Society
With a totalitarian government, their society is mainly based off of military rank and social status.

Ilegan Ranks
Ilegans, with their militaristic society, often use military ranks to display social status. In fact, their military leader is also their government leader. The Retibar is the supreme leader of all of the Ilegans. He is also the reigning ruler on New Ilega (the current Ilegan Capitol) and all of the Ilegan colonies. He is the founder of the Tannovek alliance, and is a skilled warrior trained in many martial arts. He is usually kind to his people, but heretics are dealt with swiftly and brutally, and he usually has prisoners of war executed. The current Retibar is called Totalas'tarinius. No info as of yet. Fleet Admirals are leaders of large fleets of ships. There are currently eight fleets led by Ilegan Admirals. The Current Supreme Imperial Admiral is called Emdan'sar. He leads the Tannovek main fleet, the Fleet of Vengeance. Field Generals are the leaders of large invasion garrisons, and some smaller fleets. They coordinate many of the important invasions such as the "Strikeback" (a invasion to attack a Grox planet after they capture planet Rons). The current Supreme Imperial General is called Emado'eet. He leads all of the main Tannovek Army. The Honor Guard is an elite division of Ilegans completely dedicated to guarding the high-ranking Tannovek officers. They are genetically engineered to be almost two feet taller than the average Ilegan.
 * The Retibar
 * Council
 * Fleet Admiral
 * Field General
 * Honor Guard Corps
 * Spec-Ops Regiment
 * Spec-Ops Rangers are the commanding officers for the Spec-Ops Regiment on the field when there is not a commander present. They have air-tight armor and can survive in space and underwater.
 * Spec-Ops Stealth Officers are often used to infiltrate enemy bases and destroy them. They are equipped with armor that allows them to render themselves invisible.
 * Spec-Ops Officers are regular spec-ops soldiers that specialize in martial arts and other miscellaneous things.
 * Infantry
 * Ultras are the highets ranking officers in the main infantry. They often lead small squadrons of the lower ranks into battle.
 * Majors (sometimes known as Officers) are infantry units that are not very experienced, but very well trained. Becoming a Major symbolizes a great step towards conquering worlds.
 * Minors are the main infantry unit for the Ilegan Empire. They are numerous and somewhat skilled, but display amazing discipline. Possibly even more so than the other infantry ranks.

Yoggnu Ranks
The Yoggnu Supreme Commander is leader of all of the Yoggnu. He displays immense courage, and is one of the most important and key leaders in the Tannovek, perhaps even more than the Retibar, and is by far the mosy intelligent. He primarily specializes in leading and planning ground assaults. He is commonly found, like the other leaders, on B'Aloe (Yoggnu homeworld) or on Tannovek Fortress World 01. The currnt commander calls himself "The Commander", but his name is Suth'Yarosa'Minaris.
 * The Supreme Commander
 * Spec-Ops Regiment
 * Spec-Ops Heavys are Yoggnu specializing in operating weaponry, ecspecially explosives and artillery.
 * Spec-Ops Officers are one of the few Yoggnu ranks that specialize in martial arts as well as many complex types of technology including piloting large ships and utelizing many types of artillery.
 * Infantry
 * Ultras, while being a relatively low-ranking position, are still commanding units on the battlefield when Heavys are not present. They display extreme skill and combat training.
 * Majors are often found on nearly every battlefield the Yoggnu have ever been sighted on. They are usually much more courageous than Minors, and are capable of leading groups when the ranking officers are killed.
 * Minors are by far the most common of all Tannovek units. They were key in winning many a battle, and saving B'Aloe and the Fortress World from being destroyed by the Mercuris Federation.
 * Suicide Yoggnu were the lowest ranking of all Yoggnu. Those who failed to pass training were given this rank. However, this position was abolished by The Commander (Supreme Commander Suth'Yarosa'Minaris) years ago. Since then, the Tannovek army has increased tenfold in both effectiveness and siz.

Summary
The Tannovek is an alliance of species in the Hypramedes Galaxy. The founders, the Ilegan, were once from the Milky Way. They were a peaceful and scientific species, but when they landed troops and artillery on planet Nortom during the Guardian Era, the Kkrotids viciously destroyed them in the 8-Day Ilegan War. The Survivors left the galaxy with great hate for the Kkrotids, and vowed vengeance. Soon, they met the Yoggnu-Q'vorr alliance and the three of them founded the Tannovek Alliance. Soon they met other species including the Enelarg, "Sentinels" (real name unknown), Ovlae, and Sythus species and assimilated them into their army. The Tannovek currently has three major members, five average empires, and over 200 minor members.

Religion
The Tannovek is a mostly Atheistic society, but they do believe that Bio21 is a demon god who sent the Kkrotids to torture them. This religion now fills the minds of every empire in the Alliance. The Homarrans worship the god Rothel, although they do believe that Bio21 is a demon god.
