What is The Roach Empire?[]

The Roach Empire is the proud space-faring society consisting of Cockroaches who are the successors of The former Roach Nation after a pro-imperial coup overthrew it. They have the capabilities of planet-wide destruction using their battle station named Death Roach.

The "Hammer of Justice" is the flagship spacecraft of Grand Admiral Roach (Portrayed by Capo) who leads their space fleet.

The flag of the Empire depicts a bug-spray can with a ban-sign over it.

The Roach Nation and Roach Empire related roleplay are largely improvised RP-arcs created by Capo and friends as a part of Legends of Roflgator. This article serves to both describe the event and the group.

History[]

The Roach Empire is a successor state to the Roach Nation, following a pro-imperial coup. After their split and reformation from the former Roach Nation the old base of operations in The Golden Gator was vacated and all roaches evacuated from earth.

They would again return from space as they sent back emissaries on April 22nd, 2019 to negotiate counter-settlements. They invited Roflgator and Foreigner along on a guided tour of their space battle station named Death Roach to tell their history and show a display of power of their capabilities.

After a horrific demonstration of destroying a whole planet - contrary to their former peaceful earthbound counterparts - they even threatened with the destruction of the whole Earth if the proprietor refused to cooperate with them.

Roach Empire Robot Emissary

In order to respect the proprietor of the bar Roflgators wishes not to have roaches running around causing trouble all the time on April 26th they decided to send a robot emissary in their stead. Their robot emissary ended up helping Roflgator escape a trial where he was accused of selling R3dzDead into slavery. It interrupted the long-winded trial and fired wildly - seemingly shooting R3dzDead, dead - while Roflgator and his defense attorney Gapp escaped.

On April 28th 2019 it was revealed that The Roach Empire shares some history with another space-faring group called "The Committee" that is related to a "G-Man" named Mr. Bean, who is an investor in Roflgators bar. It was also revealed that their space-ship is stuck in orbit around Earth and need to recharge their hyperdrive before being able to leave the solar system. It is possible that there are further reasons for them being stuck, their recent orbital bombardment hints at there being further conflict.

On May 5th it was revealed that some parts of the former nation survived the coup and with the the vein of "avenging Nixon" they rebuilt their former president as an A.I. in a final effort for the former Nation to regain some stability. The Space Roach Empire scheduled the project for demolition after the new regime realized that Nixon would rally the military against them but someone was able to turn on the machine again.

A manifesto detailing the history of the Roaches was leaked in Feb 2020.
