Tochun Empire

Wakax

The Tochun Empire was a imperialist nation that first broke away from the Devoran United Stars, following the end of the Devoran Civil War. It was then replaced by the State of Tochun after the Tochuni Civil War.

## Government Structure

The Tochun Empire was originally a military dictatorship, with the military leader known as the Imperator had absolute power over the state. The Tochun Nation did'nt officially become an empire until the Imperator, Hatux, declared himself as Emperor much to the dismay of the more liberal factions in the government.

## Society

Tochun society during the empire was always in a state of chaos. The Tochun were originally slave warrior used by the Devoran Kingdom for protection and putting down revolts and protests. They are confrontational and aggressive people by nature owing to their primitive war-like culture pre-Breen invasion. When the Kingdom ended and with their independence guarantee, they found out that their country was full of warriors with no purpose. Hatux tried to steer his people to a common goal such as rebuilding but his declaration as an Emperor irk people the wrong way and ultimately led to the civil war.

## History

The Tochun people were a primitive warlike society akin to

that of a Bronze Age civilization prior to the Breen invasion. When the Breen did arrive, they conquered them with barely any formal resistance and enslaved the Tochun. The Tochun were eventually elevated to fight along side the Royal Army possible due to their strength and fighting aptitude. They came to pride themselves in their work, calling themselves seeing that their warrior traits are put to good use. This however wasn’t acceptable by the other enslaved races including their own people. The non-combatant Tochun who tired of enslavement declared the formation of the Free Warriors, a rebel group that would do anything necessary to free their people even if it meant harming them in the process.

### Free Warrior Rebellion

The Free Warriors attack any Breen and sympathizers alike with bombs and raids on military facilities. They had stricken fear into the Breen hearts and many citizens fled the planet in droves in fear of what

    the rebel group would do to them. The Free Warriors had believed they won until the Holy Kingdom’s forces arrived with Tochun Warriors on their side. This would lead to a stalemate with battles raging across Tochun for several years until the civil war. When the DJF arrived, they joined immediately and forced the Royal Army and Navy out of the system. The Free Warriors were instrumental in the Battle of Veraht, helping end the war on the ground. After the collapse of the Kingdom the group immediately declared their independence and formed the Tochun Empire.

### Imperial Era

The people of the newly found Tochun Empire were now finding themselves without purpose. With no war or rebellion to keep them busy many began turning to mercenary or guard work. Their Imperator, Hatux sought to counter this by hiring the unemployed for construction. This helped a bit but with most construction projects being military further abetted the situation. The riots and unrest in the colonies only became worst when Hatux declared himself emperor. People who balked at the idea of Hatux as emperor or wanted a republic were called Revolutionists and began taking up arms. Those that accepted Hatux's rule and or willing to defend the new empire were known as Imperialists or Loyalists. The Tochun civil war would erupt in 2264 along with destabilization of the Tochun Empire.

### Tochun Civil War

Battles would rage across the nation as the Revolutionists fight to overthrow the state while the Imperial fighters

   seek to counter them at every turn. By 2266 the civil war would begin to grind to a stalemate with no real territorial changes being awarded after battles. This was until the the newly formed Union of Planets began supplying the Revolutionists with weapons and ships. This angered Hatux and his government which immediately declared war on the federation. Hatux ordered fleets that were to defend key points and planets to attack Zanscar system and outlying planets of the DUS. This was detrimental to his defenses as the rebels and UOP forces broke through the lax forces around Tochun and captured it. Hatux and what was left of his scattered forces began a strategic retreat from the tochun systems towards the star system Galen and more specifically to the ancient star platform orbiting the Pulsar. The Imperial Fighters and supporters renamed themselves as the Revenant Corps and began preparing for one last fight. This would be the site of the final battle of the war and the start of a new era in the region.
