Empire of Sagittarius

The Empire of Sagittarius was an empire in Milky Way galaxy which existed from 2574 to 2675. It was the successor to the Sagittarian Republic, founded in 2304. The Sagittarian reputation was that of a federative, capitalist, and cosmopolitan human-dominated space empire which welcomed aliens more than the other human states, especially in comparison to the Terran Empire. This cosmopolitan policy lessened from the 2600s onwards as anti-alien sentiment grew.
For much of its history, the Sagittarian state presented itself as a rival to the Terran state as the "galactic face of humanity". Partly as a result of the long civil war with the rebellious Sagittarian Free State, it eventually lost this rivalry and became a strong ally of the Terran Empire in the 2580s. By the 2600s, it was solidly aligned to the policy of human unification under the ISTO alliance. Under the direction of a liberal-conservative and National Humanist coalition government, it entered into the Great War with the other members of the ISTO in 2665. At the end of the conflict, it was dissolved and its worlds were part of the Central Galactic Union.
