I'm not sure if you get the tier scale (although it is going to be changed soon). Tier 3s are galactic-scale powers and tier 2s are capable of intergalactic expansion.

The problem is that we're talking about a very powerful empire appearing out of nowhere. It does not really fit well for one reason: How is it that such a powerful empire is only known about now?
