Fiction:Cyrannian Neraida

"Fear them...fear them..."

- Unknown

The Cyrannian Grox are a type of Grox that have developed independently from the Grox Empire, and only share its name. This means that their origins are a mystery, only that they did not evolve from the Grob, like the main Grox Empire found across the entire Gigaquadrant. They are however, still relentless, emotionless cyborgs that roam the galaxy on a quest toward universal perfection.

Distant History
Thousands of years ago, the Grox attacked the species known as the Corthrinus. Corthrinus space was located quite close to the Cyrannian Grox Empire, who ruthlessly attacked the exploration fleet sent from their homeworld to scout out new species, this action sparked a war between the two factions.

The war lasted hundreds of years, with neither side coming to a definitive victory. However, it sparked a great upbuild in the Corthrinus military and its government became more and more dictatorial. However hundreds of years, the Corthrinus grew and expanded, becoming one of the most feared empires in Cyrannus.

Recent History
As the history of the Cyrannian Grox Empire is steeped in mystery, and few pieces of information can be pieced together about their origins, we will will explore the recent history of the Cyrannian Grox Empire. In 2 ATC, two Mataii vessels who were trading in the unknown regions of Cyrannus suddenly picked up an unknown hyperspace interdiction field, which deactivated their hyperdrive, leaving them stranded in normal space. The captain of one of the vessels assumed it was a Republic patrol searching for secret Confederate tradelanes, but they were mistaken. Suddenly, scanners reported a huge cube shaped ship approaching, which soon opened communications, the Grox voice told the Mataii that they were trespasing in Grox space, a crime punishable by death.

Before the Mataii had the chance to respond, the Cube fired two superlaser like weapons, destroying the two unarmed ships. In the aftermath of the slaughter, the Grox began accessing the knowledge archives of the destroyed ship's database. Upon taking in this knowledge, they decided that their time in seclusion had ended and their ultimate campaign shall begin...

Discovering a galaxy very different from what they remembed, the Grox decided to cause the most damage they could, starting in the Confederacy planet of Cianbur. Dronox and Marinox forces started to appear from a Grox Cube, using cloaking devices to remain undetected by the enemy. They marched forward, defeating the surprised CAS reinforcements. After a while, the planet was in ruins. The Grox Cube appeared and the forces entered it. Their job was done, for now.
 * Year Two of the

As they advanced through the galaxy, the Grox now had their eyes on the United Republic of Cyrannus. Invading a humble colony, they started to kidnap numerous, and after destroying the colony, started to make highly nocive experiments, turning them into the Caprigrox. As they continued to attack, however, the Grox were distracted by the Dracogonarious Empire, giving the Republic a chance to fight back.

A new year started on the galaxy, but the Grox couldn't care less for it. During the Confederacy attack on planet Masolirsra, hyperspace signatures were detected... the Cyrannian Grox had arrived at the battle, and began to attack both CAS and URC fleets with a huge number of Grox Cubes, which could survive even the most deadly attacks. In fact, only when an explosion neared the Cube's engines would it finally explode. The sheer size of the Grox invasion fleet was so great that both the URC and the CAS came to an unofficial truce trying to destroy the advancing Cubes, which cornered both the Cyrannian and Confederate fleets, finally destroying them. Ground forces were also sent, which easily outnumbered and defeated the enemies. The Grox were triumphant.
 * Year Three of the

As the Grox advanced, they eventually found a new obstacle on the, who aided the Republic in defeating them in their way to the URC planet of Temomyho. Now with three active simultaneous enemies, the Grox had to rethink their strategies. Wanting revenge, the Grox later attacked one of the Cognatus Remnant's planets. They did this to intimidate the Remnant into no longer trying to stop them. While at first not taken seriously, the Grox advanced and attacked the Remnant's capital, Planet Decatría. The size and power of the invasion forced the Remnant to glass the capital. The Grox, while damaged, were still victorious, for they caused the destruction of the Remnant's most important world.

The Grox would later be attacked by a new enemy, the Realm of the Bisistaran, who were interested in a piece of technology hidden somewhere in the Grox's space. While defending from this new threat, the largest Cube fleet ever seen in years was going toward Confederate space, preparing for a massive invasion in the near future... This invasion would be revealed to be a massive assault against the Confederate capital of Carindes. In a long, bloody and hard battle, the CAS was eventually victorious, which resulted in the total annihiltation of the Grox fleet as well as the death of Commandant Khuenaten. With the crushing defeat at the battle of Carindes, the Grox decided their campaign could no longer continue without putting their territory in danger. A Grox Cube approached Coruannia, and was quickly detected by the planet's defenses. However, the ships noticed the Cube was sending what appeared to be a truce proposal.

After much discussing, the fleet allowed the Cube to enter the planet's atmosphere. From this Cube, a Commander Dronox surprised the Senate by offering a non-aggression pact. The United Republic of Cyrannus and the Indoctrinate Collective both accepted the pact fully, while the Cognatus Remnant only accepted partially. They did this to take a breath after these defeats, as well as to now have all their forces concentrated against the Bisistar.

The Cyrannian Grox Empire had left the Great Cyrannus War.

Society
One of the key differences that sets the Cyrannian Grox apart from the Grox Meta Empire, is their ability to survive on planets that are not T-0. It is believed that they evolved beyond that barrier millions of years ago, meaning that they can now expand their influence beyond that of barren lifeless planets.

Life as a citizen in the Cyrannian Grox Empire is simple, the expansion and preservation of their grand empire through any means nessacary. They defend their borders with a great zeal and if unknown ships are caught trespassing in their territory they are instantly destroyed by patrolling Grox Cubes.

Military
The military of the Cyrannian Grox is truly vast, one of the largest in the Cyrannus Galaxy, with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Grox Cubes at their disposal. Each citizen is programmed willing to fight and die to defend their empire from whatever threat it finds itself in. The Grox also use their own armies of cybernetic warriors, including Marinox and Dronox against its foes.

Astrology
Like the main Grox Empire found across the Gigaquadrant, the Cyrannian Grox have extremely advanced technology, with superlasers, nanotechnology and huge starships being widespread across the empire. From what little information is known about this Grox empire, it is most likely a collective mind, with individuals having limited individuality and personality. However many high ranking figures do possess these qualities, which make them all the more deadly in combat.

Unlike most Grox however, the Cyrannian variety are not clustered around the Galactic Core of Cyrannus, instead being located in the Unknown Regions, where tens of thousands of empires trade stories about their unstoppable might, away from the eyes of the citizens of the interior of the galaxy. However, like their more common namesake, the Cyrannian Grox have a huge arsenal of cybernetic slaves assimilated into the service of the Grox, such as the Dronox and the Marinox, both of which appear much different from their more common equivalents.
