The mirror universe counterpart of the United Federation of Planets, the Terran Empire was the repressive interstellar government dominated by the Terrans from Earth.
The Empire ruled by terror, with its "Imperial Starfleet" acting as its iron fist.
Contents
Early History
It is not clear when the Empire began. Commander Jonathan Archer once stated that the Empire had existed for "centuries" as of 2155. By his statement, the Empire can be traced back to at least 1955, suggesting that it was a Terran (Earth) political party or movement before it became an interstellar empire. At some point, an astronaut planted the flag of the Terran Empire on Earth's moon, Luna.
First Contact
Humanity's first contact with an alien species in the mirror universe began exactly as it did in the traditional universe. Upon detecting Zefram Cochrane's warp signature, a Vulcan scout ship landed in order to make first contact with humanity. Instead of welcoming the Vulcans in a spirit of friendship and understanding, the mirror Zefram Cochrane killed the first Vulcan to set foot on Terran soil, and the Humans boarded and ransacked the Vulcan ship.
Instead of the Vulcans gradually releasing technology to Earth over time, the Terran Empire applied the stolen Vulcan technology to a policy of aggressive expansion. Because of this, the Empire was able to engage in technological research and development considerably earlier than its traditional counterpart. Thus, the Starfleet of the mirror universe was somewhat more advanced than its counterpart.
22nd Century
Due to the rapid expansion made possible by the captured Vulcan technology, The Empire's hold on its territories was initially weak. In the 2150s, some of the worlds conquered by the Terrans were beginning to rebel against Terran rule, leading to a long-running conflict in which the Empire came to the brink of collapse.
By 2155, the Terran Empire had already conquered the Vulcans, Denobulans, Andorians, Orions, Betazoids and Tellarites, and had launched attacks against the Klingons and Xindi. However, the flagship of the Empire, the "ISS Enterprise", had a much more racially-diverse crew than its regular universe counterpart, with numerous Vulcans and Tellarites serving as crewmembers.
23rd and 24th Centuries
In 2267, crewmembers of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701 , including Captain James T. Kirk, were accidentally transported to the mirror universe aboard the mirror-version of the Enterprise. Before Kirk left, believing that the mirror Spock would one day become captain of the ISS Enterprise, he planted a seed of doubt about the inevitability of the Empire.
As Kirk predicted, the mirror-Spock later became the captain of the ISS Enterprise and eventually rose to become Commander-in-Chief of the Empire. He began instituting major reforms that were very popular, turning the Empire into a more peaceful and less aggressive power. Unfortunately, Spock's reforms left the Empire unprepared to defend itself against the emerging threat of a united Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, which managed to conquer the entire Terran Empire, turning the Terrans themselves into a slave race. The Bajorans, a people conquered by the Empire, came to be a powerful voice in this Alliance.
