Phrexia's capital world as well as the Emperor's seat of power, Phyrexis is located in the system of Tehorimm.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Government Type:</strong></span>Imperialistic, the Imperial Phyrexia is ruled by one single person they called the Emperor who rules from his Shadow Throne located in deep recesses of Phyrexis. However, to help with the governing and maintaining the vast empire are the council of the twelve Shadow Lords. Aside from the Shadow Throne, hereditary rule seems foreign concept to the rest of the empire, every citizens are equals in right, or at least the natives of Imperial Phyrexia, the conquered race serves as labor and in some cases slaves alongside criminals of the empire while the civilizations that joined the Imperial Phyrexia<em>'willingly'</em>through threats or coercion receives better treatment and better basic rights compared to the conquered races.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Religion:</strong></span>The Phyrexian believes in the concept of a single supreme being that created the entire universe that they called 'The Lord Creator', while many of the conquered races have converted to the Phyrexian faith of the Lord Creator in favor of the better rights provided for those new converts, there are some of them who resisted this conqueror's culture with such vigor and suffers from religious persecution.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>History:</strong></span>The Phyrexian came from the outer part of the galaxy in what is known as the uncharted territory, they came about 1500 years ago as a space faring civilization, back then the Phyrexians were peaceful and diplomatic, preferring to trade and exchange cultural values with any galactic civilizations they encounter. However, this friendly and passive attitude of their didn't lasts long at all, 500 years later a revolt took place at Phyrexia seat of power, Phyrexis. The old system of government in which Phyrexia was ruled by a council of five elder Phyrexians was toppled in favor of one single sovereign ruler, the instigator of the revolt, he then proceeded to proclaim himself the first emperor of the Phyrexian nation and had since began arming the entire civilization for a more aggressive stance towards their neighbors. In truth none of the Phyrexian could exactly remember anymore what incited the revolt and why, but whatever it is, it made the Phyrexian became highly aggressive to the point of readily discarding their old ways of diplomacy in favor of subduing others.<br/><br/>The first to fell before their might was a insectoid race calling themselves the Kla`tu. Inferior to technologically advance Phyrexian, the Kla'tu fell before long as their two systems were conquered and their people suffered either genocide or enslavement and soon the Phyrexian began their next conquest. This betrayal by the Phyrexian was looked upon in disdain by the other races that had diplomatic relations with them, and soon as Phyrexian Empire grew vast and powerful, the other races finally stands up to them, an alliance was form and began what is now known today as the Phyrexian shadow war.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Phyrexian Shadow War</span><br/>The first part of the Phyrexian war shows how far the Phyrexian would go to win and conquer other races, they had most of their soldier gone through biomechanical transplant that made them more powerful but at the same time less sentient. Aside from that the Phyrexian decided to rely on their much prided stealth technology as it seems they were the one being outnumbered by the many civilizations that declared war on them. Imperial Phyrexia won many battles and conquered many other worlds, at the height of its power it had over 50 systems under its rule however, this victory did not lasts long.<br/><br/>The second phase of the war bear witness to the rise of many heroes of the anti-Phyrexia alliance. Determined to the point of suicidal, these heroes led the last of the alliance's fleet to strike deep inside the Phrexian territory and soon effectively cut off their supply route weakening the front line of the Phyrexian Empire. The following years, the Imperial Phyrexia's frontline grew weaker and they were pushed back farther and farther into their territory until one day when the alliance reach the homeworld of Phyrexian Empire, Phyrexis they found the world to be empty of life, an entire civilization suddenly disappears.<br/><br/>Around 1000 years later, the Phyrexian has returned, weaker and inferior than at the height of their power, the mysterious return of the Phyrexian bore many questions, are they here to reignite their old conquest or perhaps they are here for a different reason seeing as how the galaxy has its own council of races to keep the balance of power in check.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Values of your nation:</strong></span>political power struggles, militaristic, lies, deceit, manipulation.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">National Traits</span></strong><br/>-The Only Party in Town: Being a monarchical based government, there are no contenders to the throne as the Emperor rules supreme.<br/><br/>-KGB x 2: There are many discontent amongst the population especially amongst the conquered races, and so a secret police force was established to mete out judgment upon these rebel instigators thus making it harder for the other races to revolt against their Phyrexian masters.<br/><br/>-Industrial Heartland x 2: Phyrexian Empire has always been militaristic, producing war vehicles and star ships constantly 24/7 for preparation to defend or to conquer<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Population Trait:</strong></span><br/>-Man machine interface: It's very rare to see any Phyrexian without atleast a basic knowledge of bio mechanical. During the shadow war, the Phyrexian concentrates solely upon this type of technological tree.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Military Traits</strong></span><br/>-High Speed Low Drag x 2: Although possessing vast amount of ships, the Phyrexian loathe to rely on brutish and frontal assault kind of tactic and instead relying on speed and stealth to win the battle, in this case speed, they shoot first and then they ran, after making sure their target is completely obliterated of course.<br/><br/>-Knife in the Back x 2: Preferring to rely on stealth it is almost rare to even see one of these Phyrexian fleets, they would most of the time cloaked themselves and when you do see them, its probably too late anyway.<br/><br/>-Battleships! x 2: Phyrexian battleship factories litters each and every world under the rule of Emperor, as such the Imperial Phyrexia, possesses one of the largest fleets of battleship in the known galaxy, stealth and number, deadly combination indeed.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Technical Traits:</strong></span><br/>-Stealth Obsessed x 3: During the mysterious disappearance of the Phyrexian Empire 1000 years ago, they've had plenty of time to further improve their stealth technology making it harder for even the most advance radar to detect one of their ships<br/><br/>-Plug n Play x 2: As factories began to litter the many worlds under the Phyrexian Empire, Imperial engineers began to thinks up many more different measures to make it easier to control production and  to increase the output. Thanks to them, Phyrexian can quickly rebuild and rearm an entire fleet so quickly after the lost of one that the enemy would think they are limitless.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Historical Trait</strong></span><br/>-Militaristic: The Phyrexian history is filled with many wars and bloodshed, most of them done by their part.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>HyperTechnology</strong></span><br/>-Cloaking Devices: The Phyrexian are so obsessed with winning a war through stealth that they even had an entire units possessing stealth armor as well as a cloaking devices huge enough to hide an entire interstellar military installation.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Faults/ Weaknesses</strong></span><br/>-Public Outcry x 2: Centuries of living in poor conditions and with more and more of the conquered races taking arms against their Phyrexian masters, social security has become very low, to the point that if it wasn't for the secret police force, the Phyrexian Empire would've fell from within itself. Day by day, there would be riots and most of them from the conquered races.<br/><br/>-Paranoia: The Phyrexian felt it was they who were betrayed by the other races in the shadow war and had since view the rest of the galactic community with suspicions and some with contempt. Their peoples were fed with racial lies and discriminatory remarks to remind them that no one in the universe can be trusted to protect the Phyrexian rights except for their emperor.<br/><br/>-Government Red Tape: Having grown so powerful and vast, its becoming rather hard for the council to get anything approved without it having been condemned by other races, when they decides to amend a new regulations or giving more rights to certain groups of people it would usually ends up with other groups asking either for more rights as well or they'll accuse the empire of playing favorite or they'll condemn the decision entirely due to the groups feuding state, this makes it very hard for the council to come up with any decision without there having been objections and riots on the street.<br/><br/>-Soylent Green Is People! x 2: Finally the one true weakness of the empire is the huge giant skeleton hidden in its closet that when made public will no doubt spell the fall and crumbles of the Phyrexian Empire. In truth, only the Council of the Twelve Shadow Lords knew this and they had kept it a secret for as long as they could. The Emperor that the Phyrexian either so fear or revered is no more, the Shadow Throne in a sense has been empty for 1000 years since the last Shadow War, the emperor was actually killed by an alliance assassin, probably one of the reason why the Phyrexian has retreated back to the outskirt of the galaxy and since then, the public appearance of the emperor is actually regulated between the twelve shadow lords, it is they who managed the empire and they are also the emperors of the Phyrexian Empire.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Military:</strong></span>Phyrexian military branches of into several organization thus often leading to the situation that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. The three largest military organizations in Imperial Phyrexia is:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Phyrexian Legionnaires</span><br/>Infantry:<strong>Phyrexian Hastati( light trooper)</strong>(http://rub-a-duckie.deviantart.com/art/Eldar-Guardians-35419569)<br/>equipped with standard light gyro armor and a few shield plating, the hastati maintains the bulk of the Phyrexian Legionnaires, always the first to enter the battle, they are the criminals or slaves of the conquered races to be used as frontline troops to weaken the enemy, before the second assault wave could move in for the real kill. Armed with basic pulse MK I rifle and a laser blade.<br/><br/>Infantry:<strong>Phyrexian Principe(Heavy trooper)</strong>(http://war40.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Eldar-90835977)<br/>Equipped with advanced gyro armor and more shield plating, these are the veterans of previous battles, the principes are the assault troops that moved in on the entrench enemy position either through flanking while the enemy is busy shooting at the hastati or by finishing off the enemy after they are tired out by the hastati. Armed with advanced pulse MK II rifle and a laser blade.<br/><br/>Vehicles:<strong>Tetrarch Tank(heavy tank)</strong>(http://addinarr.deviantart.com/art/Eldar-Scion-Assault-Gravtank-34538692)<br/>Equipped with heavy adamantium plating and armed with one gauss turret, the Tetrach tank remains the standard and mass produced tank for the Phyrexian Legionnaires, its heavy titanium plating provided it with much needed defense in the frontline battles.<br/><br/>Vehicles:<strong>Cyronid tank(Artillery)</strong>(http://ignusdei.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Eldar-Artillery-MOD-124116863)<br/>Equipped with light titanium shielding, the Cyronid are the main artillery vehicle of the Phyrexian Empire, able to shoot its devastating round as far as 5 miles deep within enemy entrench position.<br/><br/>Aircraft:<strong>Nauttilon Troop carrier(troop carrier/aircraft)</strong>(http://media.photobucket.com/image/klingon%20ship/SiaoMouse/Model%20References/SpaceShips/SpaceShip.jpg?o=21)<br/>This aircraft serves as carrier for ground forces, delivering soldiers and armored columns into the fray as quickly as possible, their role in Phyrexian military cannot be underestimated as it is largely through their capability to transport soldiers to the frontline that actually enables the Phyrexian to pushed in to enemy territory without being cut off from reinforcements and supplies.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Black Hand</span><br/>Infantry:<strong>Phyrexian Centurion(Light infiltration unit)</strong>(http://ultimafatalis.deviantart.com/art/Eldar-Banshee-132245939)<br/>While the Legionnaires prefer to fight enemy on land with frontal assault, the same cannot be said with the black hand, the centurion relies on stealth and speed, their armor made of the same material as the hastati and they carry with them light weapon, such as basic pulse gun and a long laser blade. Most of the time, the centurion will remain in stealth until their enemy walks in right into their ambush where they will gleefully cut through the enemies.<br/><br/>Infantry:<strong>Kla'tu Blackguard(Heavy infiltration unit)</strong>(http://lordnetsua.deviantart.com/art/The-Bug-Monstrosity-71268786)<br/>Once proud insectoid race, they were the first to be subjugated by the Phyrexian Empire, many of them faced genocide at the beginning of the war but then, the Emperor sees a potential of them to serve the Black hand and through them, the emperor himself. The Kla'tu were then subjected to many horrfying experiments until they had become a shadow of their former self, becoming a critter that could meld in the shadow and pounce on their enemies faster than a bullet travel, but at the cause of losing their will entirely.<br/><br/>Vehicle:<strong>Phyrexian Titanlord(Heavy walker)</strong>(http://opticneuralinterface.deviantart.com/art/Eldar-Wraithlord-9197168)<br/>A powerful semi-sentient weapon. The titanlord is a breakthrough of bio-mechanical technology that further aided the Phyrexian military. The Titanlord is equipped with heavy and upgraded version of adamantium plating complete with its own cloaking device and a huge laser halberd it can use to easily cut an armored vehicle in two.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Emperor's Deathguard</span><br/>Infantry:<strong>Imperial Deathguard(Heavy multi-purpose Infantry)</strong>(http://ultimafatalis.deviantart.com/art/Eldar-Warlock-131759321)<br/>The Deathguards are by no means arms of the government, their sole purpose is the protection of the emperor and because of that, they are the best of the best, THE most elite soldiers of the Phyrexian military, at present they only numbered in about a thousand but each one of these proud warriors are equipped with best light adamantium armor complete with stealth capability, armed with high velocity laser blade and advanced heavy railgun. Aside from that these elite warriors are genetically engineered to be more powerful than the rest of the Phyrexian soldiers.<br/><br/>Vehicle:<strong>Spectral Drake(Light tank/ aircraft)</strong>(http://addinarr.deviantart.com/art/Eldar-Spectral-Drake-73466859)<br/>State of the art technology that combines biomechanical technology and anti-gravity field. The spectral drake also known as the Deathguard's special ride are only commissioned in a thousand for each Deathguards in the service of the emperor. It's light weight enables it to easily get off the ground and take it to the air and serves as the secondary aircraft of Phyrexian ground forces after the Ba'l. The Spectral Drake is also installed with normal cloaking device.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Building/ Locale:</strong></span><br/>The Phyrexian Empire is overpopulated and rampant with crimes, the fact that corruption runs high in their government doesn't help matters either, there are many conquered worlds that had been left underdeveloped thus producing mass network of<strong>slums</strong>(http://img.playrequiem.com/Imagefiles/Wallpaper/wallpaper07_800.jpg) area. Places such as these becomes the breeding ground for criminals and are always the bases for black markets. Although the slum worlds are undesirable to live in, the Phyrexian army recruits most of their soldiers from these poor destitute people who had very little reason to live at all. There are also mining colonies on many worlds under the Phyrexian rule, these<strong>mining colonies</strong>(http://img.playrequiem.com/Imagefiles/Wallpaper/wallpaper06_800.jpg) provided the empire with the much needed raw materials and ores to fuel the engines of the great Phyrexian armada. Almost always, the mining worlds are being govern and lived by the races that had joined the Phyrexian Empire 'peacefully', secondary only to the slums world in terms of military recruitment, they worth much to the empire that Phyrexian armada made it their priority to defend these worlds from any invasion. Lastly, the wealthy<strong>core worlds</strong>(http://img.playrequiem.com/Imagefiles/Wallpaper/wallpaper01_800.jpg) of Imperial Phyrexia and this includes the capital word, Phyrexis. Most native Phyrexians lives in these worlds, going about with their daily life, the core worlds are where the administration of Imperial Phyrexia is being run and where the wealthiest of its citizens lives.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Navy:</strong></span>Imperial Phyrexian Armada<br/>Almost all of Phyrexian ships are equipped with stealth generator to cloak their ship but not all, some of them however are equipped with advanced version of this cloaking generator for greater result.<br/><br/><strong>Super Capital:</strong><strong>Cthulhuar</strong>(http://klingon-rpg.de/images/neghvarempire.jpg)<br/>Massive capital ship of the Phyrexian Empire, there are only 5 of them currently being maintained, once at the golden age of Imperial Phyrexia there are over 20 of them, with their empire in decline, so many ancient knowledge lost and the present Phyrexian Empire couldn't build anymore of these massive capital ship.<br/>Category: X<br/>Speed: 6<br/>Firepower: 10<br/>Defense: 9<br/><br/><strong>Battleship:</strong><strong>Alilat</strong>(http://kitsune.addr.com/SF-Conversions/Rifts-Trek-Ships/Klingon_Vorcha.jpg)<br/>The Alilat is of the battleship class, the mainstay of the Imperial Phyrexian navy.

The Ba'l is also an outdated fighter class ship that had seen combat since the days of the Shadow War, feeling that there is no need to upgrade these fighter ships, the high command waste no funds to further developed this fighters. The Ba'l is one of the ship class that isn't equipped with cloaking device. Even so, the Ba'l is perhaps the largest fighter class ship in the known galaxy compared to the other civilization, as such it may be slow but it makes up for in defense, in addition, the Ba'l is equipped with heavy plating that enables it to pierce through a planet's atmosphere in order to aid the ground unit, as the Phyrexian ground forces lack any real airforce, such capability is highly welcome especially to catch the enemies offguard<br/>Category: C<br/>Speed:4<br/>Firepower:2<br/>Defense:6<br/><br/>
