* BlasphemousBoast: After becoming a PhysicalGod though Descendion and keeping the Imperium alive, Uriel has come to completely discard Drakon because where was he when Andromeda burned?
-> "Drakon did not save you, I did!"
** After absorbing the power of the Andromedan Artifacts, Master Br'Klakkon gets completely drunk with power. Declaring himself to be more powerful than even the highest Nars and promising to remake reality.
-> "I have become stronger than Sanktanaars themselves."
** Being a {{Flanderization}} of might-makes-right warrior cultures, the Iteok Khereg believe themselves to be stronger than even the Xhodocto. This is more PLayedForLaughs as the Iteok are a minor civilisation by Gigaquadant standards who are constantly duped into being used as CannonFodder by actual supernaturals with promises of power.

The former goes for the more ecclesiastical - but still intimidating - "holy warriors of judgement" look (including dragon-headed helmets) while the latter goes for the more traditional "blackened spiky armour of doom" look.

* DivineRightOfKings: Various cases from being ordained by a religion to gods ruling empires
** The Draconizane Dominion holds that their GodEmperor Kordan Rex was hand-picked as Zr'An'Kar's herald. An invoked trope because Zr'An'Kar turned up several times in Kordan's life to further encourage him to ever greater heights of dominance.
** Depending on who you ask, the Paragon of the Draconid Imperium was either the chosen by Drakon, a mortal angel, or an incarnation of said god. Various cults of the Paragon take it further, asserting the figure to be a PhysicalGod in their own right.
** The various incarnations of the Church of Spode believe their heads of state are chosen by The Messengers, angels who serve the omnipotent Dei'Nar. On more than one occasion however, said head of state is in power because of TheCoup (such as Tadjamad or Jaharic). Simply ''believing'' their ascension is what the Messenges had intended.
** According to Zazane mythology, Zagdala Breek was the chosen champion of the deity Vaxal Myraad, being the first ever Descended Being. Deconstructed as both Zagdala and the Breek Bloodline inspire revulsion and dread among Zazane. Something plenty are glad to see the back of after the death of Tyraz Breek.
** Played dead straight with the Rambo Royal Family. A celebrated lineage whose right to rule is thought to come from the Atlantica.
** Warlord Hez'Kalka. An interlocutor between the Xhodocto and their mortal subjects, he is the closest thing to a chosen master of the Deathmarch even after Anzilanarus was inserted above him into the infernal hierarchy.

** The Kraw Empire tried to exile most of the foreign powers that had settled their galaxy. Many on their list however were centuries ahead of them and controlled vast swathes of territory such as the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth yet the Kraw attitude was "get out or face our wrath".
*** The Tyrekian Dominion did this with extra TooDumbToLive a few months later. They reasoned attacking the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus for territorial gain was suicide, yet the Draconid Imperium (who are by many measures as advanced and extensive as the Empire) was deemed a juicy target.

*NormalFishInATinyPond: When most factions regularly face off against galactic-level threats, the odd occasion where such characters turn to a smaller scale problem become this.
** ''Wrath Of The Imperium'' is a series of short stories where military assets of the Draconid Imperium face off against much smaller-scale empires. A single fighter drone becomes a BossFight and EliteMooks like Talon Marines become TheDreaded when facing a technologically inferior opponent.
** In a heist gone south for one Andorian smuggler, a single cruiser may as well have been a heavily armed battleship. In the wars of the Gigaquadrant however, such ships are often quickly fodder.
** A semi-canon story recounts a preindustrial Drodo physician records studying the corpse of a Draconis. While the species does not stand out; largely non-psychic and not nearly as physically large or strong as something like a Loron, To the 5ft tall physician however, "dragon" is an entirely appropriate label.

Added Outside Context Problem

Added DiffLines:

* OutsideContextProblem: Enough of these have happened that the concept has gotten somewhat predictable, but there are incidents where even societies thoroughly familiar with an invasion from the LegionsOfHell get caught with their pants down.
** The Gigaquadrant's first encounter with the Draconizane involved Tyraz's flagship being attacked by an armada with considerable firepower. Who boarded the ''Ghost of the Warrior'', kidnapped an Andromedan highlord with barely any hint as to why, leaving without a trace hint of just where they went or why Tyraz was so special to them.
** The Aetomarchis arriving on an ancient Alcanti. Not only was he the first case of a Zazane in the First Gigaquadrant hundreds of thousands of years before anyone would know what one was, he introduced a completely alien form of energy that lingers in the biology of an entire species to this day.
** The Mali'Nar practically thrive being outside context. Most think only of themselves so a general motive is impossible to find. The more powerful Malis are capable of transforming entire planets or redefining the laws of physics just because they feel like it.
** The basis of the Holy Shadow War is this. Thousands of planets across the Gigaquadrant are suddenly dealing with a ZombieApocalypse with no clear sign as to why or how this is happening. While solutions for how to stop it never got very far beyond beyond vapourising the crap out of everything.

* UngovernableGalaxy: Most galaxies in the setting will have a sizable chunk of their space either unexplored and a haven for pirates or occupied by a rival to the primary superpower. Played very straight with the Cyrannus Galaxy in the last few decades: The Galactic Empire of Cyrannus defied this for a time, but a successor to the Old Republic emerged and managed to secure a solid third of the galaxy including a chunk of the core in as little as four years.
** Exaggerated for a long time with the Borealis Galaxy: No matter what was done by the Zoles Imperium, most of the galaxy was overrun with marauders, doomsday cultists and pirates. That was until the Forces of Order offed Falrik Zaarkhun and General Volim, undisputed leaders of the criminal underworld.
** Justified with the Andromeda Galaxy. Although the Highlords represented the bulk of space in the Pan-Andromedan Ecumene, getting anything done often involved gaining majority support from the more numerous Council of Lords, who represented the hundreds of other nations under the banner. Large chunks of Andromeda are also inaccessible due to hostile occupation. Both the Dominion of the Xhodocto and the Vartekian Empire claim entire segmenta to themselves so at best the Ecumene has a tenuous hold beyond the inner rim.

** The most common type of Dogmatism so far is Fundamentalism: Cogsangui, Ernai, Minga, Devourer's Chosen, Mahanayans, and, of course, Radeons. Second most common type is Conquistadorism: DCP, Junction, Zazane, and most of the Grox empires aren't the only examples. Communism is present as well with, partially, Zazane and Radeons. Nazism so far is the rarest hat on SporeWiki, the only major example being Basileus.

* MasterRace: Dominatus, although only numbering a million, believe they are the master race, with super intelligence and super strength to boot. The Wranploer also used to see themselves as this. The Basileus are more blatant at it as while the Galactic Empire preaches that life in Cyrannus is superior to the life forms of the "Outer Gigaquadrant" (with one or two exceptions), with the Capricynae perhaps a step up, the Basileus consider themselves superior to ''other Capricynae''.
**Downplayed with the Draconis, [[CulturalPosturing smug bastards as they are]]. Although they will look down on those without a lineage from the Crown Worlds, "Draconis" is actually more of a mantle held by a mix of species that share values and the [[SlobsVersusSnobs top spot of the social pyramid]]. It's possible to become one but a rare thing to hear about.

Organised Empire and Hegemonic Empire lists


* TheEmpire: Including traditional examples like Galactic Empire of Cyrannus or United Lanat Empire, as well as GrimDark AntiHero examples, particularily the Delpha Coalition of Planets. Draconid Imperium has some overtones of TheEmpire as well.

to:

* TheEmpire: Including traditional Although most factions will be described as an empire at some point and hold empire-like tendencies, prominent examples like of TheEmpire include:
**The '''Delpha Coalition of Planets:''' An Orwellian state ruled by an immortal GodEmperor complete with widespread manipulation the truth, encouraged loyalty, an all-encompassing surveillance body and expectations of supreme obedience. They mellowed out since the Great Xonexian Schism when the immortal council was overthrown from within. A VillainWithGoodPublicity as despite its obviously oppressive society, it is held in very high regard for its war against the forces of the Xhodocto.
**The '''United Lanat Empire:''' Former masters of the Mirus galaxy before turning inward and facing assimilation into the
Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. At best a despotic regime that put its significant military to good use.
**The '''Galactic Empire of Cyrannus:''' Easily one of the setting's most characteristic examples. A military dictatorship ruled by an emperor that no one realises is an immortal godbeing with an enormousness military force, penchant for superweapons and a complete disregard for international relations that make it the most [[ObviouslyEvil easily recognisable]] power wanting to [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the universe]]. The Second Great
Cyrannus or United Lanat Empire, as well as GrimDark AntiHero examples, particularily War saw it engaged in a conflict against practically everyone in known space.
**The '''Zoles Imperium:''' A militaristic monarchy known for its millennia-long war against piracy in
the Delpha Coalition of Planets. Draconid Imperium Borealis Galaxy. It has some overtones long promoted itself as a bastion of TheEmpire order and peace in a galaxy frequently overrun with pirates, crime lords and [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]].
** The '''Divinarium:''' Known also
as well.the '''Holy Empire of the Divinarium''' is a ChurchMilitant state fond of launching crusades with ambitions of spreading the word of Spode. It is also an extremely collectivist society with an almost [[BigBrotherIsWatching omniscient surveillance bureau]] that knows everything about everyone.



* HegemonicEmpire: The Draconid Imperium is perhaps the most notable example of the single-user empires. Foreign empires that join become provinces and get to keep their laws and culture. Detractors of the Polar Crystal Alliance and the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth (such as the Brotherhood) consider the latter organisations to be this; led not by a single state, but the leaders of their supremely-powerful councils.
** The AGC's detractors' opinions came to fruition with the Pan-Andromedan Ecumene: An attempt at making Andromeda itself a benevolent [[OneWorldOrder One Galaxy Order]].

to:

* HegemonicEmpire: If a major power is not outright TheEmpire or TheFederation, it is very likely this.
**
The '''Draconid Imperium''' would have counted as TheEmpire due to CulturalPosturing, slavery in all but name, an immense military force and an apathetic aristocracy. It just happens to be really good at looking attractive: Holding a heroic reputation like the DCP, a reputation for skilled diplomacy and a mission to keep on very friendly terms with everyone while expanding though a policy of good deals, friendly posturing and being deeply embedded in universal trade.
**The '''French Empire''' acts similarly to the Imperium minus half of the vices. Beyond the core "Metropolitan" territories in the Milky Way it exists as more TheFederation but still has a sovereign for life with some ambitions of at least political hegemony over known space.
** The '''Pan-Andromedan Ecumene''' is this for Andromeda itself as well as outlying territories, being a union of Inner Andromeda's major civilisations and their related territories in order to create a more unified Andromedan civilsiation. Because of the disproportionate amount of influence the
Draconid Imperium is perhaps holds within the most notable example council of highlords, some consider it the single-user empires. Foreign empires that join become provinces and get to keep their laws and culture. Detractors hegemonic empire of the a hegemonic empire.
** '''The
Polar Crystal Alliance and the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth (such as the Brotherhood) consider the latter organisations to be this; led not by a single state, but the leaders of their supremely-powerful councils.
** The AGC's detractors' opinions came to fruition with
Alliance''' exists much like the Pan-Andromedan Ecumene: An attempt at making Andromeda itself Ecumene, acting as both a benevolent unifying entity and government body over the Borealis Galaxy. Like the Ecumene, it is considered TheEmpire by detractors who accuse the Polar Council races of having a disproportionate amount of power.

** Tyrómairon was retconned from a rebelling, jealous evil-doer to a scheming, complex mastermind. Indeed, his original name "Antediluvian" was changed to "Tyrómairon". In fact, most of Cyrannian's fiction had at least one major retcon in its history.

* ShiningCity: Minos'Drakon, Orbispira and several cities on the Rambo Capital (suich as Tirithsillania) are the most prolific named examples. Orbispira however is more of a "[[CityPlanet Shining Planet]]" given it is urbanised from pole-to-pole and from [[LayeredMetropolis crust-to-core]]. Hyperborea could also count on similar lines to Orbispira, given that it is an artificial construct built around [[spoiler: the Kormacvar homeworld.]]
