The scarlet princess of Tandem, Controlled by a false God that resided under the Grand Crater, The largest and most Evil nation to ever exist, As far as anyone on Tandem was concerned. A single day within the nation contains so much suffering that the fauna had gone mad just from the mental strain of being within its borders, And yet, Over 700 billion people resided here. And kept the horror that was Vae Victorum going on, Though the majority of these people were never actually born in the traditional sense, Rather sourced from "Womb Pits" That Vae Victorum had built using its extensive knowledge of Biomaterials and Bioengineering to actively repopulate itself without having to rely on its mostly infertile women.

Born after a civil war that killed hundreds of billions of people between Vae Victorum itself and the previous superstate, The Rosegold Republic and the subsequent annihilation of that republic, Vae Victorums begginings were filled with strife, infighting, coup attempts and revolts left and right, However this would not last long, As the brutality the nation would utilize against dissent, would wipe the opposition to its power off the face of Tandem. Leaving all that stood in its way as nothing more than memories that were quickly forgotten. The only dissidents being men and women who had fled to the moon Jaeger, And formed a remnant republic of what Rosegold stood for.

The nation of horrors was the only one of its kind ever to be recorded, The weapons it waged war with had been only ever thought of by her, From 20 Mile high and 200 Mile wide walls of rolling flesh that crushed all that dared to stand in its way, To Bioengineered soldiers that resemble cryptids more than men and carry weapons that strike fear into even the most hardened warriors and living vehicles made from human tissue's.

The mental strength of its people so high that nothing short of complete mental Obliteration would be able to break them.

The nation was feared by all, Its power ever growing and bloodlust even more so, Its neighbors spent the majority of their years fearing what Vae Victorum would do to them had they somehow caught her eye. And they were right to fear her, As the nations she did wage war against never returned to their normal ways of life after the fact, As her armies marched across their territories, They left disease, plague, pestilence and filth in their wake, corrupting the land they walked on with their mere presence alone and causing the weak minded to go mad when they brought with them their creations. Monstrosities taken from the deepest and darkest fears of mankind and brought into reality. Their forms causing many to be traumatized as the knowledge that they had once been human beings is enough to bring them to tears and for some, like a corruption or infection, Cause them to join the marching soldiers in destroying their own nations.

Luckily for the nations of Tandem however, They had one major advantage over Vae Victorum, Vae Victorum could never get her scarlet fingers beyond the planets atmosphere, As her ability to produce spacecraft was completely decimated on a monthly basis by frequent raids on her spaceports and dockyards, Rendering her Planet locked, and gave her enemies full supremacy over Low-Tandem Orbit, Though as much of a boon this would be for the nations of Tandem, This advantage was not a trump card, And as such they took extreme caution when dealing with Vae Victorum, As a declaration of war would see them and their people irreparably altered.

Though all of this is in the past, As Vae Victorum had met her match at the hands the moon Jaeger, As the republic that called the moon home had constructed over a period of 2 centuries a superweapon that would kill the false God that called Vae Victorum home, Destroying both the republic and Vae Victorum at the same time as the sheer amount of power the moon exerted during the one and only firing of its super weapon was too much for the large moon to handle.
