| abstract | - The Regalis Imperium was an empire that came to power fifteen thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. Starting on the planet Arcis, the Imperium (at the time known as the Regalis Kingdom) originated as a collection of colonists that had crash-landed on the world. Due to the volatile nature of their arrival on the world, the people of Arcis had little to work with in terms of advanced technology, and had to start close to scratch to rebuild. Over the centuries, the people of Arcis came to forget about their origins and history, as with each passing generation a portion of their past faded away. It was, roughly, 13,467 BBY when the Kingdom had lost all knowledge of its heritage and came to the point of rebuilding from the ground up. When the Dark Wars hit the Kingdom, its results were devastating, including the loss of several historical records and many prominent individuals, and from the ashes of the Regalis Kingdom, came the Regalis Imperium. Over the millennia, the Imperium became strong, and expanded outward. Initially, it was a war-like nation, conquering neighboring star systems and subjugating any prior occupants. However, after the aquisition of Agros and Kalassi, this tendacy disappeared with a more pacifist approach. Regardless, expansion was often met with war, given the nature of the inhabitants of the Unknown Regions, and it became clear to the Imperium that their nature of existence would have to rely on their military might.
