It's member races, the survivors anyway, still exist, and undoubtably are still willing to take on the Terran race in order to once again ensure their primacy in the Milky Way Galaxy.The G'Tak Empire is mostly unknown, although deep penetration probes have revealed the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most of the races look to have actually stagnated or regressed in technology.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Many star systems still have wreckage of the Proto-Human/G'Tak War still wandering about. One particular system has an artificial asteriod belt some 11 light minutes from the primary star made up entirely of wreckage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Kraveel look to have taken up the G'Tak's position in the government.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There are no remaining G'Tak.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most shipyards are still producing ship designs from the Human/G'Tak War.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Terran Human technology actually exceeds the G'Tak Empire's technology level, particularly in the weapons/starship/cybernetics/genengineering fields.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Many systems formerly occupied are now barren.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">G'Tak Empire races appear to only be able to handle .6-.8 G worlds, with a temperate climate, less than 5 degree axial tilt, and 80% solar radiation shielding. This limits thier worlds by over 95%.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In the last 50 engagements, including the Shivak Incident, the G'Tak Empire has fielded military equipment that Terran Systems pirates would be too embarassed to hijack.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Interrogation of prisoners shows that the G'Tak Empire has been claiming to still be fighting the Proto-Humans.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scanned starship databases show that the G'Tak released some kind of autonomous AI starship system, a multi-tiered operation of manufacturing and operation that seems to be charged with eliminating anything that is not of Empire design. This may explain the use of old style ships.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Further spinward, something is happening. According to captured ship databases, no G'Tak Empire ship is to enter the Galactic Core. Reasons are unknown.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The G'Tak Empire is made up of 20 surviving races. 15 of those are slave races.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">According to G'Tak Empire databases, Proto-Human's are 40 feet tall, breathe nuclear radiation, and can rend apart starships bare handed and other rediculous claims. MILINT recommends that Plantary Assault Cyborgs be reconfigured to match this.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The G'Tak Empire spans over 50,000 habitated systems, with a population of 8.5x10 (21), 30% of whom are military.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deep Coreward penetrations have shown that every system is nothing but an automated fortress. Past this line the probes do not return.</li> </ul>Enjoy!</blockquote>
