The Second Terran Imperium (Eta Carinae Claimant)
_____________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
The Second Terran Imperium was formed sixty years ago, renaming itself from simply the galaxy-spanning Terran Imperium after nearly 140 years of waiting for Earth to reinstate control and order within the galaxy. With Earth still in anarchy and the Terran Imperium all but entirely destroyed, the Imperial loyalists of Carina and the Sagittarius-Arm have finally given up and have decided to take matters into their own hands.
The Second Terran Imperium is notable for having a very high number of aliens relative to other imperial loyalist factions (and even led by aliens). This is because the Sagittarius Arm (region of the arm closest to Orion) and Carina in particular were regions of space populated by species that benefited from the early humans non-militarised colonisation phase and/or sided with the empire during the war against the original Solar Confederation, it also in recent history (post-fall) has been the target of numerous alien invasions and migrations from other parts of the galaxy.
Ever since the early wars with the Martians, xenophobia against aliens has been more than common, so the aliens of the Carina-Sagittarius region of space have mostly got by by exploiting their position as a ‘model minority’, gained through their assistance to humanity in its earlier wars.
The aliens lost most of their nations and sovereignty over the centuries and millennia, more due to simple overwhelming influence of Earth and the Terran Imperium than invasion, eventually submitting to vassalage, annexation and eventually assimilation. Today, the many native aliens of the “Second Imperium” (due to the time since assimilation and close proximity to Earth) don’t even recognise their own native cultures, much of their culture now either being heavily merged with human culture or almost entirely supplemented by it.
The Second Terran Imperium is particularly championed by the Hexanagallion people, aliens based from Carina who like other pro-human aliens cut their teeth as a civilisation fighting for the imperial humans in the Solar Wars, their entire species was technologically uplifted from the Industrial Age by humanity to fight for them in their wars (making them a direct contrast with humanity's own first contact experience with the Martians).

GOVERNMENT AND PERSONALITIES
Type of Government: Absolute Monarchy(De jure), Regency Military Junta(De facto)
Capital System (De Jure): Earth, Sol (Claimed, does not actually control)
Capital System (De Facto): Carina Prime, Eta Carinae
Head of State: N/A (Disputed among numerous human imperial claimants)
Head of Government: Generalissimo & Regent, Lawrence Tos Aktsar’Remavir
The Government Details: The Second Terran Imperium is officially ruled by an emperor or empress, however has not had one since its formation, since like other imperial remnants/successors it is still trying to decide who is the legitimate successor of the Terran Imperium. Because they lack the monarchy they claim to represent, the Second Terran Imperium is actually ruled by a regency council that is mostly dominated by military officials. The military junta in turn is mostly dominated by Hexanagallions, the aliens controlling the most disciplined military forces during the fall which did not drastically splinter/dissolve into rabble, enabling them to seize power by default.

Leaders:
Generalissimo and Regent, Lawrence Tos Aktsar-Remavir
Lawrence (taking a human first name like most Hexanagallions) is the current de facto ruler of the Second Terran Imperium. Lawrence is a renown war hero and a genius military commander. He mostly appeared from anonymity descending from an old but minor military family, rising through the officer ranks through winning improbable victories, launching successful risky assaults and other unorthodox activities. Charismatic, somewhat eccentric and respected authority figure for the men and women that serve under him, he seems to be the perfect ruler... if not for his disappointing lack of interest in politics.
Lawrence, a latter-day Cincinnatus would find his lack of political ambition endearing in a republican nation, but here he is looked at as pathetic by both his political rivals and allies, who each conspire against him. His position of leader was gained by his allies giving it to him, an appointment mostly to stop their rivals from taking the position by force, as well as to placate the human populace who consider him a "good alien". While he is not exactly a puppet, his political power is much less than it appears, and the political stability of the country pays for it.
As Generalissimo, Lawrence mostly sees his political appointment as nothing more than a means to achieve more funding and supplies for the front, and is perfectly aware of what his political enemies and allies think of him. In his eyes, politics is currently meaningless since their imperium is simply a placeholder until the wars of unification are completed.
Belonging to the pro-human loyalist faction that emphasises reunification of the Terran Imperium and reestablishment of the imperial dynasty, Lawrence is considered one of the most human-friendly faces in the upper command, particularly compared to his fellow Hexagallion generals whom are more interested in creating a distinctly Hexanagallion-led "Terran" imperium. Among Hexanagallions, while he is greatly respected for his ingenuity and success, he is considered a blatant terranophile that would sabotage their species ascension to supremacy in the galaxy.
