Destiny of Cyrannus

Introduction
Note: Entirely optional to read or not, just a short story for an introduction to the universe.

It is the black of night on the world of Cyrannus. The hum of the lights in the city of Hyarn is calming to all who hear it, along with the humming engines of the shuttles flying past the apartments and different buildings of the city. On the ground levels, hundreds of millions of people walk in this city, the shining beacon of the Cyrannatarian Republic. But these are not people. They are reptillian in nature, rough brown scales, piercing yellow eyes, clawed fingers (although most of the claws have been cut for civil reasons.) and four-fingered hands. Nearly eight feet tall, they look like they are from the age of the dinosaurs. Yet they walk, they talk, they communicate, read, and operate technology. The Cyrannatar is what they are called. They have lived on this planet for thousands of years. Deeper in the city, is a large, domed building, clearly standing out from the many sky-scraping buildings that make up the city. The Senate Building is what it is. Another domed building like this lies next to the Senate, the Executive Building. The Cyrannatar run a Republic here. Everything seems normal for a Cyrannatarian night. Some ships orbit in the sky, visibly. Other ships come down to the planet at the on-ground stations there for shore-leave or other reasons. There are some small satellites and a space station or two.

Peacefully, a small twinkle comes from space. It's another ship arriving in planet orbit... or is it? Many more twinkles soon follow. On the space station above, communications officers of the Cyrannatarian Navy try to contact the ships, to no avail. The ships bear the markings of the Bloodhunters, a band of mercenaries who are highly advanced in technology, and does anything for the highest bidder. Soon, the Cyrannatarian Navy appears on the scene, still trying to contact the Bloodhunter vessels. Suddenly, one of the Bloodhunter ships fires a barrage of Nexil missiles at a squadron of CN ships. The ships are hit, and the smaller ones explode immediately. The larger ships begin being covered with Nexil crystals, feeding off the energy from the vessel, and the bio matter inside. Within seconds, the ships are either destroyed or covered with Nexil. The rest of the Cyrannatarian Navy raises shields, and returns fire with their plasma beams, and gauss cannons. The large Bloodhunter ships shrug off the fire, while the smaller ones are effected a bit more, but not enough to stop them. The Bloodhunters cut through the line of ships like a hot knife through butter. They take the closest of Cyrannus' four moons, using grappling rods and other methods, and force it into a collision-course with Cyrannus. The CN fires into the moon, trying to make it stop, to no avail.

The planet is hit by large chunks of moon, along with millions of smaller bits. The great cities of the planet are leveled, with the large sky scrapers falling over, and anything and everything burning. Those who were lucky enough escaped to the underground shelters. Those who weren't burned alive or were smashed. A nuclear winter-like state ensued. The so called 'Crown Jewel of the Republic' had been destroyed. And as soon as they arrived, the Bloodhunters left. The Cyrannatar then started focusing on security, and moved their capital to the planet Aurora, their first colony. The officials that escaped in frigates started anew. Aurora soon had large cities on it too, but much smaller than Cyrannus'. There was only really one major city, the city of Aurora, capital of the planet, and the Republic. The rest of the planet was mostly jungles and marshland. The native Aurorans did not support the government, but never the less put up with it.

A few years after the movement of the capital to Aurora, a terrorist attack occured, where many suicide bombers set off nuclear devices on the planet, killing just about all living things on the planet. With all officials dead, as well as any potential successors to the Presidency, the miltary took over, and formed the Greater Empire of the New Cyrannus. They enforced a dictatorship-like regime on the people, giving little to no rights, and enforcing strict laws. They moved the capital to New Cyrannus, a former-backwater planet near the fringes of Cyrannatarian controlled space. New Cyrannus was dominated by forests, and little to no water. There were no major towns, just small colonies spread out. A forest was cleared for the foundation of a new city. The city was built quickly. The city was made mostly out of stone and metal, with imperial places being made of marble. The town never received a name. Simply called 'New Cyrannus' because of the planet name. Any attempts at making the city grow or develop more failed. It stayed as it was founded. The center of town was the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor lived.

After a long time. the GENC began to reform due to negativity towards them from other species. The Systems of United Cyrannatarians was formed. It was temporary, and largely inefficient at any of it's jobs. Their management lead to an outbreak of a certain parasite species that would continue to infect the Cyrannatar. At long last, a government run efficiently, and loved by the people was formed, the Cyrannatarian Kingdom. Everything was managed in a feudal way, with royalty bringing prestige and titles, as well as power. This government would not last long. After many years, and a major war, the Cyrannatar and the rest of the species in their galaxy lost a large amount of their navies. This lead them to reconstruct everything again. A few years after this, would come the dying breath of the CK.

The Bloodhunter fleet was spotted again. The small Royal Navy emerged from it's small area in the universe, confronting the Bloodhunters. After a short engagement, most, if not all the Royal Navy ships were disabled or destroyed, as was the majority of the Bloodhunter ships. The Kingdom then was invaded, but no land was taken, and instead the land was pillaged. The Cyrannatar devolved into small, bickering nations who cared not for eachother, but for themselves. The area was avoided, and after the fall of a major power nearby, the Numican Alliance (a cat-like species), no other nation expanded the way of the Cyrannatar, and they were quite literally left to their own corner of the star cluster. Many years later, the Cyrannatar merged again, becoming the Kingdom of the Cyrannatar. They then, after a period of slow disappearance, faded away altogether. A Corrundian (avian-like species, who were the Cyrannatar's allies to the very end). patrol went into the Cyrannatarian space to check things out, to discover no Cyrannatar, but a torn apart region of space with scars left from multiple civil wars. They also found a portal, with one small ship left on their side. It was Cyrannatarian, but it's markings and configurations were never seen before. The ship went through the portal as the Corrundians arrived, and shortly there-after, the portal exploded. The Corrundians documented this for all other nations in the cluster. The Terrans, Malsuth (Both of which are Human-like. The Terrans ARE Humans and the Malsuth look identical to them but are biologically different), the Corrundians, Trayn (A one-time ally of the Cyrannatar and fellow reptiles), remainders of the Numicans, and the other smaller races.
