General details:

The empire is called União Popular Comunal de Caríbea, in english Comunal Popular Union of Caríbea or CPUC for short. A Fanatic Igualitarian / Materialist empire with the Shared Burdens and Meritocracy Civics (right now we also have the Beacon of Liberty Civic too) and the Broken Shackles origin.

Our main species is called Medusoana. And the first leader, the Orador(a) Maior, in english Higher Speaker, is a woman called Maharia.

Our new world is called Tarcadal Desacorrentada, in english Tarcadal Unshackled, an ocean world, now home to multiple species of ex-slaves all united around our shared goal of liberating the galaxy of capitalism and its slavery tendencies.

Backstory:

Daughter of a great revolutionary who participated in the Revolution of the Caríbea atoll, the greatest wonder of her homeworld. Maharia taught her enslaved comrades the imortal science of the proletariat coined by Kahorul Mahexs and took lead in the mutiny against the slavers.

The name of the empire is a reference and tribute to her father and the countless who fought for their freedom before, but ultimately failed. Their sacrifice now fuels the heart of countless others in hope for a better tomorrow.

Story and general run objective:

“Freeing ourselves from the shackles of the imperialist oppressors, we are the ex-slaves that form the party and galactic empire Comunal Popular Union of Caríbea, it is our duty to free the people oppressed by the decadent capitalism that somehow survived like a parasite until the cosmic stage of the people of our galaxy. The bourgeois-democratic empires, while enemies of the freedom of the people, are not our priority as long as they show us the same respect we will show them. And if possible, we will free and peacefully integrate them under our side. It is the authoritarians, imperialists and specially the slavers who we must not tolerate under any circumstance, it is them the enemy of the most diverse populace of our galaxy and the unscrupulous maintainers of the the most vile and decadent capitalism of this universe.”

What happened so far:

A shit ton of things happened in this run so far, so I'll detail some of the most interesting stuff I remember.

We quickly found out who enslaved us, it was a Megacorporation quite close to us, they called themselves a "Benevolent" empire, but we knew the truth and that couldn't stand. When we were big and strong enough we went to war with them and won. Before that, another group of Medusoannas under their empire revolted. At the time we couldn't help them directly so they didn't join our empire, but were crucial in defeating the Megacorp. Unfortunately they didn't learn from their past mistakes and they too enslaved people that later revolted against them, right now they still exist as an empire because they are vassals of a bigger hive-mind empire we have not managed to liberate yet, despite their multiple aggressions against us. We even had to become vassals of this hive-mind once, but used that as an opportunity to tech rush and expand enough to liberate ourselves. Also, when that happened I was neglecting the economy pretty hard and making a bunch of mistakes, so I also used it as an opportunity to correct that.

Despite that, we also faced multiple wars. At a time I felt like the Soviet Union because there were 5 empires at war with us at the same time lmao.

We also found a black hole early in the game that has some kind of worm entity inside it and it started a bunch of time traveling shenanigans that were pretty cool. Unfortunately we have not been able go back there yet. Outside of that I learned the hard way not to make defensive pacts, the AI will just shit itself and thing we can take on a larger threat, the cool part is that I turned it into a roleplay reason to change the empire's international policy, take a look:

“Twice have the CPUC tried to cooperate with our allies through unconditional support for mutual help, twice we were deceived into joining senseless wars with impossible enemies, first with an ally we wanted to pacifically integrate, now with comrades that used us as a cannon against the current galactic threat.

Materiality prevails and imposes itself indicating we should change our international policy. Smaller comrades are safer with us, pacific integration is the solution. Against the capitalists, liberation wars are our new policy, the workers of the galaxy must be freed from capitalism.”

Since this is already a massive wall of text, I'll rapid fire a few stuff: We have found multiple dimensions with alternate versions of ourselves. We have retrieved the Head of Zarqlan which has been essential for our military, to the point just the Fallen Empires are stronger than us, one is actually 3 fragmented empires, one is a robotic one that have done basically nothing so far, and the third one is the ones that sends me troops when I activate the Head of Zarqlan. And this last one I'm actually at war right now because of the small empire that used us to fight them that I mentioned above lol. Outside that, right now we are part of the galactic senate and are trying to vote for slavery to be banned. Also the Medusoannas just started evolving psychic abilities.

This is what the galaxy looks like right now. (Actually not exactly, since this print I have expanded more on the south of the galaxy.

And this is what the empire's government looks like right now. There are 4 Paragons there, with 2 being immortal, one of these being the Oracle.
