Expansionism of the Empire
During this time the Empire spread throughout the A1 galaxy, with the single rule that if the planet had advanced life on it the planet was not to be touched and quarantined by the military. At the start a few planets were tainted by organized crime who used the planets for slaves and to produce vices; but these were quickly stopped. These first contacts were forced on the Empire, where as they wanted for the exactly right time.
Discovery and Uplifting the Krath
Upon discovery of the Krath it was believed that there was nothing on the planet and a ship was forced to crash land after a meteor shower. The local Krath saw this as an invasion, and attacked and massacred the small trader vessels crew; but not before they got off an SOS. This lead to a mass scale attack by Legion/Gregil forces in what is called the Krato War, a four year conquest of the Krath homeworld.
Discovery of the Mazani
The discovery of the Mazani was much more subtle. The military watched them for over 20 years, a warrior people that were very religious. They were adruled by a High Priest but had a royal family with a prince that was very power hungry. There were two kinds of Mazani, one that was much more human in characteristics (Normally made up the military/common men) and then one more beast like, having massive growth like tentacles across the face. These Mazani tended to be in the priesthoods or other offices.
Mazani Civil War
Finally the military believed it ready to meet with the Mazani, but once they landed and had peaceful talks with the High Priest, the Prince launched an attack on the temple, declaring the High Priest to be selling his people into slavery. He then declared himself the King, and then drew his sword attacking the High Priest while his men cut down the Givosion's with force powers. Little did he know, but he had just sparked what would be one of the most disastrous wars in this sector of the galaxy, the Force Wars.
Mazani Conflict (Force War)
The Force War truly began when the Mazani attacked the Givosion delegates, and the Gregil were forced to intervene due to the Mazani connection to the force. A bloody battle broke out on their home planet and many died on both sides in a matter of weeks, thousands within a month. Forced to submit after the king was defeated, a young Gregil took control of their army, his name was Nikolai Monsetavich.
