Fiction:Cyrannus Galaxy

The Cyrannus Galaxy (also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy or Tyranischia, to the Rambo) is a face-on spiral galaxy distanced 23 million light-years away from the Milky Way. It is almost always considered to be one of the most important galaxies in the First Gigaquadrant.

The Galaxy was famous for being the home galaxy of the and the. However, in the aftermath of the, both superpowers were replaced by a single galactic hyperpower, the.

Much of this great galaxy remains unexplored, mostly away from the heavily populated Core Worlds. These unknown regions are probably filled with unknown factions and empires.

History


Cyrannus is believed to have been formed over 13 billion years ago, in a manner similar to most other galaxies. It is very large for a galaxy, at almost 170,000 light years in diameter and it exerts a huge amount of gravity on its neighbouring galaxies, such as the Quadrants, which are trapped in an orbit around Cyrannus.

The Galaxy is literally teeming with life and civilizations and is one of the most diverse galaxies in the First Gigaquadrant. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the ancient Thirteenth Tribe ruled the galaxy peacefully, with millions of colonized worlds and countless great artifacts across Cyrannus, many of which can be seen today, like the Portal on Caprica and the gigantic Cyrannus ringworld. However, eventually an empire came to challenge this great civilizations rule, the Great Temoin Empire. The war that ensued devastated much of the galaxy, but eventually the Temoin Empire was soundly defeated by the Thirteenth Tribe. However, strangely over 86,000 years ago the Tribe mysteriousy vanished, ascending to a higher plane of existance. It was during this time that the first Libertus civilization emerged which conquered most of the Core Worlds of Cyrannus, inventing technology that is not affected by the gravity wells of the Galactic Core. Eventually they made alliances with other races, eventually forming the Pyrínan Republic, a huge galactic government that had simularities with the much later, United Republic of Cyrannus. However, soon a great evil formed in the unknown regions. The Nagith Empire. Soon, the Empire attacked the Pyrínan Republic causing a massive galactic war, in the end however, the Nagith are defeated and retreat back to the Unknown Region to plot their revenge. However, an even greater threat was about to emerge on the recovering galaxy. The extragalactic threat known as the from the satellite galaxy of Cyranai. The initial invasion was nothing short of devastating, with the Bisisitar invasion fleet breaking into the Core Worlds and laying complete siege to the Pyrínan Capital, completely destroying it, killing two trillion citizens. However, with time, the Republic was able to recover and forced the extragalactic menace to escape to their homegalaxy, swearing revenge. Before the Republic could even begin to recover however, it was again attacked by the Nagith Empire, plunging Cyrannus into a dark age by destroying both of these two superpowers. However, this set the stage for Cyrannus' more known history. Many of Cyrannus' modern empires began to emerge at this point in time, such as the Osteola, the Cavaneu and the Basileus, the latter two of which waged a terrible war that crippiled both empires. Overtime, a new organization was formed, the Capricorn Sector Alliance which introduced the galaxy to the intergalactic stage, meeting Rambo Nation, which would forever shape Cyrannian politics. However, with new allies came new wars, and the Second Galactic War was one of the largest to hit the galaxy, with many worlds falling into the hands of the Imperial Alliance from Quadrant 89. At the end of the war, the Capricorn Sector Alliance united with several other universal powers to create the United Republic of Cyrannus. Before the URC could bring peace to the galaxy however, it was invaded by the huge Cognatus Alliance, which nearly annihilated galactic civilization during the apocalyptic Intergalactic War. However, they mysteriously disappeared at the war's conclusion which ushered in a new era for the URC, an era of peace. However civil uprisings and rebellions spread across the galaxy, and a new organization, the Confederacy of Allied Systems was formed. Many feared another war would come to pass and indeed one did, the Great Cyrannus War, which rages to this day.

As the Great Cyrannus War raged on, the Annihilation destroyed much of the universe. However, Cyrannus was left unharmed, believed to have been saved by the Thirteenth Tribe. As the war dragged on, new factions came to light, such as the, the , the re-invasion of the Realm of the Bisistaran and the formation of the. The galaxies' political structure continued to unhinge.

However, began in the aftermath of the Great Cyrannus War. The United Republic of Cyrannus was reorganized and the Confederacy of Allied Systems was absorbed into the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. A new era of order and Imperial rule began.

Nearby Space
Cyrannus has many nearby companion galaxies known as the Quadrants, where many famous empires like the former Imperial Alliance, which was destroyed due to an internal conflict and the brave and ancient Rambo Nation originate. It is due to this proximity that Cyrannus is often associated with the Quadrants and vice versa. Both Cyrannus and the Quadrants have many ancient structures which may link an ancient civilization together, many of these unknown structures were discovered during the dreadful Intergalactic War, which damaged large parts of the galaxy. However, in the era of the Great Cyrannus War, the galaxy grew and became even more powerful, despite the war raging within.

This close link made Rambo Nation, the first empire in the universe to contact the predesscor to the United Republic of Cyrannus, the Capricorn Sector Alliance. This contact grew into an alliance, and was eventually formed into the large, powerful and peaceful Cyrandia Alliance, which acts as an intergovernmental union in the galaxy.

The closest satellite galaxy of Cyrannus, is the small irregular galaxy of Cyranai, which is currently being colonized by the different factions in the war.

Regions
The Core Worlds of Cyrannus are the astronomical, economic and political heart of the United Republic of Cyrannus. They have been the center of Cyrannus civilisation for several thousand years, before even the Libertus and the Grox. This is probably due to the energy that can be harvested from the Galactic Core.
 * Core Worlds

However, in more recent times of the Cyrannus Republic, the Core Worlds are the starting and ending point for the majority of the galaxies hyperspace lanes. Many important worlds such as Orbispira and Corulus are located in the Core Worlds.

Government and Politics
Cyrannus is often considered unique among the galaxies in the First Gigaquadrant in that it almost has a major galactic government, generally ruling from the Core Worlds, in the center of the galaxy. Where in other galaxies are the strongholds of the Grox, the interior of Cyrannus is a haven for life and civilization and many huge interstellar empires have arisen from it, including the, the most influential force in the galaxy.

However, many other powerful factions are commonly found across Cyrannus, such as the and the, currently involved in a massive war against the URC. This makes the galaxy very diverse, while still being linked together in a powerful way. It is often said that Cyrannus is one of the most orderly galaxies in the universe due to the many governments that call it home.

Economy
The economy of the galaxy generally revolves around the main galactic government that is currently in power, and usually even neutral governments, like the share the same currency as a galactic government like the.

The galaxy is crossed with hyperspace lanes, all leading to the Core Worlds. This routes are safest and most reliable transport routes in the galaxy and provide trade to the Outer Rim Territories. The main hyperspace routes are the Perliama Run, the Cyran Trade Route, the Coran Run and the Yioa Trade Run.

Cyrannus is often seen as the headquarters of, which was revived by the and the.

Database
The database has been complied in order to show all the empires that currently call Cyrannus home. However, because of Cyrannus' huge size, it would be impossible to put all the possible civilizations that inhabit it on one page. As such, the database will include major empires that inhabit it and it will be updated regularly.

Quotes
"We shall return Cyrannus to its democratic glory soon enough."

"Hahaha! Cyrannus shall be the crown of the Gigaquadrant soon enough."

"Apocalyptan control was already near. I could feel it."

"The entire galaxy will kneel to the Mortalitas."

"Ah, our home galaxy. It is strong in the presence of the One."

"We have been betrayed by this galaxy..."

"When we arrived in Cyrannus, we were keen on destroying those within it. But now, it is our safe haven. We will die to protect it."

"The Cyrannus Galaxy, which is the neighbour of the Quadrants houses various impressive and powerful empires. Though also houses gentle empires and has some very beautiful planets and a great intergalactic status. From here, our close allies the Libertus hail from, and over time they formed an alliance which eventually led to the forming of the United Republic of Cyrannus. The protector of democracy and peace, a beacon of light for those who are in the dark. The discovery of ancient structures during the Intergalactic War marks the beginning of a great alliance and connection between the Quadrants and Cyrannus, leading to the forming of the Cyrandia Alliance. Though recenlty, the galaxy suffers devastating wars and leaves the population in despair. None the less we are confident they will overcome these difficulties and bring back joy and peace back to their galaxy, something which we, Rambo Nation will help them with. Also, the Cyrannus Galaxy is highly respected by our citizens, and many take a vacation to one of the populair worlds."

- Empress Ramashe of Rambo Nation

"Cyrannus is a great place, though I wouldn't trade the Kraw Galaxy for anything else."

- Emperor Varkeos

Trivia

 * Cyrannus has real-life counterpart, the Pinwheel Galaxy. It was originally the Sunflower Galaxy, but Um2k9 decided against it.
 * Cyrannus is the main reason why Um2k9 is opposed to the Cleanslate, but alternatives have luckily been made.
 * Cyannus is a shared galaxy between Um2k9, OluapPlayer, Dinoman82 and MatthewMosley. Though most major decisions rest with it's founder.
