Fiction Disclaimer
Mandatory Preamble
This site, and the Terran Republic it represents, is a work of fiction, produced for a roleplaying gaming organisation operating inside a shared narrative universe of grimdark military science fiction.
All enemies named (alien species categories: predator civilisations, patient civilisations, trader civilisations, the unknowns), all acts described (including but not limited to extermination, purge, cleanse, neutralisation, in-flagrante execution), and all ideological positions asserted are directed at fictional non-human species and fictional in-universe heresies within a fictional setting.
They do not advocate, endorse, justify, or mirror any real-world political position, ethnic hostility, religious hostility, or violence against any real-world person or group.
The Terran Republic is a voluntary, bilingual (English / European Portuguese) gaming community whose activity is conducted entirely within the community standards of the platforms on which it operates. Members are human beings of every background, nationality, belief, orientation, and identity — united only by participation in a shared fiction.
The harshness of the in-universe doctrine is a deliberate aesthetic choice of the fiction. It does not authorise, and the Republic does not extend it to, any conduct outside the fiction.
If the reader is not comfortable with grimdark military fiction, the recommended action is to stop reading here. This site exists for those who are.
On Roleplay and Real-World Separation
The Republic’s doctrine — the Three Pillars of Vigilance, the Oath of Vigil, the Holy Office, the Ius Gladii Doctrinae — operates exclusively within the fiction.
- The Oath of Vigil binds the Citizen’s character within the shared fiction; it does not bind the player outside the game.
- In-flagrante execution under the Ius Gladii Doctrinae is roleplay performed in narrative scenes, in-game combat, or administrative removal from the organisation’s roster — all within platform community standards.
- The Purge is administrative — expulsion from rank, revocation of access, posting in the internal bulletin. It is community moderation, executed within platform rules.
- No member of the Republic is asked, encouraged, or expected to extend the fiction’s harshness to any conduct outside the fiction.
Any member who confuses the fiction with the real world will be removed from the Republic.
On Inspirations
The aesthetic of the Terran Republic is a synthesis of archetypes drawn from multiple traditions of human-supremacist militarised faction science fiction. It is grimdark by vocation. The doctrine is inflexible by aesthetic and narrative choice. Those seeking lighter fiction will find it elsewhere.

Pro Humanitate. Semper Vigilo. So speaks the Vigil.
