Timeline for the TEC
2500 -Trade Order founded by economically driven settlers becoming an industrial juggernaut.
2551- A desert colony is founded and turned out to be doing horrifying things to the population in the name of science. Shortly the colony is banished to the edge of space and is forgotten by the Trade Order to the ages of time.
3551- A Golden age of the Trade Order is founded; war became history, only small anti pirate forces to ensure the peace.
3561- With the Golden age abruptly ending the Trade Order had no defenses for what was about to face them. An alien race that has been on the run which called themselves the Vasari. Swept aside what defense that could be mounted with the thought of defeat a possibility. A last ditch effort of the Trade Order was to have the creation of the Trader Emergency Coalition known by their enemies as the TEC. With many worlds known to create materials of peace were shortly making many weapons of war to turn the tide.
10 years later into the war with the Vasari the TEC were able to stall them. Only for a new enemy to gain a foothold of TEC territory before the reserve fleets were able to hold the line. Against the enemy who we banished to the edge of space who call themselves the Advent.
5 years later a stalemate occurred and as a civilization we built vast defensive lines and utilized mighty starbases to hold the line against our foes. With all the factions realizing that we should use diplomacy to save lives. Even diplomacy failed and factions of all three civilizations brought the war to a new level with the use of Titans an unstoppable war machine.
2 years later the War with our enemies, the Advent, and the Alien menace we come to know as the Vasari. With the stalemates, the planets and systems shifting hands so quickly. The Sudden appearance of an unstable wormhole in the Gateway gives the leaders of the TEC both loyal and rebel factions a hope. They have decided to risk twelve heavy assault fleets with the latest technologies ours and the Advents shield and laser technology, with the 11 power artifacts to help end this conflict once and for all. To ensure a quick colonization effort 100 million citizens volunteer to create many colonies on the other side of the worm hole. It isn't known where this unstable wormhole will take them. But we do know that the Trade Order will rise again….
Presently in the Gateway Star system one phase jump to the newly named wormhole Pandora.
Fleet Admiral Bill Klyber of the newly formed expansion fleet looked out in the expanse of space in the systems known as "Gateway". Only to see 11 massive fleets phase jump into system. They begin take up formation with his 1st heavy assault fleet a total of 12 fleets under his command. He had the air of command, the amount of wisdom and combat gained from 10 years of heavy combat. Only to be promoted time and again in decisive victories was amazed to be in his 30s. The youngest man to gain command of Admiral and eventually Fleet Admiral, what even more surprised him was the cooperation all factions in Trader space. To give a single man 12 fleets, with an amount of firepower to annihilate a heavy built up world in either of the two fronts. Only to be sent into a newly discovered wormhole in the Gateway Star system. Still he liked the idea of having 12 fleets to ensure the safety of the millions of colonists volunteers from all over Trader Space. As a freshly minted Fleet Admiral it amazed him that he was given command of so many lives and troops. Yet he found it strange that no exploration scout ships been sent through this new worm hole called Pandora. As he was pondering over that thought, his aide entered the Admirals office. She walked to him and stood next to him. Looking at him with eyes as she saw a legend come to life.
Minutes passed buy as Klyber kept looking at his armada of ships of various classes' military and civilian form up. Suddenly his communications line buzzed, as he touched the accept call on the touch screen terminal on his desk. A captain saluted and reported in "Sir all ships and fleets are all present and accounted for Sir." Bill returned the courtesy to the captain and quickly dismissed him.
He knew it was time to hold a conference call with the other admirals under his command. "Tanya, send out the following orders to all fleet commanders to report to briefing at 1000 hours." Klyber ordered his aide. "Yes Fleet Admiral, Right away." Tanya stated. As she rushed off to do her duty, he looked over his shoulder as his aide made her way to the door and gave her a compliment "What could I do without you?" With a grin on her face she slyly remarked back "All you could do without me is run a fleet sir." With that she walked to the bridge to relay her commander's orders.
Once she left, Bill made his way to the digital conference room. As he got there two marines in front of the door saluted him and opened the door. Bill walked into the conference room and sealed it with his authorization code. He looked at the time and saw 0800 on his watch, quickly commenting the fact he need to go over the details of all fleets. As he took his seat the holographic display came to life and scanned him to ensure his identity. A synthetic voice was heard "Identity confirmed, Rank; Fleet Admiral Richard "Bill" Klyber, Commander of the expansion Armada. Awaiting voice recognition." Bill rolled his eyes annoyed that he had to confirm his identity every time he entered the conference room. Still he confirmed his authorization code "Voice recognition 87714 India Whiskey Golf Bravo Tango Papa". With receiving a confirmation the AI known to the crew as Travis dressed in his virtual officer's uniform hopped onto the holographic pedestal next to the admiral.
He looked at the Admiral and sighed "Bill, I know you're annoyed about confirming your identity every time in this conference room. But we have gone over this 3 years ago a pirate snuck on board the TDN Aura a Marza Class Dreadnaught the flagship of the 108th battle group and entered the conference room and gave the orders for the fleet to jump to a pirate stronghold telling them that they were going to end the pirate threat in the sector, Shortly after they arrived the whole battle group was hijacked by the pirate elements and used that force against us." Bill stared at Travis and calmly stated "I know Travis, it is just annoying to do this even if I leave for less than a minute. Anyways Travis, give me a spreadsheet of all 12 fleets and list of colony ships. I gotta get myself used to commanding such a large force."
Travis looked at Bill with a grin on his face saying "I was wondering when you were going to ask me that." Seconds later a list of all fleets and ships came into view, Bill was just shocked at the sheer number of units for each fleet including his own.

Bill was simply shocked at the sheer number of ships, it dawned on him that the TEC leadership was giving him the means to build his own empire. He looked at the time, 1045 hours he was just simply surprised at the time he finished going over the report. Travis looked at the list and whistled in respect of the large number "Dam, Bill you are one luck son of a gun to be given command of such a large force. Also you look like you need a cup of coffee." Travis stated. Instantaneously a cup of coffee was placed in front of Bill. Who gratefully drank it like a sailor, black with no sugar or anything. "Travis I don't know how you make this coffee so good, but yeah with 62,572 ships are under my command. That is a lot to take in not even every ship is equipped with those ancient devices which make this fleet a juggernaut in itself." Bill stating the obvious "Then again if my instincts are correct we will need every advantage we get going into a wormhole that has not been explored. Alright it is time to get this conference going." Bill expressed.
End of Chapter one
First Fan fiction story just had the spur of the moment create a story. I will be looking at other crossovers for ideas on how to merge to groups of humanity "Human Systems Alliance" of course the TEC. Also since rebellion the TEC gained the ability to take over other ships that gives me the assumption that they can have marines for ground combat as well. This gives me a new way to expand the TEC as well. Just updated from a ridiculous number to something more manageable still a large size for the TEC to colonize quickly and most of the civilian fleet will become the material to build the colonies of the TEC. Still 20 something thousand ships is good enough to ensure the TEC is a military faction that can control its own fate in the galaxy and not to take any crap from the citadel races.
Next chapter will be the fleet conference and the massive armada to the Mass effect universe.
