Fiction:Galactic Empire of Cyrannus(Alpha Universe)

The mighty juggernaut of order and democracy, the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus is, according to its citizens, the mightiest of civilizations in Cyrannus. Formed from the ashes of the defunct Cyrannian Federation during the Trucinex War, the Empire expanded quickly, becoming galactic hegemon almost instantly. Led by Emperor Aedanius "Apollo" Cretacea, the Empire was the brainchild of Oikoumene and Mornunendur Dark Lord Tyromairon, whose awakening by Apollo in the early days of the war set in motion the Rise of the Empire. Despite the imposing nature of many of its races, the Empire under Apollo is a largely benevolent force, not actively conquering unless attacked first, and maintaining many fundamental rights for its citizens. However, those who mistake this civilization's kindness for weakness often face the fearsome turbolasers of fleets of Star Destroyers and other formidable warships of the Imperial Navy. The Empire is currently undergoing a reconstruction effort spearheaded by Apollo to rebuild war-torn worlds in Cyrannus. At the same time, the navy is being expanded and standardized, with new designs such as the Venator-Class Star Destroyer being constructed. However, rumors of an even larger titan are on the rise. The Imperial Navy refuses to comment on these rumors.

Origins
The Empire's origins lie in the beginning of the Trucinex War. During the early days of the conflict, a lone starfighter pilot crashed on an unknown world. By chance, he stumbled upon the tomb of Tyromairon, long dissappeared leader of the Oikoumene. Sensing Apollo was the fabled heir to the Oikoumene's crown, Tyromairon began training him to lead the Galaxy on a new path of peace and prosperity. Apollo's training progressed quickly, and within months, the young pilot was ready to begin uniting the galaxy. His first mission was to contact the powerful Basileus Imperium, who sent a large fleet of newly developed Star Destroyers to aid Apollo. After several days of diplomacy and gathering, Apollo's massive fleet was ready to announce its presence to the galaxy. In a glorious attack which routed the Trucinex Fleet, Apollo's forces took Orbispira, rescued the Cyrannian Federation, and proclaimed a new Galactic Empire of Cyrannus.

The Early Empire
Over the course of several months, the newly formed Imperial Navy defeated the Trucinex in several key battles, and by the end of the year, Imperial Star Destroyers had taken Nex. While some Imperial commanders wanted to crack the planet open like an egg, Apollo instead annexed the Trucinex into the Empire. As the smoke cleared, Apollo gave a glorious speech to the people of the galaxy, promising that this empire would defend them, their rights, and their homes from invasion. Apollo also began creating a law code which would serve as the basis for modern Imperial Law. Many rights were declared and protected. The Empire also began a standardization program of its military. The many races who contributed vessels to the fleet that won the War each sent technology to the new Navy Headquarters on Cyroenia. Within weeks of the Empire's formation, new starships were being launched, with standardized doctrine and designs. Chief among these were the three new Star Destroyer designs, the massive and deadly, but slow Imperator-Class, the sleek and deadly, but lacking fighters Predator-Class, and the backbone of the Imperial Navy, the versatile Venator-Class. However, these vessels weren't the only ships in the service of the new fleet. Versatile Cruisers and Destroyers, such as the Retaliator-Class Destroyer and Vindicator-Class Light Cruiser also made appearances escorting the new Star Destroyers.

Government
The government of the Galactic Empire is officially a constitutional monarchy, though in reality, the vast majority of the power is held by the Emperor and his Admirals. The Senate, who once wielded executive power over the galaxy during the Cyrannian Federation, has lost much of its power. Nevertheless, most believe the Emperor can't rule alone, so there is a high likelihood that the old powers of the Senate may soon return. Luckily for the Imperial Citizens, Apollo tries to rule as leniently and fairly as possible. While his word is law, he rarely uses that power, instead allowing the senate to make laws, and approve them. However, most, including the emperor himself, know full well that if the Emperor wanted to, he could lead the galaxy to ruin. This fear remains strong, especially due to the young Emperor's age. Some believe he is simply not ready for the demands of being a galactic leader.

Society and Culture
The Galactic Empire is a vast conglomerate of empires and factions from across Cyrannus. As a result, it has no unifying culture as of right now. Nevertheless, culture flourishes on planets like Orbispira, Capricaeron, and Vasuband, often considered the hearts of the Empire. Despite this lack of a unifying culture, a movement dubbed the Cyrannian Renaissance is taking hold due to the new discoveries brought on by the rise of the Empire. Art, architecture, science, and logic all enjoy the support of the Emperor, who is presiding over a rising galactic culture which, while still in its infancy, is growing everyday.

Economy
The Imperial Economy, like its culture, is a conglomerate of differing systems and ideas. Nevertheless, talk in the senate of a common currency is growing. Inter-Imperial trade and commerce is common, though illegal military grade weapons are a problem Imperial authorities are continuously trying to solve.

Astrography
The Empire's territory is fragmented among numerous different regions of space, though the existence of galactic hyperlanes means travel between these disconnected regions is still safe and possible. The heartlands of Imperial Territory include the Core Worlds and Basileus Space, though other areas such as the Sublime Tyranny of Maastrichtia, the inner rim, and Ramaprica also exist.

Military
The Imperial Navy is a large fleet of warships that can project power across vast distances. The heart of the Imperial Navy are the Star Destroyers, currently represented by three different classes. These mammoth vessels are the pride and joy of the Imperial Admirals, though rumors of even more giant vessels also exist. The Navy has refused to comment on these rumors.
