“All we do is for the glory of Jenassio.”
- - Regent Wel
The Jenassian Regency, aslo known as the Jenassian Empire, is an expansive, militaristic regional superpower native to the Odysseia Region of the Cyrannus Galaxy. The Regency is currently led by the ambitious Regent Wel who has been responsible for much of his people's success in the years after the disaster that was the Great Cyrannus War.
For centuries, the citizens of Jenassio and it's colonies have lived in a society in which every move is watched and every action noted. The civilisation's populace is controlled by constant surveillance, the denial of the truth and propaganda. Despite these invasions of personal freedom, the population of the Regency is generally considered to be well-off by their interstellar neighbours.
The Jenassians are very protective over their borders and will ruthlessly destroy any unauthorised vessel that has entered their territory. Despite this, they are welcoming to any species that desires to live under their all-seeing government.
History
Early History
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.
The Basileus carve through Jenassian space.
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.
Great Cyrannus War
By the beginning of the 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 United Republic of Cyrannus and the 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 Cognatus Remnant and even the Basileus.
The United Republic comes into conflict with the Jenassians.
During the third year of the war however, the Basileus learned that a region filled with natural wormholes leading to the Quadrant Galaxies was located within Jenassian space. When the Basileus left the Confederacy and established the New Basileus Empire, they promptly invaded Jenassian space. With their advanced technology and powerful warships, the Basileus easily carved through Jenassian space in search of the wormholes, reducing the amount of systems under Jenassian control to 65,000. 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.
Regent Wel promoted a military upbuild.
Emerging from the Shadows
When the Great War ended and the 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.
Society and Culture
The Jenassians have long been known to have a rich, highly advanced culture in the fields of music, literature and art. Though for centuries these areas of Jenassian society have been heavily censored by the government in their attempts to control the population using propaganda. Despite popular opinion from other races, the Jenassians are generally not xenophobic. Despite this, since the Basileus invasion, they have grown distrustful of outsiders. Foreign nationals within Jenassian space are watched even closer than other citizens.
The majority of the Jenassian population are not religious, but those who are generally follow the religion of the One God, which the government often uses to its advantages.
Government
The Jenassian Regency is officially a representative democracy in which citizens vote for officials to represent them in the Senatot (Senate). However, since the early days of the Jenassian's spacefaring organisation, the Senatot has had no power whatsoever, with power being instead vested in the Regent and his/her military intelligence organisations. The Government is a harsh, but efficient body that have managed to keep the peace in Jenassian space for centuries, at least until an alien menace in the form of the Basileus invaded. Since the invasion, the government under Filoem Wel has grown in popularity for its efforts to build a strong military to defend Jenassian interests.

Filoem Wel is the current Regent of the Jenassian government, and by extension the leader of the entirety of the Jenassian race. Fileoem was born on Jenassio and is considered to be a loyal patriot and servant of the Jenassian people. Unlike the vast majority of Regents in the past, Wel is not interested in personal gain, but is still a strong supporter of the Jenassian's "police state".
Wel was a fleet commander in the Jenassian Starfleet during the Basileus Invasion of the Great Cyrannus War and grew to despise the reptilian invaders. When the Galactic Empire was formed and the Basileus pulled from Jenassian space, Wel ascended to the position of Regent and used his newfound powers to reshape the Jenassian military into a formidable fighting force. His domestic policies have also been warmly received by the populace, turning Wel into a very popular man.
Wel's first hand experience in fighting against the Bisistar has increased his distrust toward outsiders and in the years after the end of the Great War, he has ordered his fleets to immediately engage any unauthorised vessel into Jenassian space.

The Jenassians are a race of humanoids native to the Odysseia Region of the Cyrannus Galaxy. Male Jenassians stand taller than most humanoids at 2.3 metres, while females stand at approximately 2.25 metres. Biologically, the Jenassians are well-suited to the hostile environments often found on their homeworld of Jenassio, with advanced hearing, sight and a thick layer of skin that can protect the body from harsh sand storms.
The Jenassians are seen by other species as being passionate, hot-headed and temperamental and these traits can be seen many times throughout Jenassian history, such as their aggressive and ruthless tactics against the Basileus, which managed to hold off the aggressive aliens for quite some time.
The Jenassians excell in shipbuilding, with their ship designs being well-known and respected throughout the Odysseia region.
Astrography
The Jenassian homeworld of Jenassio.
Jenassian space is located mainly in the Odysseia Region of the Cyrannus Galaxy. The territory controlled by the Jenassians is roughly spherical in shape, though in recent years it has begun extending outwards in the directions of galactic south and west, due to an intimidating Icolian presence preventing expansion to the north while the outer fringes of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus is located approximately 1,200 light years to the east.
Since the ending of the Great Cyrannus War, the Jenassians have also begun to colonise systems in the distant Quadrant Galaxies, using hidden wormhole routes that were believed to have been left behind by the ancient Oikoumene. These colonies are currently still undergoing construction but the Jenassian government hopes that they will have stable populations within three standard years. However, unbeknownst to the Jenassians, the natives of the Quadrants are not very welcoming of extragalactic species inviting themselves into their territory. How relations between the powers will develop remains quite unknown.
