**The Terran Empire** is an interstellar fascist empire and dominant within the Mirror Universe, it's home universe. It originates from the Sci-Fi series *Star Trek*.

It is portrayed by Ashley.

## Overview

### Government

The Empire is primarily fascist, with an Emperor/Empress in charge. It rules with an iron fist, choosing a violent approach to any uprisings. The *Imperial Starfleet* is the primary military of the Empire.

### Culture

Terrans often have a sense of distrust for other Terrans, and murder is very common within the empire. Although de jure illegal and possibly ending up in death (or a rough while in an agonizer booth), *de facto*, someone could kill someone of a high rank and take their position, an interesting approach to the idea of *kratocracy.*

Terrans are also famous for their betrayals of those outside the empire too, like their infamous betrayal against "The Empire of Afinity" in the 2200s, although ending up in the demise of the First Terran Empire.

## History

### First Terran Empire: Formation

In 2063, Doctor *Zefram Cochrane* invented warp-speed technology after the Third World War. This led to the *Vulcans* discovering them, and initiating a First Contact with the new Warp-capable species. In the Federations timeline, there was peace, but in the Mirror Universe, the Terrans immediately shot the Vulcans and took their ship. This accelerated the growth and expansion of the Empire.

### First Terran Empire: Downfall

In 2267, the Terran Empire had first injected itself into the Timeline of the Federation, and making an alliance with the *Empire of Afinity.* Eventually, the Terrans chose to betray the EoA, which ended up in Afinity Forces sneaking onto the original Imperial Flagship and causing it to explode, killing the former Empress in charge, and causing turmoil within the Terran Empire. The empire collapsed into several factions, some claiming to be the successor to the empress.

### Second Terran Empire: Restoration

In the 2300s, the Terrans, then under the control of forces originally oppressed by the empire, rose up against the new oppressors. The *ISS Defiant* was constructed after stealing technology from the Federation in it's own timeline for the original *Defiant-class Warship*, and using it, along with a cloaking device, to help win against the new oppressors. The Empire was soon reformed after the retaking of Terra, and a new Emperor was put in charge.

### First Terran-Federation War (2389-2393)

The Terrans soon began returning to their old, imperialistic ways, going back to conquering, and returning to the Federation's timeline to begin another expedition. The Terrans soon came into contact with the Federation in the *Hernandez System* in 2389. The Federation sought peace between them and the Empire, wishing for no further expansion, but the Terrans responded by opening fire on the *USS Nelson*.

In 2393, the Terrans were pushed out of the Federation's universe, and the Federation had now entered the Mirror Universe. the final battle took place in the *Arcadia System* of the Mirror Universe, when the combined 45th and 2nd Fleets, led by Fleet Admiral Matthew Tiberius Martell, obliterated the Mirror 2nd Fleet, ending the war, and leaving the *Imperial Starfleet* in ruins.

### NCRP: A Slow Recovery

The Emperor at the time had not died, but soon was killed by *Empress Martell* due to the former Emperor being deemed a failure due to the Terrans loosing the war. *The Executor* also took over Imperial Starfleet, resulting in a slow recovery and further upgrades to the Starships of the empire.
