The Jenassian Regency was formed in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear war on the Jenassian homeworld of Jenassio. As the planet fell into an induced ice age, the planet's surviving population called for change. With many in Jenassio's fractured society blaming weak governments for their inability to stop the conflict which had ravaged their world, a single state was formed, under a Regent. In theory, the Regent would be subservient to the Jenassian equivalent of a Senate, but this was long seen as a formality, with little substance in reality. |

In the year 1250 BNE, the Jenassians officially became space-faring and spread outward from their homeworld in a desperate hunt for resources that would maintain their society, as their bombed-out homeworld could no longer support a large and healthy population. Over the next several centuries, the Jenassians continued to expand, while back on their recovering homeworld, the government was transforming their civilisation from a relatively free society to a tightly controlled one. However, this control limited the civil uprisings on outlying colony planets and so was welcomed by the majority of the population, partially due to the level of propaganda in the media. |

| − | Turning to conquest, the Jenassians attacked the peaceful {{creature|Rihanaen}}s, conquering their people. Ravaging the natural beauty of Rihanae, the Jenassians strip-mined almost thirty percent of the planet's habitable surface, displacing millions of Rihanaen. During the forty-year occupation, Jenassian death squads rounded up and murdered millions more, before a violent Rihanaen uprising successfully forced the Jenassians to abandon their foothold in the Rihanae system. In subsequent centuries, the Rihanaen used their natural intelligence and technological ingenuity to develop some of the most advanced technologies in the eastern reaches of the Cyrannus Galaxy, keeping the Jenassians at bay and even claiming three Jenassian sectors in the Four Years War in 543 BNE. |

By the [[Fiction:Great Cyrannus War/Year One|beginning]] of the {{fiction|Great Cyrannus War}}, the Jenassian Regency had colonised over 87,000 systems in the Unknown Regions of Cyrannus, becoming one of the region's superpowers. Though the {{fiction|United Republic of Cyrannus}} and the {{fiction|Confederacy of Allied Systems}} remained ignorant of the workings of their civilisation, the Jenassians had made a name for themselves, allying with species and factions such as the {{fiction|Cognatus Remnant}} and even the {{creature|Basileus}}. |

| + | When the Republic Senate heard of these Basileus war crimes, they sent a small fleet led by Captain Kimkola of the Star Destroyer ''Union'' to aid the Jenassians in the reconstruction of their civilisation. However, due to the ongoing Basileus invasion, the Jenassians became ever more hostile toward other civilisations and attacked the Republic fleet as soon as it entered Jenassian territory. Through superior numbers, the Jenassians managed to drive off the Republic fleet, severly damaging the ''Union'' in the process. |

When the Great War ended and the {{fiction|Galactic Empire of Cyrannus}} was formed, the Basileus pulled out of Jenassian territory, allowing the Jenassians to rebuild their shattered civilisation. Under the leadership of the new Regent, an ambitious man known as Wel, the Jenassian empire quickly recovered. With the galaxy reeling from the aftermath of the Rise of the Cyrannian Empire, the goings-ons in Jenassian space was ignored by other powers. Under the leadership of Regent Wel, the Jenassian military expanded exponentially while exploratory craft entered the wormholes that were sought after by the Basileus, eventually establishing seven colonies in the unknown regions of Quadrant 82 and Quadrant 89. How the natives of the Quadrant will react to this expansion has yet to be seen. |

| ⚫ | Meanwhile, back in their home territory in Cyrannus, the Jenassians began to grow curious about their new {{creature|Icolian}} neighbours, which for some reason blocked off expansion to the north. A single Jenassian ship was sent to investigate and also to ensure that the Icolians made no moves into Regency territory. Unfortunately for the crew, the cruiser accidentally collided with a mine which attracted the Icolians, who gave the Jenassians two hours to escape. Ultimately however, the Jenassian Cruiser was unable to escape and was soon destroyed by the Icolians. The few survivors of the battle escaped to inform Jenassian Command of their encounter. |

| ⚫ | Soon afterwards, the Jenassians made first contact with the {{fiction|Regellis Star Empire}} from the {{fiction|Quadrant Galaxies}}, who had illegally established a strong system of colonies near Jenassian space. Though the Jenassians distrusted their new neighbours, they agreed to a non-aggression pact. Over the course of several months, this non-aggression pact ultimately evolved into the '''Rihanae Pact''', a military alliance formed to counter the increasing threat of the {{fiction|New Cyrannian Republic}}. Soon after the Pact came into being, the Jenassians and the Regellians launched a joint attack on a Republic ship, in an act considered by many to be an act of war. |

However, as the war went on, the sheer size and military might of the Republic quickly turned the tables against the Jenassians and their Regellian allies with political commentators privately noting that Regent Wels himself was beginning to question the wisdom of the {{fiction|Rihanae Pact}} as early as the opening month of 05 NE. Nevertheless, prior to the [[Fiction:New Cyrandia Wars/Year Two/Rihanae Gambit|Sacking of Rihanae]], the alliance held strong only to fall with {{captain|Willelmus Cretacea}}'s devastating victory over the forces of the Pact over the planet Rihanae. In the immediate aftermath of the battle, the Regency officially dissolved their involvement in the alliance and signed a non-aggression pact with the Republic via subspace. As the weeks went on, relations between the Jenassians and the Regellis continued to deteriorate. |
