Secilia Federation

The Secilia Federation is the villainous organization from RayStorm.

Story
100 years have passed since humans started space traveling and the colonization of outside planets. Earth eventually formed the Star Federation, controlling 20 colonies stretching all the way to Orion. In order to mantain control over the colonies, the Star Federation puts them all under martial law, which eventually causes the colonies to rebel against Earth. The rebel forces gather on Secilia, a man-made moon which orbits the Seraphim gas giant and the most important colony, forming the Secilia Federation.

The war between the two forces wages on, with Secilia winning important battles and dealing a crushing blow to the Star Federation forces, culminating in their dissolution and the surrendering of Earth. Only 24 hours after all of Earth's inhabitants are transferred to the colonies, the Secilia Federation announces it's plans to obliterate Earth completely, thus granting it supremacy over the colonies. It starts suppressing all revolts on the colonies and dispatches an entire fleet of starships to destroy Earth. The Barca Section, a group of scientists defected from Secilia, decides to defend Earth and develop the R-Gray fighters after reverse-engineering 13 of the Secilian ships. The R-Gray ships are then dispatched to carry out "Operation RayStorm", a desperate mission to save Earth from total annihilation.

The R-Gray fighters succesfully defeat the Secilian forces in the Earth cities of Albion D.U, Old Gaul City and Palmyra Valley before flying into orbit to intercept the Secilia Federation's 3rd Fleet. After the Hannibal flagship is crushed, they are catapulted into the carthage Base in Secilian orbit, fighting their way after the Secilian capital city of Etruria, where the entrance to the Juda Central System, which controls all the operations in Secilia, is located. Upon invading the Juda Central System, the R-Gray face off against the Spartacus, the last line of defense before the Yggdrasil supercomputer. After both Spartacus and Yggdrasil are destroyed, the R-Gray fighters flee Secilia, which is thrown off orbit and plunged into Seraphim, causing it's destruction and the deaths of it's 7 billion inhabitants.
