## Overview

The Aralien Empire is a powerful galactic sovereign state. Their primary population is composed predominantly by Araliens as well as many other races who live in a social caste system. They have been locked in a war with the Human Alliance for over a century, and more recently, with the Freedom Initiative. The Aralien Empire has existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Their political policies and character can be described as authoritarian, traditional and communal.

The Aralien Empire is of integrationist allegiance. They believe in integrating all sentient life, with the exception of humanity - living together in a balanced community. Libertarians and Separatist Organizations are their primary enemies.

## Game Description

*Every living breath of an Aralien subject is spent in the service of the emperor; should he serve well, he will be generously rewarded. Araliens prefer to get along with their interstellar neighbours, and the Empire is home to manhy different races who freely trade goods and technology within the Empire's borders.*

*It seems the Empire has existed for as long as the stars have shined, and for most of that time, they practiced an ancient arcane tradition. Balance was found with other sentients through negotiation where possible, and subjugation when necessary. The new emperor has changed all that, placing himself at the head of a new pantheon in his reinvigorated crusade to destroy the Humans.*

*"What good were the gods of our fathers? They forbid us destroy the Humans when had our chance long ago, and now they are a scourge. Only the emperor can bring the universe back into balance. In the name of the emperor, we will do what our ancestors never could, drive back the humans and destroy them." Magistrate Olozor, Herald of the Emperor, first of his brood.*

## History/Lore

Long ago, the Aralien Empire declared war on the Human Alliance, citing over-consumption of natural resources and new-age manifest destiny. The Human civilization was, at the time, substantially inferior in both technologies and military might. Araliens, with orders from the emperor, had a renowned Aralien warlord build the first Infector, with which they led a massive invasion of Earth. Earth was ultimately destroyed - the Aralien Empire hoping that its destruction would devastate humanity and discourage them from continuing their way of life.

# Aralien Empire

The Aralien Empire (AE) is both the founder of the Integrationist Faction and a default organization. New players that choose "Aralien" as their species will be automatically be drafted into the Aralien Empire Organization.

# Empire Intelligence

Empire Intelligence is a default organization within the Aralien Empire dedicated to espionage, reconnaissance, and gathering intelligence. It is considered a subset of the Aralien Empire organization, despite being a separate org in-game.

*Empire Intelligence is the eyes and ears of the Emperor. It was once their business to hunt down heretics, but now they scour the various star systems for anything that can help in the crusade. Inquisitor persistence is famous, and there are few secrets they are unaware of for long.*

*Much of the art of intelligence gathering is piecing together the ordinary and every day. It is often that warriors and merchants are dispatched for seemingly menial tasks that are in fact critical to the cause. Other times, the elite of the Aralien fleet are sent on high stakes missions that deal severe blows to the Empire's foes.*

*"Whispers and ruminations pose as great a threat as any foreign power. No secrets shall go undiscovered, no traitors will go unpunished, and no weakness will go unnoticed." Lord Karagool, Inquisitor of Imperial Intelligence, Thirteenth of his Brood*

## Misc. Info
