In the Dead of Night, a Great Bell is rung, heralding the Departure of an ancient Living God, who's reign had lasted some 3,000 years. Soon, the church bells of an entire Empire would join it in mourning. And with this last Death Knell of an Empire, the final Nail is driven into the Coffin of a long decayed Galaxy-wide Dynasty. And with the demise of a single Sovereign, an empire already severely cracked, would finally crumble. The God-Emperor of Ouroboros was extremely powerful, having access to the psychic and/or supernatural, a powerful Military, the most wealth in the galaxy, and a mind sharper than a mono-molecular blade. However, he made three decisions that upon his death would effectively sign the death sentence of his Empire, and quite possibly his dynasty. 1: He had children with a large Harem of wives and concubines that were taken from the most prominent Noble Houses (and even a few minor ones) 2: He designated No Heir and did not codify any laws of Inheritance, and 3: Towards the end of his reign he excused himself from much of the Empire's Affairs and allowed the Nobles much more freedom and autonomy than he previously had, which weakened his central Bureaucracy. And so, with that fateful Ringing shattering the last vestige of central authority, opportunists of all stripes, Noble Houses, Merchants, Warlords, and a countless horde of ravenous politicians descended like vultures to feast upon the fresh carcass that is the Ouroboros Galaxy, and the Previous Galactic Empire of all Mankind, every single one of them looking to snatch up as much power and territory as they can, lest they be gobbled up themselves. (You guys will be playing as any one of the Countless nations that arise from the collapse of the Empire and will be fighting to claim it, there are no aliens in this universe and so you must be human, but there are countless worlds out there and there is no telling how the environment might affect human evolution, not to mention the possibility of Bio-engineering, so feel free to come up with all sorts of mutant humanoids)
