The first non-human race that the British encountered was vital to the war against the Goa'uld. IIET-1 would stumble upon the planet of Fenris as the British would name it. The native species were the Wulfen a race that a cruel Goa'uld had developed through abducting humans from Norway and Iceland in the early Middle Ages and combining their genetics with that of wolves. The Wulfen had been abandoned on a world with a Stargate and forgotten about. The Goa'uld in question was later killed by Ra and all records of the Wulfen was lost to the Goa'uld Empire. The Wulfen had gone wild and reverted to a tribal society that based power off strength and in some cases knowledge. Some of the more advanced tribes had developed a rudimentary version of Agriculture when the British came to the world, but the majority of the planet was still in a hunter-gather society.
When the British gated in they arrived in the area under the control of the minor tribe of Knýtlinga. The tribe was one of the few to base power off knowledge and when Tolkien stumbled across them he managed to integrate to them relatively quickly. The language he cracked quickly and soon he was explaining how the British Empire worked and what it could do for the Wulfen. The tribe was on the verge of destruction and agreed to pledge allegiance to the British Empire. The reaction of Parliament to this revelation was absolute shock but none refused to allow them to join the Empire. Thus, Tolkien led the leader of the Knýtlinga tribe to Buckingham Palace for King George V to accept the loyalties of the Wulfen of Fenris. George V was named as King of the Wulfen and the tribe of Knýtlinga offered their greatest warriors to join the Guard Divisions protecting the Royal Family. Under the command of the Prince of Wales the force would grow as more of Fenris wore allegiance to George V and soon the Wulfen Regiment would become a fixture at Buckingham Palace and Windsor. Though not all would join the Wulfen division several joined Royal Stargate command with in early 1926 IIET-1 officially adding Sigurður Steelfangs to their ranks.
Fenris was the first non-human world to join the British Empire and has long been lauded as one of the most loyal regions of the Empire. The Wulfen have been a mainstay of the propaganda of the Empire and the IBU would not be what it is today without the hunting channel. Putting aside their many cultural impacts most notably the ending of the villainization of wolves. Their direct impact on to the military ability of Royal Stargate Command to fight against the Goa'uld was massive their claws and fangs had been artificially strengthened to the point that they could shred Jaffa armour easily. Their use as shock troops was obvious and many battles have been decided with a rising howl and then a blaze of claws and fangs. Yet all that lies in the less distant past at the time that they were found the British Empire truly realized how strange the galaxy truly was and how they should and could deal with non-human species and cultures. The Norwegian and Icelandic governments upon discovering their origins allowed them to settle freely in the less populated parts of the country. Trondheim today has the largest Wulfen population outside of the United Empire and Reykjavik would be unrecognizable without the Wulfen influence in cuisine and design.

-The Times on the 18th of September 1925
Following the end of the Russian Civil War the Empire of Japan had expanded massively with the entirety of Sakhalin under their control and the Sea of Okhotsk had fallen completely under their control. Their new American border was calm as both sides were focusing more on digesting the land that they had annexed to start advocating for territorial expansion. The Japanese began to populate the coastlines of Siberia that they had been granted with veterans and sturdy rural workers to make the new land profitable and economically viable to grow the Japanese economy. As people began to trickle north from the cities and mountains of Japan the fragile democracy of Japan was firmly entrenched. The government managed to firmly establish their control over the military with the creation of a separate Air Force dividing the power of the military. The Land of the Rising Sun seemed to be living up to its name the economy was flourishing democracy was entrenched and the armed forces were tamed. The same could not be said in any way of their eastern neighbours of China.
The Qing dynasty had just managed to hold off the Republican forces from the north of China and Beijing was ruled over by a clique of reactionary generals with Emperor Puyi raised in the heart of the Forbidden City seeing no one but his servants and generals. The Republican forces in the south were widely seen as a failure upon the death of Sun Yat-sen the fragile unity holding them together collapsed. The independence of Mongolia, East Turkestan, and Tibet crippled their claims of making China strong and casting of the chains of foreign oppressors and a military coup in December of 1925 officially dissolved the Republic of China and it would never raise again. The south of China collapsed into warring states some secessionist, some Republican or Communist while others were fighting in the name of the Qing or in the name of establishing a new dynasty over China.
