Born from the fires of a nuclear exchange nearly a couple hundred years ago, the Imperium was borne from the unification of the Rhomae, Americium, and the Germae Empires after the Great Unification War. The war was caused by the century-long cold war between the three superpowers which finally had seen the forces of the Imperium Rhomae, the Comunae Germae, and the Americium Republica face off before a long nuclear exchange.

The already inhospitable landscape was made even more barren with the war and the only thing that kept the species from extinction was the Rhomae insistence on the downvalueing of individual rights and towards the common good. This was helped by the discovery of the Vespyrian Realm (named after the realm of the Goddess Vespyr) in 2100. It took nearly a century for the invention of the drives to be perfected and fitted upon the first ships. Now it is time for the Imperium to take the galaxy and to reign supreme over all.

The Tortugans dragged themselves and established their first settlements on land 2,200 years ago, and progressed through technology rapidly.
The Tortugans were warlike marshals, constantly warring over land and resources. This changed In 1750 AD, however, as the first atom was smashed and the creation of the Nuclear Bomb put the planet on a standstill for 150 years. Under the threat of M.A.D. and realization of how tragic war has caused, the Tortugans cast off their war-like beliefs and throughout the 20th century, established a world-wide Moral Democracy.
In 2,174 AD, Zoz Zildaxi invented subspace bubbles, and the warp drive was eventually invented 25 years afterwards.

The low gravity and moist climate of Oresta has allowed soft-bodied mollusks to thrive. The Orestin evolved in this climate, hunted by viscous 10m gastropods and other terrestrial cephalopods. This harsh environment fostered intelligence, and the Orestin have since built a society that values knowledge above all.Throwing off the shackles of capitalism and democracy after a vast economic recession, the Orestin have turned to their finest minds to lead them into the tantalizing abyss of space.

Auropan Coalition

A nation of corporations, mercenaries, and engineers, the Coalition is held together only by the principles of greed. Generally running by the motto of "shoot first, ask questions later", Auropans are not very appealing to most other races diplomatically. But do they care? No. They want reward, and will use any force necessary to get it.

Outbound Ambumukan Procession

"Over anything, an Ambumuke cherishes freedom. Or perhaps 'autonomy' ties a closer translation. Strangely for a Fungoid race, the Ambumukan "liberated themselves from the mould". In effect divorcing themselves from the usual fungal life-cycle. Ambumukes are single, self-determining sporelets. Individuals with hopes and dreams. Their evolutionary heritage, an ancient mould carpet, is now situated in a paddock within their main city. It's a curiosity. A reminder of a dead-end their race narrowly avoided. As such, the Ambumukan intend to stride boldly into a bright future."

The idea here was to go against the obvious, Inexorable Creeping Blob trope common with fungus races. Ambumukes (Ambulatory Fungus) still do the expansion thing... just in a guise more similar (and friendly) to humanoid characters.

For Iktikhtans their star, Zaan, always occupied central part in their lives. They called Him as the One Above All, the One Who Shines, the One Who Watches and by many other, much more complex names. So Iktikhtans ever watched up in awe and with fear. Because of that their road to stars was hard and even bloody: many feared than flying closer to Zaan may bring down His anger and destroy everything. All changed after first Iktikhtan went to space and returned. The thought of that they can be closer to Him gave tremendous push to space-related researches. After discovering that whole galaxy connected by Hyperlanes, Zaanamar clergy realized that this is their Divine Mission - to connect Zaan to other Suns, through themselves. And with this mission, Zaan Divine Communion ventured out, in great expanses of their galaxy.
