Desert Empire

🌍 Dual-listed — also indexed under Planetary Governments

Type: Faction/Nation — Planetary Government (Empire) Capital: Maiha Location: Norihing continent Status: Canon (name/capital from Planetary Governments roster; historical role confirmed by creator)

Overview

Listed in Planetary Governments with capital Maiha. Confirmed by the creator as the instigator of World War 3 (1976–1987), a continental war on Norihing against Empire (Empire of Xanydeo and Xanthus), which took the role of defender. As the war progressed, other Norihing nations allied to one side or the other.

Its name and the presumed desert setting also make it a strong (though not formally confirmed) candidate to be geographically connected to the Shapas Desert and/or Dielvan Wac Desert regions of Norihing, given the shared continent and thematic naming.
