THE ATORIAN EMPIRE
The Milky Way Galaxy has numerous interstellar nations but none is as powerful and more feared than the aggressive Atorian Empire. They have spent centuries conquering parts of our galaxy and now control around 25% of it. Technologically they are the most advanced race in the galaxy and over time their ever-growing Empire has become a gynarchy (ruled by females); males within their region of space are treated as second class citizens at best and slaves at worst. The Atorian Empire has created the deadliest weapons in the galaxy and with the enormous amount of resources, planets, and personnel at their disposal, they are poised to eventually take over the rest of the Milky Way in a series of Expansion Phases, the next of which is scheduled to begin within 100 years.
