Established 2007

The Tanitu Foenta Empire or TFE, is a faction that was officially established on March 15, 2007, by Joshua732. It has been around for a long time, with a undocumented history throughout the years with Garry's Mod being its current seat of unknown power, but not its first for the faction itself, rising to power in other games and being a dominating force. TFE has mainly played on spacebuild, and now focuses its efforts on sandbox, creating vehicles of the future, incorporating ACF and powerful Starfall technologies to their vehicles in a combined arms approach to warfare. The faction boasts some of the most advanced AI technologies, pioneering AI tanks and ships for use in spacebuild in resource gathering, and in sandbox for destroying opponents by supplementing manpower with AI efficiency as one organized collective mind is more powerful then the human's individuality. TFE doesn't count losing as a true loss, yet a minor setback to future victory as every battle engaged with the faction is their opportunity to simply; adapt. TFE has always welcomed the challenge of others on their server, Forever war, a neutral safe haven for all to commence long battle.

Documented History

Emergence of the Tanitu Foenta Empire and 'Warhawk'

Originally founded as a clan group for the game Warhawk, it used several strategies like combined arms to pursue their goals and fight directly in the games futuristic combat environment which was earth-like. The faction played casually and competitively, emerging as one of the older clans in the MLG era of E-sports. The group set its sights on an in-game item called the "Champion's knife", which was a skin rewarded in the touraments the game held. Ultimately, the group would not participate in this and moved on to other ventures.

Continuance to 'Starhawk'

Eventually, the faction went to play Starhawk in 2012, the successor to Warhawk; taking their journey to space, and played it for quite awhile, alternating the different games it set its presence on.

TFE's Stagnation and Revival

During 2012, TFE switched to games like Call Of Duty and the group slowly started falling apart. Joshua732 decided to revive the group by coming to a group consensus with its members in 2013. The faction then switched its sights to games like Battlefield, which put new energy into the group. Off-and-on, Joshua732 and the TFE faction would additionally play games like Halo until 2014.

TFE's First Experience at Sandbox

In early 2016, Joshua732 and TFE would start to play space engineers, which was the groups first real sandbox-like building game. It excelled and began to find its truer calling as a faction, additionally finding its love to build space technology and ships alike, but it did suffer a bit of stagnation as well during this time until...

TFE's Migration to Garry's Mod and Spacebuild

The TFE faction officially migrated to Garry's Mod in 2016-17 and set its sights on creating technology based on the games it had played previously and beyond, completely reviving the group permanently as Garry's Mod was the factions ultimate game to experience its creative output. The group set its sites mainly on spacebuild, and quickly grew a liking to creating spaceships and futuristic technologies on the game-mode it had experience delving in. The group mainly played on a locally hosted server by Joshua732, in which the group created many builds that played along with the current meta of spacebuild at the time. Later, Joshua732 created his own server for spacebuild for the group as locally hosting was unreliable. The group also focused on building with wire and ACF, marking the groups first taste into creating builds with it, manufacturing E2 and Starfall technology to dominate the battlefield. TFE would also delve into automatic technologies and AI to fight for them and to do repetitive tasks. The group saw wide success fighting others and also fighting amongst themselves for the fun of the game.

TFE's Move to Sandbox

TFE eventually moved and played on mainly sandbox, creating the 'Forever War' server, however, the faction still played from time-to-time on spacebuild. The faction would create armies of automatic or AI powered vehicles like tanks of ranging class, to ships that could respond to any situation that the faction needed. The group also has many recon, artillery, and infantry technologies, being the first to make jet-packs for its members and employing its 'Super Soldier Program', making a TFE member a force to be reckoned with when encountered.

TFE's Encounters with the ACF Meta

In 2024-25, these encounters usually fell short with many opting out of fighting the faction as many felt the AI technologies used by the faction were quote, "unfair" and "not a part" of the Meta standard, but, as a faction, this did not change the stance of the groups use of it, it only encouraged them more to, as groups could not compete with the efficiency of AI technologies versus manned ones. In 2026, the group is currently working on image recognition algorithms to replace the use of using ACF radar for its targeting, providing an even more accurate system and displaying how powerful AI can be in capable hands.

TFE's Presence Today

TFE still continues its Garry's Mod endeavors and is eager to engage in opportunity for warfare. The faction is ready to begin building again when it is necessary to express its technological might in the ACF Meta.
