Tyl

Tyl, called Tyl the Deplorable, was the legendary warlord who united the Trunsks by conquering all of Trunska. He quicky converted his conquering armies into a police force, and diverted resources which formerly went towards war into technological development. As a result, the Trunsks quickly went from an isolated civilization with information-era technology to Galactic Republic members with hyperspace technology (though it is not certain how much time passed between Tyl's conquests and Trunska's membership in the Republic).
