Epsilon Empire

== Overview ==
=== Origin ===
The Epsilon Empire was originally the Venglar Colony, founded by the Penumbra Alliance in 2099 AD, but after the rebellion against Earth destroyed the Alliance in 2152, the Empire was born. It's leader, XtremEvan, rallied the people of Epsilon to his side to create his empire after him and the rest of Task Force 92 of the Rebel Forces removed the Alliance from power. The Venglar Colony was fed up with the Alliance's strict and unfair rules imposed upon them, and they were more than willing to accept a new leader promising a new life for them.
=== Current Empire ===
The emperor promised a new life for his citizens, and he fulfilled their wishes, in appearance at least. The empire is actually very efficient, the economy has never dropped to a terrible level, unemployment is almost non-existent. The cities themselves are beautiful and most of the manufacturing and production is done on the surface of Venglar's desolate moons or in the uninhabited areas of the planet's surface, away from the cities. It's almost like a paradise to its citizens, a utopia of the galaxy. But underneath this amazing exterior, the empire is actually very corrupted. Most of the citizens are oblivious to this fact however, and simply live and move on with their lives. Epsilon uses some of the most notorious propaganda ever devised by man to keep it's citizens in line. Anyone who steps out of line or even whispers about bringing down the empire ends up disappearing forever.
=== Military ===
The Epsilon military is currently the largest and most powerful combat force known to mankind up to this point. It stands at 110 million strong, with about 50 million deployed throughout the LGA System fighting against the Demith Defense Force ( DDF) and F.O.I. insurgents. The main reason for the huge number of forces is due to the nation-wide draft that the emperor instigated, believing that more soldiers will win the war faster. The Epsilon Armed Forces (EAF) uses state-of-the-art military technology, ranging from battle mechs, starcruisers, hypersonic bombers, satellite weaponry, and more developed by many private companies working for the government. One of the most important assets to the Epsilon Military are the CyberOps Agents, developed by HGE to wage supernatural warfare against Demith and the F.O.I.
=== The Rules ===
The citizens of Epsilon have reasonable rights, and are allowed to keep them as long as they follow the main rule: stay in line. Criticizing the government is an offense with the penalty of death by firing squad. The rules and government are run by a handpicked council, and the council makes many of the decisions in favor of the emperor. However, the Emperor always has supreme reign, and he can overrule anything that council does without any reason at all, even though he doesn't do it much as he handpicked them all himself, and they are extremely loyal and devoted, some even in his family.
