Galactic Center : Map Room
Brittanian research team

A long holographic bridge stretched from the entrance of the temple down to a large domed shaped room. Below the bridge was the galactic core itself, an immense supermassive black hole, glowing red and yellow as it sucked in the light around it. Inside the room, a large black cube sat suspended off the ground emitting a slight humming sound. Outside, an entire battlegroup sat in wait as the two scientists studied the structure. 

Jameson was unable to speak as he studied the galactic map in front of him. Every planet, star and gas cloud was visible in the holographic display in front of him. “ This is……our galaxy, all of it.” he said as he looked at the various planets. Each planet had a different symbol over it and every planet was labeled, “ What do these symbols mean?” Jameson said, turning his body towards Oroca, who was silently studying the map himself.

“ They are labels, the ancients named all these planets” Oroca said while outstretching his hand towards the map and tapping on a random planet. As his finger touched the image the map quickly faded and was replaced by an enlarged image of the selected planet. Symbols surrounded the enlarged planet and continents and oceans could be seen on the image. Oroca was speechless as he read the symbols, his eyes were wide and his mouth hung open. “ I……I don’t believe it…” he finally said “ There is information on every planet in the galaxy…..” Oroca went back to the larger galactic view before tapping on another planet. “ Rare elements, metals and minerals, its all detailed here. Even other sentient species, this is…incredible.” Oroca, turned to face Jameson once again and cracked a rare smile. “ Imagine what this can do for the Federation, imagine what this can do for the galaxy! We can really make a difference”

Jameson nodded and sized up the map silently before turning to face Oroca, “This can make us the most powerful force in the galaxy, think Oroca….The Grand Brittanian Empire can be a reality.” Oroca shook his head and took a step back from Jameson “ We can’t let this information make us tyrants, we have a responsibility to use this correctly”. Jameson shook his head slightly, turning to face the map once again, he was clearly not happy with what Oroca said. “ We have a duty to the people of the federation, their safety is in our hands.” Jameson said as he looked down towards the ground for a moment “ I………I won’t let you stand in the way of doing my duty….”

Oroca looked shocked as the words left Jameson’s mouth and simply shook his head, slowly turning around to walk back towards the entrance. Before he could reach the door a loud snap caught his attention. Suddenly, his breathing became shallow and his vision extremely blurry, walking became impossible and Oroca soon feel to his knees. His breathing came in gasps as he reached up towards his chest, feeling the fresh smoldering hole. Desperation and panic set in as breathing also became impossible and Oroca began crawling towards the edge of the holographic bridge. “ I am sorry friend, Jameson said as he walked up behind Oroca “ This must be done”. without any more hesitation Jameson kicked him off the edge, watching his body fall through the abyss and into the black hole.

- Popular uprising 

The Kalel along with their allies the Kenris used the wealth and popular support of the royal family to overthrow the grey council. A bloody period of internal conflict followed and the Kalel and Kenris royal family succeeded in securing the Brittanian Federation. Renaming themselves the Grand Brittanian Empire, they began liquidating the unfriendly races and granting amnesty to those who pledged alliegence to the empire and royal family. As a result the Mogg race has been completely wiped out, making the Kalel, Kenris and Galfan the major races of the empire. The cooperation of the Galfan was completely unexpected, however; they were the first race outside of the royal family to join. The Levinti population has been severely impacted, those who remain are loyalist to the royal family and hold high positions in the church of Solus.

- Expansion

Due to an increase in the amount of natural resources at the empire expense, they have begun expanding into the areas around them in all directions making them a galactic super power. The Empire of Brittania is now less the 10,000 LY from the borders of the Haracli imperium and have a clear at fortified route to the galactic center. 

Can they be reasoned with?

Are they Hostile? Friendly?

Can you live with being conquered?
