It was founded in October 2011, its objective being to regroup every French player of the game, to keep peace between them and unite them. The French Empire became the largest in the galaxy at the end of March 2013, and it remained one of the largest until U4, then became more discreet but still present until the end of MMO.

Pre-History
Larry is the first French to discover this game and he published numerous advertisements on many forums, StarOri and D4rz discovered the game thanks to one of those ads. First, they all created a solo empire, but when StarOri's empire has been destroyed by the Demigods Rus, they decided to create the French Empire together, on October 8th 2011.
History
The Beginning
The French Empire remained unknown until February 2012, when it conquered the Get Out empire in a quick and easy war. It then remained in the shadows until June, where it entered the Top 10 and started to look for allies (like the LYNXOR). Afterwards, it created with the Stellar Syndicate an alliance named New Order that became the 4th galactical power, mainly to counter the new alliance called The United Empires. However, an argument between the main members created a scission in the empire. With the active members leaving in a new empire, and D4rz leaving the game, StarOri was the only French Empire player left and became the Emperor.
The Dark Age
From July to November 2012, the empire slowly decayed until its destruction. In November, StarOri and Krisscut tried to restart the empire, but they failed mainly because of the 2 invasions from the Klingon Empire. Seeking revenge, StarOri allied what's left of the French Empire to The Toucan Empire on February 3rd 2013 to make them the 1st galactical power. This action triggered the Klingon-Toucan War and the fall of the Klingon Empire.
The Rebirth and the Golden Age
On February 8th 2013, an empire named French Alliance merged with the French Empire, it was the beginning of a new era of developpment. The French Empire took action in the war against the Harvesters by heavily damaging their mothership and retaking some of the cities they captured. The French Empire was the fastest to recover from the Resources Quality Reset of March, 1st and this was why, along with the inactivity of The Toucan Empire, WGF and the fall of the Klingon Empire, it became the 1st galactical power on March, 28th. An era of stability was then established in the galaxy, with the French Empire placing itself as a peacekeeper. Then the French Empire destroyed the 404 Not Found, an empire similar to the Harvesters.
During this period, the French Empire was at war with the Ancients Arias since 1st June. This war was long and gave the F-E a hard time. We also bitterly experienced during a tragic week of the war the total annihilation of our combat fleet (about 120 ships). Nonethless we recovered alone and rebuilt a fleet of combat in record time, the production rate reaching a maximum of 60 vessels per day. It was such a feat that the Emperor asked to advertise of our formidable abilities through a video : When diplomacy fails. The ship designs having been perfected, we finally managed to survive this enemy.
This period of empire's heyday lead to the possession of more than 350 ships (two-thirds of which were intended for combat mainly), the other vessels being traders, explorers, colonizers and harvesters.
At the announcement of the end of the universe, a race to the sectors (which was a factor of the standings at that time) took place between the major empires. The French Empire didn't tried to hide its ambition or using shady tactics, just planting a flag on a planet for each sector, adding a few buildings to avoid decay. During the last week, the members only planted a flag. Alas, we didn't won the universe 3 as the Syndicate Empire used vile tactics : they created multiple empires to stealthily plant flags, which were vassalized or surrended to the main empire at the last moment so that we could not observe their score. This was for us the first warning of the behavior of the members of this empire.
Universe 4
The universe 4 started on January 1st, 2014, The French Empire was present !
Angry beginnings
Universe 4 begins with a strong activity of all the empires. Very quickly, wars broke out between them to protect territories, to establish borders and a guarantee of access to vital resources. It was in this context that the war against the Exiles started. This empire was actually created by the Syndicate. The goal of creating such an empire is to use it to ensure the hegemony of the main empire by slowing or even eliminating the progress of rivals. The Exiles Empire did the dirty work of the Syndicate. The war lasted about 3 weeks, it was at the origin of many changes in the game systems. A wiki page is devoted to this event: French Empire War on Exiles
Following the signing of a peace treaty, we kept our homeword and went to a secret place to rebuild our forces and train in combat. Two months after the signing of the peace treaty with the Exiles, we had accumulated enough evidence incriminating the Syndicate to officially break our relationship with them. Since then we have been enemies.
An Empire like the Syndicate can't be worthy of cordial relation with the French Empire.
Reconstruction and progressive inactivity
We left and built a new "home" about 700 persec of the main cluster. In just two weeks, we were again able to produce combat ships. However, the war against the Exiles had marked the spirits, and the periods of school examination was approaching, the empire thus went dormant.
Thus, that was the end of universe 4 for the French Empire, since the game was closed during the summer of the same year.
Universe 5
The French Empire, through one of its key members Yetimal managed to contact Haxus on the occasion of the release of his new game Gravity Well on the forum of the game. The subject is searchable right here. We were able to tell him of our distress and submitted the idea of paying him. This is how the French Empire contributed to the return of Shores of Hazeron on servers via the Pay to play system.

A story that is still being written
The story is still being written. We want to warn our readers that the EF is never really inactive, we only sleep with one eye, always ready to pounce on the enemy.
Diplomacy
The French Empire is usually peaceful, but it will not hesitate to strike its enemies or those who disrespect it. The French Empire is hostile to every griefing empire, like the Harvesters, the 404 Not Found or the Ancients Arias. Also, the French Empire protects the weak empires from the stronger ones.
