A little more info on Atlas: Try to negotiate with them first. If we are aggressive, they will attack the Empire and Sovereignty for sure They use warminds, essentially self-aware supercomputers that are more advanced than any AI in the Universe. Can process more information in a nanosecond than all of the Empire's supercomputers can process in a week, combined Their war droids are created out of a cortosis/ceramite/ebonkar alloy that is nearly indestructible. They are controlled by the warminds, which are likely far outside this Galaxy. Once they have presence in this Galaxy, they can use weapons of mass destruction through slipspace portals to destroy this Galaxy. Do not let them do so They are practically unstoppable on the ground, and have multiple fail safes if something goes wrong, but their space fleet isn't that much more advanced than ours. Finally, they have many powerful allies... And enemies, that they have known for millions of years.
