Empire of Thodron

The Empire of Thodron, officially the Imperial State of Thodron (Thodronese: Status Imperialis Thodroni or Imperium Thodroni), and often known as simply the Empire, is a vast interstellar country in the Andromeda Galaxy. As of the 5th millennium, it is a galactic superpower that spans several tens of thousands of light years and some hundreds of billions of star systems.

The Empire was founded by warlord and former senator Mellegius, a descendent of ancient hero Aptasian, after the Age of Anarchy from the collapse of the High Republic in 2640 ME, in which the former Republic territory split into several factions. He was able to defeat other rival warlords and take back the city-covered capital of Thodron. A fair leader, Mellegius restored relative peace to the galaxy and brought about the Aptasian bloodline which would rule the Empire for its entire history. This era of peace would last for nearly three thousand years during the reigns of his descendants, but would end with sudden unrest by conspirator and high-ranking senator Quintus Marcellus, who set a successful assassination of Emperor Ioannes III. He was soon after a key figure in reforming Imperial government, in which an Aptasian monarch could only act under the rules of a constitution, with the Chancellor instead acting as head of government.
