Empire Rising details the early conflicts of the Circasian Empire, including their war against the Chouka that led to the rise of their empire to power in known space. This unofficial supplement for the Babylon 5 Wars game system includes information for several new races and raider factions and over 160 new ships! Included in this supplement are:

• The Circasians: An upstart race, the Circasians have struggled to take their place in the galactic community. Utilizing less advanced technologies, the Circasian miltary has been tempered by several trials by fire.
• The Chouka: A race of methane-breathing religious zealots, the Chouka wanted little to do with the outside world before their war with the Circasians. The Chouka's large warships double as executive couriers and transports for the ruling religious elite.
• The Sshel'ath: An unusual race of fibric aliens who have the ability to partially rearrange their body structures. The Sshel'ath operate an extensive suite of laser weapons and missiles, as well as maintaining one of the largest orbital satellite networks in known space.
• The Raiders: The Chouka Raiders, Unsheathed Claw, and Blood Swords were the most powerful raider adversaries the Circasians had during their raider wars. Relive the frontier battles between the Circasian patrol fleets and the opportunistic raider forces!
• The Civilians: Civilian units are included for several neighboring powers, including the ak-Tai, Solassi, Ghotekhen, Thaline, and Novon.
