*a cosmic earthquick shakes the dimensions of time and space as the last citizens of the star cluster of the Darck Knight empire finally ascend to another plane of existence known only has "real life".............. leaving the shell of their former selves behind, their bodies clicking endlessly (as only Zombies could) on a virtual button on computer screens with only the words "research" inscribed on it............thus was the state of the empire when OMinQ investigated the empire after all signals stopped emanating from the area...........one starship captain mused that they would be ideal for the job of the galaxy`s first zombie run bot net and generating random TPS reports for legal firms at home..........such was how the OMinQ empire came into possession of an area of space formerly dominated by such an ancient Guardian empire*
