The Knightmare Empire is a large empire that has tooken over 65% of the Milky Way, including 29% of the Orion Arm and a sixth of the central core. It's rival, the Knightmare Galactic Confederate, which has the other 35% of the Milky Way, yet has the remaining parts of the Orion Arm and the rest of the central core and is more peaceful, has been fighting over control of the galaxy for at least 135,000 years. The two empires have great technology and are the seventh and fourth strongest (Knightmare - Fourth strongest) empires in the galaxy.
History
1.7 billion years ago
During the period of the dinosaurs, the planet Xinede VII was struck by an asteroid that was later found to be roughly the same size as the Keniadodoke crater on the planet Hexalede [73.6 km]. The asteroidites [Xinede's form of saying "meteorites"] were roughly 14.5 km each, with the largest being 17 km and the smallest being the diameter of the state of Michigan on Earth. A study was found to show that a ninteenth asteroidite was found, with a diameter of 71,992 miles [the size of New England].
For a total of 2 billion years, Xinede VII was moved to the edge of Xinede's asteroid belt, and was struck by at least 34,614 asteroids, with the largest asteroid hitting the planet at a speed of 56 km/h and the size of the continental US, and the smallest hitting the planet at a speed of 39 km/h and the size of Panama. Meteorites struck the back of Xinede VII until it as completely flaming hot. The planet's back could have reached highs of 1,282 degrees Fahrenheit [694 degrees Celsius.] The peaks of it hit temperatures up to 27,322 for an unknown reason, which was explained as "Einstein heating" [named after Albert Einstein], in which on Xinede VII, if asteroid craters were near each other, heat could be transferred and end up heating the craters extremely hot. The temperatures, 27,322 degrees Fahrenheit [or 15,161.111 degrees Celsius], was caused by the Einstein heating theory.
For 6 million years it was finally cooling down, temperatures cooling down by 625 degrees per hour [15,000 degrees cooling down a day], until the year 1382 BC on Earth, when it was cooled down. At the time, water was found, according to Xinedese as "ocianeio".
