The Eulian Empire is the largest interstellar empire in the galaxy of Black Horizon.
The empire rules thousands of systems, inhabited by billions of citizens, and has a tight grip on power in the galaxy.
Eulia is an expanding empire, welcoming neighboring regions to join and become part of the empire. Refusal can mean the unleashing of the powerful Eulian fleet.
Eulia started as a colony created by settlers who first visited the Eulian star and its system. The Eulian star is particularly bright and can be seen throughout most of the galaxy. The Eulian star has ever since been the symbol of Eulians.
Eulians have always had a strong state, with progressive political actions, universal welfare, and a strong grip on technology. After decades of conflict in the galaxy, Eulia and many other states joined together under the Galactic Alliance, a union lasting for over 3 centuries.
But the Galactic Alliance disbanded, and Eulia emerged reformed, reinstating old traditions. A new wave of Eulian pride and superiority was born, led by an Eulian emperor at the helm.
The Eulian Empire is the largest controlled area in the galaxy.
The capital, Eulia, is situated in the middle of the territory and is the core of the entire empire.
Raymoor and Parafena are industrial systems essential for supply and production throughout the empire.
Messen is a newly terraformed world with bountiful nature and life, and has become a sprawling living space for many middle-class Eulians. Wealthier Eulians might find themselves living on Baltis and the artificial worlds orbiting it.
Tastamir is the most secret and highly protected system of the Eulian war machine.
Officially, Eulia is a republic with a senate of senators representing each sector of the Eulian government. Throughout history, Eulia has had several political systems, but today it is effectively a dictatorship with a small council controlling most affairs, led by an Emperor who is strongly supported and favored by the population.
Though Eulians don't have the ability to vote for the central government, they are involved in choosing senators, but this varies from sector to sector.
Structurally, the empire has the emperor as the supreme leader, followed by an Eulian council mostly comprised of military generals, then the Eulian senate, and finally the citizens. Only since the new emperor has the council held more power than the senate.
Eulian life is generally of the highest standard in the galaxy when looking across the entire population.
Eulia believes in opportunity and equality for all. They have a vast welfare system, universal income, and the most educated citizens of all.
However, Eulia has a strict no-religion doctrine, mandatory 2-year conscription, and it is hard to have a direct influence on the highest politics of the government.
Nevertheless, Eulians are generally happy, proud, and they share a common desire to expand their ideology throughout the galaxy.
The Eulian fleet is a great symbol of pride for Eulia, especially for the higher military officials. It is seen as the most decisive tool in the success of Eulia across the galaxy.
The Eulian fleet is old but incredibly robust. Its age is an asset for the Eulian fleet; trust in strong leadership has led Eulian fleet commanders to become some of the most influential and powerful individuals in the galaxy.
The backbone of the fleet is their reliable heavy battle cruiser. The heavy battle cruiser can outgun any rival ship, and a single ship is often enough for an invasion of minor planets. If the battle cruiser isn't enough, the empire can always call upon their super heavy battle cruisers, stretching over 1km. Almost nothing is a match for their devastating firepower.
