Thanna

The **Thanna** Rus ( RC: Θаннаь Рус ) are literally "those in place" in the ancient cult language: those who found their places in a supposedly perfect universal order & they want to put everything else in place too.

Rus is the name of their central imperial government, not to be confused with the Ranathan Rus. The home world is named New Earth (RC: Нэя Гэя) and the empress as of 2022 is Irulan the 1st from Iran - after Irulan Corrino from the Dune franchise explicitly as a means to boost her street cred on Ancient Earth as well as Earth 2.

Irulan's birth name was Mansura Zandr or something, with no aristocratic background since she comes from the military. Fundamentally she despises everything her mainstream sisters the Nothanna (in other words: the Ranathan federation) have become, firmly believing that pain is the only way for humans to achieve enlightenment, but at least she's trying her best to keep things cool. Hard-liners tend to hate her a lot!!!

Thanna morality is based on a very primitive aesthetic principle: if something looks good & it just works out somehow, it's good! Period. They tend to often blatantly disregard practical considerations that would otherwise allow them to prosper.

## Origins

The word can also be translated indirectly as "proper speech" to refer to the cult language itself, a language developed originally back on Ancient Earth. They are all narcissistic freaks widely known for their incurable fear of losing control, something that enables them to manipulate all sorts of sentient creatures by infecting them with their own fears.

Ancient Thanna tribes have huge numbers of "traitors" just like the white race on Ancient Earth & those reckless evil traitors are generally called the Laconians. They also have a big bunch of rational moderates who like to tip intelligence officers off when their hard-line comrades are planning something nasty.

## Human relations

Thanna ladies control their human servants by their most primitive basic instincts: food, physical security, emotional security & sex. They do love us an awful lot, but apart from highly intelligent females they do not integrate us into the fabric of their civilizations!

The word "man" (RC: "хамал") means "servant" and the word "wife" (RC: "домина") means "owner" in all Ranisch languages including Ranathan Creole, so no civilization for us dudes in Thanna realms: even reading & writing is often strictly prohibited for us!! We can be landed serfs at best, with all good-looking men expected to attend the castle orgy every sunday.

There we can have sex with human girls, or even take them home as wives if we serve really well. Rich baronesses tend to have these massively voluptuous bio-engineered bodies with a soft skin that is extremely pleasant for humans to touch!

They produce vast amounts of strongly psycho-active aphrodisiacs in their breast milk, together with edible poop & drinkable urine for their personal servants living in their private quarters.

## Moderate Thanna

Moderates like Irulan the Wise or Yvonne Lissner are all in for the long haul: they wanna be able to keep tormenting their slaves for fun till the end of days, without any future complications. They have practically infinite pools of unskilled slaves because of the notorious economic under-performance of their worlds, so they don't need much violence to acquire them.

For example they like watching young brothers beat each other up or torture their own mothers while the youngest brother worhships them orally, submerged in a big pool of water mixed with spice liquor where he often drowns: this obsession with intensive torture comes from the scarcity of properly *skilled* human labor in their worlds.

Laconians are also very much into all this kinky shit, but they tend to hire professional actors for it... Well, mostly! Sometimes also juvenile amateurs who suffer a lot of real pain since they make the monthly salary of their normal jobs in a single night. Their families are also generously supported by the nearest cargo cult, so they always come in droves illegally.

## Radical Thanna

Radical Thanna ladies with destructive goals are usually whitened newcomers with highly questionable Thanna credentials. Unable to match the massive & swiftly increasing power of the Ranador, they tend to mostly rely on all manners of asymmetric warfare: terrorism, sabotage, espionage, organized crime & a whole lot of other things.

These "radicals" are the primary antagonists of the Jade Lensky saga, having a very uneasy relationship with the rest of the Righteous Alliance as well. This tension comes from their decision to co-operate with deeply anti-human entities: Buttheads, evil insectoid swarms, evil AI's, you know, that kind of thing... So now the New Empire has decided to put them in place after all by declaring a total war!!!
