Great work AdmiralZo!

After the great crusades against our now vanquished enemies, the Imperium's legions have returned to their camps to publish an analysis of the great powers' forces and relative strengths in the galaxy. This information is correct as of cycle 4193 and serves as a general overview to see how each empire has chosen to invest its industry.
Hand is once again the most powerful empire in the galaxy following the defeat of the Union of Free Worlds in the Southern Crusade, with the largest jumpfleet and starfleet combined with substantial nebular forces. This is not an empire to be trifled with, and will likely endure for hundreds of cycles to come. The name of their capital is most apt - the Sole Survivor of wars and conflicts past, impossible to be defeated except perhaps through an alliance of other great powers...
The Great HOA0004, whose empire name still remains a mystery, is the next most powerful entity. In possession of a powerful starfleet rivalling Hand's, although its jumpfleet is only outmatched by the glorious Imperium, this sovereign also is set to endure. With an alliance with the neighbouring Dath, its dominion over the West is absolute.
Next, the glorious Imperium. Born in conflict and rising up twice more after defeat, at long last we have restored our honor by repaying every empire ever to cross us in kind, exacting terrible vindication and purifying their worlds with holy fire. Let the memorial worlds to NEWBIE, Trask and UFW be testament to our fury. We are now the single largest entity in the galaxy, although our starfleet is sub-par we will restore it to its former glory. Ad victoriam!
Last but not least, Dath is undergoing a period of rapid industrialization and militarization. Capturing over 100 worlds in the last few cycles, the former Bug King is truly a force to be reckoned with. They have not been tested in battle, but no doubt this new and frightening incarnation of the ancient galactic superpower known as buggzzzz is no entity to cross lightly...
