Empire of Darkness

The Empire of Darkness, declared as the First Universal Empire, commonly referred to as simply the Dark Empire, and remembered as the Old Empire, was a fascist dictatorship and one of the most technologically advanced empires that once controlled most of the multiverse, and often fought against the Kids Club in a series of destructive wars and battles, including the Kids' Club War, the Hero and Villain Wars, and other conflicts, but it was ultimately defeated. The Dark Empire was believed to have been destroyed by Allied forces during the Battle for Earth. It is said that the Dark Empire also decisively defeated the Empire of Light, who fought alongside the Kids Club, with Dark Emperor Torvivum Zuskelgar killing the Light Emperor Romulus Augustus, in cold blood.

However, Zuskelgar survived the battle and he, along with what remained of the Dark Empire, were forced to flee to the Unknown Regions (which went unnoticed by the victorious Allies).

Thousands of years later, Victor Nevarez; the Dark Lord of the Sith and Supreme Leader of the Coalition of the Red Star, would go on a mission to find the hidden Dark Emperor and the exiled remnants of the once-rich-and-powerful Empire after discovering their location on Exegol. The Sect of Eternal Darkness; a secret cult that sought to resurrect the Empire of Darkness, was founded shortly afterwards.
