Attempted Galactic Consolidations

Azilene Empire
The Azilene Empire is the oldest known nation in the galaxy, dating back more than 10,000 years. 1,000 years ago the Azilene Empire attempted to seize control of the known galaxy at the time (33% less was known at the time). Prior to hot conflict, the Azilene Empire had expanded via political force. Many smaller and underdeveloped nations were pressured into de-militarizing completely, what followed was uncontested Azilene invasion.

The Azilene Empire expanded through more than 20,000 systems in the duration of 50 years until they discovered the Plobda Union. Upon discovery they demanded the Plobda Union de-militarize, and the Union refused. Unbeknownst to the Azilene at the time, the Plobda Union was far larger and stronger economically. This is the proposed theory for why the Azilene went to war with an enemy they could not win against. The war between the Azilene and Union lasted 140 years and killed over 800 trillion. During the later half of the war the Union began "uplifting" many primitive species, in an attempt to gain more man power to fight the Azilene. As a result the Azilene began committing against genocide primitive civilizations, many worlds were left lifeless after the conflict, including hundreds of primitive civilizations.

Plobda Union
The Plobda Union has been attempting to gain control of the galaxy for many millennia since its inception. Unlike the Azilene however the Union preferred peaceful and willing integration into their confederation. However one thousand years ago they had been discovered by the Azilene Empire, which prompted the Azilene-Plobda war. Following the war the Plobda Union abandoned its policy of galactic ambition and reverted to an isolationist foreign policy.
