The Interstellar Human Military Junta.
Its territory had already been vast. Now, after annexing two great empires-the Human Federation and Minamar Specialized Industries-Xi Yan's domain was larger than ever.
It encompassed a full seventh of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Milky Way Galaxy in this universe was far smaller than its real-world counterpart, but enormous compared with the game's.
The Interstellar Human Military Junta possessed vast territories and countless colonies. Its government wielded absolute power and was ruled solely by the immortal Grand Marshal as a dictator, while the Secret Police monitored the entire Empire without restraint and carried out the Marshal's orders.
Every colony had scientifically devised plans and comprehensive development programs. Districts, buildings, and jobs were meticulously arranged to serve the Empire's grand strategy, yielding immense resources and forming the foundation of its prosperity and strength.
All citizens had completed synthetic ascension, abandoning bodies shaped by a million years of failed evolution for mechanical ones. Their every word and action was strictly monitored by the Empire's coercive apparatus. Internally, the Empire was rock-solid, and every citizen held an exalted faith.
Territory, colonies, population, and fleets together formed a powerful Human Empire.
To face the crisis, shipyards across the nation had built fleets that blotted out the sky. They patrolled its territory without pause, protecting the Empire's precious assets.
In sheer fleet numbers, the Empire feared no Lost Empire.
The Holy World Guardians had lain dormant for years, long since losing the drive to expand. Even their people had no desire to advance. How could such an ancient, declining nation, relying solely on past glory, withstand an empire charging ahead at full speed?
With his fleets in hand, Xi Yan had no fear of an open rupture. He simply stood in the conference room, smiling at the Holy Guards.
