Installing Nexus system images on any device?

Theoretically, what would happen if I tried to flash a Nexus 9 5.1.1 image to my Apex TM785CH tablet with Kitkat? I'm 99% sure it would brick although it might just work. If this is not possible, is there any way to get 5.1.1 on my device? Are there any universal Lollipop images? The manufacturer has not released any updates for the device.

Thanks
