Acrolian Star Empire

The Acrolian Star Empire (ASE) was the government of the planet Acrolis from 20 BBY to roughly 2300 ABY. It was formed during the Clone Wars from the old Acrolian Republic, which was a part of the starwars:Galactic Republic. After an unsuccessful attack on the part of the CIS, the Acrolian populace decided to reform their government after giving emergency powers to famous Chancellor Drewika Ziratae. The new government was to be run by Ziratae as an emperor, a calling which Ziratae at first refused. Soon afterwards, Drewika consented with the added condition of preserving the Senate as a check on his power. The Empire expanded during that time, matching the size of the Hapes Consortium. The Empire retained its control during the Galactic Empire's rule, and well into the New Republic. The Empire grew more following the Second Galactic Civil War, during which it gobbled up numerous Galactic Alliance systems following an earlier Alliance attack on Acrolis. Following Drewika's death in 137 ABY, the Empire was modified to give the Senate more power over inter-planetary affairs. Drewika's son Draevus Ziratae resented this, as did other emperors after him, though this did not change until the ASE's destruction due to a civil war in 2300 ABY.
