Terran Empire

The  is one of the nonplayer Minor Factions in Star Trek Armada 3.

History
There is the reality that you know. And, on another dimensional plane, there exists a twisted, dark reflection of that universe. So promising and yet so wicked. So familiar and yet so different. This is the universe in which the Terran Empire naturally exists.

Originally established in the mid 20th century, the Terran Empire was at the peak of it's power by the time of the 2260's. However, a string of demilitarization efforts made in the late 2200's lead to the rise of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. The Alliance almost destroyed the Empire, driving it back to the Sol system, with rumors spreading across the galaxy of the Empire's demise.

However, the Empire was far from dead, and spent the good half of a century planning it's rise back to power. When the Empire returned, it returned in overwhelming force, their new ships completely outmatching everything the Alliance had. The Terrans are now back as one of the major powers of the quadrant, eager to restore their lost empire.

In our universe though, conflicting reports suggest that small Terran strike forces have 'accidentally' crossed over from their native universe, and established small bases on planets across the galaxy. What is even more confusing though, is that these elements have shown a tendency to work with other factions if need be. Such reports are still disputed as to their factuality, although one can never know what to expect...
