“I created that sub-type of Marinox thinking I was being a capable servant to the local Grox population of the Cyrandia Cluster. Except when I returned to Plazith Rim, my Grox superiors told me there was no such population... A mistake among many of my youth, I suppose.”

The Cyrannian Marinox were a mysterious subspecies of Marinox, originated from the Cyrannus Galaxy. They were among the most notable cybernetic servants of the Neraida Gigamatrix.
History[]
The Cyrannian Neraida had many spies across the First Gigaquadrant, many of whom were active for thousands of years. When they heard about the creation of the Marinox by the mad Ermitant scientist known as Errr, they were immediately interested in the creation of their own Marinox slaves. While the Neraida were not part of the Grox Empire, they had extensive knowledge on them due to having successfully assimilated their kind before, meaning they could pass for Grox if they so wished.
The Neraida sent a delegation to meet with Errr, pretending themselves to be Grox, and it did not take long for the Cyrannian Marinox to be created, larger and stronger than the mainstream variety; Errr would depart believing himself to have pleased his Grox masters, when he actually did nothing but fall for the Neraida's trickery. Within a few years, the Marinox were deployed by the billions by their Neraida masters, becoming powerful minions among the armed forces of the Cyrannian Neraida Empire.
The Cyrannian Marinox made their first true move against the Cyrannus Galaxy during the Great Cyrannus War, where they acted as troops for the Neraida against the United Republic of Cyrannus and the Confederacy of Allied Systems. They were responsible for the deaths of millions over the following years, being among the forces employed by the nefarious Neraida in their war against their foes.
As of the conclusion of the Neraida War, the Cyrannian Marinox have been driven to extinction alongside their masters.
Characteristics[]
Biology[]
The Cyrannian Marinox were among the largest versions of the Marinox ever produced, standing at nearly 3.5 meters in height and possessing a greater musculature. They were also noted for their jet black scales, which combined with their large size, made them as much of a psychological weapon as a physical one, for their mere presence was intimidating to behold.
Culture and Society[]
The Cyrannian Marinox were completely obedient to the Neraida and followed the wills of their superiors without moral question or hesitation. This made them perfect enforcers of their masters' orders, but also meant they possessed no personalities to speak of, being more machine than truly alive.
Individuals[]
“I will have my vengeance yet.”
- Name - Khuenaten
- Affiliation - Neraida Gigamatrix
- Status - Destroyed
Khuenaten was the Commander-Unit of the Cyrannian Marinox, the largest and most powerful of their kind. Notable for his campaign against the Confederacy of Allied Systems during the Great Cyrannus War, his successes led his Neraida masters to perform increasingly more drastic upgrades to his body, turning him into something unique among his kind. This also led him to develop a personality of his own, which was fueled by his intense desire to defeat the infamous Zillum in combat. He ultimately met his end by Zillum's hands during their final duel, with his Neraida masters choosing to not bring him back due to considering his individuality a flaw.
“I am the greatest of my master's servants! Behold the might of the Phaedric Order!”
- Name - Meketanor
- Affiliation - Phaedric Order
- Status - Destroyed
Meketanor was a Cyrannian Marinox drone who was taken by Tyrómairon and transformed into one of his servants, making him among the first members of the Phaedric Order. Reprogrammed into serving his new Dark Lord with a religious zeal, he was a highly dangerous warrior and infiltrator both, always eager to prove his worth while demeaning his fellow Phaedra as less capable than himself. He was notable for his rivalry with the Corruptus Vanguard Mar-Júun, which would lead to Meketanor being destroyed by him during the Second Great Cyrannus War after many years of loyal service to the Dark Lord.
