Xerxes (Ancient Era)

The Xerxian Empire, or Empire of Xerxes, or simply Ancient Xerxes, was an empire within Africanus that became a dominant civilization and power since its foundation. Its capital homeworld, the desert planet of Xerxes, along with the two planets of Orbis and Isisous, were considered the founders of that empire. Its large size brought fear towards its rivals and stretched from Modern-day Xerxes to the what is now known as Styra. It enslaved many in its path for dominance over the "lesser beings", including the Amani, the Ug'gunshi, the Demaso'ki, the Judahni, and the Edanians.
Obsessed with death worship, they sacrificed those of Non-Xerxian blood and bring offerings to the death god Arkulbus. They built massive pyramids within then eastern desert worlds (with Xerxes as one of them). These structures were built not only to entomb those of dead kings, but also to be used as temples. Despite ther religious unity, this does not hide the fact that political rivalry between the ruling royal families. As a result of its corruption, rebellions grew, driving the last ruling dynasty out of power to form the Old Kingdom.

==Trivia==
*Xerxes is named after the Persian King who had ruled over the Persian Empire during its war with Greece.
*The Empire, much like the Old Kingdom that overthrew it, is based on the culture, religion, and society of Ancient Egypt. Due to its death worshipping, it is a possibility that both Xerxes and Egypt might have a similar pagan religion.
