==Early history==
It is not clear when the Empire began. [[Commander]] [[Jonathan Archer (mirror)|Jonathan Archer]] once stated that the Empire had existed for "centuries" as of [[2155]]. Archer did not mention how many centuries, but 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]].
==22nd century==
Due to the rapid initial 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 begining to rebel against Terran rule, leading to a long-running conflict in which the Empire came to the brink of collapse. [[Propaganda]], however, conveyed the message that things were going in the Empire's favor and that the war would be over soon.
By [[2155]], ==22nd Century==Due to the Terran Empire had already conquered rapid expansion made possible by the [[captured Vulcan]]stechnology, [[Denobulan]]The Empire's, [[Andorian]]s, [[Orion]]s,[[Betazoid]]s and [[Tellarite]]s and had launched attacks against hold on its territories was initially weak. In the [[Klingon]]s and [[Xindi2150s]]. However, some of the flagship of worlds conquered by the EmpireTerrans were beginning to rebel against Terran rule, leading to a long-running conflict in which the [[ISS Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']], under Empire came to the command brink of Captain [[Maximilian Forrest]], had a much more racially-diverse crew than its regular universe counterpart, with numerous Vulcans and Tellarites serving as crewmemberscollapse.
In that year, the {{USS|Defiant|NCC-1764}}, a [[Federation]] ship launched in the [[23rd century]] of a [[parallel universe]], was reported in [[Tholian]] space. The [[first officer]] of the ISS ''Enterprise'', Commander [[Jonathan Archer (mirror)|Archer]], reviewed the reception of this distress call and proposed a bold surgical strike at the asteroid base at which the Tholians were keeping the ''Defiant''. Archer's proposal was quickly rejected by Forrest, causing Archer to mutiny against his Captain and take control of ''Enterprise'' to retrieve the ''Defiant'' so its technology could be utilized against the rebellion. ''Enterprise'' arrived and dispatched a [[boarding party]] to gain all information they could about the ship, and destroy it to prevent the Tholians from being able to use it. Unfortunately, during the retrieval operation, the Tholians attacked ''Enterprise'' and destroyed it, stranding the boarding party aboard the ''Defiant''.
Following the destruction of the ISS ''Enterprise'' and the death of Captain Forrest, Commander Archer and his away team commandeered the USS ''Defiant''. They proceeded to destroy the Tholian hangar in which the ship was being held and rescued a number of former ''Enterprise'' crewmembers, including By [[Hoshi Sato (mirror)|Hoshi Sato2155]], after apparent consideration of leaving their comrades stranded. Archer made a rendezvous with the {{ISS|Avenger}}, Terran Empire had already conquered the flagship of [[AdmiralVulcan]] s, [[BlackDenobulan]]. Archer vaporized the admiral and took command of both vessels. Commander s, [[T'Pol (mirror)|T'PolAndorian]] and Crewman s, [[Soval (mirror)|SovalOrion]] led a mutiny of the non-Human crewmembers on board the ''Avenger'' and attacked the ''Defiant'' in hopes of destroying it. They were destroyed after Commander s, [[Charles Tucker III (mirror)|Charles TuckerBetazoid]] reinitialized the power systems that s and [[Phlox (mirror)|PhloxTellarite]] s, and had attempted to disable. Commander Archer, acting as launched attacks against the [[CaptainKlingon]], then set a direct course for Earth, where he intended to declare himself s and [[EmperorXindi]] of the Terran Empire. However, Hoshi Sato [[poison]]ed him with the assistance of his [[Security officer|bodyguard]] [[Travis Mayweather (mirror)|Travis Mayweather]]. The two then took control flagship of the Empire, the "''DefiantISS Enterprise''", had a much more racially-diverse crew than its regular universe counterpart, with numerous Vulcans and upon arriving at Earth, Sato declared herself [[Emperor|Empress]]Tellarites serving as crewmembers.
Somewhere between [[2155]] and [[2267]], the symbol of the Empire appears to have been altered. The earlier symbol closely resembles that of the [[United Earth]] government, depicting all of Earth's continents, though replacing a laurel of peace with an aggressive sword. However, by the mid-[[23rd century]], the symbol, while remaining essentially the same, depicted only the continents of Earth's western hemisphere, suggesting the seeds of the Empire were sown in that hemisphere.
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,'' the {{ISS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}. Before Kirk left, believing that the mirror {{mu|Spock}} would one day become captain of the ISS ''Enterprise'', he planted a seed of doubt about the inevitability of the Empire, asking Spock if violence was the only logical answer. Spock promised to consider Kirk's words, after realizing the Empire would only last about 240 years before being overthrown.

The Empire ruled by terror, with its [[Starfleet (mirror)|"Imperial Starfleet]] " acting as its iron fist.

At some point, an astronaut planted the flag of the Terran Empire on Earth's [[moon]], [[Luna]]. ==First contactContact==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 (mirror)|Zefram Cochrane]]'s warp signature, a Vulcan scout ship landed in [[Bozeman]], [[Montana]] order to make first contact with humanity. Instead of welcoming the Vulcans in a spirit of friendship and understanding, however, the mirror Zefram Cochrane killed the first Vulcan to set foot on Terran soil, as and the Humans boarded and ransacked the Vulcan ship. (This ''may'' have been wise, as according to remarks made by the Mirror Archer, the Vulcans were landing not in friendship but as a prelude to invasion, though this may also have been merely Imperial revisionist history)
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.

As Kirk predicted, the mirror-Spock later became the captain of the ISS ''ISS Enterprise'' and eventually rose to become Commander-in-Chief of the Empire. He began instituting major [[reform]]s 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]]Alliance, which managed to conquer the entire Terran Empire, turning the Terrans themselves into a slave race. The [[Bajoran|Bajorans]], a people conquered by the Empire, came to be a powerful voice in this Alliance.
