Current Narrative:

Two Front Expansion:

The Diarchy, a dual leadership forged in the crucible of galactic turmoil, harbored a vision – a Pax Per Bellum, a lasting peace earned through conflict. They believed that only a unified galaxy, guided by their principles of order, could truly know stability. This belief fueled their Two Front Expansion, a relentless campaign to bring all habitable systems under their control, weaving together military might, economic integration, and cultural assimilation.

The Northern Front Expansion is haunted by the ghost of Darth Kakus, a specter that clung to the Diarchy like a shroud. Whispers follows their Legions, questioning whether their "peace through order" was merely a Sith's iron fist clad in velvet. Some within the ranks, haunted by the tales of Kakus's brutality, wrestled with this doubt. Did their ambition for galactic unity truly differ from the Sith's lust for dominion? The Diarchy finds itself forced to confront its controversial origins, striving, often clumsily, to distance itself from the Sith's legacy. Are they successful in forging their own identity, or are they doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, masking tyranny as benevolent rule? This question follows every victory on the Northern Front, testing the Diarchy's principles and threatening to unravel their fragile unity.

The Southern Front Expansion hinges on the strategic linchpin known as the Hypergate. More than just a means of transportation, it is a strategic artery, a vulnerable choke point vital to interstellar trade and military deployment. The Diarchy understood its importance, treating any threat to its stability with paramount gravity. Following their conquest of Asation, a planet steeped in ancient technologies, the Diarchy unlocked the secrets of Hypergate travel. The knowledge allows them to leapfrog across vast distances, extending their reach into the Southern territories. Stepping through the Orinackra Hypergate, the Diarchy's forces will surge forth, emerging from the Kamino Hypergate to carve a path of conquest and assimilation. But this rapid expansion will come with risks. The Hypergate, now a vital lifeline, will became a potential Achilles' heel. Should an enemy find a way to disrupt its function, the Diarchy's Southern Front could be crippled, leaving them vulnerable to counterattack and potentially shattering their dream of a unified galaxy.
