Nergal Dominion (Galactic Century)

The Crux Republic is one of the primary factions of the Galactic Century. Holding dominion over most of the Regalian Cluster and some outside star systems, the state originally existed as the Regalian Republic until one of its leading commanders, Admiral Crux Dogatie, executed a coup de tat and established himself as the new President, whereupon the state was reformed (in his own image) as the Crux Republic.

Since its birth, the Republic has existed as one of the largest and most infamous modern military dictatorships in the galaxy (with Crux reigning as the "Eternal" President through artificial means), with isolationism, poverty, scarce resources, hardline militarism and the cult of personality surrounding President Dogatie being general characteristics of day to day life. In modern times however, it has since been invaded and conquered by the Zeon Empire during the First Galactic War.

Trivia

 * The Crux Republic, as hinted at by its name and structure, is the Galactic Century incarnation of the Jupiter Empire from Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam.
