Legacy of the Void Fleet-Chapter 177: ch people experience the marvels of virtual technology

The internet, which had already been replaced by SkyNet, was now superseded by even more advanced Tier-1 technology: the multi-dimensional TerraNet.

This new network allowed users to access not just information, but immersive live VR experiences through widely available VR devices.

Remarkably, TerraNet also possessed the capability to extend its reach into outer space.

And most crucially, the fractured national powers were absorbed into a single global government.

Most crucially, the fractured national powers of Earth were absorbed into a single global government. All existing Earth nations were dissolved to form a unified planetary administration known as the [Terra Federation: the United Earth Government].

This unification was carried out under the direction of the Void Fleet, with the agreement and leadership of Earth's major superpowers. Other nations followed suit, signing a global treaty known as the United Earth.

This historic treaty gave rise to the Terra Federation, establishing a planetary-scale central government that replaced all existing governmental and ruling structures.

The primary aim of this unification was to accelerate focused development and prepare humanity for a shared future—centered on prosperity and space exploration.

Through coordinated efforts, the Federation would study the gifted alien technologies and harness star-faring potential for the collective benefit of mankind.

The structure of the Terra Federation was intentionally streamlined. It would be governed by the supreme ruling body—[the Terra Council]—comprising former leaders of major nations and other prominent figures.

The Terra Council served as the central legislative and executive authority of the Federation, responsible for overseeing all planetary affairs.

This included economic governance, planetary defense, scientific advancement, space exploration, and internal social development, ensuring both global unity and progress on all fronts.

The Terra Council was primarily composed of three categories of members. The first and most powerful group was the High Councilors.

These individuals held the supreme authority within the Council and had the power to veto any law, policy, or strategic initiative if deemed detrimental to the collective interests of the Terra Federation.

High Councilors wielded immense influence over the Federation's direction—politically, militarily, and technologically. Many of them headed critical departments, including policy-making divisions and strategic oversight bodies.

They also led key organizations such as the Terra Research Organization, a prestigious institution tasked with pushing the technological frontier of humanity.

This organization brought together many of Earth's top scientists and researchers to collaborate on cutting-edge innovations.

In addition to technology and research, High Councilors were responsible for overseeing planetary security and held direct influence over major industries vital to the Federation's infrastructure and future expansion.

The current High Councilors were the supreme leaders of the five former global superpowers:

-The Emperor of the Indra Empyrean

-The President of the State of Avalon

-The Emperor of the Bear Empire

-The Emperor of the Jiang Dynasty

-The Chancellor of the Eurasian Federation

These five individuals formed the core leadership of the Terra Federation. They held equal power and rights within the council—an arrangement born from the undeniable fact that their respective nations were, before unification, the most powerful, technologically advanced, and experienced states on Earth.

Their combined leadership formed the strategic backbone of the Federation.

Council Structure:

The Terra Council was divided into three primary tiers:

[1. High Councilors]

As the topmost authority, High Councilors had the right to veto any proposal, law, or directive that they deemed harmful to the Terra Federation's collective interests. Each High Councilor was entrusted with immense influence over military doctrine, technological policy, and strategic planning. They also headed key institutions like:

[The Terra Research Organization (TRO)] – tasked with advancing scientific and technological frontiers, staffed by Earth's most brilliant minds.

[Federation Security and Defense divisions]

[Strategic Development and Foreign Policy departments]

[2. Councilors]

Sitting just below the High Councilors were the Councilors—eight in total. While they did not possess veto powers, their role was vital. They served as representatives of their former nation-states or major city-states, now merged into the Federation. Their primary duties included:

Proposing new policies, especially those related to internal development, economy, infrastructure, education, and social welfare.

Leading and managing approved initiatives, acting as department heads or administrative leads.

Voicing regional concerns and ensuring the Federation's unity was not at the cost of localized needs.

In a corporate analogy, they were the mid-level executives, critical in translating the grand vision into actionable development at ground level.

[3. Junior Councilors]

The lowest tier was formed by thirty Junior Councilors, primarily drawn from what were once the poorest and weakest nations on Earth. While they lacked executive or legislative authority, they played an important symbolic and social role. Their responsibilities included:

Representing the voice of the common people and the formerly underrepresented regions.

Raising proposals for new laws or reforms, especially regarding human rights, justice, and regional equity.

Acting as public liaisons, often engaging with citizens and reporting concerns to higher council tiers.

Though limited in power, their presence was a reminder that the Terra Federation sought to represent all of humanity—not just its elite.

Naturally, there was resistance during the signing of the United Earth Accord. Many elites, warlords, and small national governments opposed the formation of a centralized global authority.

They viewed the concept of a united Earth not as progress, but as a direct threat to their sovereignty and power. In truth, it was human greed—an unwillingness to relinquish control—that fueled their defiance, even in the face of inevitable change.

Some of these leaders, fully aware that resistance would likely end badly, still chose to incite chaos within their regions. However, the people were not so easily deceived.

Citizens, especially those from underdeveloped or impoverished nations, recognized the potential benefits of unification—better infrastructure, access to advanced technology, security, and a voice in a much larger system.

Instead of supporting their self-serving rulers, many of these populations rose up against their own elites, refusing to allow them to drag their countries into pointless conflict.

In some cases, these leaders were overthrown from within, and the nations willingly joined the centralized government.

For those who still refused to submit, the Terra Federation responded swiftly and decisively. Some were persuaded through diplomatic pressure and political leverage—others were brought into line by sheer force.

Within just three days, the landscape of Earth had transformed. Resistance crumbled, old power structures fell, and the world had irrevocably changed—for the better. Earth would never be the same again.

Following the brief period of chaos and resistance during unification, efforts were quickly undertaken to restore and stabilize internal order.

The former national police forces, which had been disbanded along with their respective governments, were reorganized under the authority of the Terra Federation.

Interestingly, the personnel remained largely the same—former officers were retrained using advanced virtual reality training pods. While half of the force underwent accelerated re-education, the other half was deployed alongside droid auxiliary units to enforce basic law and order, ensuring no power vacuum could be exploited by criminal or terrorist organizations.

Though the Void Fleet had performed a sweeping initial purge of hostile elements during the transition, certain underground groups still lingered.

However, the Void Fleet, under Kallus's command, considered these remaining threats to be Earth's internal matter and refrained from direct involvement—leaving it to the newly formed planetary authorities to clean up.

Earth's fragmented military forces were similarly restructured. Troops from various former national armies were relocated to new regional Terra Federation headquarters, hastily constructed by industry-dominant megacorporation's.

There, they too underwent retraining in virtual simulation pods in preparation for their future deployment under the unified Federation command structure.

Scenarios such as rebellion never occurred—because the soldiers, too, understood that the benefits of unity far outweighed the need for separate nations. As a result, no rebellions or mass-casualty events took place.

On the fourth day, the Terra Federation made a historic announcement: the complete abolition of all former global currencies.

Whether it was the Indra Dollar, the Avalon Credit, or the Bear Empire's Rubrum—all were rendered obsolete. In their place, the Unified Terra Credit (UTC) was formally introduced, issued and regulated by the newly established Terra Federation Central Bank.

This move marked the dawn of a truly global and solar currency, fully digital, eliminating the need for paper notes or coins.

All previous banking institutions were dissolved, and citizens were required to convert their wealth into the new virtual currency system.

The Terra Credit became the only recognized legal tender, backed directly by the authority of the Terra Council.

While this massive shift inevitably caused some disruptions in wealth distribution, the Federation had already anticipated such fallout. A series of preventive financial protocols and stabilization mechanisms had been implemented to avoid a global economic collapse.

These included equitable wealth conversion models, protections for low-income citizens, and infrastructure investments to support smooth transition across all socio-economic classes.

On the fifth day, the Terra Federation initiated another significant reform: the mass rollout of VR and AR devices, including headsets and immersion pods, into the civilian market.
