Unification Wars - Pan-Pacific Empire (East Asia, Australia, Pacific Islands): The Pan-Pacific Empire was a techno-barbarian state composed of the Pacific Islands and what had once been the territories of parts of East Asia, Australia and the Japanese islands that flourished during the Age of Strife. Narthan Dume, the Tyrant of the Pan-Pacific Empire and its final ruler, is described in ancient sources as being "half-mad/half-genius" and is considered the most infamous of all the tyrannical rulers who dominated Terra during this dark period.Originally, the peoples of the region that would become the Pan-Pacific Empire was controlled by many techno-barbarian tribes which often clashed with the Yndonesic Bloc. Eventually, the Pan-Pacific tribes were united by a warlord named Khazar to wage war against the threat posed by the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism. The latter was a sect which strove for the creation of an artificial general intelligence that could bring about a technological singularity they hoped would rescue Humanity from its ills. Though later Mechanicum scholars mostly believed that the tribes' war against the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism was only motivated by their superstition, in truth the Pan-Pacific peoples had realised that the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism had begun to combine their technology with the powers of the Immaterium through the aid of Daemons.Khazar's forces successfully stormed the Brotherhood of Singularitarianism's fortresses and mostly destroyed the cult, though one of its leaders, Moravec, escaped to Mars. At some point after its unification, possibly in the 27th Millennium, the Pan-Pacific Empire was conquered by the warlord remembered in legend only as the "Unspeakable King."Eventually, the Unspeakable King was overthrown by the clans of Albia, and the Pan-Pacific Empire fell under the control of the self-proclaimed Tyrant Narthan Dume. Under Dume's rule the empire became one of the most powerful techno-barbarian realms on Pre-Unification Terra. Dume was fully aware that Humanity had lost most of its knowledge, but wondered whether this ignorance was a curse or a blessing considering the horrors that lurked beyond in the Warp.Not long after the tyrant came to power, however, the empire was confronted by the forces of the Emperor during the Unification Wars. In a series of battles, the Pan-Pacific Empire was defeated by the Imperial Army which consisted of units of Thunder Warriors, Caucasian Levies, and many mercenaries. The Pan-Pacific city of Vhnori was one of its last strongholds to fall. Dume was captured alive and executed.In 799.M30, after the start of the Great Crusade, Vhnori -- still resentful over the Pan-Pacific Empire's fall -- revolted against the Emperor. The so-called "Vhnori Resurgence" proved short-lived, as the city was completely destroyed by Imperial forces in retaliation.He was eventually defeated by the forces of the Emperor during the Unification Wars, removed from power and imprisoned while his fate was decided. Although some in the Emperor's service wanted to imprison Dume in the Imperial prison of Khangba Marwu, he was instead executed at the urging of Captain-General Constantin Valdor of the Legio Custodes shortly after his capture. Many of Dume's lieutenants, however, were imprisoned in Khangba Marwu.
