- From the moment the first artificial satellites were rocketed into the orbit of Earth, the human conquest of space was perhaps inevitable. As mankind enters the last decades of the 30th century, it does so across dozens of worlds under the United Empire of Earth.

We'll be streaming some Star Citizen this Thursday! Join us on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/templininstitute
Here's an idea... What if you have a "Subscriber Nations" week? As in, a subscriber makes a nation in the form of almost writing their own Templin Institute video, and if you find this nation good enough, you make a video on it along side a few others across a week? They can even capture send in flag designs and such. Call me insane, but that sounds like a pretty cool idea!
Finally something from the most (in)famous Alpha universe (so far).

Subtitles: the progressive Transitionalist Party
Narrator: the progressive Traditionalist Party
Lol I heard 'Traditionalist Party' there and knew something was up
Didn't think to check the subs though
Why can't progress be a tradition ?
I mean, the UEE emerged from a democratic government. Going back to "traditional" values would imply going back to a democratic state.
This alternate future sounds like a timebomb! I mean a Senate? Each representing a single planet in a federal system? Might as well have a sign reading "abuse me" on the office door.
How can there be any potential for corruption?
Failing and corrupt senate, ineffective government, impoverished and underrepresented outer regions, extremely powerful cut throat organizations and an overgrown executive power.
Remove Earth and have the UEE include many different species of aliens and it starts to look a lot like The Republic...
My thoughts exactly.
I'd love to try to create a new political party in the UEE later in SCs development.
One for electoral reform.
Switching to a proportional electoral system with electoral circles in each star system with multiple seats in each and a number of leveling seats for the empire as a whole used to ensure that parties that doesn't have concentrated power in any one star system but that remain relatively popular still can get seats based on their overall popularity.
Long term perhaps also work to reduce the influence of the army, although that's probably too much to deal with early on...
"What shall we name our progressive tradition breaking party?"
"How about the Traditionalists"
"...Genius!"
They are called the Transitionalists, because they want to transition to having a different planet as the capital.
@@JaleXelJela I also heard it as Traditionalist, but the subtitles do say Transitionalist
@@JaleXelJela I blame narrator flub since he clearly says Traditionalist even though as you say the CCs say Transistionalists which does indeed, make a lot more sense.
@@HaldorZX Yeah almost certainly, totally understandable slip, and a really minor nitpick of a great video :D
@@JaleXelJela Yeah likely cause he was talking about the traditionalist faction right before. Having no knowledge of Star Citizen I just thought that was honestly what they were called lol.
But... that's just Roman History but futuristic
That was Chris Roberts' ultimate goal and he was very vocal about it. The UEE is a late empire that is slowly losing ground to a faction literally named after the Vandals. It's still a fun narrative though.
You are correct. The UEE is based off of the roman empire during its decline, and similiarly to the roman empire it is speculated (irl) that unless things change, the UEE will see its own futuristic version of the fall of the western roman empire with the sacking of Earth.

Hello there!
Glad to see a larger group covering Star Citizen lore. Thank you for covering the topic and I hope your streams are as bug free as possible.
The logo of the UEE looks like the FN Hertzal company logo
Just as I was getting into Star Citizen lore, you guys give us this!
this has inspired me into trying star citizen again after years, hopefully it will not disappoint me again.
You will be both pleasently surprised and somewhat disheartened by it. Just be ready for low frame rates and bugs. Still a ways away from being ready to lock down bugs and optimize.
2:00 the High Secretary can also contact the most powerful member of the Advocacy … _Batman_

Fun fact: Gary Oldman who plays commissioner Gordon from the Dark Knight trilogy plays Admiral Bishop in the single player campaign of Star Citizen, Squadron 42. You could see his character addressing the senate in a clip used in this video!
Can you imagine a Star Citizen, Infinite Warfare, Expanse, Killzone, Planetside, Stellaris Invicta, Section 8, Starship Troopers (Invasion Storyline) and Mass Effect?!
Passable system, but goddamn if 'United Empire of Earth' isnt one of the dumbest names for interstellar human civilization
About as bad as some "Terran Protectorate" or "United Earth Government/Federation".
Do ones that are supposed to be dumb like the Democratic Order Of Planets (D.O.O.P) count?
It's reflective of how centralised and outdated the structure is, in an age where decentralisation and progress away from tradition is required.
The whole thing is based on the Roman Empire including the name. Since the Roman Empire was named after a single city, this one is named after a single planet.
@@viktors3182 I understand that, but purposely making your name silly is still silly--
It'd be like someone managing to restructure the UK into the "Federated Empire of Londonium", it's just too weird and anachronistic to take seriously in a hard sci-fi setting imo.
Well kind of thing this is setting is actually the best future humanity has any chance to get...
(though I have to admit I would take Battletech´s Rashalhague dominion (Former Free Rashalhague Republic integrated with Clan Ghost Bear) too...

So for some time UEE government style resembled the Terran Federation from Starship Troopers.
I'm a lot more into a man-to-man space conflict storyline than humanity against other species. That's something I got form Star Lancer.
Star Citizen lore is actually very thought through and interesting.
Happy to see y'all looking into it!
And there’s a fuckload of it.
They have like 4 people who’s sole job is the lore lol. All that money.
And now the Templin institute made a video talking about why it's worldbuilding is bad.
@@NoMustang273 for me the commenter lost sight on how most of the lore-consumers consumes Star Citizen lores, that being, on a smaller scale personal level.
You can see just how based on Imperial Rome the UEE is
gotta love the alternate worlds from games that might never be finished
The govt of Duke Nukem Forever?
We'll probably invent ftl technology before star citizen is finished.
Meanwhile EVE Online is somewhere in the background going, "dude, I've been a fully released game since 2003, where's my Templin video?"
So basically the United Empire of Earth is an Roman Republic senate that became like the roman empire but then reverted to the roman republic again sounds like history repeats it self
This is heresy, they don’t even worship the God-Emperor of Man
That's because this is the early years of the Dark Age of Technology, the Imperium and the Glory of the God-Emperor won't come for another 27'000 years
Ok I originally made this as a joke but I’m legit considering the possibility of Star Citizen being a prequel to WH40K
That might make sense
@@loach5348 I actually consider the movie Event Horizon to be a 40K Prequel, with the titular ship having a prototype Warp Drive, but no Geller Field
GOD Emperor of Terra, meet Empire of Earth.

I wasn't expecting this this morning. Cheers Templin for another great video
As a old Templin Institute video pointed out, a World govt is a common sci fi trope [even The Expanse has it].
Are there any decent sci fi IP's that have Humanity still being a bunch of different Nations in the future that can't/won't co-operate and international rivalries extend into space and even the stars?
Ther is a book series called the Lost Fleet, that is the closest series I can think of.
I think someone should do a computer game version of the reality show "Say Yes To The Dress". That would be AWESOME!
Oh I love Star Citizen.
Please make more videos about it!
The UEE seems like the United Citizens Federation in Starship Troopers or the Alliance of Worlds in Firefly/Serenity.
I wonder what would happen if the alliance of worlds from firefly/serenity got into a all out war with the United Empire of Earth
I didn't have a clue Star Citizen had this much lore for the UEE... Can't wait to see it in the full product in 2030
yeah man it'll be a really good game in 2030, assuming they can port it to the nintendo holodeck
I'd like to see a Totalist India from the Kaiserreich universe reach the interspace age. You guys could even use both games to chart the whole history.
Oh man I've been waiting for this one. Thanks for showing Star Citizen some love :D
This was unexpected, I learnt quite a bit. I’m apart of a one of the largest PMC’s within the ‘Verse, TBSI, The Black Star Initiative. If you’re interested we could maybe discuss a collab. We’ve got some lore but could always do with more
Bunch of pansys the TBSI are. (Jk just creating lore drama)
14:07 Nice reference to Bismark there.
The God-Emperor: This Empire...Needs more gold in its aethetics
And more skulls
I sure do hope that the Templin Institute would make a video on a Homeworld faction...
Humanity really just gotta unite so we can party like this.
Hell, no... For the most of its history, the UEE was a fucking dictatorship ruled by a dynasty of mad homicidal (and eventually - genocidal) autocrates, who ruthlessly oppressed their own people. And after the revolution, the UEE turned into a corrupt and highly inefficient democracy, struggling to maintain itself.
Thats how i think about communism
Big fan of yours and of Star Citizen. In future star citizen videos it would be great if could mention that while the UEE is the sole human political authority, large number of the populus have become disillusioned with it. These people have formed crime syndicates which are growing into quasi-factions powerful enough to contest UEE sovereignty on colonial worlds.
The institutions of government, weighed down by politics and intrigue, have lost their impact. The tools of politicians are blunting, the grip of centralized power is waning in strength. The corporations, though prolific and powerful, are being muzzled by their dedication to the bottom line. The next age of humanity is coming and it will be determined, not by the efforts of its governments, nor the schemes of its corporations, but by the actions of its citizens.
^^^Take note. *We're living in that day and age right. now.*
One word, one banner, the stars await!
I see Empire. I click.
I've been a backer for some too now and all of your points hit on my frustration with the lore
To me sons and daughters of Tera. For The Empire!!
Citizen and commoners is actually a good idea but impossible to implement without backlash
As an avid follower of star citizen and this channel, I was never expecting this, and can't even say im necessarily happy because of just how stupid some of the stuff in the UEE is, but hey, ill still enjoy the video
come back on Thursday
@@TemplinInstitute This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!
@@TemplinInstitute your video contains errors, do your research better next time.
@@shaftoe195 relax
Christ, you're a bit tetchy aren't you?
I'm curious to know exactly how many versions of the "united Earth sci-fi nation" there have been over the years 😅
Strange that education is so important in this universe.usually, it’s like resources or monetary inequality in these sci-if settings
they are linked, money--> better education--> citizenship --> more opportunity --> more money. The advantage of the core worlds is cheap public education which helps close the wealth advantage; but in the frontier the rich get richer and the poor get poorer due to the lack of public serves to close the gap.
I'll be honest. I didn't expect you to do a video on something from Star Citizen, which has not been completed or released. I fear that one day this game might turn out to be another Duke Nukem Forever.
Anyway, if or when the game is finally finished and released, I hope you'll return to Star Citizen.
Well..... you can "play" the MMOish part of it now, so it has that going for it. Just a shadow of the intent, but could be cleaned up as is and be a "full" game.
Enjoyed the video, pretty well done for a breakdown
The Synthworld seems an apt metaphor for Star Citizen itself.
Earth interstellar empire there are a lot of those
I knew the Templin Institute would do this lore all great minds do think alike great broadcast
Still waiting for the full release
Hope you don’t mind waiting another 8 years and be sure to buy a 2000 dollar ship
@@jcheck1107 Tbh anyone with a couple of working hands and a working brain will do just fine with a $45-60 ship. Hell, it's not like a single person even can operate a $2000 ship by themselves, you'll need like 20 people and tens of millions of in-game credits to make it work, and even then that giant ship can still fall to a bunch of smaller, cheaper vessels - as can be seen from many such videous already uploaded to youtube. :)

I love the art from this story 😊
things that happened during star citizen development : cyberpunk was announced and released
I think that the UEE should have been named United Colonial Empire because the name just focus on earth whereas there are other planets with the same power as Earth.
Or human empire
@@rhorynotmylastname7781 Maybe but, in my opinion, that sounds xenophobe, something that doesn't fit with the “current” diplomatic policies.
@@Linterna001 rather than UEE or UCE why not just call it Preparation E
@@Jasontrower-rundle I didn't get the joke.
@@Linterna001 are there aliens in the UEE
Imagine even trying to engage in diplomacy with the xenos
Actually how about "the discordant union" or even "the discordant" as a nation who recognises the constant balancing act of personal freedom and collective action inherent in governing and chooses to incorporate that in the name as a warning against complacency either way?
The last few lines of the video made me think of the current political economic climate of Earth now. Ineffective corrupt governments, senators/leaders with no term limits, uncontrollable greedy corporations, only we the citizens of earth can bring back balance to the planet...
Can you do The United Citizen Federation, also referred to as the Terran Federation of Starship Troopers next
Interesting. Wasn’t expecting this one but I love it all the same
Last time I was this early I couldn't think of a funny joke
It will be interesting to see just where/which way this goes.......
Templin: The United Empire of Earth is not a good name
Again Templin: Makes an entire video on it.
(PS this is a joke ok?)
Earliest I've been for one of the Institute's vids.
Thank you the English subtitle.
I've been waiting for this one for so long! So glad to see you giving SC/SQ42 some love.
prepare to be disappointed in us
@@TemplinInstitute ouch
united earth? Where is the double headed eagle on that flag huh?
They could've made a great TV show with that $350m
Many assumptions and some mistakes in this video. ie. There is no "High General" within the UEE at the moment, the position is always occupied by the imperator to not allow a single individual to control the military, thus the highest ranking members of the military are the 3 Legatus.
I really enjoyed this video, and always glad to see SC lore getting an airing beyond its community. There's a few minor trivia errata that might interest you.
3:00 This mixed up the platforms of the Centralists and the Universalists: both are conservative and free market supporters, but its the Centralists who are the more extremely free market and the Universalists who are the more extremely conservative. The third party is the Transitionalists, not Traditionalists as it sounds like.
4:25 The Imperator does not need to be a Senator: the new Imperator wasn't, and neither were most of the candidates. They do need to be a Citizen rather than a Civilian, though.
6:06 The term is Civilian, not Commoner.
12:00 It was actually leaked footage of the total biocide of an alien world, terraformed despite possessing an ecosystem.
Minor minor nitpicks!
thanks for this info! It was pretty hard to get some solid details on some of these points as it seems like the lore has changed a bit over the years.
@@TemplinInstitute you are not wrong: perils of a game in development. Particularly annoying when they retcon something with a RUclips video, but leave the now defunct lore up as a text post that search engines still recommend.
It's a lot of backstory. How many years of development did that take?
Thanks for doing this!
Now that's a Movie!!!!!
Been waiting for SC to appear on this channel! ❤
With an SC vid done, how about one on Elite Dangerous?
4:16 dude is extremly similar to current leader of Poland.

I haven't played Star Citizen yet but I can see why the main faction name is bad.
Would "Human Interstellar Republic" sound better?
Ah yes, empire of Based earthlings
Ok so maybe I'll check out Star Citizen.
*Service guarantees Citizenship*
@The Temple Institute, I don't think you understand what fascism is. But otherwise, The UEE is a beautiful empire. I love it.
yesss!! star citizen content!!!
I hope they one day to the campaign
I've often felt that the UEE Navy fleet design is terrible. Individually they are all well designed-ish. But taken as a fleet, or even same ships on a taskforce mission were terrible designed. Why does the Idris have the largest gun, and 3 fighter craft? The large gun denotes that its a capital killer, the small group of fighter craft denotes that its a patrol boat, or a ship sent out to investigate/scout. The rest are just turret guns and torps of various sizes. Honestly, only the Hammerhead is well designed for its clear purpose of a fighter screen and ground support. In current Naval fleets each ship is well designed for its individual purpose, its roles and intentions clearly defined. Can work by itself and especially as part of a fleet. UEE Fleet design, atleast the current ships they've made don't really seem to work very well together. With roles and designs contrary to eachother.
Star Citizen. Being wanting to try that out. But I don't have the rig for it.
Don't worry. By the time you do have a rig the game still won't be done.
@@danielboyas7645 And when you do, you got so tired of waiting that you removed the installation, speaking from experience :-)

I think a better name for this faction would of been the "United Union of Earth." Instead of Empire.
in lore they tried to change the name post-dictatorship but it always gets bogged down in politics
Or simply name it like "The United Colonies."
