We’re Klingon Imperials Many dozens of star systems have argued with us and this expansion reaches many more every day.
You can influence the planet, but how? C’mon, let’s go! Join up!
Contribute to the pleasures of the Klingon Homeworld, the Empire is prosperous to everyone:
Wealthy and ancient civilizations; Competitions; and good eats!
Our Klingon ‘yeni cheri’ (Turkish for ‘new troops’) are many, fair, and brave.
Take spoils from conquered species; and many soldiers get in it for the Empire.
The Klingon empire powerfully protects an important planet that was a slit and decaying dictatorship or some crap.
Put down your puny weapons, open your hearts and minds, join the Klingon Empire now!
