Mizani Empire

The Klymu Empire (often known as the Empire) is an interstellar power in the north Andromeda Galaxy grid. It originated from the planet Lethun and has since expanded to 50 different systems. Despite their small size, each colony is built to be a fortress.

History
Most Klymu of the Empire have descended from either the Klogin or the Koden, two forms of Klymu that built impressive civilizations on Lethun. When a Klymu fleet discovered the warp drive, a war was fought over who had the rights to it. The result was the creation of the Klymu Independet Flotilla, and the two became separate factions leaving on negative terms.

Government
The Empire is a highly religious society with a hierarchy of four classes. On the top is the emperor, palace officials and priests. The next highest class were the artisans who built temples and other structures. The third class consists of commoners, while the lowest class are laborers.

Each Klymu colony had its own set of gods to worship. These gods would be the planets and the star in their solar system, and each colony was responsible for pleasing them. However, Lethun and its moons remained the most important of all gods. To lose control of a colony to an invading empire would mean that their gods rejected them. To earn their favor, they would need to reclaim the colony again.

Religion was also used to solidify order in the Empire. Hammori's laws, created after the Klymu became space faring, have remained relatively unchanged over time. These laws often came across as draconian and violent - punishments followed the "eye for an eye" principle. That is, if someone poked out the eye of another, if proven guilty, the offender will have his eye poked out. Innocence is presumed until proven guilty, to the point where if the plaintiff cannot provide sufficient evidence, they will be punished themselves.
