What changed · Cyrannus Empire

Every division has its documents, and the handbook covers the whole Empire20 Sept 2026

Each division now holds its own documents, listed on its page: a charter (what it is for, whose orders it takes, what it owes the rest), its ranks and their duties with what each may do on the site and what a promotion rests on, how to join it and what the first weeks are, and standing orders for how it carries itself in the game. Intelligence adds Handling information. The charters, ranks and joining documents are public; standing orders open to the division's members. Twenty-five documents, marked Draft until each command confirms them.
Six new handbook guides say how the Empire is run, not only how the site works: The Empire, in one read; Chain of command, in practice; At an event; Transfers, discharge and leaving; and for command, Leading a division and Promoting well. The handbook lists them in the order a member meets them.
Four new regulations: Divisions and postings (one branch at a time, the Army alongside, transfers by both commands), Command and the use of powers (a reason on every change, a decision within seven days, removal for cause only), Information and confidentiality (nothing about a real person, ever; what stays in a division, a team or a ticket), and Accounts and alternates (one person, one member). Drafts until the throne confirms them.
The Archive and The project are gone from the site and the sidebar. What shipped now lives under the handbook as What changed. The search finds a division's documents, and answers a member with their own division's first.

The Directorate's address, closer to a real server and harder to get into19 Sept 2026

A passphrase of your own, on top of the Roblox sign-in, asked once a day on each device; five wrong tries and the account waits a quarter of an hour; a screen left alone locks itself; your devices are listed and can be revoked; a Section Chief or above can reset a passphrase. Every entry, right or wrong, and every new device is on the ledger.
Talk the way you would on a server: channels by category, a member panel beside the conversation with who is there now, typing, replies, reactions, edits, a line where the new messages start, names completed after @, and a search over everything you can open.
Direct messages rebuilt: one member or a group of several, the last thing said on the list, seen receipts, a timer per conversation from an hour to kept, a message that goes five minutes after it is read, and a conversation deleted for both or left.
The mark on every screen now carries the minute as well as the name and code. In production the screens run under a strict content security policy, and the Director can burn everything said in a channel.

The Intelligence Directorate has its own address19 Sept 2026

intelligence.cyrannus.nexus is the Directorate's own place, served by this site: channels, direct messages, a members list with who is on Roblox now, and a ledger. It opens for members of the Cyrannus Intelligence Directorate group and nobody else, with their grade read from the group every minute; site staff outside the Directorate have no way in. Sign in with Roblox on this site and you are signed in there.
Each channel is open from a grade up, for reading and for writing, and Section Chiefs and above make, set and archive channels, pin and remove any message. Four to start: Briefing, The floor, Field and Directorate.
Every screen there carries the reader's name and a five-letter code, faintly across the whole window and invisibly in every line of text, so a capture or a paste reads back to whoever it was shown to. Nothing selects, copies, drags or prints; the screen veils itself when you leave the window; a sealed channel shows a message only while it is held; messages expire on a clock the channel sets. Deputy Directors and above read the ledger of who opened what and can trace a leaked line; the Director can lock the whole place.
Nothing written there is posted to Discord, put in the owner's export, or found by the search. The handbook guide The Intelligence Directorate's own address says the rest.

A ladder of powers in every group, leave filed with a division, and a Leave screen20 Sept 2026

What you may do in a group is decided by the role you hold in that group, and by nothing else. From rank 248 in a division's group an officer asks for role changes; from 251 the command sets them and decides its requests, its leave and its applications; from 252 the senior command may also remove a member. In the Empire group, Command asks, High Command sets, and only the Cyrrarch and the throne remove. Nobody reaches anyone at or above their own role, nor above them in the Empire.
Each card in the Command Center opens on three tabs: Members, Leave and Requests. A division's leave requests, its officers' role requests, its applications and its join requests are decided on its own tabs by its own command, and nothing from one group is decided from another. The card counts what waits on you.
Removal from a group: the senior command orders it with a reason and the word typed, the member is taken down to the group's lowest role at once, and the order stands on the record and in #rank-logs until the group on Roblox no longer lists them. Roblox gives the site no key that removes a member, so the removal itself is done in the group by hand.
Leave has its own screen, under You: which of your divisions it is for, the kind, the dates, the reason, what stands, the month's allowance, and who decides yours by name. Leave is a division's business, so it is for members of the Crownguard, the Military Police, the Special Forces, Intelligence and the Political Council; a Recruit in the Army alone is told why not.
The Command Center opens for anyone with a power somewhere: Command in the Empire, or an officer of a division whatever the Empire says. An officer may withdraw a request before it is decided.
Text a member typed no longer carries Discord's formatting into the log channels: a reason written as a link is shown as the words it was.

The Command Center is a card per group, and the site is harder19 Sept 2026

The Command Center is one card per group you can act in: the Cyrannus Empire and each division where you hold a role with roles below it. A card says what you are there, whether you set roles or request them, how many are in it and what waits; open it for the members and the roles. A group where your role is the lowest is not shown.
Command, rank 8 in the Empire, requests a role change; High Command, rank 9 and above, sets it. A division's door is opened by its command, the same command that decides its applications and its members' leave.
A security review of the whole site, with what it found fixed: a moderator can no longer set anyone, themselves included, to owner, nor sanction someone not below them; keys are compared in constant time; every response carries frame and content-type protections; nothing typed on the site can ping the Discord server.
The owner can export everything the site holds as one file, and the site tells #website-logs when it breaks.

Leave is decided by your own division, and the site moves faster18 Sept 2026

Command has four screens, one job each: the Command Center for members and roles, Requests for applications, join requests and role changes, Quota for the week and the leave, Activity for the numbers. The sidebar counts what waits on each.
The Quota screen now carries the leave: who asks for it, decided there by the command of the member's own division and by nobody from another, and who is on it. A commander opens it on their division.
The command of a division is its General, Commander, Section Chief, Councilor and above in the division's own group, holding High Command in the Empire. The same rule decides its applications.
The account screen reads in two columns on a wide screen: what is going on for you beside what stands on your record. The search is the field at the top of the sidebar, not an item in it.
A host can edit an event while it is still to come: the time, the kind, the details, where and for whom. Everyone coming keeps their place, the change is posted to #events and the Discord copy follows. No more cancelling to fix a typo.
A long document lists its sections beside it, and every document ends with the one before and the one after it in its class. The handbook is shelved by who each guide is for.
The sidebar is four plain groups: Home on its own, then Empire (events, roster, divisions, ranks), Documents (regulations, handbook, archive, the project), You. Secondary text is a step brighter, notes keep to a readable width, and prose sits at seventy-odd characters a line. The home cover tells a member what is coming up.
On a phone, a tab bar at the bottom: Home, Events, Search, Account and More, where the whole list lives. A dot on More means something waits on you. Toolbar buttons drop under the title instead of squeezing it.
Who is on Roblox right now: the home screen lists members in the game or online, the roster and the Command Center tag them, and a profile says so. Read from Roblox a minute ago at most.
Time in a role: a profile and the Command Center say how long a member has held their role in each division, counted from when the site first saw it, and Activity lists who has waited longest with what they were marked at. What a promotion needs to know, without a spreadsheet.
On Discord, #inspection now exists for inspection results, and the notices in #high-command and the division channels point at the right screens.
Every screen answers at once with its frame and fills in as it loads, instead of holding the old screen until the new one was whole. A change of screen no longer scrolls its way back to the top.
What the site reads from Roblox to draw a screen is kept a minute, so the Command Center, the roster and a profile open in a fraction of the time. A role set from the site still shows at once.

Leave of absence, and the weekly quota16 Sept 2026

Leave: ask on your account for a kind of leave between two dates, for a reason. A day to two weeks, and two weeks a month in all. Three days or fewer is noted on the spot; longer waits on your division's High Command in the Command Center. Declined, you are told why; a request nobody decided by the day it begins is approved by the clock.
The quota: two events attended a week, marked by the host, and for officers one hosted. Your account shows your week; the home screen says when you are short.
Quota, in the Command Center: everyone against the week, short first, this week or last, by division. Monday's report names who was short. A week on leave, or the week you arrived, does not count.
Regulation eight, Activity and leave, says all of it in the rules.

A search that answers16 Sept 2026

One search over everything you can open: the guides, the rules, divisions, ranks, screens, events, members, your tickets. Nothing you cannot open is listed.
Ask a question in your own words and the sentence that answers it comes first: a rule, a step, the next training, who is in a division, your own tickets.
Typos are corrected, the Empire's own words are understood (CID, MP, LOA, high command), and the last word is completed as you type.
Press the slash key or Command K on any screen for the search palette; the Search screen has the same with more room.
Activity, for officers and above: the last eight weeks as numbers, by division, with who hosted. The roster can be downloaded as a spreadsheet.
Schedule again on any event; a link to a document, a division or an event shows a card with the mark when pasted into Discord.
The home screen tells a member what happened to them this week, and the account lists the first steps until they are taken.

The handbook, event reports, the calendar15 Sept 2026

A handbook of ten guides on how things are done here, from getting started to moderation, each at its own clearance.
Whoever marks attendance can write what happened. Members read it on the event; inspections post their result to #inspection.
Inspection and ceremony are event kinds.
The Empire's calendar can be subscribed to from any calendar app, and each event has an Add to calendar button.
Division pages carry their member count, their next events, who leads them, and for officers how many applications wait.
The home screen tells a member what is next for them: the event they said yes to, an application waiting, an absence in force.
The Command Center can cut the members list to those quiet lately, or away, for an activity check, and High Command can commend from it.
The roster filters by division and by name.
Each morning the site tells #events what is on in the next twenty-four hours.
A ticket left waiting on the member for two weeks is closed by the clock.
Search covers events and the text of any document you can open.

Appeals, bans that end, and the server following a ban14 Sept 2026

A restricted or banned account can open an appeal and answer on it; it is the one thing it can do.
A site ban with an end date is lifted by the clock, and the member's Empire group role given back, unless another ban stands.
Discord roles follow a ban, a suspension or leaving the group: Verified goes too.
Linking a Discord account that already stands behind another member is refused with a plain message.
Names of who is coming to an event are for members; visitors see the count.

Events, applications, the Command Center, the server13 Sept 2026

Events: officers schedule, members say they are coming, hosts mark who came, and that is what counts as activity. Each event is mirrored to the Discord server's Events tab.
Applications to a division, decided by its High Command in the Command Center; accepting answers the join request on the Roblox group.
Away: say when you will be gone and it is not counted against you.
Member profiles, with live standing, postings, commendations and events attended.
The Command Center: roles in the Roblox groups set from the site, requests from Command granted by High Command, join requests answered.
Game bans are live: a ban issued on the site keeps the member out of the experience, with the reason on the join screen.
The Discord server, shaped and gated by one policy: roles from Roblox, log channels fed by the site, a member count, AutoMod, and every information channel filled from the same text the site serves.
A weekly report to #high-command every Monday.

The regulations12 Sept 2026

Seven regulations, first issue, each saying who it applies to. On the site and in #rules.

The site is live6 Sept 2026

cyrannus.nexus: the document register, the divisions, the rank ladder, the archive and the project brief.
Sign in with Roblox. Rank and postings are read from the Roblox groups; nothing is set by hand.
Discord as a second identity, optional, with roles set from Roblox.
Support tickets, answered on the site by the moderation team, with punishments and appeals recorded on the account.

Open an entry for the detail. The same entries are posted to #development on the Discord server. Anything confusing, missing or broken is a word in Support.
