Fiction:The Grand Teyan Empire

The Grand Teyan Empire is a former hyperpower native to a now-lost galaxy. Recently having appeared out of Hyperspacial travel, they have begun mass colonization efforts in the Milky Way, and Andromeda Galaxy. Like the, another nation that no longer holds loyalties to the greater empire, they originate from outside the First Gigaquadrant, their home galaxy being one of the infinite wiped from existence during the Annihilation.

Invasion
The history of The Grand Teyan Empire thus far is short. But one thing is clear. An invasion is underway. Vast fleets appeared from across the vast gulfs of empty space through Hyperspace, settling down along the fringes of the Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy. Efforts to build colonies and settle their people began immediately, along with the creation of Krasnikov tubes to connect their new claims.

Having done that, military expansions have begun, including the annexation of smaller empires. These smaller nation's have been driven from their homes and slaughtered, with increasing numbers heading towards the inner regions of Exteriors. This is most notable in the ongoing struggle of the to combat the Grand Teyan Empire's military expansions, with hostilities beginning over Mithadorn attempts to slow the Teyan expansion.

Teyan Blitz
Having come to find the Mithadorn a nuisance not worth suffering, the Grand Teyan Empire orchestrated the Teyan Blitz. Authorizing the use of super-weapons, and guerrilla tactics using overwhelming numbers, the GTE established a series of power-bases through devastating raids, jumping from Hyperspace to crush a world, only to jump back out without a trace, hopping from world to world and reducing them to rubble. Detonating a Planet-Buster on Ake in response to the loss of a planet through the use of a Gravitational Wave, the harassing Republic fleets were quickly forced to abandon the Segmentum Exterioris entirely.

Culture
The Culture of the Grand Teyan Empire is a violent culture, often portrayed in their literature, music, cinema, and art, which typically display the romanticizing of warfare, combat, and fighting for one's people. Children as young as five can be seen creating their own little wars on the playground, or otherwise play-fighting while their elders study weapon use, or create their own tales of a glorious soldier fighting in some gruesome wars for books, songs, imagery, or movies.

A sense of national pride is strong within the Empire, alongside royal loyalties, and a sense of racial superiority. It is ingrained into their society, due to being taught from an early age that the Teyan are simply better than other races. They tend to objectively justify this through false propaganda, such as being the physically strongest, or most advanced, race.

Government
Outside of the Royal Family and Empress, leading the Grand Teyan Empire in both a political sense and as a figurehead, the government of the empire is broken and fractured between several political wings and parties, each vying for the favor of their reigning monarch. Oftentimes, this political parties work against one another in a parliamentary system, with different areas of the government forming their collective cliques. The military, economic, noble, and industrial parties appear to be the largest and most influential, though oftentimes their ability to create law or govern is stripped away through their never-ending bouts of bickering.

This has led to the Empress being the reigning power in all regards, stepping into the mess that is the official houses of government only on rare occasion, and usually only to break up the most recent argument and send the MPs home.

The Royal Teyan Army
"For the Empress! For the Empire! In her name we serve! In her empire, we thrive!"

- Battlecry of The Royal Teyan Army

The Royal Teyan Army comprises the entire ground forces of Grand Teyan Empire, and is responsible for all land-based operations alongside the protection and invasion of interstellar vessels and space-based installations. The Royal Teyan Army primary tactics often involve overwhelming numbers, alongside advanced technological advantages, and basic abilities in teamwork, situational awareness and combat flexibility. This has led to a variety of weapon designs that focus on interchangeable parts, and modification, to create any weapon needed for the given to situation.

Service in The Royal Teyan Army is considered a high honor among members of imperial society, with soldiers often richly rewarded for their service with luxuries beyond that of the cut-of-the-mill civilians that often clamber for a spot in the army. Prisoners of War are often taken for interrogation, though torture is rarely employed as a method to make an enemy speak; instead, drugs are usually administered to the prisoner to relax their body and tongue.

Oftentimes, Teyan find themselves subject to the willing usage of cybernetic enhancements and genetic modifications to improve their speed and strength, oftentimes to the point a Teyan becomes a Cybernetic Juggernaut; a point where they are more machine than organic.

The Royal Teyan Navy
"In the past, these fleets blocked out the sky of countless worlds, reducing our foes to rubble. In these new lands, they shall do so again!"

- Grand Admiral Raekun

The Royal Teyan Navy serves as the The Grand Teyan Empire's space-faring military wing, carrying out defensive and offensive procedures, while transporting the Army across the stars to where they are needed most. These ships are reinforced heavily, using several layers of armor and shielding, as to prevent as much damage as possible. The Royal Teyan Navy is fitted to meet two essential requirements; speed and power. Even the most massive warships of a Teyan fleets can outpace enemy fleets when exerted to do so, and all ships can make hyperspatial jumps in almost instantaneous moments.

Additionally, each ship is fitted with multitudes of weapon systems, ranging from armadas of defensive turrets, to deadly kinetic and energy-based forward cannons used to pound enemy vessels into submission. Further weapons arrays include immense side batteries to assault any ships that attempt to evade by moving to the side, and electro-magnetic blast cannons, designed to disable enemy shielding and weapon systems by overloading them.

Violence-Class Battlecruiser= A behemoth battleship designed for the sole purpose of terrifying the enemy into submission. Twenty miles from nose to thruster, and fourteen miles at it's widest, the Violence-Class Battlecruiser is a planet-crushing vessel of extreme proportions. Expensive, overcompensating, and a logistical nightmare; the ship is rarely seen simply because it is so flawed - though when one does arrive on the battlefield, the enemy are more than certainly doomed should they be unable to evade the endless barrage of fire.

Hellfire-Class Battleship= Serving as the standard vessel, the ten-by-seven meter Hellfire Battleship is a monstrosity of weapon upon weapon upon weapon. Propelled by a series of eighty anti-matter reactors, the Hellfire Battleship outputs sheer ridiculous power into its weapons; shredding its foes in mere seconds should they be caught off-guard.

As an additional note, many of these are still being repaired for sabotages inflicted by traitorous Teyan Imperium spies.

Armageddon-Class Cruiser= Another ship built with size and power in mind, the Armageddon Cruiser is primarily a bombardment and troop-transport vessel. Filled with soldiers, tanks, and covered with hundreds of planet-facing guns; the sole purpose of an Armageddon is to glass planets, and deploy troops on the surface to clean up and execute survivors.

Crusher-Class Carrier= A standard carrier ship; holds smaller frigates and tens of thousands -though claimed to be billions- of dog-fighting craft.

Lance-Class Frigate= A humble ship in comparison to the rest of the GTE fleet; the Lance-Class Frigate is sized at about the standard size of the frigates of its victims; though come in numbers that could be considered a fleet on their own.

Foreign Policy
The foreign policy of The Grand Teyan Empire is a hostile and suspicious stance, refusing cooperation through trade, cultural exchange, or joint military works. Instead, The Grand Teyan Empire chooses to treat alien nations with indignity and disgust, often destroying intruders within their territories before the offending craft can even explain their presence.
