Kuenthire Empire

Summary
The Kuenthire Empire is a small-medium sized empire in the north east of the galaxy. Traditionally traders and relatively primitive, they have developed in recent times. Their empire stands over multiple large star sectors, and they maintain a respectable, though relatively low tech and destroyer heavy, navy.

Fate
Previous to the Three Solars War, the Kuenthire Empire engaged in disruptive border fights with the Kaelian Republic, who they viewed as secular enemies along with the Daersi Republic, and used their influence and minority population in the Kuenthire Empire to gain influence in trade companies, until the harsh rule of Kaol Turisao against these power grabbing attempts stopped their progress.

They also obliged the Human Federation of Ideals request to blockade the northern half of the port of Nuuten, the northmost trade port of the D'varo Democratic State, and benefited from taking much of the redirected trade to their local systems.

Observer ships from the Empire watched the invasion of the Kaelian Republic with joy, and propoganda favoured warring and conquering the Kaelians. The opinion dampened as some atrocities came to light, some affecting relatives of the Kuenthiruans, and it became clear the HFI would occupy north and east Kaelian Republic areas.

The Kuenthire Empire was officially neutral during this beginning period of the Three Solars War.

They joined the Human Confederation for Freedom midway through the war when the HFI was approaching their peak, and tore their population apart by the way of big groups on either side forming militias and threatening a civil war. The civilian and militia proto-rebel population mainly secluded themselves each into independent systems and revenue went down as the empire lost sovereignty of core sectors, killing off the governments power. Swathes of the empire were annexed by the HFI and the westmost quarter was occupied by the Kaelian Republic after the war.
