====Third Empire====

The 3rd empire rose from the ashes of the 2nd. How they survived against their former creations is anyone's guess, but they did and they managed to carve themselves an empire, that was almost as mighty as the ones that preceded them. Their whole gist is the abolishment of almost all advanced AI and nanite technologies of the 2nd empire, while they almost completely embrace the weapon technologies of the past. They are the most long lasting bord empire, and they have managed to maintain their stability and unity trough strong militarism, fascism and very potent method of control over their citizens. The 3rd empire plays into the natural behavior of the bords, who are quite lazy and self obsessed creatures. The 3rd empire provides easy living, entertainment, and pleasures for it's citizens, giving them no reason to rise against the authority. Of course, this easy life is just a cleverly disguised prison, and those few who do not fall for it are picked out by the system, and placed in fields where their abnormal behavior is of use.

In short, the 1st and 2nd empire both failed due to certain faults in their social design.
1st, for the lack of unified culture, 2nd for their complete dependency on their technology, and uncontrolled technological advancement.
3rd empire has eliminated those faults. There are basically no cultural differences between bord colonies of the 3rd empire. And while the life of a normal bord is very tied to the automated technologies, there are no true AIs behind these techs. As for technological development, the 3rd empire has a tight leash on it, in order to prevent the re-creation of the self replicating machines that ravaged the 2nd empire. Presumably, these machines still exist, and they are the main enemies of the 3rd empire.
