Chiruq Imperium

The Chiruq Imperium is a militant, expansionist empire, ruled by a small cadre of force-sensitive elites, located in an isolated portion of the Galaxy. While their own history is unclear, even to them, it is apparent that the Imperium’s elite are descended from a small Sith group, based on evidence of their relics and their teachings. How this group emerged so far from any mainstream Sith culture remains a mystery, however, although evidence suggests that they were refugees from some prior conflict.

Over the centuries since its foundation, the Imperium has grown to become a relative superpower within its own geographically isolated stellar region. This growth has been primarily achieved through military conquest of neighbouring star systems in a series of wars. While they maintain a large army to their size, the Chiruq, as with much of their neighbours, possess relatively low technology.

While the Imperium goes to great lengths to recruit and train Force users from within its own population, they do appear to be unaware of the existence of other Force-using traditions known to the grater Galaxy. Instead, their background with the Force seems to be derived from an archaic version of the Sith code that has not only drifted form its origins, but also intermixed and combined with local traditions.
