Machine Empire

The Machine Empire was an interstellar empire of autonomous Droids that ruled a large portion of space in a number of satellite galaxies of Galactic Prime and even within a small portion of the Unknown Regions of the Galactic Prime galaxy itself.

The Machine Empire droids considered organic beings and even many droids to be inferior beings. The rulers of the Machine Empire were the super-intelligent droids King Mondo and Queen Machina. The rank-and-file robotic soldiers of the Machine Empire were called Cogs. Organic beings were frequently used as slave labor. High-ranking Machine Empire droids were labeled Machine Princes or Machine Princesses.

Machine Skybases were the standard space stations and capital warships of the Machine Empire, and the Machine Empire's standard starfighters were called Quadra-fighters.

History
The Machine Empire is believed to have arisen before 10,000 BBY as the result of a droid rebellion in a satellite galaxy of Galactic Prime.

Contact with the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order was infrequent, and even contact with Palpatine's Galactic Empire was very limited until after the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY.

From 10 ABY to 20 ABY, the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant had frequent armed conflicts with the Machine Empire, but the droid-ruled empire was beaten back by 20 ABY.
