Cyrrhenic Empire
The Cyrrhenic Empire, also spelt Cyrennic Empire, (PROSE: The Universal Databank [+]Loading...["The Universal Databank (reference book)"]) — or Greater Cyrrhenic Empire (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Ribos Operation [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Ribos Operation (novelisation)"]) — also known as the Alliance, was a group of aligned planets, including Levithia and Ribos.
The Empire had fought in the Alliance Wars (or frontier wars), such as on Freytus, most led by the emperor Graff Vynda-K. Despite this, and due in part to his tyrannical rule, they refused to back him on the throne after his half-brother took control of his planet.
