Great Orion Empire
The Great Orion Empire (or Thakolarivaj) was a series of imperial states that existed early in Orion history. It was comprised of the First through Twelfth Orion Empires.[1]
History
First Orion Empire
In 200,993 BCE, following a long period of Orion colonization, piracy, and interstellar disputes, Nispavan I united the Orion homeworld of Rigel VII (Kolar) and its colonies. With these, he founded the Thakolarivaj and declared himself the first Emperor of All Space. This state lasted until almost 140,863 BCE, when it was destroyed by an unknown species employing robotic planet-killing craft from another galaxy. This imperium became known as the First Orion Empire, the first of twelve over the next approximately 136,000 years.[2]
Second Orion Empire
In (approximately) 32,700 BCE, the Second Orion Empire was caught up in a lengthy conflict with the First Federation. Both states interfered with the progress of developing worlds.[3]
Fourth Orion Empire
The Thakolarivaj reached its greatest extent during the Fourth Orion Empire, greater even than the First and pushed deep into the Alpha quadrant. In (approximately) 27,700 BCE, the Fourth Empire hastily abandoned a terraforming project on Rigel VIII (Tavar). It also founded Kohlor Station on Rigel X (Kohlor), on the site of an earlier Orion research facility, and installed its defense grid.[2]
