Planet:Orbispira

Orbispira, also known as the Queen of the Core, Galactic Capital and Republica is the capital of the United Republic of Cyrannus and the Cyrandia Alliance. Orbispira has been called the most important world in galactic history, and for good reason, the planet is home to over two/three trillion sentient beings, from all corners of the cosmos and is considered the most active poltical planet in Cyrannus, despite the fact that the senate now meets on Corunnia.

Description
Orbispira is a planet within the rich and important Core Worlds of the Cyrannus Galaxy, it is generally considered to be the most important world politically in the United Republic of Cyrannus, and although it is not the astronomical center of the galaxy, its inhabitants like to think so.

Most of Cyrannus' hyperlanes such as the Coraian Run, the Yioa Trade Route, Cyrain Trade Route and most importantly, the Perliama Run, cross paths with the Galactic Capital, giving the planet much of its wealth and significantly, its importance.

The planet of Orbispira is completely dominated by the gigantic city of Galactica, which towers miles into the atmosphere of the planet. The only place on the planet that is not covered by the sprawling metropolis is the poles, which houses most of the water the planet consumes, luckily the nearby gas planet of Orbis Prime is home to liquid water which also provides the much needed water of the planet.

The inhabitants of the planet live comfortably among the skyscrapers which tower above the natural features of the planet including the mountains.

Despite public perception, viewing Orbispira as a forest of endless towers, Orbispiri citizens have erected countless parks and artificial forests across the planet, the most important of these, called the Park of the Core Founders leads up to the senate and can often be seen as a great family destination.

Senators from the nearby senate building often come here to discuss important issues with fellow senators in the peace and queit. It is known that Apollo often meets Gianne Invia here for dates.

Early History
After the Intergalactic War, the Twelve Colonies were completely in ruins from the evil Cognatus invasion and the strike of Angazhars attack. The president decided that a new single, stronger capital should be constructed.

And so, the most ambitious construction in the history of the URC began, the gigantic city-world began to take shape. Trillions of nanomachines constructed the planets massive towers in over a year, and while these towers where vacant, trillions of beings across the universe wished to occupy them.

Orbispira was finally completed in the year 0 BTC, and it was a huge success. The federal government immediately moved from Corulus to Orbispira and a new golden age of the URC began. Now that it has been completed, Orbispira is the home and hub of the Cyrannus Galaxy.

Great Cyrannus War
Orbispira is the life and center of the Cyrannus Galaxy, and the capital of the United Republic of Cyrannus. The planet is an impenetrable fortress, surrounded by a fleet of thousands of Republic Cruisers. On the ground, thousands of troopers and walkers patrol important streets and skylanes. However, an unknown figure, probably an advanced member of the hierarchy that is the Galactic Government, allowed entry to several bounty hunters for a gruesome task... ignite a war between the Confederacy of Allied Systems and the Republic of the Cyrannus Galaxy!
 * Year One

The notorious bounty hunter, Éaltar Gauisa was sent to preform the task of bombing the Great Senate Hall, the meeting place of the Cyrannus Senate, the plan was to cause the senate to declare war on the only liable suspect, the Confederacy! Gauisa landed on Orbispira barely a mile from the Senate and met light resistance from both the locals and the troopers there. The unknown figure knew that this route to the senate is quiet and opposition with be light. Gauisa destroyed all those who got in his way and met with a spy in the city, who gave him details on which lies ahead. In order to be certain that nobody knew of the bounty hunters involvement, he killed the spy and hid his body, before nearing the Senate.

While he neared the main promenade leading to the senate, he encountered the small Senator Adoy, who defiantly stood in the bounty hunters way. Without a hesitation, Gauisa killed the small senator and the troopers and mechs that guarded him. Gauisa walked up to the senate and covertly planted the bomb, which would explode after twenty sectons. Gauisa was quickly collected by his cloaked transport and whiked into orbit, and jumped into hyperspace while below him huge sections of the city lay without power and several destroyed buildings.

Soon, the Republic found evidence of Mortalitas technology on the scene, bearing the insignia of the Confederacy, soon the senate declared war, and the two nations began preparing for the coming storm.

In the third month of the war, it was decided by the President and the senators that the House of Representatives was unnecessary and it drew money from the tax payers of the Republic. So, in accordance to the Articles of Colonization, President Apollo dissolved the House and gave its power to the senate, so that they could easily make decisions with the President's approval. The senate itself also moved to the small temperate planet of Corunnia, a more peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of the busy galactic capital.

During the first weeks of the Second Year of the Great Cyrannus War, Orbispira came under attack by a demonic horde. Luckily, with the help of Kithworto, the demons were defeated, and the damage they caused was soon repaired.
 * Year Two

During the second year of the war, Apollo was visited many times on Orbispira, but no major events apart from this happened on the planet.

On Orbispira, Apollo and his family was preparing for the huge fireworks display to symbolize the beginning of a new year, 3 ATC, hopefully bringing more happiness and propserity for the URC, compared the last few years, where war has ravaged the galaxy, leaving few untouched in some way. Still, the rest of the planet celebrated the event. Soon after, the evil entity, attempted to kill Apollo, only to be stopped by a Miluiel. Later in the year, the planet came under attack by an escaped Ryderallo Beast, which tore through numerous city blocks, destroying landmarks and killing thousands. Luckily, the Beast was stopped and brought to a remote world to live in peace. Damage from the event was extreme, but was soon mostly repaired. This caused many to begin to lose faith in the URC, as large portions of the planet were converted into military staging grounds to protect the planet from future attack.
 * Year Three

Citizens
The citizens of Orbispira are a diverse people of many different races. Generally, citizens of other colonies believe that they are a snooty, elitist people that only care about money, this may be the case with some inhabitants, but not all. The planet is home to several different beings and with every new arrival, new customs are added to Orbispira, because of this people from all corners of the galaxy can be seen walking the streets of the capital. Many sightseers and citizens of other nations also visit Orbispira regularly.

Like the majority of the Core Worlds, the majority of the citizens of Orbispira are Libertus, though it would be foolish to discount them as the planets primary lifeform. The streets are teeming with hundreds of different species of alien lifeform, both native to Cyrannus, and indeed from across the Gigaquadrant, this makes the planet a melting pot of alien cultures, and it is amoung the most popular destinations in the Gigaquadrant for tourists for this fact.

Politics
Orbispira is the most politically active planet in the Cyrannus Galaxy and the area of the planet near the Senate Retunda is literally packed full of politicians, senators and diplomats from all across the galaxy. Despite no longer hosting the Senate, this did little to lessen the influence the planet has on Gigaquadrantic politics, in fact with every year, more and more diplomats and senators make Orbispira their home.

Orbispira is very well known across the First Gigaquadrant, and in recent years has seen a huge influx of refugees from many war ravaged areas from across the universe, especially the Kraw Galaxy in the aftermath of the Asgord Genocide. These refugees are often threated well by the other citizens of the planet.

Military
The URC holds its strongest military presence on Orbispira, with millions of soliders protecting it against any outside harm. The main center of attention is the Orbisprian capital city (and only city) of Galactica, especially near Republica, the Presidential Palace and the main business areas of the city, were the most important individuals such as senators and representatives are often found. Towering Panther Class Mechs and the highly trained Republic Troopers regularly patrol the streets, while massive warships often can be seen in low orbit.

After the Intergalactic War, Vice Admiral Shaw was put in command of the impressive fleet around Orbispira. This fleet is made up of the URC's newest and most powerful ships and many orbital cannons are also placed both in orbit and on the ground to protect against an invasion.

"Orbispira is a great example of the URC's recent rise to power. However, the philosophy of cramming so many citizens into such small volumes even in such a large city to breath in each others breath and sweat is very alien to us, we live more widespread colonies, they are easier to control."

- DCP

"Orbispira is what we wish that Auder-2 could have been: a tranquil utopian ecumenopolis in a very stable, secure society. A model for all worlds, it should be, as it has served for us!"

- Jovar III, JPA "Orbispira is the center of the United Republic of Cyrannus and whole of the Cyrannus Galaxy. The city-planet is well known throughout the galaxy and all respect it or admire it. She is beacon of power and hope to all, and most admirable is, though young in age the planet is already so advanced and important to many, including as the capital of the Cyrandia Alliance. Well protected and welcoming all, it would be madness to siege the planet"
