Talk:Terran Empire

Stylistically, the Terran Empire spent the Second Age being painted as the big baddies. There are key points to the Terran Empire that are important to anyone wanting to flesh out its history.


 * It was the ideal, perfect empire. For humans. Humanity, already seeded across the stars, was never and has never since been afforded better rights. But it was only for humanity. The rebellion was of the second class citizens and those who chose to side with them for 'equality.'


 * The known history of the Second Age concentrates on the Milky Way Galaxy. The core setting of Dominion is set in a broad region of the Milky Way galaxy centred on Sol. At it's peak, the Terran empire had real, effective control over 4/5 of the Milky Way.


 * Terran Control did extend out of the Milky Way to other Galaxies, but the extent of this was not is is not known to any of the other powers in the Milky Way.


 * The Terrans had complete control of the jump gate network. This, arguably, was their greatest achievement. The Senate has 90% control of the network now, but those gates that are inoperable are in obscure areas of space, or are just one of a number of gates in a system. BOTH factions CLAIM to have full control. NEITHER could build or re-route gates, however.

 * The cause of the Crash of the gate network has never been ascertained or definitively proven. All that exist are theories. Some may be more accurate than others, but nobody really knows.
