History
Main article: History of the Atarian Empire

The Atarian Empire traces its roots to the Berbaquin Empire founded by the former king of the Great Ashtonian Empire, Emperor Anga Berb. That Empire ruled the lands of the Berb peninsula from the Earth years of 1682 to 2066. Emperor Iscardathia IV later allied with the other superpowers to coerce the smaller countries into bloodless surrender; the governments who resisted were decimated by the combined forces.

The founding of the global Atarian Empire took place in the Earth year of 2066, with Empress Iscardathia V as its leader. the battle of Sfendi was a short engagement between the Sfendian Military and the Atarian Space Patrol that ended in Atarian victory. The Smogga Kingdom surrendered to the empire without war. All former rulers were allowed to keep their power as prime ministers, however, they had to give up all rights of heredity bloodline and hold elections at the ends of their nine-year terms. By law, the Imperial Crown is the only government seat in the Empire allowed to be passed to an heir.
