The Age of Ten Thousand Emperors or the Great Dark Ages (11100 BG - 7562 BG) was an obscure period of ancient human history. Historians consider the beginning of that period as 11100 BG, five years after the destruction of Ceres and the Age of Pretenders. Perhaps the Age of the Emperors was called like that because humanity was not united, but each planet had its own Emperor. By its name we can suppose that humanity was spread to almost 10000 planets, although the number must be a figure of speech.
