Tynos Republic



The Tynos Republic or Unknown Republic, Tynosian planets was the collective term of a group of independently run star systems in the Unknown Region Of the Star Wars galaxy during much of the Pre Republic, Old Republic and the beginning of the Clone wars era.

History
On the edges of the Rakata's Infinite Empire was a small triad of worlds each governed by the newly space bound Damun who had lived prosperously on their homeworlds away from the cruelty and labor of the Rakata for thousands of years, unknown to them was the technology of the Hyperdrive, they used conventional rocket fuel which took thousands of years to reach their nearby stars thus making the Damun isolated from the rest of the galaxy. Each planet would go millennium with limited or no contact between each other due to their primitive early space age technology.

Eventually the Damun made contact with the Rakata. The Rakata seeing them as a primitive space faring civilizations thought it would be easy to conquer and enslave the peaceful Damun. In space the technology of the Damun was no use against the Rakata's infinite warships, but planetside the Damun put their advanced strategic skill to use, killing hordes of Rakata before a planet was finally glassed to oblivion by the orbiting warships. The Damun lost their two planets to heavy orbital bombardment and their homeworld Damos was all that was left of their empire. As the Rakata Began their onslaught of Damos, heroes arose from the ashes, force sensitive Damun led their people against the occupying Rakata forces one of these was an exiled fleet Admiral named Aqer Tinos, exiled for an accident were he piloted a colony fleet into Damos's star after he failed to calculate the fleet's astrocharts properly he escaped on an escape pod and left his crew and colonist to perish in the star. With primitive weaponry, due to the Damun's peaceful nature ,fighting was something only the most dangerous of the species were up to.

With all odds against the Damun they enacted their final solution, the Realspace Generator. Damun scientist had labored over the years to reverse the effects of time on an object, theorizing with enough force a small rip in realspace could be created destroying anything in the immediate vicinity a superweapon was made. With Rakatan warships entering orbit to glass the last remnants of Damun holdouts on Damos, A last group of Damun colony ships turned warships was launched into space for a final suicide mission, led by the exiled Admiral Aqer Tinos on his ship the Opus carrying the realspace generator, the fleet lost 90% of their ships within 10 minutes of entering orbit with the Rakatan warships. The Opus sustained irrepairable damage but due to Aqer force sensitivity he was able to pilot the huge ship in the center of the Rakata Fleet before the Admiral activated the Realspace generator, Sucking everything in orbit including Damos's moon into a wormhole and abruptly closing.

The Damun, now saved, always remembered the exile's daunting sacrifice renaming their planet Tynos after the Redeemed Admiral. With the reverse engineering of the hyperdrive from crashed Rakatan warships, the first Damun dreadnought named "Aqers Faith" played a pivotal role in the colonization of hundreds of star systems in the Unknown Regions and the Damun's "negotiations" with the other species of the Unknown Regions especially the Chiss.

The Tynosian Republic grew to about the same size as the Galactic Empire during the Old Republic Era and were totally oblivious of their counterparts on the other side of the Galaxy.

Fall
During the beginning of the Clone wars era, the Tynosian Republic dissolved after the Chiss Ascendancy Waged war over the politically supreme Tynosian Government. The chiss did not engage in direct conflict but turned the Tynosian Planets against each other, leading to Galaxy wide civil war. Since the Tynosian Council was made up of only Damun there was no diplomatic resolve to the situation and eventually the Damun became warlike and fought each other over petty disagreements such as who should rule a seat. By the time of the Galactic Empire the Tynosian Republic was no more and all that remained was a small group of feuding planets waging war on each other in one of the outer spiral arms of the Unknown Regions.
