That could definitely turn interesting. Shiar Empire?

For Sarah: The end of the Dark Phoenix Saga in the comics is a battle against the Imperial Guard of Shiar Empire. The Shiar are an alien species who evolved from something like birds to something like humans. Their leader, Lilandra, is Xavier's girlfriend, but this doesn't stop her putting Phoenix on trial for her life for destroying a star system. That's how Jean died. But later they retconned it that Phoenix wasn't really Jean but instead was a cosmic entity taking Jean's form and posing as her in the X-Men while Jean was left out in space in suspended animation. Jean later returned. The retcon took all the force out of he Dark Phoenix Saga, but it enabled them to bring Jean back to join X-Factor in 1986 with the other original X-Men, Scott, Hank, Bobby and Warren. The Dark Phoenix saga dates back to 1981. Oh and there was a hardback publised reprinting Jean's 1986 return. They called it "Phoenix Rising".
