Devoted to the aquisition of ancient knowledge and the liberation of slaves across the galaxy, The Empire is a small group of intelligent and fearsome pilots, who stand among the top warriors in the universe. Whether flying solo or in groups, Empire pilots are precision fighters who are masters in their chosen fields. Anyone encountering a ship bearing the Empire insignia should exercise extreme caution. You have been warned.

**NOTE**: Once every 22 cycles of their unique calendar ( roughly 1200 years ) the Empire opens its doors to pilots who wish to join their ranks. We are currently living in one of these rare periods, and it is rumored that almost anyone who applies will be granted quarter and taught in their deadly ways.
