Gorron Empire

The Gorron Empire was a nomadic stratocracy that emerged from either the northern parts of the Shining District or far south of The Wharf. They were a highly aggressive and megalomaniacal society determined to wipe out all other races both sentient and sapient alike.
Though their origins aren't confirmed, recovered records indicate they were from a nearby galaxy, ironically named GOR 64E before being renamed the Gorron Cluster as an eponym. After arriving in the Alycine Galaxy, they carved a destructive path to the galactic core, remaining unseen by the galaxy at large. They eventually began their war on the Grox, and slowly but surely eradicated them to the point only small pockets of Grox survived and fled for parts unknown. They were praised as liberators only for a short while before what would become known as The Gorron Invasion.
The Gorron Empire caused galaxy-wide destruction, devastation, death, and economic collapse, leading to the downfall of numerous governments and civilizations. Their mayhem also united several warring and distant states in defense against their onslaught, resulting in their eventual demise. The Gorron Invasion ended in the utter annihilation of all Gorrons, and any corpses of their structures or tech were universally destroyed, with only the history books remaining to tell their legacy.
== Society ==
The Gorron were mostly vagabonds. The few worlds they colonized were used for farming and the occasional mine or lumberyard. With the sole exception of the planet Danviuq in the Patera system acting as its capital, the Empire held no cities and housed the entirety of its people in a massive fleet frequently referred to as the Gorron Armada.
For the most part, Gorron society lived on warfare; the annihilation of planetary ecosystems was their bread and butter. Though the reason is unclear, any life they encountered was deemed undeserving to continue on. Plants, fungi, animals, fish, and most of all sapients, were their main targets. Should they successfully wipe out life on the world, they'd move on to another and repeat the cycle, leaving any notable resources behind.
=== Gorron Armada ===
The fleet, often sparsed around space to avoid being wiped out in a single blow, consisted of an estimated >14,000 non-fighter craft. The majority of ships were what was designated Type-V's, the housing ships where the bulk of Gorron lived. The other ships ranged from large command vessels to smaller anti-fighter corvettes, along with a handful of cargo and luxury craft.
The fleet's flagship was designated Gorron Prime, a massive colony ship that housed countless fighter craft and a significant portion of the Gorron Army. It's firepower rivaled entire fleets on it's own, but nevertheless was always found leading the majority of the Gorron Armada.
* Type-I: Command ships such as the Gorron-A or Gorron-B. Usually the largest in a fleet. Held around 150 fighters.
* Type-II: Battleships that sometimes dwarfed command ships, the fleets ultimate firepower. Contained 50 or so fighters.
* Type-III: Destroyers that had less firepower than Type-II's but made up for it with additional fighters (Estimated 100-110).
* Type-IV:  Corvettes that lacked fighters or serious firepower. Smaller than the other combat ships, their sole purpose was screening against fighters and bombers.
* Type-V: Gorron dwellings. Most inhabitants of the galaxy would've found their interiors and environments uncomfortable and decrepit.
* Type-VI: Large cargo freighters, perhaps the only ships in the empire without weapons. Few were ever seen.
* Type-VII: Commonly called "Mall Ships", Type-VII's were comparable to what others in the galaxy would think of as starliners. They were massive shopping centers and areas of worship, along with various barracks and training facilities. Stationed roughly 100 fighters.
* Type-VIII: Gorron Prime, the sole member of its class, was the mothership of the empire. The largest and most powerful vessel in the fleet, Gorron Prime was the main headquarters and beating heart of Gorron society. It was everything from housing to community to fortress, and its destruction sealed the Empires fate.
* Type-IX: The Gorron-class Fighter, which filled the roles of both fighter and bomber. Assigned a class after the invasion, making Type-IX a post-war classification.
Please Note: The actual names and designations of Gorron craft are unknown, and all titles are derived from coalition-military appointments.
== History ==
Little is known of the Gorron due to their immediate hostility and lack of physical records. There are 2 widely accepted theories:
# The Gorron waged war throughout their own galaxy before running out of enemies. With their sole purpose being warfare, additional targets were needed to avoid a total collapse. If at the very least, they were getting bored.
# Some catastrophic event decimated all feasible food and water sources, dooming all life if they did not relocate and forge a new empire. 
Another popular theory combining the two suggests the Gorron may have destroyed all viable life and resources in their galaxy through potentially millennia of warfare. To avoid starvation and regression into primitivity, they fled to the Alycine Galaxy in search of more plunder.
There lies no record of any Gorron, captive or otherwise, documenting their history or beliefs. Little infrastructure outside a few farms exists, and none of it more than a few years old. Without confirmation from either a living Gorron or written chronicles, any speculation on their history or origins will have to remain unanswered.
Plans to send teams to the Gorron Cluster have been ongoing for a while. Archaeologist are eager to see what lies in the mysterious system, but several roadblocks hinder their investigation. The cluster is far away, and current technology can only guarantee researchers could reach their destination but not return. There's no telling what kind of conditions they'd encounter in the clusters space, too much pressure could destroy their spacecraft upon entrance. Perhaps the greatest obstacle is a cautious public, who are weary of encountering more Gorron and starting another great conflict.
== Remnants ==
To the knowledge of the galaxy, no Gorron individuals or buildings remain. Occasional spacecraft, sometimes with the pilot still inside, can be found in fragments across the stars from either battle or other destructive causes.
Gorron tech is strictly regulated in any notable nation. Many secure these technologies for storage in museums or containment facilities, while numerous others simply destroy them. 
As Gorron mechanization and science aren't much more advanced than galactic standards, only unique or powerful pieces are studied. For better or worse though, most noteworthy technologies were lost in their downfall.
