Tetus, officially the Tetus People's Republic, is a former Colonial Republic located in the Silvanus System of the Juno Reach. Tetus is the fourth-most populous nation in the Juno Reach after the Republic of Vesta, United States of Juno, and the Silvanus Colonial Republic.
History
Initial Colonization and Settlement
Tetus was initially settled in the 21st century as a part of the Evacuation of Earth. Until 2285, Tetus was referred to as the Tetus Colonial Republic.
The Orr Administration
During the three-term tenure of president Clayton Orr, Tetus had aimed to become the entertainment hub of the Juno Reach. Accompanying this endeavor followed allegations of unchecked corporate excesses and widespread corruption in the dominant casino sector - possibly bolstering guerilla forces in the region. Many critics of the Orr Administration at the time accused President Orr of hiding his extensive relationships with American criminal organizations. Following the Orr Administration's ousting in 2285, a trove of credible evidence alleging severe abuses of power - akin to that of a mafia state - would be unveiled. Amongst the released documents was video evidence of firearms, illicit substances, and vast cash reserves - along with accompanying documents detailing an extensive money-laundering operation run through Tetus hotels and casinos.
Prior to the 2285 Tetus Coup, relations between the Silvanus Colonial Republic and Tetus were rife with tension - as then-president Clayton Orr had repeatedly accused the nearby Colonial Republic of sponsoring Comintern-affiliated militias.
The 2285 Tetus Coup and The Vasquez Administration
Main article: 2285 Tetus Coup
In 2285, the presidency of Clayton Orr was overthrown. The coup saw the establishment of a formalized Socialist Republic under the leadership of former presidential candidate Rachel Vasquez - and the relocation of former president Clayton Orr to the Sigma Draconis Orbital Districts. In her first public address following the successful coup, president Vasquez vehemently denied any Comintern involvement.
OTO Response
An O.T.O. spokesperson refused to rule out the possibility of a military intervention into the Silvanus System following the revolution within the Tetus Colonial Republic. They confirmed discussions were being held with regional partners to determine an appropriate response.
