History
The Kree Imperium was a new empire founded by Kree explorers who had been away from Hala for several generations. When members of the Kree Army and explorers went to return home, they saw that their beloved planet of Hala had been totally destroyed by the deposed king Mister Knife. Seeing in what state their once glorious race was now left at, these Kree became disillusioned by the Plex Intelligence and his followers, such as Ronan, and sought to rebuild the great Kree society.[5]
They sought to use the remaining Inhumans to turn them into the Super-Inhumans to use them against the Kree Empire, whom they called them the old Kree, in their Kree Civil War, else those who refused to join would be exterminated. The Kree Imperium used the brainwashed Super-Inhumans to form the Vox which acted as their enforcers, and sent them to destroy the city of New Arctilan and capture or kill as many Inhumans as possible.[8][1] However, the Inhuman Royal Family was unwilling to let their people to be used or murdered and fought back despite being outnumbered. This all culminated in Black Bolt using his voice to destroy the Imperium's stronghold where the Inhumans were held, delivering a devastating blow to the Kree at the cost of the lives of countless Inhumans.[9]
One single Vox still operated under the Kree Imperium for a time, until he went behind his masters' back and sought out what remained of the original Supreme Intelligence and merged with them to become the gestalt being Vox Supreme.[10] He attempted to blackmail Captain Marvel into giving him the genetic materials of the Avengers by threatening the lives of the Kree refugees on Earth, but she managed to outsmart and defeat him.[11]
The Imperium persisted despite this drawback and continued their war against the Kree Empire, the latter having regressed to the Utopian Kree. During this time, the Imperium's Kree wished to right the wrongs of their predecessors, and with the guidance of Tanalth the Pursuer they improved their relationship with the Skrulls. Eventually, the Kree Civil War came to end after a ceasefire was established by the new leader of the Imperium, the Kree/Skrull Hybrid Dorrek VIII,[6] after it was merged with the Skrull Empire to form the Alliance in response to the rising threat of the Cotati.[2][12]See Also
