutional rules concerning illegal activities (aka — not allowed).

The subsidiary organization must NOT fulfill the role of a traditional guild in any sense, in such that it may not be “another TCForces”.

** If you want to just offer support as Affiliate to TCForces and be put into reserve list please contact High Command:(read more below)

**Officially named ambassadors/reserves to ACES may join and have TCForces listed as a subsidiary organization, being the only exception to the rule.

TCForces will continually police members organization memberships. If an objectionable organization is found, the High Command will determine if TCForces members are allowed to take part in said organization what-so-ever; all members will be bound to respect this decision without issue.
