I am using a friend's empire as a template (I have played, but I like their empire more than mine , Mine is small and theirs is big) The USPR (Union of Socialist Planetary Republics)has existed for 300 years and in that has, almost singlehandedly fended off the Scourge, Defeated the Ancient Dreadnought, and while having countless wars won most and stalemated the rest (I am not kidding about this, I while say how in the story), and now the Citadel Council wants to subjugate this juggernaut who all other juggernauts are afraid of?
