Trans-Galactic Empire
The Trans-Galactic Empire (aka, TGE) is an intergalactic empire in Palladium's Rifts Megaverse which was built by a warrior race, the Kreegor and ruled from behind the scenes by the Lovecraftian-horror, The Dweller Beneath
The Trans-Galactic Empire spans across the three galaxies in the cluster (Thundercloud, Anvil, and Corkscrew). It does not control any single galaxy, only controlling big parts of all three and competing with rival interstellar regimes, two of them inter-galactic. The empire controls 1000s of worlds with over 6 trillion sentients. Though it includes many races, a half dozen make up the vast majority;
1.5 trillion - Kreeghor
900 billion - Human
600 billion - Machine People
540 billion - Wolfen
360 billion - Silhouette
300 billion - Noro
300 billion - Monros
1.5 trillion - other races
History
The TGE was established by the Kreeghor, a warrior race that was recruited by the Splugorth, inter-dimensional conquerors, to serve as one of their minion races. Unfortunately for the Splugorth, the Dweller Beneath, an eons-old Eldritch being, manipulated the Kreeghor into rebellion and secretly took control of the race. They then went on a war of conquest across the stars, expanding the "Kreeghor Dominion" and exterminating and enslaving many worlds.
Centuries ago they encountered the Noro Federation and Human Alliance, who were forced to joined forces and formed the Consortium of Civilized Worlds (CCW) as a defensive measure against Kreeghor attacks. Later the Kreeghor Dominion transformed into the Trans-galactic Empire which continued its campaigns of expansion and eventually fought a great war with the CCW, that led to a cold war afterwards.
