Irken Empire

The Irken Empire is an aggressive expansionist force headed by the war-like Irken race. The Irkens are bent on galactic conquest and, with the aid of their massive armada, they may actually achieve this goal. The co-ruling emperors of the Irken Empire are the Almighty Tallest, Red, and Purple.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, they were aggressive to both the Grand Alliance and the Coalition of the Red Star, but with the Treaty of Sapporo, the Irken Empire is eventually allied with the Coalition of the Red Star in their quest of total world domination under Operation Impending Doom III.
