"So... well... I died as it seems? Then I woke up as a character from an online science fiction game... And the craziest thing was that I was in my personal spaceship... Aside from that, I have this weird gaming system bugging me with missions and stuff... So... finally, something interesting happened in my life at last. At least now, I am unbound by anything and can do as I wish." - Acturus Al-Yesod Crawford "In the grim darkness of the endless space, there is only one sole constant that has ruled the space since immemorial, that dictated the life and death, the order and chaos of every single living being.

Even though the Eternal Empire of Asurya was a High-Level Civilization and a fairly powerful one, they were still pretty inferior to most of the High-Level Civilizations, mainly due to their small size.
Most of the High-Level Civilizations and High-Level Star Nations controlled at least a few Galaasxies and Dwarf Galaxies and some other types of celestial bodies, so their territories were huge and vast.
Their population was many times bigger than that of the Eternal Empire of the Asruya. Thus, the Empire was somewhat inferior compared to the different factions. The room for development was crucial, but at the same time, the Phoenix Empire was a relatively young nation that had barely been old for a few centuries.
