The Terrain empire planet of Mars
Like Alice in wonderland this dimension is hardly but wonderful in fact it is the direct opposite of what it is supposed to be in another dimension. The Terran Empire is currently the repressive interstellar government dominated by the Terrans from Earth. Which was founded in the 1950's in the height of the cold war. (Just guessing as I don't know for sure) The Empire ruled by terror, with its Imperial Starfleet acting as its iron fist. In Starfleet, officers promoted themselves by killing superiors that did not follow the rules of the Empire. Torture was a common form of interrogation.
They have attacked and conquered species.
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in the solar system it was named after a roman god. This mars is way different from the Mars in the United Federation of planets. The Terrain Empire of Mars is the Imperial ship yards, the battle domes, and a penal colony for traitors of the Empire in a form of harsh measures. To ensure their loyalty to the empire, for weeks now the empire has been under constant attack by someone called The-one-Free-Man. A price had been put on his head in the lead to his capture or death.
It all stated with a minor incident in Gordon Freeman in learning about this dimension. The emperor's daughter who is about in her 20's tried to get to know Gordon, but what she was really trying to do is kill him and take his suit for himself. With the armor he has in his procession it could make the empire more powerful. That plan failed when Gordon secretly sabotaged her phaser pistol and it exploded killing her in the process.
That incident alone infuriated the empire!
So Gordon Freeman was a rebel and secret launched attacks to make sure to keep the empire off balance. However he heard rumors of technology uncovered on Mars near Olympus volcano. An old Combine Citadel in which the Terran Empire had discovered it comes with portal technology that can take them to other dimensions to conquer.
However they needed to repair the Citadel; however with their level of technology they had finally done it. Down below the Citadel the Emperor is addressing a large crowed of Imperial officers and can be seen on many view screens.
"Today the Terran Empire expands to other dimensions thanks to the technology we have discovered. We shall take what we want and conquer our enemies. If they stand in our way, they will die in knowing their technology preserved the future of the Empire…Long live the Empire."
"LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE" bellowed everyone.
Static
"Pardon me but your in flight movie has been canceled," said Gordon as he appeared on all view screens.
Gordon secretly infiltrated the Citadel and to its very core as he used a program to cause the reactor to melt down. It is close to reaching critical in which he knew it was time to leave and used the teleportation technology he acquired to integrate with his Mark eight suit to transport himself to a stolen Terran ship the I.S.S Dracula that had de-cloaked above the crowd of people including the Emperor himself. Gordon used the controls speed away as the dark energy in the citadel core is melting down.
"Stop him, kill him," said the Emperor "Bring me the head of-"
Then the explosion happened as everyone was vaporized. But it did not end there as the explosion expanded further and further until it engulfed the entire planet of Mars. Dozens of Imperial ships were in orbit at the time and the I.S.S Dracula flew upon by them in not knowing at first that Gordon Freeman was on board. Using the controls of the ship Gordon activated the warp drive and headed into parts unknown. As for the planet itself, the explosion broke apart the planet as it exploded into billions and trillions of pieces.
Along with everyone else that was killed, even the ships in orbit that did not survive.

Two weeks later
Tholian space
The empire was furious and desperate in which the destruction of Mars lead to the end of the empires ambitions of dimensional portal technology as a computer virus left behind by Gordon Freeman had deleted every bit of date throughout the Terran empire. He was regarded as a folk hero to many throughout the quadrant. What brought him to this area in which he heard a rumor about an advanced ship and discovered it is a ship called the U.S.S Defiant.
A constitution class ship, it wasn't easy to convince the Tholians to allow Gordon to come here. But they managed to allow him anyway. Gordon could have sworn that someone was floating in space in a suit and is stuck between two dimensions. He heard the I.S.S Enterprise had come to claim the ship for themselves; under the command of Captain Forrest and his first officer Jonathan Archer. Gordon got intelligence from the Tholians that they know he is here as well.
Gordon is now on board the U.S.S Defiant as he let the Tholians control the I.S.S Dracula for he didn't need it anymore as he planned to leave this dimension anyway. He wanted to leave before, but he decided to stop the Empire's plans and had done that with the destruction of Mars. He is in the computer core, in which he'll leave a little surprise for later and meets a Gorn named Slar.
"Misster Freeman," hissed the Gorn "Issss, an honor to meet you. What are you doing?"
"Just leaving behind a little something," said Gordon "As those idiots have taken control of the ship."
"Issss," hissed the Gorn "Anything you want me to do,"
"You can do what you like I am all done here," said Gordon "and Good luck to you."
Both of them nodded as Gordon decided to stay for a bit and see what happens next as in he used one crew quarters to lay out and let it all play out. He successfully hacked into the security systems and watched a crewmember named Tucker fix the warp drive and of course Slar was killed. Later on Gordon walked out of the crew quarters and take a stroll in the ship and his weapon is ready as he knows that Archer brought some security forces on board. In which one squad spots Gordon and fires upon him as he put up his personal shields.
"Captain Archer," said one of the security forces 'We just spotted Gordon Freeman."
"What" growled Archer "Dead or alive I want his technology, he'll pay for defying the empire. Is that clear"
"Yes sir," said the one of the security forces as they go to carry out their orders.
Jonathan Archer smiled as in his mind he thought two for the price of one. The head of Gordon Freeman and the U.S.S Defiant, this alone will make him emperor of the Terran Empire. He announced it to the crew.
Meanwhile Soval and T'Pol are plotting their plans as well with Dr. Phlox as well in which it is interrupted by Gordon Freeman.
"Oh am I missing something," said Gordon
"You," narrowed the eyes of T'pol "Many Vulcan's were on Mars, you'll pay for their deaths."
"Gee do I get a thank you," said Gordon "Or a job well done Gordon.
"Maybe we should torture you right now," said Phlox "Our peoples would love your technology."
"Well, time for me to go," said Gordon
He used his suits controls to create a small dimensional portal and disappear with him and the portal as well, leaving the rest of them very bewildered at this development.
Later
Near Earth
Hoshi Sato thinks she is on top of the world in proclaiming herself to be Empress and Travis Mayweather in thinking he will be by her side as her lover or personal guard. She just ordered on the communications frequency to have the Earth surrender or face the full wrath of the U.S.S Defiant. Overconfidence can be a person's downfall. The U.S.S Defiant started to accelerate on its own
"Empress," said the navigator "The ship is accelerating all on its own."
"What impossible," said Sato "Regain control this I command."
"I can't were speeding towards Earth," said the Navigator "Structural integrity is failing."
"Who did this, or I will have you all killed," said Sato "This I—"a voice message is heard all throughout the ship.
"If you're listening to this message, I have to inform you that this technology is not yours to have. Your Empire is no different than the Combine and oh good luck in surviving this one, because you'll need it if you survive."
"Damn you Gordon Freeman, Damn you." shouted Sato
The U.S.S Defiant speeds down towards Earth in a massive fireball in which its destination is the Terran headquarters in San Fransisco. Closer and closer the ship comes as everyone screams in terror but not Sato as she sat upon her chair she waits for the end. Then everything goes white in which a large explosion can be seen miles around as the ship slammed into headquarters killing everyone that was on the ground.
