From these stars, the New Republic will rise like a phoenix from the ashes!

Coru Secundus is a galactic region of the Cyrannus Galaxy, located to the galactic east of the Core Worlds. Though the western fringes of what would become Coru Secundus were colonised in the distant past by First Republic settlers, the vast territories located beyond the galactic core were fraught with astrographical hazards, thus hampering widespread exploration. As such, Coru Secundus was lumped together with the Unknown Regions, prior to the Great East Manifest of 03 NE, when the New Cyrannian Republic began extensive colonisation and exploration efforts in the largely unsettled territories beyond Imperial borders.

Rechristened "Coru Secundus" — Second Core in old Oenòeni — the region became one of the most prosperous in Cyrannus. Though Coru Secundus is sparsely populated by native intelligent life, the Anthori Libertus of Coruanthor established a large number of colonies such as Coruaan, Thaehos and Angrenos, while other species such as the Lacertians and the Mon Nahdar also held sway over significant portions of space, before being united under the New Republic.

The region was a hotbed of conflict during the Second Great Cyrannus War, and changed hands between the New Republic and the Empire numerous times throughout the conflict. Coru Secundus was finally secured by the Republic during Operation Liberty in 20 NE, and remained a bastion of the resurgent government in the aftermath of the Great Battle of Orbispira.

History[]

The region was initially explored and colonised by Libertus explorers from the First Republic, ultimately leading to the establishment of colonies such as Coruanthor and Coruaan. After the fall of the Old Republic, these colonies tended to remain independent nations in their own right, only joining the wider galaxy with the creation of the Republic. The Coru Secundus region was named and mapped by Cyrannian members of the Universal Trading Union soon after the formation of the New Cyrannian Republic in 03 NE to serve as the nucleus of Republic space in the Cyrannus Galaxy.

Coru Secundus made up most of the Odysseia Region, though unlike other areas of Odysseia, it is almost completely controlled by Mou'Cyran, with the edges of the region bordering the Rihanae Pact, the Icolian Assemblage and the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. When the New Cyrandia Wars broke out, the Republic secured the borders of the region against the threat of invasion.

Battle of Mou'Cyran

The Second Battle of the Mou'Cyran Remnants, during the Second Great War.

Though isolated from wider galactic history for millennia, Coru Secundus would face open warfare for the first time in centuries when the Neraida Gigamatrix launched a devastating invasion of Republic holdings in the region, cutting a swath through Coru Secundus which took many years to heal.

Though the Neraida were ultimately defeated far from the stars of Secundus, war would once again spread to the region, when the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus and the New Republic became embroiled in the Second Great Cyrannus War. Coru Secundus was a key battlefield during the opening stages of the conflict, with Republic, Cognatus and allied forces united in opposition to an overwhelming Imperial invasion led by Admiral Tharnak Adraci.

While the Coru Secundus campaign ended with a defeat for the Empire at the pivotal Battle of Coruanthor, the region, along with the rest of New Republic space, fell to Imperial authority after the Fall of the Twelve Worlds in 17 NE. Subsequently, it formed the core of the Occupied Republic—a puppet regime led by Zare'Anne under the yoke of the Empire. In 20 NE, however, the New Republic Remnant and its intergalactic allies fought against the Imperial occupation through Operation Liberty, resulting in the liberation of the region from the Occupied Republic and signalling the end of Imperial rule in Coru Secundus.

Throughout the remainder of the conflict after the Battle of Orbispira, the resurgent Republic was aided in the protection of Coru Secundus through the aid of the Singularim Pact, which secured Coruanthor against the Empire and allowed the Republic starfleet to push into Imperial-occupied territory. After the end of the war, Coru Secundus prospered under the restored jurisdiction of the Republic.

Planets[]

Caelis'caeri[]

Caelis'caeri

Caelis'orbi, the capital, floats above the planet's northern pole.

  • Affiliation: New Republic
  • Sector: Coruanthor Sector
  • Terrain: Gas Giant
  • Population: 71 billion
  • Sentient Species: Libertus (64%), Trucinex (18%), Alavar (10%), Others (7%)
  • Government: Federated Republic State (Republica Coruanthori)
  • Major Exports: Tourism
  • Major Imports: Food, technology

Caelis'caeri is a gas giant located in the Caelis System along the Republica Run, the primary hyperlane of the Republic's central territories in Coru Secundus. This prized location aided in the development of the planet as a wealthy world known for floating cities and mining complexes in the thin layer of habitable atmosphere surrounding the planet. Due to the planet's close proximity to Coruanthor, it was once a member of the Coruanthoran Principality, before both states joined the New Republic as equals in 03 NE.

The capital of the planet is Caelis'orbi, a bustling floating metropolis which orbits the planet's northern pole. The city is a key military rallying point for the Republic Navy during patrols of the Republica Run, with vast fleets of Republic vessels being a common sight from the city. The planet was represented in the New Republic Senate by Senator Nexarón Valkistair, who was later elected President of the Republic in 07 NE.

Despite its key strategic location along the Republica Run, Caelis'caeri was spared the horrors of the Second Great War, changing hands between the Republic and the Empire relatively peacefully throughout the course of the conflict.

Coruaan[]

CoruaanCity

Coruaan's capital city of Thrace.

  • Affiliation: New Republic
  • Sector: Coruaan Sector
  • Terrain: Terrestrial
  • Population: 42 billion
  • Sentient Species: Libertus (60%), Mon Nahdar (20%), Other (20%)
  • Government: Federated Republic State
  • Major Exports: Starships, military materials
  • Major Imports: Raw materials, tourism, luxury goods

Coruaan is a planet located along the Republica Run trade route in the Coru Secundus region of the Cyrannus Galaxy known for its long history in the service of the democratic governments of the galaxy, from the Old to the New Republics.

Though located outside the Cyrannian Core Worlds, Coruaan is very much a planet with strong Core-sensibilities, sharing a similar culture and opulence. A competitor to worlds such as Cyroenia and Scorpiae for the title of having Cyrannus' largest shipyard, Coruaan briefly became the second largest in the galaxy prior to the upgrades to Scorpiaen Fleetyards by the New Republic in 05 NE.

Due to its strategic importance to the New Republic, Coruaan was the site of numerous battles during the Second Great Cyrannus War, changing hands numerous times throughout the conflict. Conquered by the Empire in 15 NE, during the Coru Secundus Campaign, it was liberated by Fleet Admiral Laege Shavalera a month after the Battle of Coruanthor, though again fell under the heel of the Empire when President Zare'Anne announced the formation of the Occupied Republic. The Coruaan system was liberated once more in the Second Battle of Coruaan in Dekemurios 20 NE.

Coruanthor[]

Coruanthor

Coruanthor, widely regarded as one of the jewels of Cyrannus.

  • Affiliation: New Republic
  • Sector: Coruanthor Sector
  • Terrain: Ecumenopolis
  • Population: 10 trillion
  • Sentient Species: Libertus (75%), Other (25%)
  • Government: Federated Republic State
  • Major Exports: Starships
  • Major Imports: Tourism, raw materials, foodstuffs

Coruanthor is an ecumenopolis located in the sector of the same name in Coru Secundus, situated along the critical Republica Trade Route. The history of Coruanthor was one defined by aristocratic ruling families, a deadly criminal underworld and artistic experimentation rivalled by few other worlds in the galaxy. During the Neraida War however, much of the planet's population was killed when the Neraida Gigamatrix bombarded the planet's surface from orbit. In the subsequent years, the Republic has struggled to rebuild the planet's ruined cityscapes, though under the leadership of the sector's Praesator Vos'Rame Veerah and Senator Mirax Varos, within five years the planet had been largely restored to its former grandeur.

The planet came under heavy assault by the Empire during the Coru Secundus Campaign of the Second Great Cyrannus War. During the subsequent battle to claim the planet, which lasted much of the year, both the Empire and the Republic committed large portions of their armed forces, though the timely intervention of the Republic's allies ultimately liberated the planet.

Though smaller in size and scope than Orbispira, the planet is nevertheless the hub of the Coru Secundus region as well as the most populous planet in the rgion. Known for its gleaming towers built seamlessly with nature, Coruanthor symbolises the power and prosperity of the Republic's democratic civilisation, particularly in the face of adversary. Like Orbispira, Coruanthor is considered to to be the ultimate metropolis in Cyrannus, a world upon which an individual from any species can find a place to belong amongst the endless skyscrapers. Like the planet prior to the Neraida bombardment, the underlevels of Coruanthor remain a hub for gangs and criminal syndicates, while rebuilding efforts were largely concentrated on areas of the planet critical for governance and trade. As such, Coruanthor is a microcosm of the New Republic—simultaneously impressive and imperfect though seemingly developing along a positive arc in spite of the many difficulties it faces.

The Dimetraniorn are one of the youngest spacefaring cultures of the galaxy.

  • Homeworld: Dimetria
  • Classification: Synapsid
  • Distinctions: Back sail
  • Spacefaring: 12 BNE
  • Cultural Characteristics: Centrist · Diplomatic · Open · Idealistic
  • Notable Individuals: None

The Dimetraniorn are a species of humanoid dimetrodon who hails from the wetlands of Dimetria in Coru Secundus. Among the youngest races of Cyrannus, they ascended into space at 12 BNE, where they would make first contact with the Mon Nahdar and join the galactic community as part of the United Republic of Cyrannus. A peaceful and idealistic culture, they quickly grew to see the Republic as the rightful rulers of the galaxy.

Dimetraniorn are most noted for the sail that grows from their backs, which gets exponentially larger the older the individual is. They prize their sails deeply, and individuals with larger sails are treated with greater prestige in their culture.

The Dimetraniorn were appalled by the formation of the Galactic Empire at the end of the Great Cyrannus War, and their people strongly opposed its ideals through its existence, which led them to be subject to heavy discrimination by more patriotic Imperials. With the formation of the New Republic, the Dimetraniorn immediately flocked to it as members, aiding them in their battle against the Empire by whatever means necessary in order to bring peace back to Cyrannus.

The Kesteoren are known for their wisdom and their enormous size.

  • Homeworld: Keohoran
  • Classification: Amphibian
  • Distinctions: Giant size
  • Spacefaring: 23,000 BNE
  • Cultural Characteristics: Wise · Calm · Peaceful · Spiritual
  • Notable Individuals: None

The Kesteoren are an old race of amphibian creatures native to Keohoran, a large planet almost entirely dominated by a world-spanning ocean. Ascended into space at around 23,000 BNE, this aquatic civilization made contact with the First Republic shortly after their first arrival to the region, leading them to join their ranks as members and for them to expand to other regions of the galaxy.

The Kesteoren are noted for being among the largest sapient races of Cyrannus, with the average member of their people reaching almost six meters in height when standing upright; due to this, they often tend to live separately from other races, as most buildings are not designed to accommodate for them. Despite their huge size, however, they are also known to be a very peaceful people by nature, preferring to bask in the wisdom of their ancestors and frowning at the idea of violence, seeing it as barbaric. They are also known for their spiritual culture, and virtually all Kesteoren are worshipers of the One God.

With the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Kesteoren retreated back to their worlds, shunning the Imperial way of life as degrading and a devolution for the galactic community. When the New Republic rose into prominence, their people immediately pledged their support for it, and worked alongside them to bring back democracy to Cyrannus.

Culture and Society[]

True to its name, Coru Secundus is similar in many respects to the Core Worlds due to the Libertus being dominant in both galactic regions. However, unlike the Core which is the heart of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus, Coru Secundus is the heart of the New Cyrannian Republic, a fact that can be seen in the strong support for the democratic tradition amongst the inhabitants of the region. A centre of the arts, culture and technological development, the Coru Secundus is arguably the second most prosperous Cyrannian region, containing the key Republica trade route, which links the Republic to the Cyrannian Empire, Rambo Nation and the Allied Terran Republic, amongst others.
