A Time of Empires is a CGI cartoon focusing on Xebec Hawk’s Reformists vs the Republican Forces. It takes place between 95-88 BDM, and consists of multiple seasons, with episodes broken down into separate story arcs. It is a prequel to Age of Legions, and features many similar characters and locations. 
== Premise ==
War is coming. As tensions between the Gorran Empire and Ashotos Republic heighten, interplanetary stability is fragile. Amidst it all is young political activist Xebec Hawk, on a desperate mission to deliver vital information to Gorran high command... before its too late. 
== Creation ==
The character of Xebec Hawk was initially created for a scrapped storyline in Man Out of Time, as he was originally to appear via time travel as Kieron Hawk's great-grandson from the future. However, the creators were unsure if they wanted to introduce time travel in such an important way, so the storyline was abandoned, although the character was not. He was later reworked into Age of Legions, as an important part fo the backstory to that world, with him being a decorated war hero, and a close friend to Deuce. He was always intended to be the major 'kill-off' of the series, which was ultimately realised in the Season Eight finale. 
When Age of Legions ended, the question was always 'what comes next?', as jTV wanted to capitalise on the success and not lose momentum, especially since it was more popular than ever before by the time of the finale. Initially, James Howell conceived Age of Legions: The Holy War as a potential sequel storyline, however was unsure of it as it would dampen the happy ending of the previous show, cutting the peacetime created short. Howell also devised a Xebec prequel, and both of these were pitched to jTV. Due to Howell's reluctance with a sequel, and the character Xebec Hawk being a breakout from the initial series, the show was green-lit, entitled A Time of Empires. In the United States, however, it was given the subtitle 'An Age of Legions Legend', in order to inform audiences that it was linked to the previous series.
