Stellar Imperium
When Collapsar destroyed and devoured the capitol world of Magna-Lor, Star-Khan saw his opportunity and seized it. The armies of the Stellar Khanate poured across the borders of the Republic as loyal agents within committed acts of sabotage, opening the way for the invasion. At almost the same time, the Grue struck at the wounded Republic, seizing border worlds and sowing chaos throughout the Star Navy and the bureaucracy with their own sleeper agents. The cunning Star-Khan expected this and turned it to his advantage by making the citizens of the Republic an offer: would they rather become slave subjects of the Grue, crushed beneath the Meta-Mind’s eternal rule, or were they willing to give their allegiance over to a proven general with the military might and skill to oppose the Grue and protect them from this threat as well as the looming danger of Collapsar. Most of the Republic had little choice but to give in to Star-Khan’s demands and elect him Supreme Praetor for as long as the crisis endured. Few had any illusions about the crisis ending anytime soon, if ever.
Star-Khan wasted no time in imposing military rule over the Republic and repelling the Grue invaders. He placed his own generals and officers in key command positions, but also promoted and maintained those in the Star Navy willing to swear allegiance to the new order, vetted by loyal hound mentats. He has promised to begin the process of restoring the lost Republic Senate, but has delayed elections "until such a time as the domain is secure once more" in conjunction with the creation of the Stellar Imperium to replace the old Republic. Order, sure and unrelenting, is the primary business of former Republic member worlds as their citizens attempt to go on with their lives, grateful they do not share the fate of the planets taken by the Grue, or destroyed by the all consuming darkness of Collapsar.
