Fiction:Olnian Empire

The Olnian Empire is an empire that always had a lust for power and getting what they wanted, even billions of years ago when they stole DNA from other cells. They grew more and more power-hungry until they became an advanced civilization, when they turned to money. They fought for anyone, their specialty being discipline to the point of stupidity, as long as they signed a contract and gave them lots of missiles. Even when they embarked on an interstellar journey, they were looking for a higher bidder than the one they had- until they met the Almighty Grox. Apparently they had planets made (literally) of bribe money, and they needed none of it (except for their own bribery), so they agreed to pay the Olnians to establish a safe perimeter around the galactic core. However, the Olnians, for once in thousands of years, could not resist the curiosity buried deep inside that kept asking the same question: what were they gaurding? they discovered the Grox's downfall- a weapon that could instantly destroy all the Grox on a planet by destroying their cyborg parts and converting them into normal, organic beings. The Olnians threatened to use this weapon unless they could get better pay. The Grox refused, and a few Earth days later 104 star systems turned to the Olnians. They became independent (almost) but kept making money by forcing aliens to give them money in return for only half their empire being obliterated, instead of the whole thing. Not a very good deal, but what choice did they have? The Olnians are currently one of the most powerful single-galaxy empires existing today.
