You aliens never learn. We do not take orders from you; not from the Zoles King, not from the Wranploer General, not even from whatever rules the Grox. The Imalmah are the greatest people of this universe, and only we get to dictate it.

- Hunkle Biighed, Imalmah Highmaster

The Imalmah Hegemony was a nation of Imalmah who once lived in the Friura Sector of the Borealis Galaxy. The first political body of their species, the Hegemony was notable for being insular, deeply distrustful of aliens, and practicing a philosophy of supremacism that led them to look on other species as beneath them. It was considered among the worst places to live in the galaxy due to the Hegemony's paranoid obsession with surveilling their citizens, giving them no freedom whatsoever.

History[]

The Imalmah of Xtronznarter united under the rule of the Highmasters and ascended into space at 326 BC, where they established a foothold over the Friura Sector and made first contact with the Old Niaka Order within a few years. Since its foundation, the Hegemony practice a philosophy of supremacism towards aliens, leading to multiple territories conflicts against the Niaka, the Seagon, the Eaglartin and the Liopela.

Conflict with the Liopela, however, caused the Wranploer Legion to begin breathing down on the Hegemony, who was forced to cease their aggression out of fear of being enslaved; which the Highmasters relayed to their people as a sign of alien oppression. They did not aid either side of the First Borealis Galactic War, but were among the targets of the Azure Theocracy during their great crusade, and once that war was over, the Hegemony spread its influence further into other parts of the galaxy, enslaving multiple populations and causing havoc across other cultures, including being responsible for the destruction of the Elencean Republics of the Rafows.

With the coming of the Second Borealis Galactic War, the Hegemony nominally aligned itself to the Borealis Consortium Network purely out of commercial pragmatism, as they had no interest in aiding the Wranploer in anything other than fighting mutual threats such as the Devourer's Chosen and the Polar Crystal Alliance later, though they did contribute to the Great Galactic Fleet like most of the rest of the known galaxy. With the Consortium Network's collapse at the end of the war, the Hegemony officially ceased fire with the Polar Crystal Alliance, though they simply continued to antagonize their enemies in an unofficial manner.

With the coming of the Ice Age, the Hegemony's efforts to spread their influence were repeatedly thwarted by the Penumbra Unit, which led them into a partnership with the Benefactor. This, however, led to Xtronznarter being invaded by spies of the Dominion of the Xhodocto, their homeworld being plunged into anarchy after the Highmasters were killed by the Kicath Agent Chi. The Hegemony plunged into civil war afterwards, left vulnerable and open to an invasion by the Children of Synthesis which served as the final nail of its coffin.

With the Hegemony destroyed and their home territories lost, the surviving Imalmah who managed to escape were displaced across the galaxy, turning into refugees or space pirates.

Characteristics[]

Species[]

Government[]

The Hegemony was a deeply authoritarian state ruled by a small cabal of individuals named the Highmasters, who had complete control over part of its inner workings. By using propaganda and police crackdowns, the Highmasters enforced an idea that only they were able to shepherd the Hegemony to glory, being largely dismissive to the treatment of its citizens, who in turn were indoctrinated into not resisting. The Hegemony was completely unaccepting of treating aliens as anything other than slaves.

Society[]

Hegemony society was notable for being oppressive and extremely censored. Entering and leaving Hegemony territory was a very bureucratic and bothersome process which discouraged aliens into venturing on their planets, and slavery was a key part of its culture, with their slaver rings being feared across the galaxy. Imalmah were ruthless and merciless with their slaves and often targeted more vulnerable populations such as independent criminals, drug addicts, or even pre-spacefaring planets. The Hegemony's aggression and lack of empathy for others gave them a terrible reputation across the galaxy, who in turn indoctrinated their people into believing the aliens were responsible for all of their woes.

I am committed to the will of the Hegemony.

  • Name - Bakarl
  • Status - Deceased

Fleet Commander Bakarl was the highest military commander of the Hegemony's fleets, having made a name for himself for his raids across the galaxy's minor powers. Most other nations considered him as little more than a space pirates - in part due to a lack of understanding of the Hegemony's inner workings. Bakarl was particularly known for his treatment of the Rafows race, enslaving and killing them at every opportunity. He ultimately met his end in Xtronznarter, where he was killed by Agent Chi when it was attacked by the forces of the Benefactor.
