Galactic Empires

Throughout the history of the Galaxy, a number of civilisations ruled over a portion large enough to encompass much of its area.

## (First) Celestial Empire - **Eimaranda Empire**

See also: Celestial Age for prior events, First Age

The Eimares, under the Eimāranda Empire, were the earliest civilisation in the universe, and the first to rule over most of the Galaxy. It collapsed as it was split between two factions, the magical Hjokkunzar and the mechanical Thamunzar.

It was also when the Vigefionians (Gweudetonians) and Imdegabat (then known as Nabenans) came into existence.

A group of Celestials protected the planet Novantir and its inhabitants from being enslaved by other Celestials, and also taught them to become a civilisation. These Celestials are later worshipped as gods in Novantirna mythology. According to legends, Odin and other Star Gods later visited that world. Appointing that civilisation as the successors of the corrupt Celestial Empire, he taught them mortality and magic.

## First Galactic Empire - **Anevondir Empire**

See also: Second Age, Malendor timeline

The Anevondir -- a pale humanoid race -- exterminated the Celestials, but quickly fell into chaos with the death of its founding emperor. It forbade any form of religion, but worshipped its Jellyfish Emperors.

It was known as the "first" of the Galactic Empires as it was the first of those ruled by mortals, not powerful beings like Celestials.

During that era, the first true humans, the Londurilli, established colonies at the galactic northwest and centre-south.

The Anevondir attempted to invade Jerde, but were repelled. Since their defeat, storms have surrounded Jerde's star system, isolating it from any future invaders.

## Second Galactic Empire

This empire, an Nabenan empire, was broken by factionalism and warlords.

At the start of this empire's era, the Celestials and the first mortal king of their civilisation, Druvara, returned to their home dimension from Novantir (then known as Sadřavan). Afterwards, the forces of Sadřavan spread throughout the Galaxy, to the extent that its stability made some historians classify it as the Second Galactic Empire instead of the volatile Nabenan civilisation.

The Nabenans first established relations with the Londurilli after a picnic of Nabenans stumbled upon a Londurilli city, mistaking it for a ruin. They were sent back on a rich starship, and another ship of Nabenan diplomats was sent to establish relations between the two kingdoms.

The Sôzarïl, a demonic civilisation, emerged into the northern Galaxy after several people wrote the "s" rune multiple times at once. It was most likely due to a curse, silently placed by an unknown wizard, to sabotage the Sadravan civilisation for rejecting him. After a costly war that exterminated much of Sadravan's western territories, the Sôzarïl were exorcised back to Hell.

The turning point of the Sozaril War was at the eastern marches of the Londurilli, where the demons were simply scared of the humans' impressively-advanced, incomprehensible technology. That alone allowed the Londurilli to annihilate the demonic fleets with just plasma barrages. The Nabenans, though upset and humbled, thanked the Londurilli for saving them from total destruction.

## Third to Fourth Empires - **Rynavont Empire**

These Galactic Empires were ruled by successive dynasties of Anevondir emperors, who later became the Rynvants.

At the Third Age, the tribal king Saneron founded the Igarin civilisation at his homeworld of Gausari. After his death, he was worshipped as a sun god, and his kingdom of Ösalker waged war against the Nabenan civilisation of Kumarum to plunder its riches.

Irnanos, Emperor of Sadřavan, formed the Gïlâleir to exterminate all other peoples, seeing the Galaxy as nothing more than his playground. In his wars against the Anevondir emperors, he attempted to create a superhuman race, but he and his lords were killed in battle, plunging his empire into civil war.

During the Great Sleep, Novantir and its nearby star systems were taken through a black hole and locked into a pocket dimension by several officials.

The Brosaddar humans emerged from a tri-point where the borders of Sadravan, the Londurilli, and Nabena met, unleashing savagery upon the northern Galaxy in the name of the same Aesir that the Sadravaes worshipped.

The few aliens that managed to get past the storms surrounding Jerde's solar system returned with reports that the planet appeared to "bleed".

At the twilight of the Fourth Age, Sadřavan was ruled by the theocratic Čarvasari. Its final dynasty before the Norse Invasions was the Ilvanil Dynasty, ruled by such wicked tyrants such as Borachil the Desecrator and Chirana the Cruel. Emperor Borachil abused his powers to steal magical energy from holy sites, unleashing more demons that attacked the northern Galaxy. Emperor Chirana later attempted to tame the demons as his beasts of war against the Vigefionians, until he was defeated by a coalition of worshippers of Makravalas, Odin, and Lumbariz.

The last ruler three years before the Freyrgardian raids was Achilkor, a reformist who became cruel out of hatred of the Norse humans. After that, he abdicated and gave the throne to his vizier Nelanda, who was an arch-director of a great scientific programme reated to the Celestial Gates.

## Fifth Galactic Empire - **Rynavont Domain**

During the Fifth Galactic Empire, the Nabenan civilisation was known as the Kuramerum. The Fifth Galactic Empire was known as the Rynavont Domain, notorious for its cannibalism; its rivals included the human Londuril kingdoms of the northwest, Kuramerum in the north, and Čarvasari to the east.

Londuril consisted of a league of powerful kingdoms (and a few republics) populated mostly by humans. These realms were known for their elaborate funerary rites and their usage of electricity as a sacred weapon of their main god, Terakhon.

Kuramerum dominated the galactic north, establishing a network of colonies and tributaries across hundreds of star systems. They were known for their gold-plated spacecraft and vehicles.

To the east, Čarvasari became a galactic power as its gods permitted its kings to send their fleets beyond their domain to build their empire. Using their preserved knowledge, they either rebuilt ruined Celestial Gates, or constructed new ones on crossroads for their fleets to quickly navigate the Galaxy. They also contacted other civilisations and shared their knowledge of Celestial technology, such as with Vigefion and the Nagiruge kingdoms.

At around the Fifth Galactic Empire, the Nagiruge have constructed the first Celestial Gates since the extermination of the Celestials ages ago, and used them to quickly navigate across the Galaxy to explore it. However, one of these portals unleashed armies of Celestials, who sought to establish a second Celestial Empire to dominate the mortals of the Galaxy. This led to wars between the decaying Rynavonts, the growing Carvasari, and the vengeful Celestials. But in this three-way galactic war, the human Freyrgardians kept winning and taking the spoils.

Several aliens, especially the cannibalistic Rynavonts, managed to get past the storms and raid Freyrgard's people as livestock: instead, the captured humans multiplied into a ferocious horde. The humans also multiplied via cloning, building formidable armies of raiders and saboteurs that carved their own bloody dominions in the central Galaxy. The resulting chaos fuelled the other galactic powers, who took in the thousands of refugees that fled from the Rynavonts' savagery and the humans' wrath. These humans later formed a federation of monarchies, the Bond of Vengeance.

Three centuries after the war against the Rynavonts, two warlords attempted to turn every Freyrgardian into having either yellow or red hair. The resulting war, the "Hair Wars", was later regarded by the Galaxy' historians as "the most stupid and pointless war of all time".

During that time, Valgeta was colonised. After several centuries of feeding its people to the remaining Anevondir, it was unified under a matriarchy. Its empire either waged wars against the other civilisations to expand its dominion and create more hive colonies, or seduced the flimsier human Freyrgardians to produce their hybrids, who in turn betrayed their kin.

## Sixth Galactic Empire - **Vargaxal, Armasol**

The Sixth Galactic Empire consisted of three (or eight) human-ruled civilisations. The earliest of these human civilisations, Vargaxal, defeated the Fifth Galactic Empire by razing its capital and slaughtering its emperors. The Vargaxal were once a kingdom of Freyrgardians who were empowered by technology stolen from slain Celestials.

Some Valgetan fleets invaded other worlds to kill and eat the inhabitants, and among those cannibalistic domains were the despots of Xarmal, Xormais, and Orxila, who hunted for humans to devour. One kingdom of exiles of mixed Freyrgardian-Londurilli descent, the Armasols, defeated the despots and enslaved their beasts, ending the Valgetan cannibals' threat in the northwestern Galaxy. The Armasols became the last stage of the Sixth Galactic Empire.

At the same time, other planets were colonised by other clones of the Vigefionians and runaway clones, infesting the norther Galaxy with their bizarre tyrannies.

Four Valgetan Princesses - Elurix, Tranderix, Gardax, and Alvia - invaded Gausari and founded twenty-seven cities on the planet. They waged wars to conquer the planet until they were finally driven out a hundred years later. Ever since, the three Gausarian nations waged a war of extermination on all Multadlo clones, and attempted to invade Vigefion.

Novantir existed as the Kingdom of Rêsaivaras, a prosperous kingdom. Before the rise of the Lysandreans, this kingdom was torn apart in a worldwide civil war over conflicting interpretations of the Celestials' religion: in the west, Alâban cared more about the Celestials' technology, while Vraneras in the east worshipped the Celestials.

The last of three successive Galactic Empire civilisations was Armasol, a mixed Londurilli-Norse human nation.

## Seventh Galactic Empire - **Lysandrean Empire**

The Kingdom of Lysandre rose the power as the Seventh Galactic Empire, ruling over a large swathe of the Galaxy and dominating the Freyrgardian peoples as its overlord. The Lysandreans were a sophisticated and handsome people known for their love of music and literature: this made them a target of raids by smaller, warlike Freyrgardian states, whose raiders met their end by a hail of laser fire.

Lysandre battled against the Third Celestial Empire to the north, and the Suvokkon Hords to the southwest. In the western Galaxy, they fought against the previous Galactic Empire, the Armasols, and prevailed.

Occasionally, the Lysandreans visited Jerde, and the curious locals went on expeditions to other planets across the Galaxy, returning with knowledge of distant systems and wealth.

During the Seventh and Eighth Galactic Empires, the Suvokkon Hordes have multiplied until they became a serious threat to Galactic security. Valgeta also waged war against another hive, the Raviexe, until the former won and killed much of the defeated Raviexe into paste-like food, and the remaining Raviexe went into hiding.

One Emperor of Lysandre, Asmund Grenspjos, took in hundreds of Raviexe as border guards against Valgetan raids: his court and his armies were disgusted by the Raviexe and Valgetans, especially in their hive minds and their cannibalism.

Novantir existed as the Republic of Alâban in the west, and the Theocracy of Vraneras in the east. Both civilisations on Novantir exchaned technology with the Lysandreans' civilisation, while maintaining an uneasy stalemate that oscillated between wary trade relations and skirmishes along the Red Meridians.

Even though the civilisation of Vraneras worshipped the Celestials, they wisely rejected the Third Celestial Empire, viewing them as murderous, sadistic tyrants who disobeyed the holy will of their Celestial gods; and as much as they tried to avoid a devastating war with the Third Celestial Empire, they only fought against them to defend their allies from extermination and slavery.

The explorer Hlaarudorl, who became immortal, fought against the Celestials, but became one. He was corrupted into becoming a Celestial.

## Eighth Galactic Empire

See also: Eighth Age

Under the Eighth Galactic Empire, the two-headed Aspuruk invaded Jerde, but were repelled. They were remembered as the Ettin-Lords, and their technology that they left behind was used by the Tuksharans, Daizhouvians, Darroskei, Dashadeshan, and Kikorian civilisations; together, these human civilisations formed the Ecumene, an alliance dedicated to protecting the planet from alien invasion. It was also the time when the decadent Vigefionians started creating and torturing artificial beings on Wosono as mockeries of their civilisation's excesses.

The Raviexe of the eastern Galaxy waged war against the industrial Arvontoi, and were mostly defeated.

Novantir existed as the Kingdom of Rêsaivaras (6th Empire), the Republic of Alâban (7th Empire), the Theocracy of Vraneras (7-8th Empires), and the Empire of Simarvi (8th-9th Empires)

The Valgetans spread their empire across the Galaxy, promising peace and protection from the chaos of the other Multadlo and Aspuruks, only to feed on those who accepted their whims. Angered by so much destruction unleashed on the galaxy, the Kingdom of Simarvi waged a great crusade to slaughter the Valgetans, joined by countless fleets built by the Valgetans' victims. This was when the Orloi, separated Valgetans who were also the targets of Valgetan hunts, emerged from hiding to join the Simarvi crusaders.

## Ninth Galactic Empires - **Vigefion/Valgeta**

The Valgetans returned to their ruined, abandoned homeworld. Even as they managed to spread across half of the galaxy, their empire was limited to a scattered amount of star systems, increasingly isolated by other empires.

The Galaxy was divided between the Vigefionians and the resurgent Valgetans, who regarded each other as a mistake. As both of them were powerful enough to nearly dominated the Galaxy, both civilisations were regarded as the "Ninth Galactic Empire".

The Wosonoi developed into two races: the noble Epadwaranai and the barbaric Arnadjanai. The latter were driven towards an eastern continent. These two races were spared from extermination as their rulers -- a team of scientists -- continued to observe and torment them for their civilisation's amusement.

The Wirawons, more clones created by the Vigefionians, thrived along the northern Galactic hub. They were spared from the Vigefionians' attempted exterminations for providing aid, while a few Wirawon colonies either defected to Valgeta or Nabena.

## Tenth Galactic Empire - **Kuramerum Empire**

This empire was ruled by the Kuramerum, which rose to power during the Ninth Galactic Empire. The Kuramerum Empire led the Galaxy into a golden age. It was during their era when they began the belief in "Mandate of Heaven", in which their emperors claimed to derive their authority from the gods.

The Kuramerum were able to defeat the Valgetan cannibal hordes, earning them the favour of many liberated worlds and harvested peoples.

Makirta, Sraverta, and Drasera went from Valgeta, preaching the Transcendence religion to various planets. Among their converts included the Naumakanir Arnadjanai.

At the middle of their era, the Vigefionian Empire dominated the southern half of the Galaxy to challenge the Kuramerumat. They built clone armies to conquer more star systems.

During the Tenth Age, two alien fleets fought over the jungles of Porashon. Their wreckage left behind a vast deposit of gold and minerals that was buried in the mountains over the next millennia - though the Kekhaulid tribes and the occasional Gauvajut managed to mine the gold and minerals, leading to greater riches and opulence. The deposits were capable of growing in ever-stretching veins, fed by water and sunlight.

During the prime of that age, the automaton Kojarena (Koerennus) was created as a butler to lord Adatwedeno (Ardatvenius). He rebelled and led his own kingdom of automatons at the planet of Kawaterija, until he was defeated by several warlords. Shortly after his death, the gods recreated Kojarena as a spirit, and he haunted the Vigefionians' machines by turning them to rebel against their masters.

During that time, Novantir existed as the Kingdom of Kozandai. It reestablished relations with the Celestials.

## Eleventh Galactic Empire - **Arigathon Empire**

This empire was ruled by the Arigathon, which are now extinct. The Arigathon Empire was a brief empire that ruled with much cruelty, and it ended by plunging the Galaxy into perpetual war.

During that time, three world wars broke out on the planet Gausari. The third of these wars was fought between fifty-six countries under three anti-theist alliances, which in turn collapsed and were reorganised into several different empires. It ended when the Poreses empire prevailed over the Monterjo civilisation and its rivals, dominating its home planet. It expelled the other races from its homeworld to other parts of the Galaxy.

On Wosono, the Arnadjanai tribes waged war against their Vigefionian masters and spread throughout the Galaxy, founding the Sarendar pirate tribes. During that time, Vigefion was ruled by six kings and one queen: Thanexon, Xarexon, Karitkausaro, Wanzaxo, Iriditwon, Duronboskon, and Herebatai. Herebatai referred herself as a "King" to make herself an equal of the other six rulers.

Vigefion was taken over by a invasion led by Princess Radaxuri, who became a queen of her own kingdom. She attempted to turn Vigefion into a hive like her homeworld, but her attempts to modify the Vigefionians ended in failure and her kingdom was quarantined. Radaxuri's kingdom, Radaxar, was the only nation in Vigefion that ate their dead bodies, to the disgust of its neighbours.

Responding to the growing chaos sweeping across the Galaxy, the later kingdom of Čarvasari formed its own empire, the Domain of Iravil, and housed thousands of refugees, protecting them from the surrounding bloodshed.

## Twelfth Galactic Empire - **Poreseai Empire**

The Poreseai Empire competed against the Pilakurum Empire, and prevailed to such an extent that it became the Twelfth. Eleven emperors ruled the Poreseai and guided it until its decline.

It was during that era when Arentos was attacked by suvokkon; and when Jerde was frozen by volcanoes, caruing the Great Night.

After their exile, the Noskowi grifa race mutated into the monstrous Kuelgons. Meanwhile, the Gedravas were welcomed into the planet of Novantir (then known as the Kingdom of Taranari), building an advanced civilisation alongside the natives.

## Thirteenth to Early Fourteenth Empires - **Pilakurum Empire**

These two empires were ruled by Nabenans, ancestors of the Imdegabat.

The Thirteenth Galactic Empire was most likely the Pilakurum Empire.

The Uehadiñ Expedition was launched by the Taranari (Novantirnas), who sought to regain contact with their allies after the Ueladiñ Recovery from the Twenty-Sixth Collapse.

## Fourteenth Galactic Empire(s) - **Kûwarim Empire**

The middle Fourteenth Galactic Empire was ruled by the Kûwarim race. Under their emperor Liwarok, they invaded Luril, but were repelled when the native Lurillim turned their technology against them.

The latter Fourteenth Galactic Empire was ruled by a pale humanoid race. It carved off societies filled with dissenting ideologies into their own planets, isolated from the rest of the Galaxy. It forced its citizens to become so "happy" that they were disfigured into the ever-smiling Juretorij.

This was when Valgeta was destroyed by a supernova. Its former territories were colonised by the adjacent Londurilli and Freyrgardian humans, the Rûmaral, and the Wirawons, who fought each other and the parasitical Raviexe for control of those planets: the Valgetan Scramble. Any surviving Valgetans were either enslaved or taken in as concubines or spouses.

Mesraulo was at the southeastern edge of the Kuwarim Empire, used as a trash dump. At the middle of the 15th Galactic Empire, it was abandoned and covered with swamp forests.

## Fifteenth Galactic Empire - **Terejakon Kingdom**

The Fifteenth Galactic Empire, the Tejerakon Kingdom, was a brief rule.

It was known for creating societies of clones that were produced to breed and live in luxury. Some of these clone nests were later enslaved by barbaric armies.

## Sixteenth Galactic Empire - **Barâbyol Ascendancy**

See also: Sixteenth Age

The Sixteenth Galactic Empire, the Barâbyol Ascendancy, was ruled by the Kuelgons, a race of shapeshifters and sorcerers related to the Poreseai that banished their ancestors. It was characterised by frequent cases of mutation and cruelty.

The storms that isolated Jerde from galactic contact have subsided. With it came attempts by Jerde's civilisations to contact allies beyond the stars, from the Freyrgardians, to the Londurilli and the divided Novantir realm of Iltorana.

The Eighth Celestial Empire materialised in the eastern Galaxy, waging war against the Kuelgons and the Narivalans (Novantirnas) to reclaim their technology. Three great battles opened rifts into the spirit realm, unleashing horrific ghosts and magical storms into interstellar space. Even worse was a wave of humans from various other worlds, known as "Terrans" or "Americans", whose embittered cruelty have made them recruited among the Sixteenth Galactic Empire's armies. The latter name was due to the belief that many of the Terrans came from a culture known as "Amerika".

One of the Terrans was the richest man in the Sixteenth Galactic Empire, if not the whole Galaxy. He was Nefta Bobby, a professional scammer who stole from trillions of victims across the eastern Galaxy without sending a single soldier, plunging Narivala into poverty. This led to the Thiassi War between the Sixteenth Galactic Empire and Narivala along the east, while Nefta fled further away with his immense wealth and partygoers, until at last all of them were burned to death by a solar storm. Many of the human fleets were later destroyed by the Celestials and the Narivalans.

Two Narivalan member kings, Bar'hona and Ilchôzil, defected to the Terran Empire. They were supposed to be murdered, but the Terran Emperors welcomed them as heroes. They indirectly supported the Massacres of Pulokai and Turulzor, and for their crimes, their souls were cursed.

To this day, "nefta" became a curse word among the Galactics against any human of Terran descent. The four languages of the Terran Empire, whose prohibition became the reason for the Terran "special operations" against the Narivalans and Norse humans, were banned and mocked as the speech of villains.

To the east, some Terrans created a new superpower, a small but growing dystopia bent on hate, supremacy, and hypocrisy. The Terran Empire, a bizarre, militarised nation bent on war against nearly all others, terrorised the east over the pettiest excuse, including any attempts to forbid their languages. It and the remnants of the Barabyol Empire annihilated each other.

Many years after the coming of the Terrans, the death of a certain emperor from Jerde was accompanied by the sudden appearance of hundreds of new stars, as if from out of nowhere. The Barabyol Ascendancy sought to harvest them, but most of the ships who extracted any fuel were quickly burned by what was described as a "magical storm".

## Seventeenth Galactic Empire

The Seventeenth Galactic Empire consisted of three dynasties: Nisovari, Vigefionian, and Joidoril.

The Multadlos of the northern Galaxy formed an alliance against the Vigefionian Empire, their oppressive creators.

The Ninth Celestial Empire emerged with eight other civilisations in the northern edge of the Galactic Hub. As the Celestials enslaved and devoured countless spellcasters, the Novantirnas gave up their magical abilities, offering it to their god Odin to ensure they will not be eaten by the Celestials. Though they were unable to use their own magic, the Novantirnas prevailed over the Celestials by destroying their nexuses, weakening them. They were especially aided by the Rukthaneh and the Atsodanian Novantirnas, who used the dangerous Ninth Lore to destroy any Celestial who tried to eat them.

With the destruction of the Ninth Celestial Empire, much of the northern Galaxy was emptied of life. The Novantirnas attempted to repopulate the northern worlds with cloned plants and beings together with more Freyrgardians, but aside from the Terran humans and Resparins, the Kuelgons dominated the emptied worlds.

## Eighteenth Galactic Empire - **Old** **Igarin Empire**

The Eighteenth Galactic Empire was dominated by several dynasties of Igarins. Two incidents marked this empire's history: the Plague Wars waged against the Old Konjor Supercorporation, and the purges against its own poor over the cannibalistic riot of Pelgurna.

To quickly end the Old Konjor Supercorporation's threat, the Igarin emperors detonated plague bombs over their enemies' homeworlds: the viruses reduced their victims into cannibalistic savages, and the Igarin navy incinerated all life on those planets.

Furthermore, the Eighteenth Galactic Empire had put an end to the Suvokkon parasites' threats by exterminating them and their hives.

500 years before the founding of Nandegakko, a man in a fancy mustache warned the President of Great Novantir to tear down his walking city and arrest the sycophrants around him, to prevent them from using their influence to corrupt the Novantir realm into a dystopia. He did not listen to the stranger, and so some of the officials worsened the Theocracy of Novantir into superstition.

As if it were in agreement to him, a volcano that erupted near the site of the old Magical Academy erupted, burning empty villages who were immediately evacuated from the smallest signs of an eruption. It and the earthquake that damaged the site were taken as warnings from the Gods, who warned the Novantirnas about infiltrators within their ranks.

## Nineteenth Galactic Empire - **Igarin Empire**

See also: Igarin Empire

The Nineteenth Galactic Empire was ruled by a single Igarin dynasty, and it was more ruthless as it slaughtered more people to appease their solar deity Faneson.

Several other enemies rose up during this Empire's existence: from the revived Konjor Supercorporation and its rivals, to rebels such as the Free Igarin Alliance and the remnants of the subjugated republic of Nandegakko. Nandegakko was founded by Igarin exiles during the early years of this empire's existence, and was then subjugated for around a thousand years due to its strategic location. The humans of the "American" cultures joined the Konjors, as many of them were unwelcome in most other realms.

This civilisation was notorious for killing off its poor, after a rebellion devoured its elites. The emptied parts of the Galaxy were repopulated by obedient clone slaves and robots.

Möwaröfan I, the emperor of the Igarin Empire, waged his dark crusades against the resurgent Konjors and their human armies, who were more brutal and savage than before. At the same, in the northeast, the warlord Rigara was aided by the Crusader Fleets to overthrow the Theocracy of Novantir, establishing the Malendor Supercorporation as a counterpart to Konjor disorder.

The Konjor empire destroyed the planet of Arentos to punish its rebellion, triggering catastrophes in nearby star systems. Angered by the destruction of a civilisation attuned with the Celestials, other civilisations waged war against the Konjors.

## "Twentieth Galactic Empire"

See also: Sarmelonid Era

Divided between the Galactic Community, the Konjor and Malendor Supercorporations, and the Vozonid Empire.

## Neo-Malendor Technocracy/Pharoman Collective

* 824 BG - The Neo-Malendor Technocracy becomes the dominant galactic superpower, accelerating technological progress after a prior galactic war.
* 745-732 BG - The Kingdom of Vigefion secedes from the Neo-Malendor Technocracy, and successfully defends its independence from the Neo-Malendor fleets.
* 602 BG - The disfigured descendants of the Kuelgons spread throughout the Galaxy. One warlord among them becomes their emperor, and he establishes the cruel Dondei Empire.
* 580s BG - Pharoman Collective dominates the Galaxy using a hive mind, waging war against the monstrous Dondei Empire.
* 480s BG - The Neo-Konjor Supercorporation is established at the shrine-planet of Kelgonia, and begins its wars against the Pharoman Collective and its Dondei enemies.
* 460s-449 BG - The Pharoman Collective is pushed back by the Dondei's mutated armies.
* 459 BG - The First Siege of Vigefion is waged by the Dondei. After the latter's defeat, the Vigefionian king orders three crusades to drive the Dondei out of their domain.
* 402 BG - The Pharoman Collective is overthrown by Commander Ferigos. He re-establishes the Cyan Senate to govern the Galaxy under a democratic regime, and is elected as its first President.

## Cyan Senate

See also: Jauparturnid Era

Thousands of years later, a revived Cyan Senate became the next Galactic Empire. It was challenged by dozens of rebels, a rebellious Kingdom of Vigefion, the Jaupartūrnid Dynasty, and the Vurezoi Empire.

## Ontemazei Interregnum

After the Cyan Senate's fleets bombed the planet Luril, its bereaved clones created their own empire, the Ontemazei Empire. The Ontemazei Empire was bent on punishing its aggressors, and its quest for revenge spiralled into a campaign of galactic omnicide.

## Mahad Empire

Another race of humanoids, the Mahads, created their own empire in the wake of an anarchic Galaxy.

## Galactic barbarism

Currently, the Galaxy was in a state of barbarism, where cannibalism and ritual violence was widespread. One dominant faction in the northern Galaxy was the Abductors, a league of dictatorships and empires.

Opposing them are various human and grifa-led alliances scattered across the galactic south, aided by a resurgent wave of Celestials that reappeared throughout the Galaxy ...

## Trivia

* From the Tenth Galactic Empire onwards, every galactic civilisation believed in a "Mandate of Heaven", in which its rulers claimed to be the rightful authority of the Galaxy. In the case of the Kumamerum Empire, its emperors claimed to rule the Galaxy on behalf of their god An, and their crusades against the Valgetan cannibals were done in the sky god's name.
* The "Mandate of Heaven" was inspired by the Chinese concept of the same name.

### The nature of absolute good

Some civilisations hate creatures and beings that are too benevolent or "nice", as they consider such an exceptionally-virtuous attitude to be too unrealistic for a cruel world. They murder them to force things to be more "realistic", and among their victims were the Crusader Fleets and the hirhueh.

* One reason was because they think that people who happened to be "too good" might be part of a hive mind, perhaps manipulated by the Celestials or their "gods".
* This idea was how the author reconciled beings and creatures who are "infallibly good" in a cynical, almost-realistic world. In such a dystopian setting, they will be murdered and hated for being too suspicious, as they will refuse to commit certain acts (like mass murder, torture, etc.).
* However, those civilisations would gladly win them over by tempting the "too good" ones.
