They wandered for the universe, looking for a new home, when they finished in the system called omicron Iota. There, they were attacked by Nomads and split into groups to increase their possibility of survival. One of their convoys went in Omicron Delta through a jumphole. It was almost completely damaged and the enemy ships were reaching it, when a group of Zoner convoys, seeing it in trouble, brought Latins to safety. In gratitude, Latins decided to allied with Zoners and to respect their rules and covenants. They also try to recover the refugees dispersed in Omicron for founding the new Republic of Latium.

History

Our ancestors and the War of Solar

Our ancestors were a coalition of Nova Roma, a sect in Italy, who expressed itself through the Latin culture. The sect was dreaming of a new social order founded on the values ​​of what that was once the Roman Republic in Italy. This sense of renewal is expressed at its peak with the Allieance-Coalitation war. In that period the Italian state was corrupt and decadent, and was attacked by pro-reformist groups and popular revolts, always repressed with the use of the army. Every current reform expressed their ideas in secret meetings with some people and other groups in churcs with the support of the clerics. So were born ties between the organizations, and the Nova Roma took over the leadership of these founding the Circle of the Reformers. At the news of the destruction of the Italian fleet by the Coalition, the population fell into panic and social order seemed on the verge of collapse. It was at this point, with the terror of the imminent end of the earth, that the sect, to the leadership of the Circle of Reformers and with the consent of a small part of the population, made a radical choice. With his influence, they built some ships with which they would traveled in the universe to found a new colony. Two years later, the Alliance attacked the Coalition and the Sect take advantage of the confusion to send its ships into space.

The foundation of Latium vetus

After many years, these ships went to a new system, where the Circle of Reformers, under the leadership of the Nova Roma, founded the first colony, called Lavinium in honor of Aeneas, the main character of Aeneid to which they felt very close. After the first colony, there were other grounds, which were given Latin names of ancient cities, so the system took on the name of Latium. Also the Nova Roma found the first Republic of Latium and assumed control of the colonies, proclaiming the birth of Latium vetus, the territory occupied by them. Ignorance and indifference of the people never allowed the spread of Latin as a language, as the Sect had wanted. In reality, this language continued to belong only to clubs of reformers. The Sect seek to dissolve thes clubs to avoid the risk of an alliance between them against the excessive power which it had obtained. But Holding the power with the illusion of a Republic founded on the will of the people, they did not notice the birth of a new club, the Imperium Society, who secretly sought the leadership of Latium Vetum. While the colonies grew, others were founded and new trade routes were established. Life in the colonies was pacific and stable social order. The sect controlled the Republic through the favor of the people and the temporany leader, a member who had the task of controlling the operations of the Republic.

The meeting with the Huns and our collapse

The following years, however, were marked by the meeting with a faction of pirates who refused any kind of diplomacy and attacked the settlements more external. We given them the nickname of Huns. The Imperium Society saw the collaboration with the Huns a opportunity 'to directly attack the Nova Roma and take command of Latium Vetus. So they organized a conspiracy against the Republic. They helped the Huns to place their ships in strategic locations, away from watchful eye of the colonies to attack the Latin fleets by surprise. In return the Imperium Society would gain control of the colonies. The 814AS pirates attacked the Latin fleets and colonies. Before long, the the Republic collapsed and the Imperium Society conquered with force the Latium Vetus. Thus began the persecution of the Nova Roma members and these with the part of Latin population still loyal to them tried to escape with some transports in search of a new home.

The attack of the Nomads and the new beginning

Traveling through the universe, after 5 years, the convoys reached Sirius. There were 20 ships, all transports. They were finished in the system called omicron Iota and there, they were attacked by the Nomads. Since they were totally helpless, they split into groups to increase their possibility of survival but only a group went in Omicron Delta through a jumphole. The convoy was almost completely damaged and the enemy ships were reaching them, when a group of Zoner convoys, seeing them in trouble, hit Nomads with a massive attack and brought them to safety. In gratitude, they decided to became allied with Zoners and to respect their rules and covenants. They also decided to start in Sirius the foundations to give a new prosperity to their faction. Their new temporany leader Khassym tooks the task of finding the remaining members lost in omicrons and found the new Repubblic of Latium.

Ranking structure of the old republic.

The old republic was led by the triumvirate, formed by three members representing the will of every section assigned to them. The sections were seperated into three departments:

Military, Commerce, Diplomacy and Development.

Every member who representing the departmets was choosen by the members of his department with a votation.

The departments was formed by three categories:

Praetors, who patrolling and escort our vessels.

Equites, who commerce and export/import products.

Senators, who work as diplomats for the development of the faction.

Only one row was positioned outside the structure, the temporary leader, who had the task of controlling the operation of the Republic.
