Founded on Earth by the Civilian and Military Sectors, the Terran Federation was to be a new government that would reach out at the stars. However this idea was put on hold as hostile star nations wished to see this new Federation crushed. While gaining a few allies the Terran Federation found them selfs on the door step of war as a power star Nation moved in. Struggling to protect their home, Admiral Jason Ecks at the time in command of the Space Naval Command Forces that were in orbit of Earth battled the enemy fleet along with the Galactic Federation (Known then as The Confederacy). The battle wasn't going well and Admiral Ecks was forced to surrender Earth, but he and several other followers left the Sol system to find a new home for the Terran Federation.
Reaching the Gallonigher in a few months, Jason and the followers landed on a new world and called it Terra Prime. After years of rebuilding, the Terran Federation was up and running with Jason Ecks now the President of the Terran Federaton. There he would stay in power for many more years to come. He would also be part of some of the worse conflicts in TF history.
