Tyran Free State

The Tyran Free State is the most direct successor state of the Tyran Empire following the Athos Supernova of 41 AC. Its capital was uniquely set at New Tarash almost a decade into its existence. Much unlike its predecessor, the Free State has generally amicable relations with its neighbors, including the Verdan Federation. 
== History ==
After the Athos Supernova destroyed Tarash and much of the surrounding worlds, the Tyran Empire, already much diminished by the Tyran War, was thrown into disarray. This period of abject chaos ruled the former space of the Empire for several years, but the ruling council of Rigela declared themselves the successors of the destroyed Tyran Senate at Tarash. They began the process of terraforming on the outer world of Dewea, rechristening it New Tarash and starting to settle it by 59 AC. 
Looking back on the genocidal actions of their predecessors, the leaders of the newly established Tyran Free State swore a binding oath on the souls of those lost in the Athos Supernova that they would never return to such actions. This, along with those lost to said actions, is commemorated by a vast memorial on the Grief World, an icy planet orbiting in the distant Rigela System. Following this, the new Senate set to work bringing together the shattered remnants of the empire. The habitats in orbit of Smizok, Gagibah, Vernarca, Dran, and other systems sent their first representatives to the new organization in 61 AC. 
In order to protect itself from the incursions of the Falacian Dominion, the Federate of Varaltin-Zartha entered a close relationship with their erstwhile enemies, sending observer representatives to the Tyran Senate and receiving aid while still maintaining official independence. But this era of peace would come to an end with the abrupt return of Shahso's loyalist fleet, made up of seeming deserters after his death in 9 AC. In around 87 AC, his fleet, with its crew held in stasis and the ships on programmed courses into deep space before returning to their home, arrived over the shattered ruins of Tarash and began to lay waste to the remaining "oath breakers". The Tyran Senate lacked the means to help fight them on their own, and appealed to their neighbors to help fight off this new threat. 
The Enolian Coalition had become a great power since the fall of the Empire, and their military industrial complex had the necessary strength to begin to fight off this new influx of enemy ships. Indeed, their contributions led to the crucial victory in the climactic Battle of Naranyx, where the loyalist fanatic fleet was defeated by the coalition of Enolian, Tyran, and Federation ships. They still kept trying in vain to reclaim the old empire from the "oath breakers", destroying enormous amounts of civilian infrastructure in both the Tyran Free State and the breakaway nations from the Tyran War, but they would finally be destroyed in the humiliating defeat at Veltoris, where most of the loyalist fleet was destroyed or captured. 
Following this conflict, the Tyran Free State has maintained a peaceful state until the present day, which has allowed them to continue to rebuild from the past. 
== Astrography ==
The Tyran Free State can be found in the central Vernarca Nebula, filled as it is with huge, volatile stars, and is slowly expanding towards the unclaimed galactic west. Major systems include:
* Rigela – site of the nation's capital, New Tarash
* Gagibah
* Vernarca – binary Wolf-Rayet stars, key energy production facilities
* Smizok
* Athos – supernova remnant, the creation of which dealt the death blow of the Tyran Empire
* Anhooie – former location of Tarash before its destruction
* Hadra
* Dran
* Unexploited protostar systems, considered too dangerous to settle
=== Neighboring Powers ===
The Tyran Free State has direct borders with the Falacian Dominion, Verdan Federation, the Federate of Varaltin-Zartha (protectorate status), Voyorras, Marakat, and the Enolian Coalition. It also borders a stretch of unclaimed space to the galactic northwest, which it is slowly expanding into. 
=== Capital ===
New Tarash is a terraformed world in the Rigela System and the new adopted homeworld of the Tarasze. Following the destruction of Tarash in 41 AC, the newly established Free State chose to set its new capital here, before beginning the terraforming process and converting infrastructure in the Rigela System towards habitation installations. The attacks of Shahso's loyalist fleet never reached the system, but it still felt the loss of trade lines during the conflict. Afterwards, Tarasze engineers descended from Rigela's original purpose as a shipyard were sent across the nation to help rebuild from the conflict. 
Today, New Tarash and its moons are still not the largest concentration of Tarasze. That honor falls to Canamar. But its population is steadily growing as the species recovers from the catastrophe. The planet and its three moons are living up to the name of Tarash, and it will only get better from here.

== Government ==
See also: Tyran Empire#Government
The government of the Tyran Free State was much the same as that of its predecessor, albeit with some checks and balances and a more democratic method for the election of senators to prevent the excesses of the Empire. Under the Free State, new senators were elected by all of the adult population in their district, rather than the old regime's system of self-selection and hereditary office. 
=== Agencies and Institutions ===
*Tyran Senate
*Defense Committee
*Tyran Guard
*Tyran Ministry of Science
*Order of the Glass Box
=== Foreign Relations ===
The Tyran Free State maintains generally amicable diplomatic relations with all of its neighbors except the Falacian Dominion. It is officially allied with the Verdan Federation and Talarian Union, as well as the three larger former Tyran states. The Federate of Varaltin-Zartha is a protectorate of the Free State, with guaranteed military and economic support against any shenanigans from the Falacian Dominion.
