1. INTRODUCTION
You are the Emperor of the Terran Empire. Your goal is to keep the Empire from falling apart and possibly expand it and be crowned the Emperor of the Whole Galaxy (check Empire/Victory tab for details).

The Empire faces many struggles and dangers. From the outside the imperial borders are constantly pushed by civilized alien powers, vicious primitive aliens and even invaders from other dimensions. From the inside the Empire is eaten up by corruption, disloyal imperial officials, court intrigue, assassins, saboteurs, traitors and notorious rebels.

You lead from your throne on Terra, by issuing high level orders, edicts and appointing proper people to imperial offices. You dont deal with low level stuff like building farms, so dont worry about these, just make an edict you want the governors to focus on food production and they will do it. You also grant audiences, decide on numerous issues and meet with alien ambassadors.
