Since the empire had a population of billions, managing it was impossible for any one ruler. However, it would prove foolish to create a large bureaucracy staffed by agents acting on behalf of the emperor. In what is known as the '''Court Catastrophes''', bureaucrats, concubines, and other officials caused partial or total collapses of civil order in their battles for influence over the emperor, appointing the heir, or power struggles between clans. |

In 8271 CE, Emperor Densen decreed the immediate replacement of of all high-ranking government officials with so-called "Neutral Ministers." These ministers were heavily altered human brains capable of faithfully executing any command given to them. They floated in large vats tethered to dense wires. Since the creation of computers and artificial intelligences became increasingly difficult as the ancient technology degraded, neutral ministers began managing much more than just the central government. The various clans used them to great effect in the coordination of resources. While slow for calculations, they were very good for pattern recognition, extrapolation of trends, and allocation of resources. |

Soon, networks approximating the ancient computer networks of the Triumvirate formed, granting Tenshi the ability to coordinate large scale efforts automatically. The ease of money transfer, while slow, was far faster than using rail to coordinate efforts. It allowed for encrypted and secret communication that the much more public radio communication could not provide. To manage the network that formed was a daunting task. With the continual replacement of "neutral ministers" usually by the lobotomized brains of criminals, infrastructure maintenance, and the policing of the immensely useful tool, came the need for a large bureaucratic apparatus even larger than previous ones. This was the origin of the "Grand Secretariat," an ultra-powerful individual who, over time, became the second most influential person within the entirety of Tenshi. |

Tenshi was a large kingdom located mostly on Eos. The nation emerged in the recently-settled Kanadett region of Eos, then a center of private industrial facilities. The remnants of H. Aimer Corporation made up the bulk of the ruling class, those who both owned and defended the assets of the region. As Tenshi finally united under a single king by 8412 CE, it transitioned from a loose confederation of warlords to a centralized state. It went through a series of iterations before unifying under a single central government in 8512 CE, ruled by an elected monarch appointed by each of the major clans.
After unification, Tenshi began paying attention to the rest of Eos. A vast region filled with nearly unlimited resources, Tenshi spent a great deal of time creating colonies throughout the region. Many were meant for settlers, but most had a small Tenshin population. Regions such as Ventemir became the center for a great deal of investment. As capitalism became a significant force amongst the various noble clans and throughout Eos broadly, private colonization became the default mode of imperial expansion.
Tenshi would officially dissolve in 9000 CE after unification with the Ursa Syndicate. The resulting "Greater Tenshi," would exist for only two years before becoming the Dominion of Astraeus, a diarchy made up of both the Archon of Tenshi and the Imperator, which would hail from the Syndicate. The remnants of Tenshi that survived the reform of the Dominion into the Greater Martial Consilium claim a direct connection to this original kingdom. The Duchy of Tianshi is the legal successor state. Tenshi was the origin point for a great deal of advances in the society of Eos, including the development of economic liberalism and the exportation of this system across Eos and beyond.
History
Kanadett
Before the formation of Tenshi, Kanadett was a prosperous region of the Triumvirate Civilization. A large Human population in the region, settled by government decree due to their loyalty, settled the land thousands of years prior. During the Late Republic Period of the Triumvirate, Kanadett became a secondary economic hub due to heavy government investment. Heavy industry, chemical production, and hydroponic agriculture were major industries that, as technology advanced, would become increasingly productive. Individual workers oversaw dozens of machines, powered by simple artificial intelligence that presented no risk to themselves or society. By the War of the Final Transition, Kanadett was an economic powerhouse responsible for the production of a huge portion of the Triumvirate's arms.
During this period, the government was overseen by a single governor appointed by the Triumvirate government. Their cabinet would be made up of the various private entities that oversaw and expanded the factories. They would then sell their resources to the rest of the Triumvirate and even beyond. The reasoning behind this system was to drive down prices across the Triumvirate by undercutting local facilities. This, in turn, greatly damaged the income of organizations represented in the Triumvirate's senate. Instead of weakening their resolve, this system contributed to their rebellion.
After the War of the Final Transition, the various powers of Kanadett splinted into three factions, those loyal to The Administrator, those loyal to Ma'eau, and those loyal to Titania. Since the Administrator was generally seen as the sole legitimate ruler of the Triumvirate, the side of the Administrator called themselves the "Federal Party." Those loyal to Ma'eau, creator of all life in Aylathiya and usually numbering among the chemical industry, called themselves the "Collective Party." Lastly, the loyalists to Titania called themselves the "Titanium Party."
Genesis Period
After the formation of the three major parties, and the endless wars that resulted in an ever increasing number, Kanadett's population began rapidly falling. Interference by Ma'eau caused the destruction of much of the original organizations, making their technology inaccessible. Additionally, as data began being stored on paper, which was far more reliable than the aging computer systems, documents were lost every time a city was conquered. The result was a period from which few document survive. Additionally, due to constant revision of the state narrative of Tenshi, it is difficult to know what actually happened and what is mere mythology.
Even so, there exist several events that are very well-attested both inside and outside of Tenshi. The first major event was the dissolution of most of the companies that once ruled Tenshi. As the governor lost all power and the Administrator's soldiers could do little to maintain their control, Kanadett fell into chaos. Warlords, mercenaries, and even rogue machines eroded all vestiges of the original government only a century after its collapse.
The next event to take place, despite most certainly being highly exaggerated, was the rise of one "Emperor Hakkin." This semi-mythical figure is said to have united the warring factions into the modern clans. This is the purported origins of the aristocracy of Tenshi and resulted in the unification of Kanadett in about 8194 CE. Every clan traces its origins to this emperor and genetic tests suggested a highly prolific individual from around this time. The traditional clans were:
- Hao (Extinct)
- Tange
- Claes
- Pak
- Ke (Extinct)
- Sakaami
- Lai
- Owata (Extinct)
