Delani Remnants

Delani Revolution and Aftermath
The former Delani regime, headed by Dictator Melios Turiani, along with his Council of Generals, was in many ways one of the most militaristic, authoritarian, simply dystopian states in the galaxy- and the best concealed. Following rioting on the planet of Nis Retaiant, word began to get out about the actual conditions within the nation.

Before the current regime had taken power, the Delani Republic had been just that- a Republic headed by a President, backed by a Parliament, made of a massive coalition of colonies. However, it in itself was the result of a military coup. While it had been in power for nearly two hundred years, the former, short lived regime had been headed by a King; he had been very popular with the people. His descendants were allowed to live with full rights, and survived to this day.

After the second coup, the Dictator only ruled for a short 78 days before it collapsed. It had shown signs of collapse since it's beginning. The Generals that formed the council below the dictator was constantly fighting themselves and only he was there to keep them in line. The people were distraught and unhappy. Life itself hit new lows.

The Dictator, in his short reign, made huge changes. All young men were conscripted; fanatical sons of his supporting aristocratic families were made into the Red Guard, a terrifying military police; the people themselves were forced to live in poverty, with the richer families being literally given money.

The rioting on Nis Retaiant slowly grew and soon became a full out rebellion. While the rebels were scattered at first, they soon organized under the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandson of the first King, Crown Prince Novion Selimat, who quickly refurbished the age old Magistrate's Palace on Nis Retaiant and made it his mansion. The Provisional Royal Parliament met there and signed and official document of their rebellion. Soon, rebels from across the Republic joined the new faction in their rebellion and formed the 3rd Delani Republic.

They were not universally supported, however. Another group- the Reformists- seeked a Socialist regime. They were undermanned, outgunned, and hardly supported, but went on almost as martyrs within the outer colonies within which they formed. They fought both sides during the revolution and are what led to the stringent relationships between the inner worlds and old colonies and the fringe worlds.

The Reformists were quickly crushed and absorbed by the 3rd Republic and soon the homeworld of Demosrakus and several of the inner colonies were the only Dictatorial Republic worlds left. With the now-king's forces moving in, Melios Turiani and his followers made an exodus to several abandoned, icy worlds outside of current Delani space, leaving the majority of the Red Guard to fight to the last.

Having nearly utterly lost to the rebels, the Remnants hid out in the worlds, developing new technologies and letting the very small families they had taken with them propagate. Most of the Council of Generals was dead; three of them and the former dictator were left. Their names were Kolos Terranys, Velsa Qulassinat, and Hyros Nyxos. Nyxos would eventually lead the Remnants. One of the generals- their identity was never truly found, although Nyxos was suspected- hired an assassin to kill Turiani. With him dead, a bloody but short civil war occurred between the remnants, with Nyxos emerging triumphant.

With his troops outclassing Delani forces in nearly every way, he launches small strikes on the fringe worlds. They cannot hope to defeat the new, thriving Republic, but the time and manpower required for the Republic to crush them would be too much than its currently worth. So the Republic simply censors most of the news about them, claiming Marine forces are near defeating them, while the Remnant forces outclass the Republic in some way every 3 months, their research running wild.
