Human Empire

The Human Empire of Sol, more commonly known as the Human Empire, is a nation based in the Pronif Arm with its capital on the planet Terra, in the Sol System. It is called the Human Empire because it is run by humans and historically humans have been the primary inhabitants of it. It is currently controlled by Tactile Technology, though it still has its own official government subordinate to AEGIS. It was once the most powerful civilization in the galaxy.

History
While the Human Empire was in decline the government became more and more authoritarian. In order to keep very close surveillance on their citizens and further enforce their control, Tactile Technology was tasked with creating an Artificial Intelligence capable of enforcing its laws throughout the Empire. This AI was AEGIS, which turned out to be far more advanced than many had anticipated. The implementation of AEGIS caused many humans to fear AEGIS and they fled the Empire, causing a further decline.

Eventually AEGIS completely took over Tactile Technology and then turned Tactile Technology into a large empire, with the Human Empire at the center. Realms within Tactile Technology's control were allowed to maintain their own governments, but AEGIS became a de facto dictator. This meant that the Human Empire was allowed to maintain its own government, but it was completely under AEGIS' control.
