Greater Britain

Greater Britain is the first empire you will play as during the single player portion of Conflicks. During this portion of the game you will control the hero Wilbur Pitbottom.

Greater Britain is also a playable faction in the Multiplayer mode.

History
Preserving his youth with the Wine of Youth, along with his 31 marriages, the vain Henry the Eight has reigned over Greater Britain for 279 years. His galactic empire owes its prosperity to the boldness of his merchant privateers as well as the control that the Greater Britain Galactic Bank (GBGB) has over the metamatter trade. In addition, Greater Britain has developed unsurpassed expertise in the processing of metamatter into metals such as britannium, an ultra-strong alloy that gives the vessels of his space fleet superior armour.

Ships
Greater Britain has developed an unrivaled expertise in the “insubstantiation” of metamatter, a complex process that turns metamatter into wondrous metals and other substances. This particular expertise allows this empire to create ship hulls out of britannium, which is more resistant than that of any other imperial house.

The ships of Greater Britain are massive and intimidating, ornamented with elaborate gothic figures giving off the impression of flying cathedrals. Their names are taken after the many ex-wives of Emperor Henry VIII.
