Thimoid Empire

The Thimoid Empire, officially the Thimoid Authority, and rarely called the Authority, is the political entity that rules the Thimoid species and a galactic Great Power.

The Empire is an authoritarian state ruled by a military dictator. Dissent and non-sanctioned expression are harshly oppressed and military service is obligatory.

The Empire has maintained an aggressively expansionist and xenophobic philosophy since its foundation in 2186, and has fought numerous wars with the Caloctoran Hegemony and the Yalon StarCorp.

The Empire is the most populous state in the galaxy, largely due to the Thimoids' rapid reproduction rates, an abundance of habitable planets near their home system, and long period of time their species has been active on the interstellar stage.

Prior to the foundation of the Empire, the Thimoids were ruled by the Kingdom of Thimmia, a semi-feudal state similar in many ways to the government of the Volkar Stellar Imperium. The Kingdom was founded several centures before the invention of the Thimoid hyperdrive in ~1900, and survived until a successful coup in 2186, which replaced the semi-feudal system with a centralized Imperial authority controlled by a military dictator.
