The Anari and Nighten formed the Imperium to maintain a united rule for both races in order to maintain a peace and understanding between the two. Its ruled by a Counsel of six beings, Three from each race. Both species are very conservative bordering on isolationism, even between them selves. They had very little to no ties to the greater galaxy. They joined the Systems Alliance out of admiration for the aid that was freely given to them and the necessity of a stronger defense from a ever growing hostile galaxy.
