Rhovani Imperium

The Rhovani Imperium was founded by the rhovani 6000 years ago. It is rapidly becoming a significant competitor for the Galactic Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth rules through peace and cooperation, the Imperium rules with an iron fist, subjugating races rather than becoming partners with them.

The Imperium is lead by the Supreme Emperor of the Rhovani Imperium.

When a race is "invited" (fancy word for conquered) to join the Imperium, they have their military absorbed into the Rhovani Militant Force. The new Imperium race gets very little out of the process.

The Imperium has 18 member races and has colonized 5800 worlds or 11.6% of the galaxy.

The first 81 years of the Imperium's existence were relatively peaceful, with the Commonwealth anyway. But, on the 81st year, the Supreme Emperor declared war on the Commonwealth, it lasted only 4 months before the two sides agreed to a cease fire.

The last planet fought on was Pletharon, which is the namesake for the Treaty of Pletharon, the document allowing the two polities to exist in relative peace.
