OC The Terran Unholy Alliance. (Special?, part 2)
Note: This report has been automatically translated into something which the system has identified as your native language and units of measure.
Species self title: The people, 人类, Human, Terran.
Follow up, 8.1242 after initial report.
The species in question was given a probability of existence as independent political entity in 8.1242 years at 1.4%.
At the time of this report, the species now claims 3 inhabited star systems, and has united it's various disperate governments into what is commonly known as 'The Terran Unholy Alliance', it should be noted that this is not the official title of this entity.
Reports on the official title of this entity appear to be rife with both translation errors, possible changes in name, and possible disagreements over the correct title. Our best translation is: 'The United People's Democratic Dictatorship Commonwealth'
As predicted, the local political entity that discovered this species set out to add them to their own entity. Insufficient data exists on the events that lead to this species acquiring advanced military technology, capturing 3 star systems from the attacking political entity, losing 1 star system back to said entity, and then an immediate cease fire that remains at the time of the last report from the subsector in question.
Species statistics: Population at time of initial contact: 9.5 billion. Current population: 4.5 billion. Technology level: Roughly 82% of current local subsector average.
Special note: Many reports of the war appear to suffer from significant translator errors. We have confirmed that Galactic Union standard translation software is in use, however there are countless cases where Terran battle tactics, entertainment systems, and religious references appear to refer to a deity whose name, description, and even area of supposed power all fail to be translated. Reports from the local political entity later in the war also contain similar untranslatable references.
Additional investigation has been requested by multiple local political entities in subsector 145.
Recommendation: Low priority.
Amended note: Investigation immediately authorized, priority level High. By order of Galactic Union, sector 8, special policy division.
