What is the story of Galactic Emperor: Hegemony?
For millennia the major races of the galaxy have reached out to the stars, colonizing systems and scattering their people to the winds. However the ram ships and slow boats they used have been limited to the speed of light, and thus no true empire has ever been founded. Now, the universe is changing. All across the galaxy artifacts of the Shining Ones have begun operating, giving planetary Overlords access to an ancient space station named Abode, and with it access to the technology of the ancients. The Overlords have begun to adopt the technologies they have found in Abode, including the miraculous Pinpoint Drive and the dreaded Death Probe. If the Shining Ones purposefully left behind a cache of technology to bring an era of peace and prosperity to the galaxy, they would be bitterly disappointed. Instead, a race has begun for rulership of the known worlds. Each Overlord is intent on forming the first Hegemony of a Galactic Empire, a state that will reign over its fellows.
