I may have read all that wrong, is the object of this RP to manage a space empire of sorts? Like describe how it works with its people and economy?

That's partially the point. You also need to use individual members of your species to interact with those created by the other players. Establishing the kind of relationship they have with one another. It can be large scale like your empire leaders interacting with heads of the other cities or as small as a space tourist interacting with the planet natives.

Empire Strengths:
-Military State
The Galactic Spartan Empire is a monarchy that is focused solely on warfare. The vast majority of GSE ships are dedicated to expanding GSE Territory. Each planet within GSE Space is equipped with a planet-wide shield that can only be entered by a heavily armed and guarded space station equipped with a myriad of defensive turbolasers and laser cannons. Furthermore, the edges of GSE Space are lined with heavily armed and armored defense stations as well as massive shipyards constantly churning out warships.
-Tactical Knowledge
The GSE had to claw its way to power, and as a result the GSE Commanders are some of the brightest tacticians in the galaxy.
Empire Weaknesses:
-Limited Space-faring Navy
Currently the GSE only has enough ships for a single task force.
-No Diplomats
Sending diplomatic envoys to the GSE will only result in the envoy becoming a hostage of the GSE and maybe even in the envoy's execution. The GSE doesn't know the meaning of the word diplomacy.
-Lack of Food
The GSE can barely produce enough food to feed its populace and is starting to switch to using droids for certain tasks.

You can keep the territory amount and starting fleet, but decrease the defense level on the planets themselves. I want them to have some basis for interacting with other species. Right now the Spartans sound like something out of Warhammer 40K.

((K, what if only core planets have defense stations/planet-wide shields?))

((Ok, that makes sense. They'd focus on strengthening their strongholds. Also, I can't help but find it funny they have 5 farming planets but it's a struggle for them to feed their populace.))

*GSE Probe Droids spread out into systems neighboring GSE Space, looking for ideal occupation candidates*

*One Probe Droid scouts out one of the planets of the Cognit Commonwealth and begins transmitting its coordinates *

*The Dreadnought 3 lumbers out of its dock and begins heading with its escorts towards the transmitted coordinates*

*Another Probe droid scans a Gallifrey planet*

*Dreadnought 3 makes preparations to hyperspace jump into Cognuit space*
