Terran Republic

The Terran Republic was the successor state to the Terran Empire in the mirror universe. It was created in 2293 by Emperor Spock, who assumed the role of Consul. Unlike the former Empire, the Republic was a representative democracy and renounced pre-emptive war as foreign policy. The freedoms and morals of the newly-formed republic were viewed as signs of weakness by its galactic neighbors, and within two years the Klingons and Cardassians formed an alliance which conquered the Republic and enslaved its population.
