The Imperial Province of Tyrus was was ruled by a Gamiron nobility headed by a Regent appointed by the Empire. While each of the noble houses of Tyrus retained their own military forces, including Flagship Battleships, the Regent in an effort to counter the power of the lords and at the behest of the Empire, maintained a modest but capable professional military. It drew it's officer corps from educated Terions from across the Empire and the foolish nobles could not see they had set up the very mechanisms of their own demise. They unwittingly expanded the professional military so that is was a capable force in it's own right. With the outbreak of war across the Empire and the assassination of the Empress, the professional force rebelled against the nobles and declare itself the Tyrus Liberation Army, it's special forces seized the nobles expensive toys and the Regent was assassinated.

In the dark days of the general war, the Gamiron population of Tyrusia was ethnically cleansed by the Terion Volunteer Army, an militia with a fanatical hatred of the 'noble' blooded Gamirons. Gamirons fled as the TVA advanced on their residential complexes, capturing blue bloods they found and executing them in impromptu people's courts.

Tyrusian culture favours stoicism, respect and social cohesion. Displays of wealth are deeply taboo and most Tyrusians have an ingrained sense of modesty. In contrast to the years before the General war, the Tyrusians enjoy universal healthcare, free education and a guarantee of work at a minimum wage, even if this is only a few hours a week, often in the Tyrus Liberation Army.

Central to the modern culture of Tyrus is the revolutionary struggle, which occupies much of the modern literature, film making and music. Tyrus refers to the General war as the 'Liberation War'
−
The archprincesses of each of the Twelve Dominions are collectively Head of State of the United Sonic Principalities. Each member nation runs its own local affairs, its own monarchy and the majority of Sonikans wouldn't have it any other way. The power of the princesses derives from their role as leaders and priestesses of the Sonikan pantheon. While their authority is sometimes moderated by other members of their royal family, each is an absolute monarch within their dominion and generally only submits to their peers in the context of the Sonic Council, itself a formalization of an older tradition stemming from the 47th century Kanycan Convention.
 
  
−
Each session of the Sonic Council lasts two years with each member hosting in turn. While there are provisions for the extraordinary case of all twelve monarchs gathered in one meeting, this has never happened since the formation of the union. Under the constitution, if even a single one of the monarchs is unable or indisposed to attend, then none do so. Hence, all meetings are conducted behind closed doors by specially appointed civilian Presidents. It is currently the 18th Session of the Sonic Council under the presidency of the Principality of Sankt. Having officially moved their royal court to the new city of Sol Ciel in the last few years, this is the first time the capital of the USP has been outside the Home Islands. Because of the delicacy of dealings between monarchs, the council is very careful in its selection of subjects for discussion, generally limiting itself to military and foreign affairs.

===The Twelve Dominions===
 
−
'''Midchis'''<br>
 
−
Midchis is the most powerful of the twelve, controlling most of the Kanycan cluster after beating all of their opponents in the Kanycan War a hundred years ago.
 
  
−
'''Karino'''<br>
+
==Government==
−
As the architects of the 47th century Kanycan Convention as well as the USP itself, Karino has developed a reputation as the peacemakers and diplomats. Their territory was reduced to a single isle during the Kanycan War upon which the great city of Ven Ciel subsequently grew.
+
The TLDR is officially a transitional military government whose hold on power is for the purposes of pursuing it's revolutionary goals. The Executive Government is known as the Tyrus Liberation Council and is made up of both the official Liberation Army and that of the Terion Volunteer Army. Once these goals have been met, power will transfer completely to the democratically elected government. The legislative body during the transitional period is the National Convention.
−
 
 
−
'''Azel'''<br>
 
−
Azel is the only dominion that originates rimward of the Robe. Their subtropical isles of Azel-Ivlis have been a breadbasket to the region for centuries. Their proportion of the total Sonikan population grew considerably over the past century and a half and as such they became the second most powerful overall.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Floria'''<br>
 
−
The Principality of Floria occupies the rimwardmost of the Home Islands besides Azel-Ivlis. Their country and people considered the most beautiful of the Twelve Dominions.

−
A mostly depopulated nation, Pucelle survives almost entirely as a proud military tradition.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Ikasa'''<br>
 
  
−
'''Meiru'''<br>
+
In practice, there are three blocs, the Liberation Army, The Terion Volunteer Army and the Black Brigades, the notorious elite units of the Liberation Army who hold considerable power.
  
−
'''Reizei'''<br>
+
==Little Blue Bugs==
−
Like Pucelle, the Reizei is a greatly reduced nation and exists almost entirely as a diaspora among the others.
 
  
−
'''Vezendy'''<br>
+
The Little Blue Bugs are the elite forces within the Tyrus Liberation Guard and wield considerable political power. Suicide squads of the Blue Bugs stormed the Palace and slaughtered the entire family of the ruling Reagent.
  
−
'''Viede'''<br>
+
==Traits==
−
The bitterly cold Viede homeland is the innermost of the orbits and now sees snow almost year round. Almost 80% of the population has emigrated to more hospitable territory.
+
'''People's War'''<br>
 +
The immediate redirection of significant resources towards the general populance of Tyrus has raised living standards considerably, in addition to the existence of the Terion Volunteer army, Tyrus has a fervent and well armed population.
  
−
==Unique Trait==
+
'''Republican Guard''' <br>
−
'''Sky Knights'''<br>
+
The military continues to be the centerpiece of Tyrus society, it is highly motivated and the majority of units are of exceptional quality.
−
Apoions are natural fliers with compact bodies and, as a result, a high average G tolerance. To take advantage of this, the Sonic Guards employs high performance aircraft in support of all military operations. By customizing aircraft and payload for individual missions, Sonikan aircraft-carrying warships and ground units operating with air cover have unparalleled operational flexibility.

===Orbs-Sonica===
 
−
'''Orbs-Sonica''' is the original motherland of the Twelve Dominions, occupying an isolated quadrant in the innermost orbit of Ardjet. '''Kanyca''' is by far the largest archipelago among the Sonikan Home Islands with approximately the landmass of all the others combined. Until about a century ago, it was divided more or less evenly between the dominions of Midchis, Karino, Vezendy, Reizei, Sankt and Pucelle. Desperation stemming from climate and economic crisis drove the cluster into the Kanycan War during which Midchis more or less defeated all its opponents. Presently, Midchis controls about 85% of the territory, Karino controls the metropolis of Ven Ciel and Vezendy controls most of the rest.

'''The Robe''' is a Tyrus-Lorenz type Claria condensation cloud that forms the natural rimward border to Orbs-Sonica. Its most notable locale is the research headquarters of '''Reizei Integrated Force Laboratories'''. The installation lies somewhere in the clouds and was instrumental in developing weaponry that ultimatedly repelled foreign incursions during the General War.

Owing to a fantastically pleasant tropical climate, the once isolated rock became a major destination for emigration from Orbs-Sonica and civilian settlement has now largely dwarfed the original military purpose. The cosmopolitan city was officially awarded to the Archprincess of Sankt, who made it her capital.

Designed a decade after the end of the General War, the ''Sword'' class dreadnoughts are the first capital ships built entirely within the Sonikan Home Islands. Initially intended to replace the motely collection of second hand vessels that made up the heavy elements of the Sonic Guards navy, both they and the Sonikan economic recovery turned out so well that the fleet eventually tripled in size. They have since been at the leading edge of the USP's outward expansion, developing a reputation for being fast and tough. Its most recognizeable feature however, is doubtless the extensive aviation facilities that occupy the aft deck.

Constructed in the shadows of much more visible dreadnought battleships, Sonikan ''Song'' class heavy cruisers were built as a cheaper alternative to more dreadnoughts on the line of battle and as a powerful, far-ranging patrol to threaten enemy shipping and defend the USP's extensive shoal and ring zones. To this end, it is fitted with powerful hadron shock cannons to give it firepower more in line with a capital ship and, of course, an aviation deck. Just how effective the resultant ship for its cost in any of its prescribed roles has not yet been tested.

History

The Imperial Province of Tyrus was was ruled by a Gamiron nobility headed by a Regent appointed by the Empire.

It drew it's officer corps from educated Terions from across the Empire and the foolish nobles could not see they had set up the very mechanisms of their own demise. They unwittingly expanded the professional military so that is was a capable force in it's own right. With the outbreak of war across the Empire and the assassination of the Empress, the professional force rebelled against the nobles and declare itself the Tyrus Liberation Army, it's special forces seized the nobles expensive toys and the Regent was assassinated.

In the dark days of the general war, the Gamiron population of Tyrusia was ethnically cleansed by the Terion Volunteer Army, an militia with a fanatical hatred of the 'noble' blooded Gamirons. Gamirons fled as the TVA advanced on their residential complexes, capturing blue bloods they found and executing them in impromptu people's courts.

In contrast to the years before the General war, the Tyrusians enjoy universal healthcare, free education and a guarantee of work at a minimum wage, even if this is only a few hours a week, often in the Tyrus Liberation Army.

Central to the modern culture of Tyrus is the revolutionary struggle, which occupies much of the modern literature, film making and music. Tyrus refers to the General war as the 'Liberation War'

The Capital of Tyrus is spread over two asteroids..


Government

The TLDR is officially a transitional military government whose hold on power is for the purposes of pursuing it's revolutionary goals. The Executive Government is known as the Tyrus Liberation Council and is made up of both the official Liberation Army and that of the Terion Volunteer Army. Once these goals have been met, power will transfer completely to the democratically elected government. The legislative body during the transitional period is the National Convention.

In practice, there are three blocs, the Liberation Army, The Terion Volunteer Army and the Black Brigades, the notorious elite units of the Liberation Army who hold considerable power.

Little Blue Bugs

The Little Blue Bugs are the elite forces within the Tyrus Liberation Guard and wield considerable political power. Suicide squads of the Blue Bugs stormed the Palace and slaughtered the entire family of the ruling Reagent.

Traits
