Kaira Empire

The Kaira Empire is (or was) an interstellar government in the M87 galaxy ruled by the Kaira species of Aras.

History
The Kaira Empire was formed a millennia before the founding of the Ga'anda Federation when the warring tribes of the planet Aras were united under the rule of brothers Nihat and Umar.

The Kaira Empire eventually achieved space travel after the invasion of Aras by the Akiri, a nomadic species which attempted to conquer Aras. After the failed invasion, the Kaira reverse engineered the technology left behind and used it to colonize numerous worlds and subjugate thirty-one species.

Their expansion came to an end after an encounter with the Lorehn Sovereignty, which managed to push the Kaira out of its borders.

After the Audem War, the Kaira Empire offered its assistance to the Ga'anda Federation's Project Koru in exchange for space on the arks.
