Empire G

G is the generic name given to an empire that once reigned on what is now the continent of Intor in ancient times. It was most known for the reign of G the Conqueror, who began his "Holy war" against all non-human races in an attempt to eradicate them from the continent, and expand the empire's reach.
For the most part, this page will focus on the elements that are somewhat related to the RUC/Syndicate.
== History ==
=== The "Holy War" ===
One of the most infamous events for the empire, and most relevant to the contents of this wiki, the "Holy War" began in the year xx when Emperor G, wanting to expand his and he empire's reach, made a proclamation to the citizens of the empire; that humanity is under siege from the "Hellspawn" race (categorizing the various non-human races as a single race), and that the empire must combat this threat and eliminate all "Hellspawns" to make the continent a safe place for humanity. He was able to take advantage of some of the border clashes and raids from neighboring countries, which lead to a population that was already primed for disgust and hatred towards the other races. In addition, Emperor G promised citizens of the empire that the lands, after being "cleansed of Hellspawns," will be theirs for the taking, and encouraged them to move out and settle into the newly conquered regions.
Emperor G was able to amass much support for his campaign, and even had several neighboring nation-states (of primarily human populations of course) submit to his will, allowing him to expand the empire's territories and face little to no resistance in the process.
The "Holy War" was one of the largest scale campaigns conducted in Intor history, and is particularly unique in one respect; it was a war that, while gaining territory and expansion was one of its goals, its primary objective was the mass slaughter of entire populations of non-human races. Many wars in the past tended to be brutal, and had large civilian casualties, but most of them did not go out of their way to actively seek out and kill civilians. Even some of the more brutal rulers that were invaded by the empire were surprised at the extremes they went in their campaign. Records have even stated that the empire's army would actually halt their advance in newly conquered territories for months just to hunt down survivors and anyone in hiding.
Due to the nature of the campaign, any tactic was on the table for the empire. In territories they invaded, they would actively raze farmlands, kill livestock and toss away the corpses, poison the water supplies, among other things they could do to render the entire area uninhabitable. While this does deprive the defending army of rations, the main objective was to starve the population to death. Besides this, other tactics included kidnapping children, civilians, etc. and using them as meat shields against the defending army as a way of breaking their will to fight.
=== Downfall ===
In the end however, the campaign would prove to be the empire's downfall, for a variety of reasons. The campaign stretched the empire incredibly thin due to the large amount of territories they conquered, and strained their economy as well. Due to the aforementioned tactics they used in invaded territories to render them uninhabitable, the lands became impossible to actually settle in. What this meant was that they could not make use of the newly acquired territories to produce neither food nor supplies, which also means having to transport more from imperial territory over longer and more grueling distances. Resentment also built up in some imperial citizens who were promised they could make their homes in the newly acquired territories.
There was also another factor, in that the empire's methods and goals caused the invaded countries to resist their advance even harder than they normally would. The empire was out to slaughter every single non-human they could find; there were cases where some territories surrendered to the empire under the promise that they would be unharmed, only for the empire to slaughter them all anyways after they laid down their weapons. Potential collaborators were also killed on sight, without even being given a chance to assist the empire in their campaign. All of this sent a clear message to the invaded countries; that surrendering was not an option. 
==== Assassination and [CT] ====
The empire's decline hastened after the assassination of the conqueror/Emperor G by [CT], a collection of people from various regions on the continent, who were headquartered in what is now [DMS]. Rumors suggest that they fought through leagues of imperial troops, even killing every member of the Eradicators, before reaching the imperial capital and killing Emperor G while he was bathing. With the emperor dead, and millions of troops stretched too far away to supply without straining the economy, order in the empire began to break down; many local aristocrats began attempting to seize as much power and land for themselves as they can, revolts were occurring in many different districts due to rapidly deteriorating conditions, ministers were attempting to find anyone they can to succeed Emperor G, with little success. Though it was still a slow and gradual process, as many still believed in the empire as an entity, and various regions only gradually became more independent with time.

=== Legacy ===
Though G the Conqueror had died, his actions had a massive impact on human societies on Intor, where massive segments of the population have internalized the idea of non-humans being an evil "Hellspawn" race out to harm humanity. Many of the nations that emerged after the fall of the empire continued much of its policies regarding non-humans, having every last one they can find killed or enslaved. It's not until millennia later before such policies and ideas began to recede, but much of it is still ingrained in the consciousness of many people today.
Colonial powers such as The Princedom and The Republic also saw Empire G as their "inspiration" in their bids to conquer and colonize foreign countries.
Certain groups in modern times, such as The Brigade, revere the empire and often stylize themselves after it (at least, their own perception of it), not even mentioning carrying out similar actions that they have during the "Holy War." Lately, Popeye Jr. of the Indigo Syndicate has been doing this as well, which will be detailed further down.
== Notable Figures ==
=== Emperor G ===
Emperor G is the xth emperor of Empire G, and is the one who declared a "Holy War" against the non-human races of the continent. He was responsible for many of its actions during this period, as well as instilling genocidal inclinations within the population of the empire. He is also most commonly known as G the Conqueror.
=== The Eradicators ===
The Eradicators was an elite military unit that operated under G during the conqueror's campaign against the "Hellspawn" race. As their name suggests, they were a unit that were dispatched to slaughter any non-human they encountered in invaded territories. Soldiers, prisoners, civilians, children, it did not matter, all of them were considered "beings of pure evil" to them. Their downfall came when they confronted members from [CT], whose prowess was enough to overcome and put down the Eradicators, one member at a time. As [CT] fought their way through imperial troops, many members of the Eradicators fell to them along the way as well.
When Popeye Jr. read a history book for the very first time, he learned about The Eradicators. Seeing that their ideals fit so well with his own and his father's, he decided to spend Syndicate funds on replicas of their armors and weapons so he can style some of his soldiers after them.
