The Sekrosian Solar Empire or the Empire of Sekros was a major interstellar state from the Inio'zioni Universe, located in the far-off region of an uncharted galaxy. The Empire was originally governed majority by Human colonists from the United Earth Federation when they were cut off and first assumed to have been the Andromeda Galaxy, at least originally they had no idea of its location at the time. Founded by Aanakwad O'Neill, who was a military general in charge of protecting the population 2129 (1535 NE) after gaining vast approvals through conflicts and protecting the people, he was declared as their Monarch and made the one colony world Sekros Prime as the heart of the Empire. Making their efforts to establish a prosperous civilization to survive the unknown, yet developed a monarch system and a strong warrior and military society based on Earth's Ancient Greek and Middle Eastern customs with modern culture.
The Sekrosian Empire slowly expanded to several planets and a few colonies beyond their star system, under the command of Aanakwad, they were to build a fleet from trades between a handful of races they established contact to prepare for any chance they are dragged into the conflict that spread across different universes, most of all the EUF in fear they will discover them and force the citizens to submit to them, making efforts to distance themselves from the Federation's growing tyrannical movement and grown of distrust through the centuries as unlike the Federation, the Sekrosian Empire was willing to associate with alien races so long as they pose no threat to them.
Nearing the end of the 24th century (18th century NE), the Sekrosian Empire under its long sole rule of Aanakwad was starting to experience a growing state of decline as rebellion and riots sprung up within its territories as its monarch was growing more distant and neglectful of his duties, despite attempts to allow his children such as Arvo Leroy to take the throne who were ready to take the responsibilities, Aanakwad refused and maintained absolute power until the revolution orchestrated by members of his own royal family and citizens overthrow the imperial power.
In the aftermath of the Rebellion, the remaining ruling council who were in league with the former king were trialed. Arvo took the throne and in the short term restored order before the damage could continue, ultimately in he set up a plan to build a successor state to the empire to build a new age while serve as a member state of the Alliance of Nations and with the growing strained relations of the United Earth Federation over their imposing force on the sovereign nation. Nearing to wards the end of the First war, the Sekrosian Empire was dissolved the empire after seeing the corruption that had been done to its people and the UEF, reorganized it as the Free Systems Republic with other allied races of the Inio'zioni Universe to join as a unified alliance for all to be treated equally, and to oppose tyrannical nations like the Grand Terran Empire.
History[]
Exodus[]
Sekros Prime
The roots of the Sekrosian Empire goes back to 2125 (1531 NE), when the colonists from the Inio'zioni Earth were set course for distant colonies to expand with the leadership of General Aanakwad O'Neill to their destination of a colony with a total of 789,000 with a. sustainable number as also for survival of their civilization. But during the journey, an accident with the KFV-Drive system during a solar storm plunged the colonisation fleet dramatically off course and thrown them into a distant part of the local group when presumed to be in the Andromeda Galaxy but further. The colonists were fortunate to make it through with minimal casualties but with no data of heir current location, the colonists found a planet with the conditions to sustain human life. Aanakwad gave command to his unit to send down probes and an expedition team to the planet to ensure it was safe for them to settle or a suitable location to set up a colony. With no communications and the FTL drive damaged, the colonists were cut off from their homeworld.
Age of the Sekrosian Empire[]
By the year 2129 (1535 NE), a new nation as established a mix modern and ancient Mediterranean cultures with himself as king sovereign alongside his wife Sarrha Leroy as his queen. The colonists, now calling themselves Sekrosians began to work on colonising the planet and establish military outposts across the solar system to further strengthen their defences for potential hostiles. Aanakwad had spent the first decades focusing on using the resources the miners gathered for military and upgrade their technologies, finding unique materials for scientists to conduct resrearch. The colonists expand across the surface and catalog the local wildlife and plants that are safe and those poisons.
Prothius City, capital of the Sekrosian Empire
The capital of city, Prothius has been established by the shores and built in 2131 (1537 NE) to have built a city and began making plans for farms and solar panels to generate energy supplies and houses for a large population. Aanakwad announces the Olympic be made with traditional sports along with others tp show sportsmanship with the for the coming 10 year anniversary of the settlement of Sekros Prime and the birth of the Sekrosian Empire.
The first settlements were built in the neighbouring continents in 2140 (1546 NE).
Expansion[]
The Sekrosian Empire had begun the space exploration of the Kalus system for potential colonisations, naming the two closes planets to the Kalos star Ifrit and Isis after the mythological deities. The fourth orbital planet, Manaf appears within the habitable zone and a target for second colonisation in the future.
By 2223 (1629 NE) The population had increased to millions due to the extended lifespans by the Combine nanites, Aanakwad announced the colonisation of the star system.
Uprising[]
With usurpers plotting behind Aanakwad to overthrow him before any of his children take the throne, they caused many riots on several cities with growing taxes and taking supplies for citizens needed for the soldiers, blaming it all on Aanakwad who only agreed with concern of the war coming to them. Some had plotted with remaining UEF agents to establish contact with the federation after nearly 400 years. Taking advantage of the king's paranoia and personality changes, painting him as the enemy, yet prince Arvo learned of his from Kaleth when they plotted to kidnap the young princess Mariam due to her mother a keyberer in an attempt to gain the abilities, fortunately they took her safely to the Malica Universe and introduced her to her maternal grandparents Sora and Kairi Yujo. Arvo realised the condition of his father's state being neglectful and needed to take up the position to take the throne before the revolution grows violent.
New Era[]
The the brief revolution and the defeat of the factions who played a role in an attempt to overthrow the empire, while Aanakwad's 'death' was broadcasted and did celebrate the end of his reign, but still moaned as he did indeed established a society and made a strong nation without the Federation's influence. With the power vacuum, the senate council stated to seek out a successor, with his grandchildren some believe be suitable, but chose one of his children who be a worthy candidate for the throne and talks of a new change of the nation with such damage to the government and corruption steeped so far and the possible threat of the United Earth Federation is more possible and the First War.
Arvo Leroy was declared as the new Sovereign monarch and successor in 2497 (1903 NE), his first official act was to restore the damage done and have the usurpers arrested and faced judgement, announcing to the public that the revolution and the abuse of power was the work of the individuals loyal to the United Earth Federation who no longer be seen as allies and shown of their abuse and tyranny. Revealing his father was unknowingly played a victim of their plot (in truth he found out about a device he kept that shown them the future but was kept to a few), resulting in his 'death'. The citizens of the empire were in a state of uproar that the Federation would do this and refused to be slaves if they invaded them. With his reign, the empire flourished once again and begin plans to create a commonwealth with kings and queens be elected and a council from each part of the planets under their control be voted than have one leader.
Contact with the Alliance[]
The Skerosian Empire had officially established first contact with the Alliance of Nations, mainly towards the United Commonwealths of Worlds with the help of Mulan Yujo in in 2501 (1907 NE) at the turn of the new century. The Sekrosians and their allies made a promising relations with the United Commonwealth from the Malica Universe with Arvo speaking well for them, yet while also requested them to maintain this relations a secret from the UEF due to originally a colony ship they descended from. While the 4th princess Avra Howell took the role as ambassador, she and her fellow representatives confronted the UEF members and kept their origins hidden until further details of the Federation.
Rise of the Republic[]
By 2563 (1970 NE), the Sekrosian government has officially dissolved the empire, and the royal families would now have very limited control of the government only in politics as part of the council, ambassadors or serve in the military as they have been prepared for centuries with the growing threat of the United Earth Federation becoming aware of their presence in the distant galaxy and using their efforts to build a strong military force, both human and alien to stand a united front against the Federation with the support of the Alliance recognising them as a sovereign state. reorganising the Sekrosian Empire, the Dharru Dominion and other stellar states into the Free Systems Republic.
Government[]
The Sekrosian Empire was an absolute monarchy, ruled solely by its monarch and founder, Aanakwad O'Neill with absolute sovereign ruler and authority as well as the overall policy of the state and its diplomacy and has the final authority on most matters of state. However, substantial power also lies in the hands of the senate having limited power to govern the empire and its territories yet being able to speak and discuss the needs of their government, whilst somewhat based on the Ancient Greek senate. Despite being referred to as an empire, they allowed forms of social equality and if a noble-ranked citizen was unable to fulfill their deeds or committed a serious crime, they were stripped of that status and even a commoner may be rewarded depending on their deeds as citizens or military career. The Monarch has the absolute power to either grant that citizen anything in his or her power.
Certain cities were allowed to be governed by leaders through democratic voting systems as long as they gained approval from the citizens or were removed, same for nobility to ensure they took their political roles and domestic affairs seriously. Even they could become royalty such as some of Aanakwad's wives were simple common citizens during his reign.
Like the monarchy, there exist princes and princesses, but only in Aankwad's royal family. Given his sole rule, allowed his children to govern their cities and colonies throughout the imperial territories, according to Sarrha Leroy, should have given the limited terms of rule and let one of his children succeed such as Arvo Leroy, the firstborn prince and eldest son should have been king decades ago with many support and popularity by everyone for his deeds and actions, even if he did served as acting king at the time or one of the princes and princesses when their father was temporarily absent. However, Aanakwad had little interest in choosing who to be his successor at the time due to his sole purpose to make his empire strong enough.
While reorganised into the Free Systems Republic, the Sekrosian government does hold some of their structures such as elections and those of royalty would be nominated as king/Queen Elect for several years of term until a new one takes over. Those who abuse their power and break the laws will have their status and title relinquished to avoid potential dictatorship.
Culture and Society[]
In the early years after the empire was founded, citizens were given rights to gain social ranks through ranks, yet the nobility had major power over the government. Gender roles have no limits, however, depending on certain social roles, either man or woman is permitted to enroll in the military and even become political leaders but must perform physical and mental tests.
The Empire had strict laws against slavery and outlawed it as many who fought against the Irken and the Combine Empires saw it as barbaric and cruel, any who were unable to support would be given work to settle debts to sustain their economy. Given mixed cultural themes such as Earth 21st century, Ancient Greek and Middle-Eastern blend together, however, there are other racial traits given many humans originated from certain countries of Earth. Many average citizens are allowed to wear modern clothing, even for higher ranks, however, the royal family would wear traditional royal garments.
The Sekrosians do celebrate festivities and even carry out the Olympic Games whilst also allowing extreme sports such as surfing, wind riding, and boarding. Even have racing events to compete in while also gladiator tournaments to fight off synthetic creatures or combat droids.
Their jurisdiction for any criminal depending on their crimes would be either be sentenced to a penal colony away or be executed on heinous acts. The Monarch can even personally execute that prisoner or in public for subjects to witness but are given a fair trial before the task can be carried out.
With dealing with the extended lifespans of the Combine nanites, it was easily adjusted to social standards.
It has been commonly noted to practice polygamy/polyamory practiced tradition as the Monarch can have several spouses, usually those of political or marriages, but only of certain citizens of lower social ranks and noble if able to sustain their growing families but very limited to two or three in total, divorces are permitted, some occasions could be if it is a limited condition or the spouse have violated their oafs or grownup of it. But the Monarch has the absolute authority to marry as many as Aanakwad had a total of nine wives as his royal harem, even for royal prince/princess it was also stated that his son Avroy had three wives. This was also his effort to keep their population sustained and take advantage of the extended lifespan.
Despite being populated by humans, non-humans were permitted to be citizens but must perform certain tasks or gain permission before allowing them as well as need to perform duties and jobs available to avoid issues. But many hold bigotry towards Combine and Irkens due to their history with them which made the Imperial citizens allow those who have mutual hate and distrust.
Arts and media[]
Technology[]
Sekrosian technology appears slightly more advance from trades with the neighbouring races, they were able to use such to easily terraform planets to suitable conditions as well as advance medical science as well as genetic engineering and beaming tech. It was stated by the 18th century they immediately could use robotic drones to fill the numbers of their armies, according to some theories, they could go on par with the UEF before they became an expansionist state.

Territories[]
The Sekrosian Empire held a steady growth of their territories while focusing on the Shamash system and its colony worlds and moons, but after discovering new technologies to travel further, they expanded to several star systems by the dawn of the 26th century upon expansion to prevent population crisis due to the extensive lifespans by the Combine nanites.
