Confederated Terran Colonial Fleet
The Confederated Terran Colonial Fleet (CTCF) is the military arm of the Human Confederacy.
Fiction
Beast Wars: Uprising
The Fleet was the successor to the Earth Defense Command, formed in 45 SCA (Stellar Cycle of the Ark) or 2029 by the Gregorian calendar. Two years later, they would violently force an armistice on the Transformers in response to the Scouring of Nebulos. Micro-Aggressions When Galvatron tested their resolve in the Great Push, the CTCF obliterated his fleet and forced the Transformers to accept the loss of half their 'allowed' space. Intersectionality
And sterilized the disbarred planets ten days after. Micro-Aggressions
Among the many technological developments utilized by the CTCF were the "Second-Born Intellects" - artificial intelligences engineered from derived Cybertronian technology. They did not identify as either male or female, but considered themselves somewhere between these two genders. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/23
The CTCF would eventually be weakened by internal divisions between the Celestials and Traditionalists, to the point where one of their ships could credibly be threatened by eight Shi-Lai vessels. The Inexorable March
A somewhat shoddy historian, writing some ten thousand years in the future, had reason to believe that the Terran Empire eventually collapsed in on itself, leading to a new dark age known as the Saeculum Obscurum. Lio Convoy: Unity Through Tyranny
Notes
- Vector Prime's narration seems to imply that the CTCF's personnel are humans, or possibly their descendants. This was confirmed by later Uprising stories: "Head Games" refers to most of humankind as having experienced the "Terran Singularity", a Transformers version of the technological singularity, and "Micro-Aggressions" would flesh it out via cybertronix.
- The CTCF may be a casual StarCraft reference.
