Intelligence Archives now open to Public
By Geneva Reed, 2 months ago.
Greetings Citizens and Honored Guests, I am Geneva Reed, head of the Department of Technology.
Two years ago, my predecessor, Gunn Starfall, started working on a central information storage for the Tion Hegemony. Originally, the primary purpose of this database was to store intelligence gathered by our Defense branch, and also general information that our citizens can access. The work progressed quickly, and the database - now called Hegemonial Intelligence Archives - was ready to accept information.
As time passed, the data inside the Archives started to grow, and we decided to add several new features, including the support for storing the biographies of our citizens, interlinking, grouping of files into collections, etc. With these changes, the Archives slowly began to change purpose, and now, it serves as a general knowledge base, one that Gunn intended to share with the public before his retirement. Therefore, after consulting with Lord Hegemon Typhon Corbin, I finished his work, and now I am proudly presenting you the Intelligence Archives!
Please note, that although this Archive is now open, editing it's contents is not possible for visitors or citizens without clearance (with the sole exception of biographies), due to the fact that we still store classified information (which is hidden from the public) in this database. We will be more than happy to add any content you send us though. (Feel free to message me about it.)

By Geneva Reed, 2 months ago.
This article is a hoax, hacked by an unknown individual as part of a Day 123 prank.
Citizens, visitors, please don't panic!
A new mutagen virus has emerged from another dimension, and it has infected and mutated the genetic structure of numerous sentients in the galaxy today. Nobody knows how it could have affected so many different species in such a short amount of time, or how it spread across the entire galaxy in just a few hours. Athakam science division reports a possible trans-dimensional attack by aliens.
The virus mutates the genetic structure of the victim in just a few short hours, and the results are always the same: the subject turns into an annoying gungan. How, why? It doesn't really matter now. There have been no new cases reported since the initial outbreak, the virus seems to have gone dormant for the moment.
The leader of the Tion Hegemony, formerly known as Lord Hegemon Typhon Corbin also fell victim to this mysterious transformation. It looks like, that in his case, the transformation was not complete, his skin is still blue, like that of a healthy chiss. Unfortunately, his mental state has become unstable.. just a few minutes ago, he announced that his new official rank is "Grand Poobah". Athakam doctors are already working on the problem, and they are confident that Grand Poobah Corbin's metamorphosis is merely a temporary condition.
We all wish a quick recovery for him.
All hail the Grand Poobah!

Department of Technology introduces Lianna - Public Relations VI
By Crislyn Anessa Waryn, 1 year ago.
ARGAI, ARGAI SYSTEM (TCNN), Year 12 Day 105 17:56:50 – Today the Tion Department of Technology (TDoT) announced the completion of a project that has been under development for nearly 6 months. The Department of Technology since its inception has overseen projects sensitive to the Tion HoloNet, Public Relations, and other information systems throughout the Tion Cluster.
Department employees have long worked with Head Engineer Gunn Starfall on the Tion Virtual Intelligence development. However, the idea first began when Mr. Starfall was an employee at Frost Inc, now known as Tion Military and Science Industries (TMSI). Stemming from his original project within TMSI, Mr. Starfall hired the help of fellow Athakam employee Crislyn Anessa Waryn. Ms. Waryn, using her experiences in research and development and droid production over saw the creation of the new VI’s behavior and response protocols. Gunn worked in his familiar engineering and programming fields to create the VI’s programming and HoloNet interface.
Once the shell had been created and the idea was tested and deemed successful, Crislyn and Gunn began to gather information and datafiles about the history of Tion and her affiliate factions to fill the databanks of the PR VI. Created under the programming code of THVI-version 2, the VI was given the name ‘Lianna’ after the Hegemony’s famous Lianna system. While Lianna has been published to the Tion Cluster’s HoloNet with vast amounts of information, she is still under constant development by the TDoT. Gunn and Crislyn have both commented that they plan to add more information to Lianna’s databanks that would cover a variety of topics ranging from the history of the Tion Cluster to in-depth information on the Tion nationalized factions.
As our galaxy begins to grow and change it is nice to know that our own Tion Cluster continues to move on with time. Both Mr. Starfall and Ms. Waryn have stated that they believe Lianna will become one of the galaxy’s most renowned Public Relations programs and they both believe she will help the Hegemony and affiliates to gain new membership. Mr. Starfall also strongly suggests that due to the wide-spread success of Lianna and the positive reviews and acceptance of his work, that the Department of Technology will be expediting some of their major projects in order to bring new membership to Tion.
The Department of Technology would like to point you in the direction of Lianna, who can currently be found here: http://www.tionhegemony.com/holosite/?page=joinus , on the Holosite’s Join Us page. However, Mr. Starfall was quick to explain that Lianna will possibly be moving to a Public Relations oriented page, where she can more easily be found.

Happy New Year!
By Typhon Corbin, 1 year ago.
On behalf of the Hegemony: Happy New Year, Tion!
We've had a very interesting year. Unions were joined, battles were fought, wars were won and progress was made. In the end, we find ourselves more secure and stronger than we were a year ago. We have big plans for Y12, and I'm confident we'll be in an even better position come Y13.
To help kick off the new year, I'm pleased to present you with the first issue of the Tion Tribune. Thanks go out to Biowa Gatecross for bringing it all together, and of course to all of the talented writers who volunteered and contributed. The Tion Tribune is brought to you by our talented Holomaster Gunn Starfall.

Peace in the Tion Hegemony
By Typhon Corbin, 2 years ago.
Tion Hegemony and Kaos Galactica Inc have signed a peace treaty. The war has ended.
For those who don't know, KGI is the new home for Helena Gladio and her multis. They've been continuing the fight since we caused the dissolution of Cron Resurrection and captured their king, though the war had slowed significantly of late as options became more limited. Recently, they contacted me and wanted to talk about ending the conflict and settling the disputed planets. After long consideration and conferring with the High Command followed by extensive negotiations, we have reached an agreement.
Tion Hegemony will lose control of the planet Angalegost, which is partially shielded by KGI. They also own 80% of the city slabs there. In exchange, we are receiving all of KGI's assets (slabs, shields, flats etc) on the planets Irazu, Ugog, Belebrant and Jaminere.
I want to make it known, though, that while we have a peace treaty with KGI, Helena and those directly responsible remain enemies of Tion and will be hunted down individually. We have not signed a non-aggression pact that prevents us from seeking them out. We will not stop until the ones who betrayed us have been brought to justice.
I'd like to thank the members of the Tion Hegemony for their vigilance, courage and support during this conflict. Helena expected to gain complete control before we were able to mount a defense, yet we rallied and were able to claim victory over the Cron Resurrection. There was little hope for victory at the start as we weren't prepared for such a trusted member to do this and they had cities that nearly covered three of the four planets, but through a few clever moves and some amount of good fortune, we were able to not only hold them off but take the war to them and make them feel fear. Every citizen has contributed to the war effort in some way, and for that Tion is in your debt. We also owe thanks to our friends in the Imperial Union who, upon hearing what Helena did to us, immediately dispatched personnel to assist us in defending our territory. Their aid was invaluable.
To celebrate the end of the war and our Independence Day (D300), we will be having some giveaways and other fun stuff over the next few days - stay tuned!
Sincerely,
Typhon Corbin
