Holy Empire of Apokolips - Smallville Extended Universe

Apokolips the homeworld of the Empire

The Holy Empire of Apokolips is an intergalactic Empire that desires galactic domination over the universe for it's godly Emperor-Generalisimo Darkseid (Earth 1), the lord of Destruction himself. It was founded after the War of the Old Gods during Ragnarok, in which the battle was so cataclysmic that it literally tore the Old Gods apart, thus creating the New Gods, divided between two factions, between New Genesis and Apokolips. The latter is currently ruled by the embodiment of tyranny, Darkseid, who leads his forces across time and space.
