Planet:Cyroenia



"At Cyroenia Shipyards, we're driven to excel."


 * Tira Miszio

The planet of Cyroenia is the hub of the Republic Navy, after the destruction of the colony of Scorpia, Cyroenia became the URC's primary ship building yard. The planet itself is a temperate haven native to many strange and wonderful animals, above this idyllic world a gigantic ring-world stretches from horizon to horizon, building many ships a month.

Overview
Cyroenia is one of the oldest worlds in the Republic, having been colonized by people from Caprica, a nearby planet on the very edges of the Core Worlds. Cyroenia is similar to Caprica in many respects, it is a cosmopolitan, liberal and clean world with a large population of off worlders making their home upon it. However, the one thing that sets Cyroenia apart from Caprica is the importance to the Republic's fleets, Cyroenia produces the majority of the ships of the Republic Navy.

Still, away from the endless hours of construction, the rural areas of the planet remain quiet and peaceful.

Preunification - Early Modern Era
Cyroenia is located in the system of the same name, one of the richest systems in the universe in the Cyrannus Galaxy. It has long been a rich and notable colony in the URC and is known for its plains and forests. The planet was colonized by mainly Caprican colonists before the unification of the Twelve Colonies, and so it is culturally similar to Caprica. It has long rivaled Scorpia as the prime ship building planet in Cyrannus and competition was fierce between the two. This was of course until the Intergalactic War when Scorpia fell to the might of the Cognatus Alliance.

The planet is generally upper class and can be considered quite snobby and uptight, because of this, many poorer colonies dislike the people of Cyroenia.

During the Second Galactic War, President Inviere called for the planet to be home to the nations first megastructure, the Cyroenia Shipyards, a gigantic ring world surrounding the planet.

Republic Classic Era
Construction was put on hold during the Intergalactic War, and yet, as soon as the war ended the new president, Apollo called for construction to recommence immediately. In orbit over the planet, other ship yards surrounding the planet were built at a frightening speed, producing many hundreds of ships every week. Construction on the Ring-world was in full fling, and estimates guess that it will be completed in two months. The Cyreonia System was becoming one of the busiest in the Republic.

Attack at Cyroenia
Over the planet of Cyroenia, the shipyards were being built at a large rate, however the Imperial Alliance learned of this from its impressive arsenal of spies and bounty hunters, and decided that they would send a single destroyer to impede the efforts of the URC and the Cyrandia from building this hub of naval activity.

A single Mortalitas ship, the Avenger Class dropped out of hyperspace near the ring, and opened fire upon it, however the captain learned that it would take more then even this ships impressive fire-power to piece the rings armor. Suddenly a Kratana Class appeared and attacked the Avenger, but to no effect, the ship had impenetrable shields of it own. The captain ordered the Kratana destroyed and with a single energy blast, it was done. However, a huge URC fleet appeared causing the Avenger to retreat. This incident caused worry of a renewed Mortalitas War against the allies.

Competition with the Rowar Shipyards
The Shipyards of Rowar have been the primary shipyard for the Rambo Nation for generations, and yet with the construction of the Cyroenia shipyards, tensions between the two companies began to grow.

However, this does not mean that the relations between the URC and Rambo Nation were strained.

Completion
After several months of arduous construction, the shipyards were finally completed in record time. The entire ring was completed and soon started to churn out Star Destroyers. President Apollo, Admiral Cretacea and Admiral Shaw were all present at the ceremonies.

As the construction was such a success, Apollo ordered that many more similar shipyards enter construction all around Cyrannus, Cyroenia however will remain the most important.

Early Stages
The Confederacy decided to that the time had come to invade Cyroenia, and so they took this opportunity to deal a crippling blow to the URC's shipbuilding capabilities, giving the war a swift and decisive end in the favor of the Confederacy. Still, the planet has a gigantic fleet under the command of Fleet Admiral Neveu of the Mandator-class Dreadnought, Alliance and many other captains, such as Captain Janeaó of the Victory-class, Kathleen. This would be a difficult battle to win, and yet Confederate Fleet Command decided that it was a risk worth taking.



A large fleet of Confederate ships entered the system, under the command of the famed Mortalitas General, Zillum of the Benevolent. The fleet attacked the two sides of the planet with a decoy fleet keeping the Alliance busy, while the Benevolent and the main attack force battled the Republic Fleet under command of Captain Janeaó, however, the situation was not looking good for the Kathleen. General Zillum decided to cut off the fleets commander to the battle, Janeaó and so he unleashed the Benevolent's mighty cannons and riped a hole in the Kathleen's hull, destroying it will all hands. However, a very famous admiral was about to show himself...

The Avenger's Arrival
Fleet Admiral Cretacea, the URC's most prominent captain was sent to Cyreonia in order to aid the allied forces against General Zillum, his arch nemesis, he arrived with a fleet of five star destroyers and six escort frigates, hoping to break the blockade. General Zillum laughed at Cretacea's attempt to break his impenetrable fleet! However, Cretacea had no intention of breaking the blockade by himself....

The Avenger raised full forward shields and opened a volley of turbolaser fire at the massive Mortalitas Dreadnought, he was not going to make the same mistake the Kathleen did. However, the Benevolent was more powerful then Admiral Cretacea's flagship and open fire on its bridge, Zillum was determined to finish off Cretacea once and for all. Then all of a sudden, warp signatures were detected. Impossible! Yelled Zillum as Rambo ships engaged the Confederacy, under the command of Vice Admiral Rambas II... Cretacea's trap was sprung!

Vice Admiral Rambas II led the nearly refurbished Rambo Task Force of the Fleet of Retribution, it was now made up with several regular Rambo ships followed up by special Krakana-class Refits, a truly powerful force. However, Zillum is a very intelligent officer and as soon as he saw the Rambo Fleet he called for reinforcements from an old friend. This battle was far from over.

Confederacy Retreat
Vice-Admiral Rambas II of Rambo Nation was pleased, his timely arrival and Cretacea's plan worked, cornering the Confederacy and intercepting the Benevolent, Confederate General Zillum was soon to be captured. Within 3 hours the combined fleet of URC and Rambo ships pushed back the Confederacy and secured the massive ring around the world. Rambas and Cretacea contacted eachother, to discuss further plans when more Confederate ships arrived.

Under command of the Admiral Lizaconda onboard the Liberty II the reinforcements jumped in between Zillum and Cretacea/Rambas II forces. Taken by surprise, the USS Caprica took heavy damage and a nearby Kelvin Class was destroyed in an instance. Meanwhile the Avanger pushed through the Confederate reinforcements, to catch the Benevolent, but that seemed in vain as the Benevolent was turning around and opened fire at the Avenger herself, lightly damaging her. Rambas looked at his tactical screen and was displeased, the tide of battle was in favor of the Cyrandia forces, but now taken by surprise Lizaconda managed to turn the tide. However, the Cyrandia forces now had a stand off. Lizconda, onboard the Liberty II looked grim, Zillum had wasted his oppertunity to destroy the shipyards, instead he awaited the arrival of Cretacea and is plan failed. Lizaconda nodded towards his crew, and the Liberty II and escorting ships advanced toward the massive ring and re-opened fire. Seemingly an attack, Lizaconda used this attack to retreat from Cyroenia, the battle was lost but Lizaconda and Zillum would not give up without saying goodbye!

Advancing towards the Cyrandia fleet the USS Caprica targeted the Liberty II and the Avenger the Benevolent, the battle was intense, with both sides taking heavy casualties (the Cyrandia lost over 65% of there ships, the Confederacy only 45%) and the shipyards were damaged too. As of sudden, the Confederacy left Cyroenia and the remaining Cyrandia forces celebrated. Yet, both Cretacea and Rambas could only wondered why the Confederacy had left, perhaps conquering was not there plan and the battle was just a diversion?

Ships produced at the Shipyards
The Shipyards currently produce all these starships. While most orders at Cyrandia are from the URC, the shipyards also produce orders for the Cyrandia Alliance as a whole and Rambo Nation.
