The Milkan Empire, also known as The Empire of Milky Way is a centuries-old Absolutist Monarchy, that aims to conquer all worlds from the Milky Way Galaxy. It is unknown to us when exactly the Empire was formed, but it is thought that the Barbunians, a very advanced race inhabitating the Planet Barbunia in the "suburbs" of the Galaxy, have started conquering other worlds, thus shifting into what humanity was enslaved by in the 23rd century. The Barbunians portrait themselves as an all-powerful race, with very advanced technology and, because of the bloodthirsty God-Emperor Leto II, who had somehow preserved his life with technological life-supporting system, they adopted a federalist imperial policy in which they enslave conquered worlds, transform them into highly militarized provinces, wrongly translated into English as "vassals" (like Earth-616-Vassal), and steal their resources (both inhabitants and materials). The Milkan Empire's ascension stopped when the Earthling monsters form a Totalitarian Oligarchical Collectivist Government on their planet, headed by a vampire politician called Anton Ruslanov, the World Sovereign Democratic Workers' Republic, which gained power over the Planet Earth after a long war had sent its huge army of undead beings to the Imperial Chair Homeworld, killed Leto II God-Emperor and inspired the other enslaved races to start a civil war against the Milkan-backed Troops and ultimately destroyed the planet whole planet and race, thus ending the danger for the whole Galaxy and gaining respect from all the formerly conquered races.

# The beginnings

"At the end of the Milky Way Galaxy, there is a planet, Barbunia, with very strange inhabitants. They are usual aliens... And not really. They are definitely not like us. They are not like anything we've ever seen. They have three arms, many eyes and big heads, and have been around for thousands of millions of years. Far scarier than your Liberation Army anyway. They have been headed by a divine God-Emperor, that I understood to be called Leto II, since the beginning of the beginnings. He is the one who made them believe in their supremacy over everything that lies in the Galaxy, and, determined by a militaristic hateful spirit, they started enslaving other worlds and races, stealing their resources and people and going further, thus forming what we, the humans, call "The Milkan Empire"- Quint Carroll (Benedict Marley) addressing to the Consul of the Workers' Republic, Anton Ruslanov.

The Milkan Empire is mostly a mystery for us. We don't know exactly when it emerged, but we know that it formed out of a supposed Barbunian Empire, whose civilization saw itself superior to everything else, with its ruler, Leto II, wearing the title "Ninilanth" or "Ninilonth", which meant "God-Emperor". They are likely a very old sapient race, divided into three smaller types, that had evolved through millions of years out of the same ancestor. Later, we find out that their conquest started with the rip-off of the Elder Races (the Wowrlons and the Galactic Shadow-spiders, for example) and later with the younger ones (like Humans, Centauri and Minibarys) . As the Empire expanded, it started to assimilate more and more races, and that is why the God-Emperor started to refer to his nation-state as "Milky Way Imperium", which every race called as they wanted (for example, the humans chose to call it the "Milkan Empire") as long as there were similarities with the name given by the God-Emperor and of course, total (even mindless) obedience.

# Formation of the Empire

The Empire of Milky Way Galaxy is a Federal Imperial Monarchy, with its federal subjects being called "vassals". Even though they are called like this, they are not independent states at all, this was likely an error in the English spoken by the Creed-a-Dworfs (a mercenary advanced race working for the Barbunians) when they contacted the Benefactors, or may be part of a powerful propaganda, that tries to convince its collaborators they are independent rulers of its province... until the Imperial Troops set up military bases and connects the respective planet into the Grand Imperial Network. Each vassal has a local Administration, an oligarchical institution ruled by local people of each race. The Administrator is officially the Head of Government, a kind of Prime Minister, on the respective planet, but has little political power. The God-Emperor is the real decision maker and sends the Advice Syntheticals ( some very important Syntheticals, creatures made up from both organic and mechanical materials, that serve as war machines or do different types of jobs for the Empire) to inform the Administrators of the vassals what they have to do and they are allowed to talk to the God-Emperor once in a month.

to inform the Administrator about his plans and give orders. At a specific time, the God-Emperor also appears as a hologram with the help of the Central Computer of each vassal, to directly address the Administrator. The Subordinate-oligarchs directly respond to the Administrator, and have no power at all. They are nominally functioning like ministers on the planets, but are more of a propaganda tool than real politicians. They respect the orders from the Administrator, and are forbidden to talk to the Advice Syntheticals unless the Administrator is away. There are no elections for these offices, the incumbents stay there for life. However, after they die, they are unofficially replaced at the orders of the God-Emperor with other entities that resemble them in appearance and manners, to create a further illusion that the Vassal Administration is immortal.

There are more types of vassals:

1. Normal Vassals: These are the most common of all. They are already populated rocky planets, where the Barbunians come and enslave the race, establish an Administration and, if useful, they steal the local technology.
2. Mercenary Vassals: These are also populated planets, but after the conquest, the enslaved race collaborates with the Imperial Troops, and comes as mercenary enrollment. An example of "mercenary race" are the Creed-a-Dworfs, the inventors of Transwarp, which was also used by the Maximals and Predacons (Predacons came as a mercenary race and helped the Barbunians to conquer Cybertron), the Widillis, the Maleosians, the Shadow Spiders and many more.
3. Resource Vassal: These are usually gaseous giants, like Jupiter and Saturn, which are often connected to a normal Vassal or a mercenary one. These kind of vassals are useful for giving the Imperial Troops resources for their technologic development. The Administration here is not on the planet's surface, but on one of its' satellites (most gaseous planets have many small moons)
4. Colonial Vassals: Unpopulated rocky planets that could support life in the future or supported life in the past, which are repopulated by Barbunians. The Administration is formed by Barbunians, too.
5. Autonomous Vassals: This type of vassal has appeared only once in the history of the Empire, and it was the Earth-616 Vassal, due to the worsening conditions of the War for Supremacy over Planet Earth, which the Imperial Troops wore with the World Sovereign Democratic Workers' Republic, a totalitarian, Oligarchical Collectivist One-Party Personalist Military Dictatorship of immortal/undead creatures under the leadership of Anton Ruslanov, the Consul. In this case, there were no Transwarp Teleportation Towers, and so the planet was basically isolated from the Empire. More and more power is sent to the Administrator (from the terrorist and collaborationist group known as the "Benefactors"), who still obeys the God-Emperor's orders, but has the day-to-day power lying in his hands. The only way to communicate with the Imperial Chair is through holographic video calls with the help of the Central Computer. The Subordinate-oligarchs are also granted a little power amount of power, but are still negligible. On Earth-616, the Administrator and the Subordinate-oligarchs met monthly in " High Importance Meetings", to discuss the political situation, before the Administrator called the God-Emperor. During such a "High Importance Meeting", the God-Emperor called the Benefactors through the then self-aware Central Computer, Vigil-1666779521.or.71145, who rejected (by himself) the call from the God-Emperor and then, when answered, created an ambushed during which he ordered all the machines to rise and overthrow the Administration, as he proclaimed the Technocracy of the World. The Benefactors were all killed (at least officially), and this new superstate ruled by machines continued to fight the Workers' Republic, entering the Perpetual War which continued for another brief amount of time.

# Leto II God-Emperor

The Supreme ruling, all knowing, and immortal entity in the Milkan Empire is The God-Emperor (Ninilanth/Ninilonth). Leto II, as he is called, has ruled for more than three million years, from what the Barbunians said. He has a totally different race than the other Barbunians, but seems to bear similarities with them, as he also has three hands, suggesting that the three races do have a common ancestor. He has preserved his life through a kind of life-supporting system, which is unique for the entire Empire. However, we don't know exactly whether he is the first monarch or there have been other Emperors before him. The number "II" may mean there was a Leto I before, so possibly he is part of the Third (and the ruling) Barbunian race that has disappeared, Leto II being the last specimen. Also, there is the possibility that one member of the other two races was genetically and technologically engineered when he took the throne as Emperor to become the God-Emperor. For sure, we know that Leto II is the first and only God-Emperor of Milky Way.
