Fiction:Galactic Empire of Cyrannus

"A New Order has arisen."

- Emperor Antediluvian

The Galactic Empire of Cyrannus, more commonly known as the the Empire, the Cyrannian Empire or simply the CyraEmp is the galactic government of Cyrannus set up in the aftermath of the, after the reorganization of the and the absorption of the. Other absorbed factions also include the and the Great Corthrinusi Empire.

The United Republic of Cyrannus ended, after years of political instability and turmoil swallowed the galaxy in the form of the Cyrannus War, causing much of its populace to lose faith in the democratic process. The Dark Lord of the, took this to his advantage and used it to achieve his master plan, the complete control of the galaxy.

Origin ( - 0 BNE)
The earliest origins of the Empire reside only in the incomprehensible mind of Antediluvian himself. He had long desired to rule over the hearts and minds of mortals, knowing that destroying them is a waste of the power that they possess. However, he seriously began to set his plans in motion during the Golden Era of the. The rise of a new superpower, the was the perfect oppurtunity to secretly plant his way into the Galaxy's political structure.

Antediluvian organised entry to the capital planet of to various bounty hunters, most notably,  to orchestrate the beginnings of a war between the United Republic of Cyrannus and the Confederacy of Allied Systems. The genius of his plan succeeded and soon the entire galaxy was bound by the shackles of war, the largest in the galaxy's history. As the galaxy rocked back and forth due to the massive battles of the war, Antediluvian once again made his presence known, by orchestrating the Battle of Orbispira to weaken the Confederate fleet and to prepare the Republic's citizens for the coming of the greatest superpower in the galaxy's history. Indeed, by the time Antediluvian had used his charm to influence the to join his New Order, much of the galaxy desired peace. And so, using the Basileus and the promises of a great new order and future for the galaxy, the Dark Lord founded a massive fleet, which aided the URC in the final stages of the battle. The board was set for the Declaration of the Empire.

First Year (1 NE -)
Antediluvian strode into the Senate Chamber of Corunnia, and with the aid of convinced the URC Senate that the Cyrannian Republic was a failed dream, and from its ashes, the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus would rise, striking down potential Imperial enemies and ensuring the continutity of order across the galaxy. The entire galaxy responded with haste, with the people of the URC generally celebrating the beginning of a new Era, and the banishment of those who would use force to implement the old ways of the traitorous and his allies of  and the.

To this end, Antediluvian decided to arrest the former President and have him stand trial in the Senate (It's unlikely this would have occured). At the Presidential Palace, Apollo and his supporters were confronted by Imperial Troopers, only to be protected by the radient help of the. Apollo was forced to flee on a Cognatus crusier, to a rendezvous point away from the Empire's reach. However, as the Empire grew and grew, such a place seemed unlikely to exist. Antediluvian however, put Apollo to one side and decided to concentrate on perhaps an even graver threat, the, which was licking its wounds after it's disasterous defeat at. Sending, his trusted acolyte,, Antediluvian told him to destroy all the Confederate leaders with the exception of , the , and the. The former Marinox preformed efficently in this task, and the Tiranozark and the Mortalitas became some of the most important species in the Empire.

During this time, the Empire began to open relations with a selection of empires, most notably and the. The early weeks of the rise of the Empire were quiet, without major incident. Most of the militarys of both the fallen Confederacy and Republic pledged their allegiance to the new Empire, giving them a truly formidable fighting force, with new ship classes and technologies under construction across Imperial space. However, the Emperor first had a major problem that he had to get rid of, the extragalactic empires that colonized the galaxy during the reign of the Republic.

He knew that this would be easy to pass with the citizens, as most of the extragalactic colonies, with the exception of were frowned upon. However, with the outing of the Cyrandia Alliance as traitors, Cyrannians were soon calling on their immediate annexation. A small Imperial fleet under the command of Captain Pierea, captain of the Venator Class Angelic led the first stages of the Battle of New Ramhall, however his taskforce of three ships was defeated, with the Angelic forced to crash into the swamps of New Ramhall. However, the elite land forces of the Angelic were forced to regroup, becoming a fierce force indeed, succeeding in hit and run tactics against their former allies.
 * Expulsion of Extragalactics

After succeeding to capture one of the most important Rambo officers,, the Empire began to gain the upper hand, with more and more fleets of Venator Star Destroyers dropping out of hyperspace, attacking the Rambo. With the breaking of the Rambo blockade at New Ramhall the Imperials had a major breakthrough, able to launch various other campaigns against the Rambo colonies in their Cyrannus Colonial Sector. Within mere hours Rambo task forces were defeated throughout the sector, including the loss of Nexios and the Shrine of Selenyia. The only major task force was still stationed at the Quadrantia-Cyrannus wormhole, keeping the way open for retreat, however this was also soon defeated. Now, the path was set for an Imperial invasion of the Quadrants.

After the discovery of an ancient portal that linked the with the Rambo Capital, the Emperor immediately sent  and the largest Imperial Fleet ever assembled through the portal, ending up in orbit of the Rambo Capital. There, a massive battle began between the Rambo and the Empire.
 * Invasion of Rambo Nation (1 NE)

In the aftermath of the Empire's massive attack in space, many landing craft began to land all across the Rambo Capital. Huge battles began raging all across the planet, with the Empire fielding new and dangerous weapons against their sworn enemies, marching toward their eventual target.

Eventually, Zillum, and  managed to locate the leader of Rambo Nation, Empress Ramashe. Ramashe knew that the fight should not be fought now and surrendered to the Imperial Forces. Zillum brought the young Empress before a new arrival, Antediluvian who forced Ramashe to sign the so-called Nim-Glaré Concordat, the surrender of Rambo Nation to the Empire. Ramashe was greatly saddened, but had faith that the Nation would once again be liberated. However, Zillum knew that the battle with the Rambo was far from over, with most of the Rambo military preparing to fight the Empire.

Even with the majority of the galaxy under the Empire's grasp, the Emperor decided to leave the Unknown Regions relatively untouched while dealing with former Republic and Confederate rebels in the other Rims. As well as potential rebellious species. Antediluvian soon saw that the greatest threat to his rule was the so-called under the command of the,. He sent forward the fiendish in order to pursue and destroy this threat. was also sent in the pursuit of and his.
 * Internal Matters

Meanwhile, upon hearing that the were still loyal to the, Grand Mandator Tyranus sent the Dark Basileus,  to absorb the Shodrae into the Empire. After a lengthly battle, the Empire eventually succeeded. A few weeks later, Grand Mandator Tyranus organised a meeting between all current Mandators and Grand Mandators. Only one, was absent due to further strive in the, but overall the meeting went very well, with the various Mandators discussing such matters as the war with Rambo rebels, the situation in the Unknown Regions and the rebels within Cyrannus itself.

Religion
The Galactic Empire of Cyrannus generally discourages the practice of religion, using the supposed Cognatus Conspracy to support their claims that religions are generally detrimental to Imperial Loyality and rule. Of course, belief in such religions as the Lords of Thirteen (Often mixed up with the, the polerised enemies of the ruler of the Empire, Emperor Antediluvian) are of course particularily frowned upon, while beliefs in such religions like the is also discouraged but it deemed culturally acceptable.

Economy
The Empire (while often deeming a monetary system primitive and yet nessacary considering its sheer size) has a very complex economy, especially after the fall and annexation of the which brought trillions upon trillions of credits into the economy of the Empire, making it much larger than the superpowers that preceded it. As soon as it was formed, the Emperor ordered much of this economy to focus on the newly formed Imperial Army and Navy, placing special concentration on research and development meaning that many new ship classes are currently being constructed by the thousands of shipyards of the Empire, spread throughout Imperial space, the foremost amoung these being the Shipyards over.

Government and Politics
The Galactic Empire of Cyrannus is ruled with absolute power by Emperor Antediluvian, with the Imperator of the Basileus, Paedaius Tyranus as the de facto second in command and the, holding the position of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy. The Cyrannian Senate, once the main system of power in the galaxy, now has very little power compared to it during the reign of the.

Instead, systems are now grouped into sectors, which are ruled by Mandators (also known as Moff, or Governor), which are in turn grouped into twelve important oversectors of space which are ruled by Grand Mandator. For example, the oversector of the Outer Rim is under the loose command of Paedaius Tyranus. However, these Mandators are under the absolute control of the Emperor.

Astrology
The Empire's territory consists of millions upon millions of worlds, and its numbers of puppet states and protectorates vastly increasing it's size, arguably making it one of the most expansive (if not, the most expansive) civilization in the Gigaquadrant. Emperor Antediluvian is constantly striving to bring Imperial rule to the Unknown Regions of Cyrannus and indeed beyond the galactic rim, into such galaxies as Elen'Naneth, where became a protectorate, vastly increasing the Empire's size. This is often to the annoyance of extragalactic powers, fearful of the Empire's vastly growing influence in Gigaquadrantic affairs.

The capital of the Empire, like the before, is the city-world of, a massive planetwide metropolis with a population of hundreds of trillions, all living confortably in the self sufficent skyscrapers. Orbispira, however is not the only heavily populated planet in the Empire, with most of the Core Worlds reaching populations of hundreds of billions.

The entire population of the Empire would be nigh impossible to count, but estimates range from ten quadrillion to the more likely thirty five to forty quadrillion inhabitants. Most heavily populated Imperial held worlds are supplied by raw materials from the countless uninhabited planets within the Empire's reach, meaning that planets can support high populations, without falling into anarchy.

Military
The Imperial Military is responsible for carrying out military operations across Cyrannus and beyond as well as maintaining order and peace across the Empire's held worlds. A massive organisation, it contains trillions upon trillions of soldiers, fleet crew and weapons designers. The Empire's forces are by far, the most disciplined and effective military in Cyrannus' history, needed to preserve the rule of the Emperor across the Empire's vast influence.

The Imperial Military is much more of a mental power over their enemies with much of the Imperial warmachine being designed to inspire dread in even the most advanced enemies. Most of the worlds previously fiercely loyal to the ideals of democracy are now fearful of the omnipotence and omnipresence of the Empire's grand armed forces.

The Imperial military is broken into many branches such as the Legion, the Imperial Army, the Imperial Navy and Imperial Intelligence. The Legion operates alonsgside all three and is under the direct control of, they are specialist soldiers of the Imperial Army and are chosen for their intelligence, bravery and utmost loyality to Emperor Antediluvian.

However, the two main arms of the Military are the Imperial Army and the Imperial Navy. Numbering in the hundreds of trillions, the Army has the primary responsibility of operation of ground battles and operation and to maintain planetary garrisons. The Army utilizes a wide range of vehicles, weapons and is often reinforced by the Imperial Legion. It also works in conjunction with the Imperial Navy.

Imperial Navy
The Navy is under the direct control of the Emperor, its also generally under the command of a Supreme Commander, currently. Like the Republic Navy before it, the Empire generally employs fearsome and ultra-advanced wedge shaped warships known as Star Destroyers, however many other ship types of also in development.

Relationships
The Empire is very careful about which nations it wishes to open up diplomatic relations with, but these alliances are never truly strong, certainly not on the scale of the alliances made by the United Republic of Cyrannus. Still, the Empire enjoys a large sphere of influence across the Gigaquadrant and is allied with some of the universe's most powerful civilizations, such as and the.

In regard to neutral civilizations, the Empire will generally study a nation in great depth in order to ascertain whether or not the nation in question is a threat. Generally, this is not the case and the Empire may pursue a couse of ignoring the neutral Empire until it feels the need to manipulate it in some way to Imperial advantages. A step below neutral empires and those on bad terms with the Empire. Currently, these empires include the and the.

In a stark constrast to the before it, the Empire saw  as their arch rivals and enemies and the two hyperpowers were often at each other's throats in many different matters. Now, the Empire and the Rambo Nation have united under the wider Cyrannian Empire, with the Rambo serving as a protectorate. Now, the Empire and the species of the Rambo are getting used to their new relationship.
