Fiction:Cyrannus Galaxy

"Civilisations arise and burn like grass fires on a dry prairie. Suns form, give light, decay and die. Nebulae spread new elements and seed new suns... and it all begins again. Our galaxy's long history has endured many such cycles of birth, death and rebirth. All of this has happened before and all of it will happen again. So many cycles, and we? We are simply the latest."

The Cyrannus Galaxy is a large spiral galaxy located in the of the First Gigaquadrant. Historically, the galaxy is one of the most powerful, stable and influential in the Gigaquadrant known for its prosperous and expansive civilisations and what is close to a united galactic culture. Since time immemorial, Cyrannus has been home to many powerful and mysterious civilizations, such as the ancient and the, the ancestors of the galaxy's modern political structure. Currently, the galaxy is mostly under the influence of the imperialistic and the diplomatic  though the galaxy is also home to many other large civilisations, such as the feared, the zealous , the devious  and the elusive.

Cyrannus location in the Gigaquadrant places it nearly 21 million light years from the Xonexi Cluster, while Cyrannus itself is at the nexus of the Cyrandia Cluster, exerting a large gravitational pull on several nearby galaxies, including the and the, all of which are locked in an orbit around Cyrannus. Astrometrically, Cyrannus is divided into several regions including the Core Worlds, Inner Rim, Mid Rim, Outer Rim, Coru Secundus and the largest of the six, the Unknown Regions.

Cyrannus is home to many famous planets such as, , and  while containing the exploits and adventures of famed Gigaquadrantic individuals such as Proconsul Apollo of the New Republic, Emperor  of the Empire and  of the Imperial State. These locations, empires and individuals all contribute to the galactic identity of Cyrannus and have shaped the course of both Cyrannian history, but also that of the Gigaquadrant.

Ancient Era


Cyrannus is believed to have been formed over 13 billion years ago, in a manner similar to most other galaxies. It is very large for a galaxy, at almost 170,000 light years in diameter and it exerts a huge amount of gravity on its neighbouring galaxies, such as the Quadrants, which are trapped in an orbit around Cyrannus.

The Galaxy is literally teeming with life and civilizations and is one of the most diverse galaxies in the First Gigaquadrant. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the ancient Thirteenth Tribe ruled the galaxy peacefully, with millions of colonized worlds and countless great artifacts across Cyrannus, many of which can be seen today, like the Portal on Capricaerón and the gigantic Cyrannus ringworld. However, eventually an empire came to challenge this great civilizations rule, the Great Temoin Empire. The war that ensued devastated much of the galaxy, but eventually the Temoin Empire was soundly defeated by the Thirteenth Tribe. However, strangely over 86,000 years ago the Tribe mysteriousy vanished, ascending to a higher plane of existance. It was during this time that the first Libertus civilization emerged which conquered most of the Core Worlds of Cyrannus, inventing technology that is not affected by the gravity wells of the Galactic Core. Eventually they made alliances with other races, eventually forming the Pyrínan Republic, a huge galactic government that had simularities with the much later, United Republic of Cyrannus. However, soon a great evil formed in the unknown regions. The Nagith Empire. Soon, the Empire attacked the Pyrínan Republic causing a massive galactic war, in the end however, the Nagith are defeated and retreat back to the Unknown Region to plot their revenge. However, an even greater threat was about to emerge on the recovering galaxy. The extragalactic threat known as the from the satellite galaxy of Cyranai. The initial invasion was nothing short of devastating, with the Bisisitar invasion fleet breaking into the Core Worlds and laying complete siege to the Pyrínan Capital, completely destroying it, killing two trillion citizens. However, with time, the Republic was able to recover and forced the extragalactic menace to escape to their homegalaxy, swearing revenge.

Republic Era
Before the Republic could even begin to recover however, it was again attacked by the Nagith Empire, plunging Cyrannus into a dark age by destroying both of these two superpowers. However, this set the stage for Cyrannus' more known history. Many of Cyrannus' modern empires began to emerge at this point in time, such as the Osteola, the Cavaneu and the Basileus, the latter two of which waged a terrible war that crippiled both empires. Overtime, a new organization was formed, the Capricorn Sector Alliance which introduced the galaxy to the intergalactic stage, meeting Rambo Nation, which would forever shape Cyrannian politics. However, with new allies came new wars, and the Second Galactic War was one of the largest to hit the galaxy, with many worlds falling into the hands of the Imperial Alliance from Quadrant 89. At the end of the war, the Capricorn Sector Alliance united with several other universal powers to create the United Republic of Cyrannus. Before the URC could bring peace to the galaxy however, it was invaded by the huge Cognatus Alliance, which nearly annihilated galactic civilization during the apocalyptic Intergalactic War. However, they mysteriously disappeared at the war's conclusion which ushered in a new era for the URC, an era of peace. However civil uprisings and rebellions spread across the galaxy, and a new organization, the Confederacy of Allied Systems was formed. Many feared another war would come to pass and indeed one did, the Great Cyrannus War.

As the Great Cyrannus War raged on, the Annihilation destroyed much of the universe. However, Cyrannus was left unharmed, believed to have been saved by the Thirteenth Tribe or something more. As the war dragged on, new factions came to light, such as the, the , the re-invasion of the Realm of the Bisistaran and the formation of the. The galaxies' political structure continued to unhinge.

Imperial Era
However, began in the aftermath of the Great Cyrannus War. The United Republic of Cyrannus was reorganized and the Confederacy of Allied Systems was absorbed into the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. A new era of order and Imperial rule began. One of the first acts of as emperor was the expulsion of all extragalactic empires from Cyrannus. Only two, the and the  were foolish or brave enough to stay, and were promptly eradicated, after a series of stern warnings. With extragalactic empires now dealt with, the Empire began their assault on, perhaps the Empire's greatest enemy. The battles in the conflict were disastrous on both sides, but eventually the Rambo were forced to defeat. In the second year of the Dark Times, Cyrannus once again began to open up, allowing extragalactics to colonise, as well as hosting the meetings. Meanwhile, many ancient discoveries came to light during this time, shedding new light on Cyrannus' past. In the unknown regions, a new superpower arose for the first time since the destruction of the Nagith Empire, thanks to aid from an assimilated, the various splintered Neraida factions reconnected themselves to each other, forming the.

A few months before the beginning of the third year of the Empire's existence, the began to grow in power, gaining many new allies throughout the galaxy. With a large powerbase constructed, the Confederacy began an Outer Rim War against the Empire, once again plunging the galaxy into conflict. Public opinion of the Empire reached an all-time high during this time with the citizens of the Empire regarding the Imperial Navy's activities against the Confederacy fondly. Later in the third year of the Imperial Era, the famed former president of the United Republic of Cyrannus, organised a monumental Conference involving many of the galaxy's major powers including the. The conference aimed to peacefully establish a democratic government styled after the old Republic. Thanks to the diplomatic efforts of Apollo, the was formed later that week. Settling in the Odysseia Region of the galaxy, the New Republic soon attained superpower status, while still existing in the shadow of their far more powerful Imperial neighbours.

Meanwhile, extragalactic powers such as the s and the illegally established colonies in the galaxy thanks to the discovery of natural wormholes in their native galaxies, furthering tensions between them and the natives.

Core Worlds


The Core Worlds are located at the very heart of Cyrannus and contain the galaxy's Galactic Core. In the ancient past, the capital of the empire was located on a massive construct that surrounded the Core. By the time of the however, this construct had disappeared, with any evidence of the Oikoumene's presence gone. Unlike most galaxies in the Gigaquadrant that housed a surrounding the Core, Cyrannus never contained a Grox presence. Instead, the Core Worlds have functioned as the political heart of the galaxy for millennia.

Thousands of years before the rise of the, the Core Worlds served as the nexus of the Pyrían Republic, a benevolent and peaceful union of planets that made it their mission to extend democracy through the stars. The Pyrían endured many trials and tribulations, but eventually fell alongside the in an ancient war between the two factions. In the aftermath, the Core Worlds fell disunited but eventually the Republic of founded the, an intergovernmental union that once again strove to bring the galaxy under a single government. The Federation endured for centuries, though in light of the, the President of the , reformed the Federation into the. In the ensuing decades, the Core Worlds prospered as the capital of a new Gigaquadrantic superpower, even into the chaotic civil conflict known as the. After the conflict ended after three years of fierce fighting, the Core Worlds became the bastion of a new Imperial Order.

Citizens of the Core Worlds are among the most influential and affluent individuals in the Gigaquadrant, a fact that cause many outside the Core to regard them with disdain. Notable species native to the Core Worlds include the and the.


 * Planets

Inner Rim
The Inner Rim is an old, respected region of the galaxy which contains species and planets considered to be some of the most influential in the galaxy. The Inner Rim is much larger than the Core, and yet most of it has been explored by scientists from the Core. The Inner Rim was hit incredibly hard during the invasions of the Cognatus during the and again during the infighting between the  and the  during the Great Cyrannus War. During the Dark Times, the region finally became peaceful.

The region is home to species such as the, the and the  and is regarded by the Empire as being an area where rebels loyal to the old Republic thrive. The de facto capital of the region is the Tenerensian homeworld of Carolinii, though the Rim also contains other influential worlds such, Cruandai and Puria.


 * Planets

Mid Rim
The Mid Rim is almost twice as large as the Inner Rim and contains millions of more stars and species. The region is famous for being the location of the majority of the extragalactic colonies from nations such as the and most notably,. The Rambo's capital of New Ramhall is considered by many to be the most important planet in the Mid Rim due to its influence and power over nearby systems. The region was the location of many key battles in the Great Cyrannus War, and conflict in the Rim continued into the Dark Times, which included the massive Battle of New Ramhall. The region is also home to Imperial provinces such as the.

The Mid Rim is also home to many species, such as the and the, all of which had made their mark on the galaxy's governments, including the Confederacy, the Republic and later, the Empire. Inhabitants of the Mid Rim are often more accepting of extragalactics, due to their proximity.

Outer Rim
The second largest region in the galaxy and arguably the most lawless, the Outer Rim is often viewed with fear by the citizens closer to the Core due to its frightening natives and shady organisations. The Outer Rim is generally split into two subsections, the explored region and the unexplored region. On the fringes of the explored region, influence from the Core Worlds is relatively intact, housing relatively orderly worlds such as and Carindes though as one moves further toward Cyrannus' Unknown Regions, the Rim becomes increasingly dangerous.

The Outer Rim is the most fought over region in the galaxy, being a major theatre in conflicts such as the, the , the and the "Outer Rim War" between the Galactic Empire and the. However, away from these clashes, life continues normally for the region's inhabitants, many of whom have dealings with illegal organisations such as the and the. During the opening year of the, the Outer Rim was the singular battlefront of the war between the and the Empire and its allies, the  and the. The latter two civilisations became involved in the Southern Rim Campaign in an effort to retake Basileus space for the Empire while in the Northern rim, the Mortalitas and Tiranozark raged a mighty and unceasing war against the Empire. Both attempts by the State to take the Outer Rim ultimately failed, with the Empire asserting its dominance over the region by 06 NE by launching the Retaking of the Rim campaign.

Despite the perceived lawlessness of the region, the Empire has a massive military presence in the region, spurred on by the Region's Imperial natives, most notably the. The Empire often uses worlds in the Outer Rim as target practice for their new weapon systems away from the prying eyes of natives of the Core. As well as the Basileus, other major species in the Outer Rim include the, the and the. The outer reaches of the Outer Rim are often the target of raids from the most feared civilisation in Cyrannus, the.

Coru Secundus
Coru Secundus is a galactic region of the devised by cartographers in the Imperial Era of galactic history, before which the region was known as Odysseia, a region of Unknown Space. However, in light of its extensive colonisation by the as well as some of its more historical colonies' links to planets in the Core Worlds, the region was rechristened Coru Secundus, which can be translated as the "Second Core". Though the region is sparsely populated by native intelligent life, in it's past, it has been heavily colonised by from the Core, resulting in many civilised and Core-influenced planets such as the city-world of  and the famed ship-producing world of  as well as the capital of the New Republic,.


 * Planets

Unknown Regions
By far the largest region in the galaxy, the Unknown Regions are home to some of the worst terrors in the entire Gigaquadrant, including the unstoppable. Occupying a region of space made up of millions of stars, the Neraida make their position as the region's most powerful civilisation clear. Despite the Neraida presence, the region also holds an Imperial presence in its borders with the Outer Rim, which includes feared species such as the, the and the. Also native to the region is the, which is arguably the region's second most powerful native civilisation.

The Empire's attempts to imperialise the Unknown Region have been met with mixed results. While Imperial growth in the region remains marginal, the Empire has succeeded in exploring its depths, making their way as far away as the planet of Shaorá. The region wasn't documented extensively until the, when the travelled through the region in search for a way to enter the. The remnant managed to survey locations such as the ancient Oikoumene installation known as Amemoriam as well as the inner regions of Neraida space.

Neraida space makes up a great deal of the Unknown Regions and is in a constant state of growth, inexorably moving toward the galactic core. Luckily for the inhabitants of Cyrannus, Neraida space is also in a near constant state of siege from the Neraida's mortal enemies, the Bisistar Dominion, a dreaded civilisation native to the. How these conflicts will turn out has yet to be seen.

Extragalactic
Cyrannus has many nearby companion galaxies known as the Quadrants, where many famous empires like the former Imperial Alliance, which was destroyed due to an internal conflict and the brave and ancient Rambo Nation originate. It is due to this proximity that Cyrannus is often associated with the Quadrants and vice versa. Both Cyrannus and the Quadrants have many ancient structures which may link an ancient civilization together, many of these unknown structures were discovered during the devastating Intergalactic War, which damaged large parts of the galaxy. This close link made Rambo Nation, the first empire in the universe to contact the predesscor to the United Republic of Cyrannus, the Capricorn Sector Alliance. This contact grew into an alliance, and was eventually formed into the large, powerful and peaceful Cyrandia Alliance, which acted as an intergovernmental union in the galaxy. However, after the, the Cyrandia Alliance became defunct and became replaced in essence with the , which annexed much of the galaxy. The closest satellite galaxy of Cyrannus, is the small irregular galaxy of Cyranai.

The region connecting the Quadrant Galaxies to Cyrannus is known as the Space in Between and its mystery is equalled only by the Unknown Regions. Due to the massive and dangerous gravital presence around the Quadrants this area lies close to it, and only a small path leading from Cyrannus gives a safe passage to the sector where various planets are located. The most important planet in this region is the mystical world of, though the Empire also has a foothold in the region, on the planet simply known as the "Gate Planet".

Overview
"The galaxy of order."

- Historian, "Chronicles of the Gigaquadrant"

Cyrannus is considered across the Gigaquadrant as being the galaxy of order and stability based on its history of unified governments composing of many different species, all united in diversity. Throughout the galaxy's history, there is often a so-called "galactic government" in place, a term used to describe a political superpower with political and military influence that far exceeds that of its neighbours. Examples of this form of government include generally benevolent organisations such as the to the present-day incarnation, the more expansionist. These governments often rule from the Core Worlds, a region of space surrounding the galactic core. This is in contrast to many other galaxies in the Gigaquadrant, which would generally have a surrounding its Core, preventing outside colonisation. The most perilous region in Cyrannus is in fact its very edges in the so-called "Unknown Regions" where terrible secrets and dangerous aliens reign.

Though Cyrannus often has a single political hyperpower, the galaxy is increasingly being viewed as a polarised entity between the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus and the. Though the Empire's military is indeed superior in most respects to that of the Republic, in recent years the political influence of the Republic has sky-rocketed into the galaxies of the First Gigaquadrant through leadership roles in organisations such as the and the, giving it a level of political influence that exceeds that of the Empire. However, the Empire's strength lies in its power, with few civilisations willing to act contrary to Imperial interests for fears that it will share the same fate as other powers which defied the Imperial Order throughout its short history.

As once put it, "Our galaxy is vast. To say the Empire is the only power would be grossly incorrect." The status of superpower is the next level down from a hyperpower. A Cyrannian superpower can be described as a civilisation with a very strong, stable position in galactic politics, that directly and indirectly affects far-off civilisations in far-reaching ways. Past superpowers included the while a current example is the. Great powers have less influence than hyperpowers or superpowers, but are still formidable entities on Cyrannus' political stage. Currently, the most powerful of these civilisations is the feared, a theocratic organisation established to bring the word of their gods to the heretics that currently inhabit the galaxy. Despite this rather morbid threat, the Cognatus have shown willingness in the past to open up relations with other civilisations if it benefits them, especially with regard to formulating united strikes against the, the gravest threat to unity and order in the galaxy.

The tattered remains of the Old Confederacy also qualify as a great power among many political analysts, though in truth their power and ability to wage war is slowly being removed by the Empire's more powerful naval forces.

Though the majority of extragalactic civilisations such as the have established footholds in Cyrannus, these areas of space are limited to one hundred systems as per the request of some Cyrannian species that feel uncomfortable with extragalactics dictating Cyrannian affairs due to past conflicts. However, two civilisations, the and  were permitted to establish a larger range of colonies because of their popular standing with many Cyrannians. In particular, factions such as the Rambo have gained "Great Power" status due to their political influence. A common, though unconfirmed conspiracy theory exists that worlds settled by civilisations in the aftermath of the Empire's creation are sabotaged by the Imperials before colonisation begins and that with the flick of a button, the Empire can detonate these worlds to prevent an extragalactic threat from rising in their midst. However, these theories are unconfirmed.

Other extragalactics such as the and the s have also established larger territories in Cyrannus, though most have remained ignorant of their presence due to their mysterious nature.

Civilisations

Extragalactic powers are not given free reign by the native governments to expand at their leisure, indeed only civilisations abundantly friendly with either of the galaxy's foremost powers can be expected to make any significant gains in the political arena that is the Cyrannus Galaxy. Though extragalactics have grown in influence with the formation of the, there still exist some regulations that they are expected to obey lest they provoke the ire of the native powers, which in the case of the Empire often results in a campaign of military conquest, or if rumours are to be believed, the immediate hyperspatial detonation of extragalactic colony worlds. Indeed, it can be said that the vast majority of the extragalctic powers either fall within the sphere of influence of either the Republic or the Empire.

Native
The Cyrannus Galaxy is heavily populated by a multitude of different species. The vast majority of the stars in the galaxy have planets in their orbit, while 23% of these planets are considered habitable for conventional life. 0.1% of these planets eventually develop life, leaving Cyrannus with an estimated thirty million sentient species. The most dominant species in Cyrannus is the, native to the planet in the Core Worlds. Since becoming space-faring, the Libertus have spread across Cyrannus from the Core to the Unknown Regions and beyond. The Libertus have been recognised by many ancient constructs as the successors of the ancient Oikoumene empire.

It has been noticed by many extragalactics that there is a large abundance of saurian lifeforms in the Cyrannus Galaxy, including but not limited to the so-called. The reasons for this abundance is unclear, but many scientists suspect that the ancient Oikoumene seeded primordial worlds with DNA indirectly affecting evolution. As well as saurians, Cyrannus is also filled with humanoids such as the, and the Jenassians who also hold a great deal of influence in Cyrannian affairs. Cyrannus is also home to "truly alien" life, including most notably the s, a shapeshifting sapient race that have since spread across the universe.

Extragalactic
The first extragalactic species to settle in Cyrannus was the soon after  joined the. The Serindia remain the most common extragalactic species in Cyrannus and have since become involved in many native Cyrannian civilisations such as the Empire and the New Republic. The second most common extragalactic species are believed to be the, another respected species inhabiting the prosperous colonies in the galaxy. Other common extragalactic include the Regellians,, , and s.

Society and Culture
Many Cyrannian civilisations share cultural and societal similarities that can be seen from varying civilisations such as the and the. "United in diversity" is a term that applies to many Cyrannian civilisations, few of which contain only a single species. Indeed, most major space-faring Cyrannian cultures are members of a civilisation that contain a multitude of other species, with notable exceptions such as the and the.

Though many religious civilisations such as the exist in the galaxy, the vast majority of the galaxy's natives are either agnostic or atheistic viewing the "gods" of the Gigaquadrant as advanced  that can be explained through science. Despite this, worship of the "Lords of the Thirteen" and the are also very common in the galaxy, though most modern civilisations such as the Empire and the New Republic are entirely secular when it comes to religion interacting with government.

Civilisations like the Empire and the New Republic have evolved into post-scarcity societies in recent centuries primarily due to the abundance of resources the galaxy provides and the invention of quantum replicators, with currency being considered an outdated concept by most inhabiting the regions surrounding the Core. In intergalactic trade however, commodities and other valuable materials are often "bought" using a "monetary unit" known as cubits. However, as one moves further outwards less advanced civilisations and criminal cartels still rely on the economics of the past. Cyrannian arts including music and other forms of cultural sophistication are very well known in the First Gigaquadrant, with Cyrannian culture heavily influencing galaxies such as the Plazith Rim, Cyranai, the Quadrants and the. Famous examples of Cyrannian culture include music and  architecture and literature, though this is only a small taste of what the galaxy has to offer. Most modern species (with a substantial amount of exceptions) in Cyrannus are generally welcoming of other cultures, with species such as the Libertus and the being particularly famous for being so. To this end, liberal philosophies in Cyrannus are generally more common then conservative ones.

Most Cyrannians enjoy active involvement in their government, with a diplomat from the Delpha Coalition of Planets during the describing it as "the shining star of democratic civilisation with rich republics, confederacies and empires. We share a special relationship with its people that will surely last until the end of existence.".

Speech
"Kalos Mercu!"

- A salutation in Cyrannian Basic, meaning both "hello" and "goodbye".

The lingua franca of the Cyrannus Galaxy developed from early languages from the era of the Pyrian Republic many millennia ago. It is considered to be similar to "Romance" languages of Terra. Due to the status of the Libertus as the galaxy's most common and influential species, their language was soon evolved into "Cyrannian Basic". Though some more alien species, found it difficult to speak Basic due to their internal biology, Basic soon developed into the most commonly used language in Cyrannus thanks to the invention of universal translators thousands of years ago. Most species in the galaxy speak at least some level of Basic in addition to whatever native language they speak due to the widespread belief that it is in their best interest.

"Frak!"

- A commonly used expletive, deriving from Old Capricaerónn.

Other notable languages include Old Capricaerónn, a language used by early Libertus on. Old Capricaerónn is an inflecting language that is still used by many government officials, students and scholars despite being considered by many a dead language. Old Capricaerónn is often used in the naming of a new world, such as the New Republic capital known as Mou'Cyran, meaning "New Cyrannus". There has been a call from many influential figures in both the Republic and the Empire to revive Old Capricaerónn as a way of honouring the ancient heritage many Libertus share. , Potentate of the Galactic Empire has been a strong proponant of this.



Reputation
Cyrannus has a varied reputation amongst the other galaxies in the Gigaquadrant. Though universally seen as amongst the best places to live due to its informal status as the "galaxy of order", many native civilisations such as the have a less than positive reputation in galaxies such as Borealis. In the, governments such as the look up to Cyrannian civilisations, while others such as  and the  admire the orderly nature of many Cyrannian governments.

Cyrannus has a far more positive reputation in the and the, in part thanks to the historical alliance between their native peoples in the various conflicts of the past. In the, Cyrannians are honoured thanks to their aid in their Civil War, but most importantly due to the actions of during the events surrounding the. In Cyrannus, a special relationship between Cyrannians (in particular the ), the DCP and is honoured above all other extragalactic relationships.

Though Cyrannian reputation in the Quadrants was damaged by the events after the, they nonetheless remain the most popular extragalactics in the Quadrants due their shared cultural links and relatively close locations. To this end, many Quadrantians (particularly those from ) are viewed with a great deal of respect in Cyrannus.

Quotes
"We are Oikoumene, the light to which all Cyrannus should grow."

"My home galaxy is full of secrets, rights and wrongs. Who knows what the future holds for this colossal amalgamation of stars."

"Hahaha! Cyrannus shall be the crown of the Gigaquadrant soon enough."

"Mornûnenduran control was already near. I could feel it."

"The entire galaxy will kneel to the Mortalitas."

"Ah, our home galaxy. It is strong in the presence of the One."

"We have been betrayed by this galaxy..."

"When we arrived in Cyrannus, we were keen on destroying those within it. But now, it is our safe haven. We will die to protect it."

"The Cyrannus Galaxy, which is the neighbour of the Quadrants houses various impressive and powerful empires. Though also houses gentle empires and has some very beautiful planets and a great intergalactic status. From here, our close allies the Libertus hail from, and over time they formed an alliance which eventually led to the forming of the United Republic of Cyrannus. The protector of democracy and peace, a beacon of light for those who are in the dark. The discovery of ancient structures during the Intergalactic War marks the beginning of a great alliance and connection between the Quadrants and Cyrannus, leading to the forming of the Cyrandia Alliance. Though recently, the galaxy suffers devastating wars and leaves the population in despair. Nonetheless we are confident they will overcome these difficulties and bring back joy and peace back to their galaxy, something which we, Rambo Nation will help them with. Also, the Cyrannus Galaxy is highly respected by our citizens, and many take a vacation to one of the popular worlds."

Trivia
"The galaxy of peace and order..."


 * In-Universe
 * Many consider Cyrannus a fortress galaxy, nigh impenetrable from extragalactic invasion. The existence of the massive barrier around the Cyrandia Cluster prevents all forms of FTL travel to and from the galaxy with the exception of the use of natural wormholes, which can be closed at will by the native powers in the event of an invasion. For this reason, native civilisations such as the Empire jealously guard whatever wormholes they can find, with clandestine agreements with the government of the New Republic to close said wormholes in the event of an invasion. Once closed however, it is believed that only an can reopen a wormhole.
 * The nature of the aforementioned barrier surrounding the Cluster, and by extension Cyrannus, results in many fundamental differences between it and the galaxies of the Outer Gigaquadrant. Fundamentally, this has resulted in concepts such as being theoretically non-existent, which in turn has led to a noted downscaling in the power of  and the s from whence they came, as is often noted by Essence users upon crossing in the galaxy. Nevertheless, though Cyrannus has remained free of demonic invasion to a greater extent than the other galaxies of the Gigaquadrant, it has nonetheless fallen victim to the demonic forces of the  and the Corruptus on more than one occasion, most notably during the Cataclysm in the Neutral Zone.


 * Behind the Scenes
 * Before the introduction of the Cyrannus Galaxy in April 2010, Cyrannian's fiction was in the.
 * In reality, the Cyrannus Galaxy is known as the Pinwheel Galaxy.
 * Cyrannus was named after the star system of the same name from the original Battlestar Galactica. Oddly enough, Cyrannian regrets this, but feels that it is too ingrained in the wiki's memory to change it. (Plus he renamed his username after it.)
 * During the Cleanslate Debates of 2011, the future of Cyrannus was Cyrannian's main reason to oppose the plans to destroy all galaxies and create a single "super-galaxy".
