Kree Empire (Earth-7642)

The Kree Empire is a major galactic government founded and ruled by the Kree, a scientifically and technologically advanced species from the planet Hala. Possessing very few rival entities, the Kree Empire is one of the most powerful states in the galaxy. Despite this, they were likely devastated when the Yuuzhan vong invaded the universe.

The Xorrians
Over six million years ago, the Xorrians allegedly spawned the Kree (along with all humanoid life-forms, such as Skrulls and Humans) from their own DNA.[1]

The Celestials and the Progenitors
Two distinct groups of giant godlike aliens experimented on the early Kree:
 * The Progenitors experimented on prehistoric Kree, engineering them by using the Primagen (or Prima Materia) Their attempt at turning them into new beings, resulted in the very first race of Inhumans.[4]
 * The Celestials experimented on ancient Kree, creating the Kree Eternals and the Kree Deviants.

The Skrulls
A million years ago, a race of humanoid reptiles called the Skrulls came upon prehistoric Hala. At that time the Skrulls were a largely peaceful space-faring race, and they set about educating the natives to the point where they could join their trading empire. However, Hala was home to two equally intelligent races, the Kree and the Cotati.

The Skrulls proposed a test to determine the worthier race between the Kree and the Cotati. Taking members of both races to a distant planetoid in another galaxy, the Blue Area of the Earth's Moon, the Skrulls created an arena and bid the two races to use the resources they had to create something of worth. The Skrulls then left. The Kree constructed a magnificent city known as the Blue City, while the Cotati created a beautiful garden.

A year later the Skrulls returned to judge the two races and found the Cotati's accomplishment the worthier. Enraged, the Kree killed the Skrulls and the Cotati and seized the Skrulls' star-ship. They used the ship to return to their native planet, then set about deciphering the technology of the star-ship.

Within a hundred years of acquiring interstellar technology from the Skrulls, the Kree empire began to spread throughout the Greater Magellanic Cloud.

Kree-Skrull War
The Kree launched an attack upon the Skrull Empire and the peaceful Skrulls were again forced to become warlike to defend themselves. The Kree-Skrull War would continue for hundreds of thousands of years.[6]

At the same time the Cotati on Hala were almost driven to extinction by the Kree. However, a small handful of Kree, the pacifist Priests of Pama, hid and kept safe a group of Cotati. Eventually these Kree began worshiping the Cotati that they had kept sheltered. To further hide and keep them safe, the priests relocated the surviving Cotati throughout the universe.

During one of their wars, the Kree Empire experimented on species on different planets in order to create slave-soldiers to help them in their war. While most of these experiments failed, they succeeded on the planet Earth and became Inhumans. However this project was abandoned when the Kree government was overthrown by the Supreme Intelligence. Eventually, the Supreme Intelligence came to be worshiped and an organized religion built up around.

In the distant past, a symbiote was discovered by Kree explorers, who speculated it was being shunned due to cognitive defects and decided to harvest it for further study. The symbiote was eventually bonded to a soldier named Tel-Kar, and underwent months of training alongside him before they were dispatched to fight in the Kree-Skrull War, acting as a deep-cover spy, saboteur, and assassin. The symbiote was separated from Tel-Kar while rescuing Kree refugees - its memories of him erased in the process - and was marooned on a planet when the refugees' ship crash-landed.

Supreme Intelligence
As the Kree prized science and rational thought, they created a living God to those ideals: the Supreme Intelligence.[The worship of that creature was made the Kree official state religion.

The afterlife of the Kree is the Etherplex.

Others
An Kree Army officer and his crew once prayed to the "Gods of Pama". The prayer ended this way: "...and consign you to the gods of Pama, for your having died valiantly in battle... a death that the Kree appreciate above anything else. So say we all".[4]

Korath the Pursuer once made an omen to Gardar, possibly a Kree god.

The government allowed the Universal Church of Truth to erect temples throughout the Kree Empire, including on Kree-Lar.

Some Kree also gathered into secret sects of Cotati worshipers.

The creators of the Kree, the Progenitors, have been called gods of the Kree, in the same way that the Kree have been called gods to the Inhumans.

Languages
The Kree language exist in different versions, including at least ancient Imperial Kree.
