The story is a continuation of the events of ''ComicBook/XMenDeadlyGenesis''. In that story, it was revealed that Vulcan aka Gabriel Summers, the long lost brother of ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and ComicBook/{{Havok}}, had served on an unknown team of X-Men who perished during an attempted rescue mission of the original five X-Men from Krakoa before Xavier recruited the "All-New, All-Different" team for that purpose. Two of Gabriel's teammates perished and Xavier erased Gabriel from Scott's memories to protect them from the truth. Gabriel also learned that he was a slave of the Shi'ar Empire and his mother had been killed by the Shi'ar monarch D'Ken. With this knowledge, Gabriel flew into space with the intention of revenge against the Shi'ar.

Added DiffLines:
''Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire'' is an ''Franchise/XMen'' storyline which ran from September, 2006 to July, 2007. The story is told in 12 parts across ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' #475 to #486.
The story is a continuation of the events of ''ComicBook/XMenDeadlyGenesis''. In that story, it was revealed that Vulcan aka Gabriel Summers, the long lost brother of ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and Havok, had served on an unknown team of X-Men who perished during an attempted rescue mission of the original five X-Men from Krakoa before Xavier recruited the "All-New, All-Different" team for that purpose. Two of Gabriel's teammates perished and Xavier erased Gabriel from Scott's memories to protect them from the truth. Gabriel also learned that he was a slave of the Shi'ar Empire and his mother had been killed by the Shi'ar monarch D'Ken. With this knowledge, Gabriel flew into space with the intention of revenge against the Shi'ar.
Fearing the danger Gabriel poses to anyone in his way, Xavier forms a team consisting of himself, Havok, Warpath, ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}, ComicBook/{{Polaris}}, ComicBook/RachelSummers and Gabriel's only surviving teammate Darwin to stop him.

!!''Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire'' contains examples of:
* TheAtoner: Xavier's team, with the exception of Nightcrawler and Darwin, consist of people who have done bad things in the past but are willing to atone for it. Havok and Polaris have both been BrainwashedAndCrazy at least once, Warpath originally attacked Xavier, wrongfully blaming him for his brother's death, Rachel captured and killed Mutants in the BadFuture she was from and Xavier is partly responsible for Gabriel's RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* AncestralWeapon: The Phoenix Blade is a sword which once belonged to a Shi'ar named Rook'shir who served as a Phoenix Force host. It contains a small remnant of the Phoenix's power and can only be used by member of Rook'shir's bloodline. As the last surviving member of Rook'shir's bloodline, Korvus is the only person in the universe who can wield it.
* BattleCouple: Havok and Polaris on the heroes' side. Gabriel and Deathbird.
* {{BFS}}: The Phoenix Blade is abnormally large yet Corvus is able to carry it as if it were a feather. As he states, ("For any hand but mine, it would be easier to lift a star, Raza. But to me it has no weight at all.").
* CurbStompBattle: Virtually every fight Gabriel is in has him steamrolling his opponent with contemptable ease. The only people shown capable of giving him a decent challenge, let alone beating him are Gladiator and Polaris.
