This world is defended by the Syzlin Home Fleet, based out of Syzlin itself.

All ground forces, system defense vessels, planetary installations and Jump-capable naval vessels in the Syzlin Republic are under the direct control of the Republican President on Syzlin.

Planetary Timeline

• Deep in the Long Night: Syzlin, a subject world of the short-lived Kaiter Hegemony, gains control of a small fleet of starships in a military rebellion. These ships are used to drive Kaiter forces from the local cluster.

• -150: Syzlin begins to expand and takes full control of its cluster as the Syzlin Empire.

• Circa 500: The Empire peaks at 24 systems.

• 778: A rebellion on Osaka triggers the partial collapse of the Syzlin Empire, reducing it to six systems.

• Circa 800: A wave of reform sweeps through the remaining Syzlin Empire systems. A brief but bitter civil war results in a republic replacing the empire.
