Imperial Commonwealth

## General Overview

A twisted reflection of the United Commonwealth of Planets and later Galactic Commonwealth, the *Imperial Commonwealth of Planets* is an authoritarian dictatorship from an alternate reality known as *"The Mirror Universe"* , established by former officers of the *Terran Empire* in the Milky Way Galaxy. After a succession of Emperors, Emperor Leogryn Romeli (Mirror) slaughtered his way to the top of the Imperial Throne in collusion with his devious concubine Ahnoh Echegaray (Mirror) who poisoned the entire crew of the I.S.S. Quest and murdered former Imperial Highguard Damian Edwards (Mirror) and almost killing Kytec Switchblade (Mirror) during a purge of Imperial personnel that had become a threat to the Empire.

## Established History

Established in 2419, the *Imperial Commonwealth* became aware of and entered the Black Eye Galaxy, when the *I.S.S. Warrior*, captured a Verakian Empire vessel within Terran space. After executing the crew, the Warrior was able to retrace the course of the peaceful Verakians to an *Interspatial Flexure*, which the vessel used to travel to the Black Eye Galaxy. Recruit several other ships who were dissatisfied with the Terran Empire to join them, including the *I.S.S. Quest, I.S.S. Nightshade* and *I.S.S. Hiryu*.

Once within the Black Eye Galaxy, events played out similarly to the *Prime Universe* with only a few major differences;

* These alien races were enslaved by the newly formed Imperial Commonwealth however unlike the Terran Empire, only species from the Black Eye Galaxy were enslaved as the Empire was not human-centric but Milky Way Galaxy-centric instead, with preference given to denizens of the Milky Way.

	+ Kingdom of the Siqahi
	+ Anthropian Empire
	+ Gloreen Commune
	+ Kabbalis Consortium
	+ Verakian Synth
* The Imperial Commonwealth won the war against the Umojan Empire in 2421, giving them access to *Intergalactic Frameshift Drive*, allowing them to stage surprise attacks on the Terran Empire in the Milky Way Galaxy and leading to the current *Terran/Commonwealth War* which was still going on in 2452. Throne of Umojas (Umojan Prime) was destroyed by an Enslaved Old Ones the Imperials had acquired during their suppression of Void Space in 2419.
* Concerned by the rise of the Empire in the Omega Quadrant, the peaceful Aventis Empire, under the control of House Telkana attempted to subdue the Empire in 2420, however the Imperials bought off the Rothian Glorious Imperium to attack them first, causing the Aventis Empire to be completely destroyed by the Roth, with Aventis Prime rendered a nuclear wasteland.
* Emperor Romeli then ordered a surprise attack on Roth Prime (Roth I) in 2420, during the last days before the Rothian victory, rendering the planet lifeless.
* Aaru Dedef’ti (Mirror) and Akko Kratz (Mirror) (now mostly cybernetic due to his brother's attempts to extend Chioni lifespans) lead a rebellion against the Imperial Commonwealth, which led to Dade being infected by deadly virus which killed 75% of the population for their defiance against the Empire by the I.S.S. Wynter Life, making Admiral Summer Hyacinth (Mirror) feared as a scientist for creating the plague.
* *Glint (Mirror),* under Emperor Romeli's orders began to manufacture thousands of Synth combat units in order to take over the *Adversus Galaxy* and install himself as governor.
