Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stellaris Invicta is a Stellaris Let's Play on Twitch created by the YouTube channel The Templin Institute. It employs the game to craft stories revolving around future human civilizations.The first season, narrated by Larissa Thompson, focuses on the Greater Terran Union, the military regime that led humanity after thwarting an Alien Invasion by a race called the Tyrum from 2089 to 2096, later emerging onto the galactic stage as a rising imperial power dedicated to making sure that humanity is never threatened by invasion again.The second season, narrated by Stephen Trafford, revolves around the Antares Confederacy, an alliance of Lost Colonies descended from a colonization fleet that left Earth in 2159 only for a wormhole accident to dump them in the wrong system, where they were forced to survive on several harsh Death Worlds instead of the thriving, developed colony they were originally heading to. What's more, the leaders have figured out that something terrible happened to Earth after they left, and that if they ever do return to their homeworld, the Confederacy may have to liberate it. In addition to a Stellaris Let's Play, season two also features a Cities: Skylines Lets Play titled Skylines Invicta: Founders of Antares, focused on the Antares Confederacy's capital of Sagallo as it grows from a small colonial outpost to the seat of a galactic empire.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In addition to videos on the centuries-long campaigns of the Union and the Confederacy, the Templin Institute has also released supplemental videos detailing their history and organization, which can be found in each season's playlists. These are not necessary to understand the story, but provide useful worldbuilding, context, and Sequel Hooks. | |

Gaia's Lament | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_13a6b7ef | comment |
Gaia's Lament: An alien example. Vrul-Ho was destroyed by mining operations that eventually Dug Too Deep and destabilized the planet's crust, rendering it uninhabitable and forcing the evacuation of as much of the Vrul elite as they could to a new world. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: After defeating the Vrul, the Confederacy grants them full citizenship and free movement within their territory, and begins to reconstruct their economy. By the time of the Athorian War, the Confederacy is led by a Vrul Prime Minister. It remains to be seen if the same occurs with the rump of the Baanthurian Khanate. The same thing happens after the Confederacy defeats and conquers the Screk. The fact that the Confederacy doesn't exterminate them, but instead rebuilds their worlds and gives them full rights as citizens, shocks and humbles them, with one of their leaders quoted as saying "if they can forgive us, they will be the greatest nation in all reality." | |

Ironic Echo: The Antares Confederacy invaded the Vrul Salvation League because of how their elite abandoned the rest of the Vrul to die on their increasingly uninhabitable homeworld. We later find out that this was the exact excuse that the Collaborators use to justify their invasion of Earth and creation of the United Terran Protectorates, that the Earhart colonization fleet was comprised of Earth's elites abandoning the rest of humanity to die on Earth That Was. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Earth's alien rulers, the Screk, have the same avatar as the Tyrum from season 1. The Earhart Flotilla got lost due to a freak accident during transit through an artificial Wormhole. Wormhole drives were one of the three original ways to travel in Stellaris, until they got replaced by hyperlanes while wormholes were relegated to a handy but rare natural phenomena. Additionally, the Confederacy’s origin almost perfectly mirrors the base game’s human Lost Colony: The Commonwealth of Man. | |

Earth That Used to Be Better | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_26d48b37 | comment |
Earth That Used to Be Better: Officially, the Antares Confederacy tells the public that it received no messages from Earth after passing through the wormhole. In truth, their leaders received over a hundred mostly garbled messages implying that something very bad happened to Earth, such that they suspect that, if they ever return home, it will be to liberate their homeworld. It turns out that Earth was invaded by aliens, who created a collaborator regime called the United Terran Protectorates. By the time Antares finally liberates it, Earth is a blasted hellhole thanks to centuries of totalitarian rule. It gets better. | |

Standard Human Spaceship: Both the Union and the Confederacy use the game's "Mammalian" shipset, which is this trope to a T: grey, boxy, and covered in antennae and greebles. The United Terran Protectorates in season 2 use the "Humanoid" shipset, which is a sleeker design but still grey and recognizably human in origin. | |

Battle Thralls | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_326bed3 | comment |
More broadly for the Screk, the reason they invaded Earth was because, in their research into other dimensions, they stumbled upon the universe of season one where humanity reigned supreme over the galaxy, and wanted to both nip that threat in the bud and turn humanity into their own warrior caste to serve them. All this did was piss off the lost human colony of Antares, which became the actual human-led military superpower that ultimately destroyed them. | |

Finally, the alpine world of Nakiska is a closely guarded secret and, like Ariane, an exclusion zone, with what little is known about it concerning its cool climate, towering mountains, and vast alien forests. Officially, the Confederacy says that no attempts were ever made to colonize this planet, but its constituent republics all have evidence proving that one colony ship did in fact land there, and the fate of said colony ship has been fodder for Conspiracy Theorists throughout the Confederacy. What's more, lights have been documented as appearing on its surface, which the Confederacy dismisses as natural phenomena. It's the world where, ages ago, the Screk's wormhole experiments brought the Unbidden into the galaxy the first time. And The Stinger reveals that Antares scientists discovered human beings on the planet. | |

Bittersweet Ending: More "sweet" than "bitter, but it takes a lot to accomplish it. The Antares Confederacy triumphs over both the Unbidden and the Greater Terran Empire and reforms into the Antares Commonwealth, a more centralized and powerful state capable of carrying the torch of liberty and challenging any who might threaten it. Unfortunately, by the time they defeat the GTE, Earth That Was has become a blasted hellhole thanks to centuries of oppression and exploitation, leaving many to wonder if it was all worth it. | |

Kill the Poor: The Vrul Salvation League did this on a ghoulish scale. Once it was learned that their homeworld Vrul-Ho was dying thanks to their own greed, the Vrul set out to colonize a new world, Torix — but only the elite were invited to go. The rest of the Vrul were worked to death in the mines on their doomed homeworld, given the false promise of a ticket to Torix as a reward for their work. The Antares Confederacy is so appalled by how the Vrul treated their own people that it leads them to declare war. | |

Humans Are White: Averted. The people aboard the Earhart colonization fleet mostly came from the "Third World", specifically Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean, and South America, as the first wave of colonists to the original Antares system came mostly from the world's wealthier nations. It's mentioned that Islam is the largest religion in the Confederacy, followed by Christianity, Hinduism, and atheism, and while the Confederacy's most common languages include French and Spanish, they also include Swahili, Arabic, and Vietnamese. | |

The Empire | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_556a4e20 | comment |
The Screk ultimately prevailed in their first war against the Unbidden, but the cruel measures they took to win turned what had once been an upstanding member of the galactic community into The Empire and destroyed their credibility with the galaxy's alien races, the devastation that the war inflicted on the galaxy meant that upstart alien empires could challenge their authority by the time they pulled themselves back together, and while the Unbidden were down, they were not out, and they would one day return. This led them to become a Fallen Empire. | |

United Space of America | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_56cc0339 | comment |
United Space of America: Some of the specifics of the Confederacy's byzantine governmental system seem quite similar to those of the United States. Namely, it has a bicameral legislature, with the Chamber of Representatives meant to represent the people (members are elected democratically and apportioned according to the population) while the Senate is meant to represent the Confederacy's constituent republics (each republic gets equal representation, and Senators are selected by the leadership of their republics), much like how the United States Senate was structured before the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment. The capital of Sagallo, like Washington, D.C., is a federal city not part of any of the Confederacy's republics. It is also a cultural Melting Pot of people with roots all over Earth (and, as time goes on, various alien species), with strict laws preserving freedom of religion and language, and much like the Mayflower, their colonization fleet landed up very far away from their intended destination. One notable difference, however: unlike the US, it is a parliamentary system rather than a presidential one, with executive power vested in the head of the Chamber of Representatives (the prime minister) rather than a separate office (like the US President).

Pragmatic Villainy | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: The GTU is socially liberal and does not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Not because they particularly care about equality, but because it makes no sense to turn down useful manpower when you're trying to preserve humanity. This ultimately extends to accepting alien races within their ranks, with a Wessari eventually becoming High Marshall and the Union being forced to abandon its human-centric xenophobia. | |

Death World | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_63557923 | comment |
Death World: The system that the ships landed up in was filled with these. Of the nineteen settlements they established across eight planets, only eleven colonies on six planets survived, and the fate of one colony is classified. It was 149 years after first landing when regular contact between the surviving colonies was reestablished, and by that time, they had evolved into separate nations entirely and formed four separate power blocs. Dakarai, the most habitable and Earthlike world in the Antares system, is blessed with great mineral wealth and a perfect climate for growing human crops... but is also plagued by massive hurricanes owing to its slightly larger oceans and warmer temperature compared to Earth. Needless to say, it is the most populated planet in the Antares system, and the Republic of Rutiva and the Federation of Jut Fareed, the Confederacy's two largest and most powerful nations, both originated on this planet. The ocean world of Hai is the second most populated and habitable planet in the system. It shares Dakarai's propensity for mega-hurricanes, but it lacks mineral wealth and natural resources, most of which are found on the planet's sole continent. The Republic of Chengatai is based on that continent, and the much smaller Federation of Rhumdara is based on Hai's many island chains. Lindiwe was initially thought to be a great choice for settlement, but serious environmental issues eventually cropped up, too late for them to relocate. Along the banks of the planet's largest river, a giant insect carried a deadly plague that killed about 30% of the colonists living there, and near the colony of Sagallo, the soil composition caused the crops they attempted to grow to asphyxiate themselves; only a breakthrough in genetic engineering by a scientist named Rho Phan and the support of a sympathetic officer named Banza allowed them to solve their food problem (and solve their energy problem while they were at it). The republics of Maltuan, Alfjari-Vet, and Mandakir are based here, as is the Confederacy's capital at Sagallo. Alhaji lacks oceans, but is still blessed with fertile soils and serves as the breadbasket of the Antares system. The Union of Thanh-Jenal controls the entire planet. At the end, it's revealed that Alhaji was terraformed into a Gaia World, a utopian paradise for all species. Vinh, another ocean world, is plagued by volcanism but blessed with enormous mineral wealth and exotic resources. The Commonwealth of Embasora controls the entire planet. Like Alhaji, Vinh too gets terraformed into a Gaia World. Vinh has a single moon, Ziva, a jungle world where said jungle is actively hostile to human life, but is also the only world with life forms as evolutionarily complex as Earth's. The Sabmadi Republic, one of the planet's two nations, only survived because of the firepower of its military drones, while the Tehnali Republic was founded by those who hid in underground caves to escape the hostile wildlife. Two other colonies on Ziva both failed. Ariane seemed like a pleasant world at first and was even considered the jewel of the Antares system, but none of the colonies that landed there survived, owing to its Earthlike qualities being such that the colonists were given only the bare minimum equipment needed for terraforming... only for them to discover too late that the anomalies in the planet's magnetic field would cause extrasolar radiation to kill their crops and give them cancer. Humans are still banned from visiting its surface. Finally, the alpine world of Nakiska is a closely guarded secret and, like Ariane, an exclusion zone, with what little is known about it concerning its cool climate, towering mountains, and vast alien forests. Officially, the Confederacy says that no attempts were ever made to colonize this planet, but its constituent republics all have evidence proving that one colony ship did in fact land there, and the fate of said colony ship has been fodder for Conspiracy Theorists throughout the Confederacy. What's more, lights have been documented as appearing on its surface, which the Confederacy dismisses as natural phenomena. It's the world where, ages ago, the Screk's wormhole experiments brought the Unbidden into the galaxy the first time. And The Stinger reveals that Antares scientists discovered human beings on the planet. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Antares" is derived from the Greek Ἀντάρης, meaning roughly "rival-to-Ares"note the real star was named Antares because, like Mars, it is red and resides in the zodiac. Ares being the god of war, the name Antares is meaningful here in that it reflects the Confederacy's desire for peace and democracy in an otherwise chaotic and despotic galaxy, and also sets them apart from the first season's Greater Terran Union. | |

| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_9bca83eb | comment |
Death by Irony: As the Confederacy landed on the Screk's homeworld, several leaders expecting to be treated as badly as they treated the aliens they conquered fled to their vassal state, the United Terran Protectorates... which committed genocide against them when it became the Greater Terran Empire. By contrast, those who stayed behind were surprised by the mercy shown by the invaders. More broadly for the Screk, the reason they invaded Earth was because, in their research into other dimensions, they stumbled upon the universe of season one where humanity reigned supreme over the galaxy, and wanted to both nip that threat in the bud and turn humanity into their own warrior caste to serve them. All this did was piss off the lost human colony of Antares, which became the actual human-led military superpower that ultimately destroyed them. | |

Eldritch Location: The Antares Miasma is noted to have a strange distribution of alien ruins and relics, almost as if the region is a "cosmic dumping ground" for objects and civilizations across the galaxy. The Screk Empire video reveals that the system that became known as Antares was used by the Screk to test wormhole technology responsible for the galaxy's first Unbidden invasion, which also caused a number of alternate realities to briefly bleed through into ours. | |

Back from the Brink: After suffering massive defeats in its war with Antares, including the collapse of their Screk benefactors, the United Terran Protectorates turn the tide against Antares in a devastating counterattack that puts them on the initiative, eventually forcing a stalemate and shortly after reforming into the Greater Terran Empire, an even more belligerent foe. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: The war against the Anthorian Empire ends with the prior status quo restored, with neither side making any gains, and with the Confederacy at war with the Anthorians' far larger and more powerful ally, the Beldross Empire. The Screk ultimately prevailed in their first war against the Unbidden, but the cruel measures they took to win turned what had once been an upstanding member of the galactic community into The Empire and destroyed their credibility with the galaxy's alien races, the devastation that the war inflicted on the galaxy meant that upstart alien empires could challenge their authority by the time they pulled themselves back together, and while the Unbidden were down, they were not out, and they would one day return. This led them to become a Fallen Empire. | |

Space Romans: As explained in this video, the Antares Confederacy is based on a number of real-life confederacies from throughout history, particularly Canada and The European Union. Their confederal system is based on the relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and the provinces, as well as that between Brussels and the EU's member states, particularly with regards to the tensions between them. Their parliamentary system, particularly the ill-defined role of the Senate, is also based on Canada's. Finally, their cultural diversity and origin as a group of multiple independent nations coming together while still maintaining their sovereignty and distinctiveness is rooted in how the EU was formed. | |

Pretentious Latin Motto: "Hic manebimus optime" — "here we will remain most excellently" — is the slogan of the Confederacy. It comes from Livy, who said that it was first uttered by the centurion Marcus Furius Camillus in an address to the Roman Senate when they planned to evacuate Rome in anticipation of an attack by the Gauls, and was adopted by the Confederacy for their refusal to give up in the face of adversity. | |

We ARE Struggling Together: The Confederate Republics of Antares is a true confederacy, and its government and military are the result of many, many compromises between its constituent nations. The Moya Pact between the Confederacy and the Cloister of the Spirits grows increasingly strained out of a sense that the latter is dragging the former into its wars. The Confederacy eventually withdraws from it as a result, leading to a lot of bad blood between them and the Cloister. | |

Benevolent Alien Invasion: How the Collaborators present themselves to the United Terran Protectorates. In reality, the leaders of the latter are having their doubts, and the "benevolence" is mostly propaganda, with the Protectorates in fact being a Police State where most of the population is kept ignorant. A straight example is the Confederacy's conquest of the Vrul Salvation League, meant to save the masses from a capricious elite. The Vrul become part of the Antares community, though there is admittedly friction at first. When the Confederacy conquers the Screk, the latter are surprised by the mercy and restraint shown by the Confederates. | |

Artistic License – Space: In season 1, the Florian Matriarchy declares war on the GTU for building a Dyson Sphere around Barnard's Star and thus removing it from their skies. The Florian Matriarchy lies hundreds of light years from GTU territory. Barnard's Star lies six light years from Earth, and yet is so dim that it is impossible to see with the naked eye. In season 2, the Earhart flotilla disappears whilst en route to a habitable planet around the star Antares B. In the real world, Antares B is a B-type main sequence star, which have lifespans of less than a billion years — hardly enough time for life to evolve in the system. | |

Hobbes Was Right | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_e96fe76d | comment |
Hobbes Was Right: There is a strong undercurrent of brutal cynicism that underlines much of the GTU's guiding ideology. As the byproduct of a war that nearly led to the extinction of the human race, they assume the worst of practically everyone's intentions. Collectively, humanity is considered a force for greatness; individually, humans are seen as prone to decadence, rebellion and immoral behaviour. All aliens are treated as current or future threats to humanity's survival until they are pacified and subservient to the GTU. The social apparatus of the GTU is geared towards national unity above all other considerations, military force is the number one tool to keep others in line, and cultural, political and religious practices are all heavily policed to minimize internal strife. | |

Along the banks of the planet's largest river, a giant insect carried a deadly plague that killed about 30% of the colonists living there, and near the colony of Sagallo, the soil composition caused the crops they attempted to grow to asphyxiate themselves; only a breakthrough in genetic engineering by a scientist named Rho Phan and the support of a sympathetic officer named Banza allowed them to solve their food problem (and solve their energy problem while they were at it). The republics of Maltuan, Alfjari-Vet, and Mandakir are based here, as is the Confederacy's capital at Sagallo. | |

Big Damn Heroes: As the war with the Great Khan turns against their favor, the Antares are surprised by the surprise aid of the Vran Pilgrims, a Precursors empire that they had previously given some holy relics to. | |

0% Approval Rating: Pretty much the state of the GTU after world cracking the Tyrum homeworld. | |

Garden of Evil | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_edada905 | comment |
Vinh has a single moon, Ziva, a jungle world where said jungle is actively hostile to human life, but is also the only world with life forms as evolutionarily complex as Earth's. The Sabmadi Republic, one of the planet's two nations, only survived because of the firepower of its military drones, while the Tehnali Republic was founded by those who hid in underground caves to escape the hostile wildlife. Two other colonies on Ziva both failed. | |

Alien Invasion | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_f56aeb67 | comment |
Alien Invasion: Centuries prior to the start of the first season, Earth was invaded by the Tyrum. However, humanity managed to cripple the invaders’ orbital command ships with an ICBM barrage, and then spent years fighting the invaders tooth and nail for control of Earth. Eventually, the invaders were pushed off of Earth, though not without great cost. In Season 2, it turns out that Earth has invaded by the Screk, a Higher-Tech Species who initally act as benefactors but ultimately enslave and subdue humanity. | |

Last Stand | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_f7cee9b | comment |
Last Stand: General Liliana Reyes leads one on the planet of Melaka after the Banthurian invasion, one that lasted so much longer than anyone expected that the Great Khan himself had her posthumously declared a Worthy Opponent after the planet was finally captured. Her defiance leads the Confederacy to refuse to accept submission to the Great Khan, and it begins a massive campaign to fight back. | |

Forever War | |
| Stellaris Invicta (Lets Play) / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
Forever War: Over the course of 232 years, from 2263 to 2495, the Terran Union was locked in conflict with the Algan Republic and its allies, fighting a total of seven wars before finally conquering them outright. From 2517 to 2661, the GTU finds itself locked in a seemingly endless stream of wars, first with the Vol Hive, then the Florian Matriarchy, then the NEX computer network, then pretty much the entire galaxy in the Five Front War, then the Fallen Empires of the Mesh Ben and the Jas Gavaz, and then finally with the Unbidden. | |
