After the downfall of the Alliance by a mystrious and uncureable plague, thousands of factions were left with technology never to be used by small governements. While some have been doing their best to research a cure and rebuild the IAP, other factions simply closed their borders, putting a quarantine on the outside. The Vilushans were one of these factions.
No longer a young, democratic insitute, the Vilushan Sovereign Empire evolved into a powerful, aggressive nation, hellbent on keeping themselves safe from the Plague, cleansing their surroundings, and claiming it for their own Sovereignty.

Ravadan Caen, a despot deluded by hundreds of advisors and power hungry politicians.
Erasmus Veldekan, Grand Admiral of the Vilushan Imperial Navy.
Some have speculated that Veldekan was the worst choice that the emperor could make; in his starting years he was as arrogant as incompetent, and when he finally started to gain experience and even several diplomatic victories, he slipped into a depression after the death of a his brother. Veldekan is an extremely lax commander, and his state of mind has caused him to make the wrong decisions.
General Armana Trieste, commander of the Vilushan Sovereign Empire's extensive ground forces. Part Vilushan, part Denebrian, her very appearance has made many a nationalistic element in the Vilushan Senate scurry to the nearest arms shop, then quickly fall silent when noticing her next brilliant victory. Master at devising stratagems and, more importantly, making the right decisions, Trieste's intellect is a shining beacon for Vilushan soldiers and Naval personnel alike.

The Vilushan Sovereign Imperial Navy
Little is yet known about Caen's new armada, but civilian sensor readings have picked up an image of a large, arrowhead shaped vessel, probably en route to Sequana. This planet is a major Vilushan construction site.
Confidential messages from Ruustirii Intel confirm that this vessel is called the "Vox Vocis", and will serve as the Vilushan's main battlefleet.
Addition: Confused reports from Aralonian fleet command have confirmed that a fully armed Vox Vocis type vessel has destroyed an Aralonian Bismarck A type without taking any noteable damage. Ruustirii High Command reports entering the highest state of emergency.
Addition: Ruustirii Intellingence service has managed to take a picture of a blueprint of the Vox Vocis, now officially designated the Vox Vocis class Heavy Dreadnought. Unfortunately, the Ruustirii agent was discovered and executed before she could send further documentation, but this picture got through Vilushan security screens.
Addition: IVL Newsfeeds have confirmed the destruction of at least one Athena class carrier by a Vox Vocis class vessel. Following battle with it's Zeus escort resulted in a full retreat by Vilushan forces. IVL response to this intrusion reamins unclear.
Addition: IVL Newsfeeds have transmitted a report about the destruction of a Zeus class Dreadnought by a refitted Vox Vocis. How the Vilushan Empire was able to install a more powerful main weapon so quickly reamins unclear, and IVL Empress Elizabeth I has yet to react on these assaults.
(Lizzie, could you, ehm...)
