Founded by Giovanni, Empire Rocket was for a while the largest Empire in the Hazeron galaxy during the 3rd Universe.

This empire used the Dictatorship government type.

History

Founding

Empire Rocket was founded as a one man empire by Giovanni on October 1, 2011 in the King's Century sector in the Main Cluster. From the original colony, a TL2 starship was made that was used to colonise a nearby ringworld 5 wormhole jumps away in the Heretic's End sector.

Several large empires were near the original two systems of Empire Rocket, two of which are the major reason that Giovanni decided to leave the Main Cluster to a remote area of the galaxy. A player from Celestial Kingdom expressed animosity towards the name of the home star system of the Empire and Estartu of Galaktische Krone requested that Giovanni not build additional colonies near his space. Giovanni did not wish to incur the wrath of either of these empires and was not sure at the time what would be an acceptable name for a system or what defined the territory of Galaktische Krone, so he built a new ship, christened the ERS Escape, and travelled to the sector that would be called the Rocket Sector. The home system and the ringworld system were left to rot.

Expansion from the Rocket Sector

In late October, Giovanni landed at Giovanni's Landing in the Giovanni's Star Ringworld. Unhindered by diplomatic gobblygook and without the fear of falling victim to aggression, Empire Rocket quickly grew in size. Research funding was slow at first but soon 32 of each essential process were funded by the construction of an exploit trader in Gem Trader's Post. The capital was soon moved from Giovanni's star to an undisclosed location due to inefficiency wasting the limited supply of good plastic limiting shipbuilding to TL 9. With the new, improved capitol, ship TL gradually increased.

Pirates

Giovanni, weary from a long day of being awesome, logged on one night to find a group of unidentified ships telling him to stand down. The ERS Hyper Colonizer, an unarmed TL 27 ship, was destroyed that day, and Giovanni feared the frequent attacks by these pirates until he discovered how easy it was to outmanoeuvre them and Rocketman discovered how easy it was to blast the pirate bases to bits. Expansion soon continued as usual, mostly now with armed ships, and before long the empire reached TL 32 shipbuilding. The high TL ships were key to getting more people to join the empire as Giovanni severely overestimated the number of Pokemon enthusiasts in the Hazeron Galaxy when the empire was first created.

Warp Drives

With warp drives implemented, Empire Rocket was prone to the practicality of people from various annoying empires coming to "visit". However, nobody ended up coming and the only diplomacy continued to consist only of dunking large ships into the atmospheres of the occasional noob empires. There was difficulty finding antiflux particles at first since Giovanni expected to see it on the system scans, but in due time a TL 32 source was acquired.

Conquest of former Toucan systems

After the disbanding of the Toucan Empire in April 2012, Empire Rocket rapidly gained new members, some of which were former Toucan players. Empire Rocket was the only empire taking part in a full-scale feeding frenzy of Toucan systems. Giovanni, xMarvinx, and Deltarious each led armies against these systems. Dyadic Paragon and over 100 other cities fell to the forces of Empire Rocket before the remaining cities all decayed from abandonment. With these new cities Empire Rocket quickly surged from being the third largest empire to the single largest empire.

United Empires

One day, Delsome and Ktik were discussing plans to ally due to the recent aggressiveness of the French Empire. Unbeknownst to them, Giovanni was spying on their conversation, and suggested to them that they make a new galactic government, as the old one had fell. Delsome and Ktik agreed with Giovanni's plan, and so The United Empires were formed.

Klingon Empire/West Galactic Federation war

See also: Pan Galactic War 2

The conflict began after Martok had conquered several small empires because their leaders insulted or annoyed him. Both Lexx of Empire Rocket and Staines of the West Galactic Federation asked that he stopped doing this, and he agreed, but for unknown reasons Staines decided to declare war anyways. Since Martok had not conquered any empires since asked not to, Giovanni decided to join the War on side of the Klingons under the impression that the WGF aimed for total supremacy over the entire Galaxy.

Historical accounts differ, the exact course of events remains unclear. Due to the distance between the empires, many warships fell to the mysterious dark matter before they could reach WGF space. Empire Rocket's fortunes in the War began soon to take an very unfavourable turn after a series of disastrous battles. Giovanni's fate was unclear; according to unconfirmed rumours he fell in defense of the capital. Other believed he managed to survive and has left the Hazeron Galaxy since then.

On November 12, 2012 a cease fire was declared between the West Galactic Federation and the remainder of Empire Rocket, now led by Avenguarde.

Resurgence Era

With it's original founders gone, its fleets shattered across the Galaxy and many colonies being lost or decaying, Empire Rocket was widely believed to be dead. The old guard having left or disappeared during the war, the power was hastily transferred upon a new government which found itself all of the sudden confronted with a overwhelming amount of challenges. After initial setbacks the new leadership under President Victor Kosgev managed to make the best out of the situation, rescuing countless ships being lost in the depths of the Galaxy and re-establishing contact with many lost sectors.

Situation at the end of the 3rd Universe

The resurgence Era ended with the resource reset which caused a mass-exodus of the remaining Population.

Empire Rocket had built several ark ships loaded with TL32 resources and modules in preparation for a resurgence in activity.

Policies

Empire Rocket was usually neutral by default. Despite being a part of its legacy, the Team Rocket theme had never been encouraged. No roleplaying was required, ships did not have to look like anything in particular, and there were no fixed guidelines for naming cities/systems.

Public Shipyard

Empire Rocket used to host the only public shipyard with TL32 capabilities. In its prime time dozens of ships were built there each day. Due to the resource reset and lack of activity the public shipyard had been closed.

Notable Players

Lexx
