Immuni Empire

The Immuni Empire - formerly the Kharadras Confederacy - is one of the three major factions in the Upper Spiral, and is the largest of the three, geographically speaking.

Originally comprising of an alliance between the Immuni, several Arcadian Anti-Republic Imperialist cells, and the Radorii, it is seen as the aggressor of the Spiral and is constantly pushing the borders of the neighbouring factions, searching for any weak point to exploit.

Origin:
The Immuni Empire was formed several decades after the collapse of the Kharadras Confederacy.

The warring tribes of the Immuni, growing tired of spilling their own blood over paltry worlds and already strip-mined asteroids, gathered at their abandoned homeworld of Immunus to organise their reunification.

Despite the best attempts of the leading families, the negotiations began to fail - seventy years of bad blood and constant warfare was not easily forgotten.

All seemed lost until the Republic, recognising the danger of a resurgent Immuni and unaware of the frailty of the unofficial truce, attempted to splinter the meeting by launching an assault on the Immuni homeworld, hoping to destroy the leadership of the various tribes and set back any reunification by decades. However, the knowledge that the Republic was still seeking the destruction of their species did what weeks of negotiation could not; unified the Immuni against a common enemy and birthed the Immuni Empire.

The newly-created Empire's first move was to launch an all-out invasion of both the Radorus and Athurian systems; liberating the first from a Republic blockade and adding their strength to the Empire, and engaging in a fierce battle over the second, desperate for control of the nearest supply of Impervium to bolster their aged fleets.
