The Empire of Skabor was the name of the Skabor state created in the wake of the end First Dark Era (~0-150 AD) of Skabor history and the following reconstruction, circa 100 AD, restructured in the form of a militaristic empire by Fedeyun the Great  after he and his followers wrested control of Skabor and the Silver Citadel, the seat of Skabor monarchy and central base of government prior to the Dark Era, from Izdihan control and restored order to the former Kingdom.

Under Emperor Fedeyun, Skabor experienced massive technological and scientific, economic, and social and cultural growth, until its encounter with the Coalition of Planets and the United Nations of Earth, and resulting downfall 2250 years later, in 2350 AD by Earth reckoning. One of the conditions imposed by the Coalition was the forfeiture of the Imperial title; for the only divine emperor in the galaxy reigned from Tarsis, not Skabor. The result of the war and collapse of the Skabor monarchy was one of catalysts for the Second Dark Era, along with the invasion of Dark Augusto. It would be many decades before a reestablished Skabor Kingdom would appear.

The age of the Empire of Skabor was the basis and foundation for much of modern Skabor history, culture, and science, including 80% of its territorial expansion, first contact with Earth, Tarsis, and Dark Augusto, the decline of Skabor religion and the old Skaborian dialects and its subsequent replacement, the mastery of faster-than-light travel and plasma technology, and the roots to Skabor social customs. Much of Skabor's science, language, culture, religion, and civilization was destroyed during the Dark Era, and the EOS marked the consolidation of what was left of it, and subsequent rebuilding and advancement under Fedeyun's cryogenic hibernation-assisted two-millennia reign.

''"How can you have the arrogance to speak of my heresy, when it is you who is the heretic? You sit high and mighty on your throne, foolishly reveling in your ideals of holiness, your blasphemy about divinity and the hand of a so-called-God, and your-righteous sense of greatness and majestic virtue, while you send mere servants, lowly vassals to your false throne, to massacre our species and lay waste to our planets. I have spent thousands of solar cycles maintaining my empire! You are emperor of nothing!"

-Fedeyun the Great''
