Wiki: Kemtewet History
The Kemtewet Empire was established shortly after Neith consolidated her power on Keidem and abolished the augmentation development program. When it became apparent that Kemtewet population growth would outpace human population growth, Empress Neith established colony worlds to both grow the human population in a dedicated environment and outsource cultivation of other resources. Three more expansion periods followed, resulting in the current 8110-planet empire.
