β | The '''High Empire''' currently exists as two distinct regions of space known as "Inner Imperial Space" and the "[[Reaches]]." Prior to the events of the [[Reunification War]], the [[Reaches]] existed in a rebellious, almost pirate-like state. Inconsistent raiding of planets within Inner Imperial Space was frequent enough to demand the [[High Emperor]] take action and declare that these planets should be conquered. Though which specific planets this included is not known at this time. Eventually, [[Varion Crestmar|Varion]] went on to perform a complete conquest of the [[Reaches]]. This plan of Varion's was against the Emperor's wishes.{{ |

β | The High Empire retains a sizable assemblage of forces, containing multiple fleets. Each fleet is generally led by a flagship, then followed by a number of cruisers, longships, and finally accompanied by a number of fighter squadrons. In addition to the High Empire, the planet [[Utaries]] maintained a sizable retinue of ships, lending to their capability of marshaling other planets to their cause. Other planetary systems throughout Inner Imperial Space and the Reaches have their own military forces, though the specifics of these forces is not known at this time.{{ |
