Citinian Imperial Republic

The most influential and militarily-powerful civilization in the Milky Way galaxy, the Citinian Imperial Republic is currently considered to be the Galaxy's Apex Government and the first Hyperpower since the collapse of the Sorian Empire nearly 112,000 years ago. Currently holding the second largest territory, behind the Isonian Stratocratic Monarch (#3 on the Galaxy Map), they have an expansive military defense structure, a powerhouse economy, and a culture and scientific influence that is galaxy-wide.

History
Formed late in the year 2970 BCE the Citinian Imperial Republic replaced the less popular government of the Citinian Republic that had ruled the Citinian-centric territories for more than 12,000 Galactic Years. Overthrown by the Oräan Rebellion in the end of the Second Republican War, the Republic’s government had fallen on hard economic times for the first time in seven thousand years, bringing in a depression that many believed would cripple the Republican Marine Corps and its Navy when fighting Isonian Forces in the Cygnus Arm. With the failing economy, the Senate and the Ölamäkxong () whom led the Citinian Republic quickly began seizing control of private funds, selling off major company stocks and ridding the Republic of its reserves of hydrogen in desperate attempts to gain as many credits as they could before the Republic fell to its enemy in the growing conflict. After two years of heavy financial troubles, a Senator by the name of Ŗom Käshim of Vex began gathering followers in the Senate, speaking out against the Ölamäkxong publicly. Making it very clear that the Citinian Republic as a whole was not for the drastic conflict that the “Teachers” had brought upon them, nor were they supportive of the new anti-Isonian movements by the radical senators that had appeared in the recent decade. Many mainstream Citinians, both in the Republic and across the Galaxy, quickly voiced their support for Senator Käshim and his conservative views of Citinian culture and language as well as his more modernized views on politics and economics. Rising in power, the Senator from Ilos soon instated his only military force, the Ölatskxowmngël ( translated into English more commonly as: “Cobra Guard” or “Serpentine Guard”). Kongï and his armed bodyguards stormed the Council Hall on the fifty-sixth day of the Citinian year 1252 (056.1256), seizing control of the Senate by force and holding the Ölamäkxong captive as war criminals. This day has become known as:  or “Goddess Day” as well as the beginning of the Third Modern Era which the Galaxy is currently in the 5550th standard year of.

Heavy Dreadnought
Heavy Dreadnoughts (coded on Interspecies Conventions as an HDN) are the biggest guns in space, and according  to some, the most powerful weapon of war in existence. With 160 of these 10km behemoths in the Citinian Navy, the Empire has the second largest number of HDNs in the Galaxy. The Tskxowm Class HDN Fleet is a special design weighing in at 3.3 million tons, they are larger than the next competitor, the Isonian Phukh Mime Class of HDNs with a measurement of 10km (length) by 400m (wide) by 600m (heigh). Highly advanced point-defense systems and one of the Galaxy's largest array of broadside guns made up of Heavy Rifles (Frigate-Sized Rifles able to rip through lightly armored vessels with ease). Their main gun, a Heavy Dread Rifle (HDR) is 9.5km long and can generate an impact force of almost twelve petajoules every twenty seconds which is equivalent to just over eight and a half megatons of TNT per minute (each minute generating enough heat energy to power an average household for almost a million years). That being said, it is understandable that the Tskxowm's main gun is considered to be what is called a "planet killer" as shelling a planet with this amount of power would be able to level major planetary infrastructure within minutes.
