| - The Earth Empire is the oldest organisation in the Human race, and was formed sometime in the 3rd millenium and existed sometime until the mid-5th millenium, it's sole purpose was to dominate the colonies and destroy all that refuse it's control. The Earth Empire was formed on Earth and had a government structure similar to the Russian Empire, with the leader of government known as the Csar and the government was a semi-democratic organisation which is run by not only the Csar but a parliment with ministers that represent the Earth's people. The Empire was presumably created sometime before or after 3095 as a way to govern Earth and all founded colonies. The Empire enjoyed considerable prosperity following colonisation of Alpha Centauri in 4175, but this was due to a ruthlessly authoritarian governing of the colonies, in order to send a majority of exports to Earth, as with the Csars' wishes. This evetually led to widespread rebellion known as the First Colony War. The Earth Empire's colonial representative was the Colonial Navy with its vast battleships, fleets of fighters and millions, possibly billions of troops.
- The definitive date of the formation of the Empire remains unknown. Around 2501, Earth was controlled by EarthGov. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside) In the 2530s, an Earth Federation existed. (PROSE: The Colony of Lies) By 2472, Earth was severely polluted and overpopulated, with a hundred billion citizens. (TV: Colony in Space) In 2480, Earth was invaded by the Korven, leading to a human victory. Tensions between the Earth Empire and the Korven lasted until at least 2618. (TV: The Korven) Food was imported from the colonies. In the 26th century, cities like New Glasgow and New Montreal were built in the Arctic, and population control laws restricted families to one child unless they moved to the Arctic cities. A free press and broadcasting service existed. (TV: Frontier in Space) The Earth Empire continued to grow and established Skybases as command centres wherever Earth had a presence. (TV: The Mutants, PROSE: Cold Fusion) In the 26th century, humans occupied one part of the Milky Way galaxy, while the Draconian Empire occupied another. There was a war between the two after a cultural misunderstanding (humans being unaware that Draconians sent battlecruisers to diplomatic meetings), ending with articles of peace that guaranteed a "frontier in space" between the two; trade agreements and cultural exchanges were instituted to lessen tensions. (TV: Frontier in Space) In a later presidential election, war hero John Williams campaigned for an "aggressive inter-stellar policy" against the successful candidate. She appointed him to her government to heal political divides. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Space War) In 2540, , employing Ogrons, stirred up war between Earth and Draconia on behalf of the Daleks. Faked attacks on frontier craft had the human public and political opposition soon demanding war. His plan was exposed (TV: Frontier in Space) and the Second Dalek War began. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad) It would rage on for decades, with an entire "Dalek Generation" who couldn't remember peacetime. (PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks) Mars itself was occupied. (PROSE: Beige Planet Mars) Not every human in space chose to live in the Earth Empire. One band of the anarchist Travellers, for example, settled on Heaven, a neutral planet used as a burial ground by both sides. (PROSE: Love and War) Some time after the 26th century, the Earth Empire invaded Tractis and enslaved the Tractites. (PROSE: Genocide) In the 28th century, the Empire came to Sense Sphere to exploit its mineral wealth. Two humans deserted the Sense Sphere in their spaceship while pretending to get reinforcements, but their Commander blew up the ship, leaving three humans stranded for ten years as they slowly poisoned the Sensorites from the aqueducts. When more humans came, the Sensorites held them hostage until the the First Doctor and his companions made peace. (TV: The Sensorites) Some time before the 30th century, the Earth Empire attacked the Greld homeworld, conquering it and turning it into the prison planet Dis. (PROSE: Original Sin) A Third Dalek War would put a stop to the Empire's expansion for a while. (PROSE: The Chase, Sky Pirates!) In later centuries, the Empire became increasingly more unequal, prejudiced, and under the control of a Divine Empress. (PROSE: Secret of the Black Planet, Original Sin) In the 28th century, townships around the major cities were no-go areas and travel permits were required to leave them; Earth was divided into regions (including the moon) and administered by a president, with Africa, South Chinese Union, and the moon as the wealthiest; and the IT corporation Panafrica, run by the mighty Rohihlahla family, had rewritten history to portray Nelson Mandela as the founder of apartheid, to support the contemporary African elites and their apartheid policies. The Rohihlahlas' machinations were exposed and the dynasty is supplanted by the Forresters. PROSE: Secret of the Black Planet) In 2850, a new Empreess was coronated.(PROSE: So Vile a Sin) By the mid-30th century, an aged Divine Empress reigned from her Imperial Palace in orbit around Saturn, with a feudal system in place. The empire was conquering alien planets and most imperial subjects were prejudiced against other species, even though humans, by this time had learned to "body bepple" into new, sometimes alien-seeming forms. Earth Reptiles had the highest status among non-human species, as they were Earthborn. The rich lived in hovering Overcities, leaving the poor and alien on the polluted surface of the Earth, with the decaying former cities like London; even the Overcities were stratified by wealth, with the relatively poorer confined to lower levels. The Imperial Landsknechte and the Vigilant space defences had Earth defended. (PROSE: Original Sin, So Vile a Sin) Environmental devastation had left Earth in a degraded state. On conquered alien worlds, human "Overlords" ruled aliens, who had lesser rights, from Skybases. (TV: The Mutants) In 2957, the Earth Empire had recently fought the latest of the Wars of Acquisition. This had included the Empire terraforming the Hith homeworld and leaving the species homeless, as well as Earth itself being bombarded. Icaron radiation from a Hithis ship held by Tobias Vaughn sparked off a wave of psychotic murders which escalated to Overcity riots and some cities falling from the sky. (PROSE: Original Sin) This started the Empire's downfall. In the late 30th century, the Empire had begun to crumble: with Earth exhausted politically and economically, it could not afford an Empire and began giving independence to its colonies.(TV: The Mutants Attempts were made to check the fall of the Empire, with little success. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice) In 2982, as a war with the Ogrons dragged on and political factions vied for power, the Seventh Doctor and his companion, the Adjudicators Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej got involved in a political struggle which would end in the installation of Roz's sister, Leabie, as the new Empress. The current Empress was centuries old and her mind was slaved to the computer intelligence Centcomp, which effectively ran her Empire, and requested the Doctor kill her. (PROSE: So Vile a Sin) Within five years of becoming Empress, Leabie Forrester dismantled the Empire, granting independence to every planet whether they wanted it or not. After which, Earth was abandoned by its former colonies as the Overcities fell out of the sky, and the remaining population descended into barbarism, with the surviving humans turning on the aliens as sources of food. (PROSE: Dependence Day) Its collapse left a power vacuum that, by the 34th century, would be filled by the Earth Alliance, a more loose alliance of Earth and its colonies (AUDIO: The Sirens of Time, Invasion of the Daleks), and the Galactic Federation, which would be less Earth-centric and human-dominated (PROSE: The Dark Path) A Terran Federation also existed by the late 29th century. (AUDIO: Occam's Razor) On Earth itself, humanity would rebound in the later 31st century. Survivors of the Overcities would form Europa in former Europe (PROSE:Managra) and the Fifth Doctor said the 31st century was "all space cities and monorails." (AUDIO: The Butcher of Brisbane) The planet would become a founding member of the Federation in the 32nd century. (PROSE: Legacy) The Galactic Federation would last to at least the 41st century, upon which it was fatally damaged in a war with the Daleks (PROSE: Legacy), and the Earth Alliance to at least the 41st century until its own Dalek war. (AUDIO: Invasion of the Daleks) An Earth-centred humanity was already quite powerful in 4000 (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) and would evolve into the Earth Empire's successor, the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire. (TV: Planet of the Ood)
