The Sha Savirit Empire is ruled by an emperor who hears the will of the people from a large group of democratically elected senators. Born of a need for cooperation post Scream, the Empire has brought three systems under its colours so far. The first being the engineered, super soldier race of people on Halgerd who, mostly, have left their warrior ways behind them to pursue the Heavy Industry the Empire now runs on their planet. The most recent being Panikouvi and the planet of Dynomen.
Most other sectors see the Empire as a potential threat, however no system is willing to withdraw their support and not only lose access to the Trade Hub Sha Savirit has become, but also risk the ire of their military.
