Terran Aegis Command
The War
Sory of the Terran Aegis Command (T.A.C) Univers
Part I: They have arrived
In the middle of the 21st century, humanity finally stepped out of its own shadow. After the wars, pandemics, and inner conflicts of Earth, the first true symbol of unity was born: the Terran Alliance Command. The T.A.C. was more than a military organization – it was humanity’s promise, forged in armor, that freedom would never again be trampled.
Yet the cosmos did not hear that promise. In the summer of 2056, as colony ships were already building the future on the outer worlds,
And then came Kahori. The colony later remembered by historians as the first blood sacrifice. Kahori, with its lush forests and cities of steel, was the pride of the Terran Aegis– and the Grogan’s first target. The siege was swift and merciless. The sky burned crimson, anti-air defenses fell silent within hours, and when the hordes broke through the city walls, half the population was already gone. It was then that the elite of the T.A.C. Rangers entered the fray – those men and women made superhuman not only by their weapons and armor, but by their will.
the Grogan arrived from the unknown dark. Not diplomatic vessels, not explorers – but living weapons, insectoid swarms pushing forward from the shadow of a collective mind. They did not bargain. They sent no message. They came in waves, as if driven by a single pulsing nervous system. At first, the world’s military councils doubted. How could an insect species be a threat to a civilization of industry and nuclear power? But the Grogan were not mere flesh – they grew armor, fired spikes from their own bodies, and each one knew the thoughts of the others. A single strategy, a single intent, as if beneath the stars a hive-mind decreed the end of humanity.
Among them was Ramona 01, Heavy Trooper – the soldier of steel, carrying the heaviest of weapons, yet faster than anyone on the battlefield. At her side fought another Ranger, whose name the world would only learn later, when together they turned the tide of battle in a single decisive moment. The Grogan waves kept coming. They shattered walls, silenced communications with their shrieking maws, and the colony’s last soldiers fell one by one. Ramona’s armor already bore a dozen cracks, her helmet split open by a Grogan’s bladed limb – tearing into her face as well – yet still she stood. The minigun thundered in her grip, and the earth itself trembled under the storm of bullets. And then the impossible happened: the Grogan suddenly fell back. From their shared cover, the Rangers watched as the dark swarm, which until then had demanded every inch in blood and metal, began to retreat. As if struck by sudden fear. Thus the battered remnants of the Grogan army withdrew even from Kahori’s outskirts. That was the moment the T.A.C. Rangers realized: the Grogan had not come only to kill. Perhaps… they were fleeing from something. And the world had no idea that the Battle of Kahori was only the beginning.
