Ciutric Empire

The Ciutric Empire was a colonial empire and absolute monarchy that spanned over many sectors and reached it's peak during the early years of the Galactic Republic. Nationalist and monarchist elements within the early city-states on Ciutric IV were able to unify the planet after years of conquering, and using technology stolen from Republic scouts, began to spread, spanning across the modern. The Empire then began to invade nearby sectors and worlds, as the early Republic had poor military strength. It was able to spread far, as most worlds it came into contact with did not possess the same level of technology nor had the same level of military strength as the Empire. It quickly grew too vast for the Emperor to manage (the first being Wessex I), and thus many in conquered areas were established, acting as vassals of the Empire.

However, by 19,758 BBY, the Empire grew difficult too manage even with the use of local collaborators. Uprisings and revolutions, combined with economic decline at home, led to the overthrows of the puppet regimes established by the Ciutric imperials and the defeat of the various military garrisons located on conquered worlds. in that year, the Empire lost the majority of it's territory, and a republican revolution on the capital overthrew the monarchy. The Empire collapsed and was reformed into the Ciutric Hegemony, an aristocracy, by 19,747 BBY.
