Weltreich was and is one of the top empires of Universe 5. Founded in 2011, it played a minor role in universes 3 and 4, before starting a dramatic expansion in population, resources, and capabilities with its return on December 12, 2016. By September 17th, 2017, Weltreich had reached the top position on the leaderboard, maintaining this until #########.

Intergalactic Era
On November 18th, 2017, the leader of Weltreich got bored and decided to colonize all 17 pvp galaxies. By the end of the day, when this task was completed, it was then realized that somehow the leaderboards were displaying that 18 galaxies had been colonized in total. This made Weltreich the first empire to have colonized every galaxy and the only to colonize more galaxies than actually existed in the pvp universe. Separation of the empire into several stand-alone manufacturing regions occurred during this time, to ensure that a complete loss of industrial capabilities due to warfare was only a remote possibility.
Quest for Perfection
With the change from tech levels to a quality based system, Weltreich set out to colonize and develop a Q255 source of every natural resource to channel into a single Q255-capable shipyard and manufacturing system.
Another Overly Dramatic Headline
The power vacuum left behind when the Syndicate empire went inactive wasn't taken by any empire right away, but the Weltreich empire did eventually amass the largest military power in the 5th universe.
Early on after the Syndicate empire went inactive, the Weltreich empire started to capture abandoned cities from empires that had gone inactive. This even included old Syndicate cities. The original reasoning was to prevent abandoned cities from decaying, which was considered a nice service by some. The Weltreich empire was generous enough to return ownership of cities if the empire were to become active again or if a mistake had occurred.
These actions quickly earned the Weltreich empire the top rank as the biggest empire in the universe. Quickly surpassing any records previously held by the Syndicate empire or any other.
After the introduction of the Building Update however, new cities did not decay anymore. The Weltreich empire did not stop their mission to "preserve" the inactive cities though, they instead continued their capturing of inactive empire cities. At this point it was clear that the Weltreich empire was mainly capturing cities in order to increase their empire ranking. This went even further as a declaration of war against the expected new players a Steam release of Shores of Hazeron would cause.[1]
A few minor diplomatic incidents with the Foxtail empire[2] prompted the Weltreich empire to attack and destroy all of the otherwise peaceful Foxtail empire. A new peace treaty was attempted but for unknown reason the Weltreich empire continued to attack the Foxtail empire every so often until the Foxtail empire finally cracked and declared defeat.[3]
In the end, the Weltreich empire was unstoppable. Having hidden bases in the void far outside of the galactic plane and a solid star gate network, meant that no hostile action would ever be able to harm the Weltreich empire.
