Vaktovian Empire

The Vaktovian Empire (VAK) is a major interstellar superpower and rival to the United Americas. An oppressive, militaristic and autocratic regime, VAK has long held a history of aggression toward the United Americas and its allies, peaking in 2188 during the UWF-VAK war. 
== Internal structure ==
VAK is a major interstellar empire, with its capital located on the planet of Vaktovia, and the capital city being Vyyrahk city. VAK is an oppressive, authoritarian regime well known for their severe crackdowns on dissent, with punishments considered by most outsiders to be draconian. While VAK does have a legislative body in the Senate of Vaktovia, it is more of a ceremonial body than anything else. True authority rests in 2 main political bodies: The Legate Council, which is a council of high-ranking military officers in charge of a specific government department, and the emperor himself. The emperor wields uncontested total authority over the empire and all decisions that affect its day-to-day operations. 
=== Armed Forces ===
The Vaktovian military is one of the most powerful forces in the known galaxy. They are known for their strict selection and training process, fanatical support for their emperor, and robust focus on discipline. VAK is able to wield such a large professional standing army due to their policy that every Vaktovian citizen is a solider first and a civilian second. This means that all civilians in the empire are given some degree of military training, further enhanced by the Vaktovian Army Corps entrance program. Those in the entrance program are not considered fully fledged Vaktovian soldiers and are more or less treated as cannon fodder. Conscripts who graduate from the entrance program are sent to the Vaktovian Army Corps (VAC). 
The Vaktovian Army Corps is the second tier of the Vaktovian training regime, wherein they receive further tactical training and imperial propaganda. Soldiers in VAC are considered more of a threat than those in the entrance program and are often deployed as a shock force in large numbers ahead of Vaktovian regulars. Their true strength lies in their numbers, as VACs are known to be less tactically adept. 
After graduating from the Army Corps, they become fully fledged Vaktovian soldiers. The average Vaktovian is cunning, tactically sound, and extremely capable in combat. They prefer death over retreat as showcased during incidents such as Bloody Monday. They are known to deploy in large numbers to squash opposition and claim territory for their empire. Any veteran of a Vaktovian assault can attest to their relentlessness in combat.
