NYaucto Teyno

The famed and feared nYaucto Teyno, once the most powerful force throughout the Silky Way Gap that lay beyond the Coruscating Cluster. Reduced to shamble of it's former glory it rose again in it's present form as the **Neo nYaucto Teyno**.

## Government

The Neo nYaucto Teyno at the national level is owned, ruled, and governed by the **Emperor** and the **Imperial College**, the majority of whom are members of the ruling dynastic family. Authority begins with the Emperor who is both head of state and head of government. All national laws must first be assented to by the Emperor and all chief administrators and judiciaries must have been appointed by the Emperor.

The state divides it's territories into seven **Possessions**: Keneyzr, Ezaunor, Zeyzhcor, The North-West Cauleyt, The South-Forth Cauleyt, The East-Aft Cauleyt, and the Crimson Cauleyt. As the Teyno is enormous day to day business, even on the highest level, if primarily handled by a council of twenty chief judiciaries known as the **Teynoc Magistrate**. Each Possession also has it's own five man magistrate called a **Proper Magistrate**. Each Possession is overseen by an **Imperial Governor** who is appointed by the Emperor and in turn selects their own Proper Administration.

## History

Eight thousand years ago the nYaucto Teyno came about as the dominating civil force among the nYaucto species on the Io like world of Notol. After uniting most of the home world, population stresses eventual forced the Teyno to spread into and across the Ezaunor System.

Six thousand years ago, the empire began an ambitious construction project, turning Ezaunor into the beating heart of a solar powered laser network, which allowed the Race to easily colonize the rest of the Coruscating Clusters. Similar hubs were created around the relatively luminous stars of **Zeyzhcor** and **Keneyzr**. As the expansion wave continued to sweep outward the nYaucto arrived at Peyn and discovered the Apyey species, a very intelligent race, imprisoned in their aquatic forms. After being physiologically uplifted, the Apyey mind proved essential to the nYaucto ambitions, eventually discovering the Alcubierre drive.

Four thousand years ago the nYaucto Teyno entered it's golden era, constructing it's great exotic matter farms around Kezhentor and similar locations, establishing a prototype of it's Great-Gap-Hyperlane-System, completing Dyson swarms around Ezaunor, Zeyzhcor, and Keneyzr, founding colonies in the Haze via preestablished wormholes, and uplifting various species it discovered in the gap. It was soon in possession of a ten thousand star empire, and was an emerging power on the galactic stage when tragedy struck.

Two thousand years ago a violent and powerful explosion occurred within one of the channels of the Hyperlane system in a perfect storm of coincidences it produced a chain reaction which shattered the remainder of the Great Gap Network and crippled the empires ability to resupply it's frontier colonies with essential biotics, which could only be produced inexpensively on hellworlds such as Notol.

To further aggravate the issue, the Teyno kept the biotics rather inaccessible as a means to maintain control over the Empire. Within a decade of the collapse 90% of the colonies had died off unable to reproduce the biotic with only remnants surviving in a comalike hibernation called a cyst-state. The surviving colonies were decimated multiple times in erupting power struggles, both near the core, and around producing worlds. And the Teyno was reduced to a mere ten systems each not even a tenth of what they used to be. The Apyey and other uplifted species, not dependent on the nYaucto biological constraints took the opportunity to create their own polities, though a significant minority could not survive without the nYaucto's supporting infrastructure and system knowledge.

Many more of these attempts were extinguished near the middle of the crises when the Ezaunor world unleashed a volley of RKM strikes against it's former colonies with varying degrees of success before succumbing to the affects of it's own civil wars. Gradually stability returned and when the smoke cleared, the reformed nYaucto Teyno now designated as the Neo nYaucto Teyno rose to take up the mantle of it's predecessor. With all three of the major systems; Ezaunor, Zeyzhcor, and Keneyzr under Teyno control once again, only the most powerful or distant former colonies survived the new onslaught.

Today the Teyno has managed to reclaim one hundred systems within the Coruscating Cluster and several of it's extragalactic holdings in the Haze.
