Fiction:The Xa Empire

The Xa Galaxy
The Xa galaxy is my galaxy in Spore. There are hundreds of empires living in Xa, but only a few turned into super empires. These super empires formed the Galactic Council, essentially the U.N. of Xa.

History
A long time ago, about 10000 years before the Galactic Council was founded, the only empires in Xa were the Newikians and the Terknai. These two empires were still developing when they discovered each other. They forged an alliance almost immediately, and shared their technology, weaponry, and traded frequently. They even began terraforming planets within their sector, causing evolution and, eventually, sentience. Not to long later, about 100 years later, a mysterious vessel was spotted headed for the galactic core. Little did the empires know that The Grox had just arrived. They spread out like a virus, and almost immediately captured 200 star systems near the core after it landed. The Terknia tried to make contact and sent a flagship to talk to them. The Grox opened fire and shot it down before the ship got within 10 parsecs. About 2000 years before the Galactic Council was established, the Terknai and Newikians were branching off colonies and flourishing. Xa was just beginning to bud off empires, when another ship was seen coming from the same direction the Grox came from. This time, the ship was friendly. The ship was coming from a distant galaxy of Pory, but that's all the info that could get transmitted before a Grox warship destroyed it. In present day Xa, the galaxy is flourishing with life. However, there is a dark side to the galaxy. There are several empires in Xa that are not nearly as friendly as the Terknai and Newikian empires are. Most of the "evil" empires are trying to become robotic, like the Grox. The biggest of these empires, the JayDerZian empire and the Grox, forged an alliance and created the Galactic Robot Federation. At the same time the GRF was formed, the Terknia and Newiks created the Galactic Liberation Alliance, or GLA. These two alliances are in a Cold War that, should they attack each other, would annihilate most of the galaxy. Fortunately, the empires continue to mind their own business at the moment.

Culture
Not much to see as far as culture goes, most empires are more science oriented than cultured. However, that doesn't mean there isn't any culture in Xa. One empire, the Vietola, is known having the biggest music selling company. In fact, the music company runs the Vietola empire! Another empire, the Komtru, is known for having invented the famous game Ruby Snatch!, a sport where a team of five competes to snatch a ruby from the center of the arena.

Government
The galaxy is governed by the Galactic Council, which creates all the laws, regulations, and restrictions in the galaxy. The Galactic Council also supports developing or struggling empires and attempts to defend the major empire. Unfortunately, some empires, like the ones in the GRF, refuse to obey the Galactic Council's rules.
