Fiction:Allandium Directorate

"The Allandium Directorate has already expanded deep into the Milky Way. The inferiors we have faced have fell to our legions of soldiers. Our gods have blessed us this day. Nearly six thousand worlds are under the boot of the Directorate, and our grip will never fail!"

- Commandant Esperis Malki

The Allandium Directorate is a religious-based absolute monarchy located in the. The Directorate spans 5700 worlds on the eastern fringes of the Perseus arm. The Directorates goal is simply to extend across the galaxy and make its religion known to everyone. While not a powerful superpower, the Directorate is not simply a small, insignificant empire either. Many of the conquered worlds have faced the Directorate's fast moving ships or the strength of the Allandium sharpshooters. No matter what, however, the Directorate will try and complete their objectives, no matter the cost.

A realm with a extensive history, the entire empire is managed by the Emperor and his god-servants in the planet, the capital world of the entire empire. The empire has secrets, however, such as past brutal and merciless treatment of minorites and terrible sacrifices to the many Allandine gods. Despite this, many conquered nations had felt safer in the Directorate than when they were independent due to constant patrols across Allandine space.

Overview
For the past few centuries the Directorate had expanded from Alium, the Allandine homeworld. The Directorate has a firm and devout belief in their own religion, the worship of many gods based on such things like agriculture, war, sacrifice and many other things. In the past worshippers have been going to extremes for their religion, with things such as child sacrifice, murder, dismemberment and many other things now banned by the Directorate's now increasingly secular leaders. Many times have the religious rebelled against authority to continue these practices. The events of the Directorate are part of, as of the present, two eras. Much of the Directorates history was filled with religious wars, genocide and rebellions.

Pre-Present day
The Allandium Directorate has existed for many years. In 9257 BC, the many factions of the Allandium species, which back then was consisted of 46 systems, stopped their conflicts and unified into a 'Directorate', headed by a Emperor. The first, Emperor Alkazar, expanded successfully into the other independent alien civilisations in the eastern fringes. After then, the Directorate gradually expanded, following the objectives of total subjugation of the entire arm. That's when they learned of other aliens outside of the Fringes. Potential new members to the Directorate. Despite the success, The Directorate temporarily collapsed into civil war after the death of Alkazar, leading to a violent succession war in the Directorate. The Directorate reunified under the Malki family, who stopped expansion in favour to boost culture and the arts. For the next few thousand years, the Directorate expanded slowly across the Eastern fringes, subjugating any civilisations that stood in the way.

Present day
Recently, the Directorate had turned away from its extremely warlike past. The present government under the Emperor Aitus IV had realised that war was not completely the way to go, and increasingly used diplomacy to broker treaties with potential partners. Allandine space had extended to nearly six thousand worlds surrounding the capital world. The Allandium religion is still practiced by about 98% of the population, and religion still has a firm hold in the government. Despite the incresing attempts to use diplomacy, the Directorate still declares war and subjugates many species across the fringes.
