Twilight Imperium

The Twilight Imperium setting presents an unstable power vaccum left after the centuries-long decline and collapse of the previously dominant Lazax race. The old galactic central capital, Mecatol Rex, located in the center of the map is maintained by custodians who maintain the imperial libraries and oversee the meetings of the galactic council. Players assume the roles of rising empires on the fringes of the galaxy, vying for military and political control, until one finally becomes sufficiently dominant to take over as a new galactic emperor.

The setting is used in several roleplaying game products and also featured in multiple boardgames. Additionally, fan-created roleplaying products and fan-created boardgames have used the setting.
