YMMV / Empress

Go To

  • Ass Pull: The revelation that Emporia is and always has been more powerful than Morax, who she kills like it's nothing.
  • Awesome Moments: After his technokinesis being useless for the whole story, Tor finally finds himself up against a ship that's primitive enough for him to control... and we promptly find out why the One Day War didn't last any longer.
  • Complete Monster: King Morax is the psychopathic ruler of much of the galaxy. Prone to killing his subjects for the most petty offenses, Morax's cruelty drives his wife, Emporia, to flee from him, taking her children with her. Incensed at his wife's "disobedience", Morax commands a manhunt to hunt her down at any cost. He kills his commanders for failing to apprehend Emporia and their children and orders an entire city torched as a warning to those who might harbor them. Personally leading the manhunt, Morax slaughters anyone who had previously encountered the runaways as punishment for letting them get away. When he finally tracks down Emporia, he orders both her and their children sentenced to death in the arena, with his reasoning being that he cannot tolerate his children's presence due to them being a constant reminder of his wife's insubordination.
