More than any other group, the Maniac Warrior Empire is the face of crime and violence on American Streets. A loose affiliation of American criminal martial arts streets gangs, the empire has been steadily taking over territory from traditional, gun-using gangs, and threatens to reduce the entire country to anarchy. Far outnumbering the Five Venoms in America, the Empire is unable to overthrow them but is powerful enough to maintain the independence of its own turfs, although with constant skirmishes and battles. | More than any other group, the Maniac Warrior Empire is the face of crime and violence on American Streets.

Empire gangers hate the Vigilantes, with whom they are locked in an eternal war, one side fighting to rule the streets and the other to protect them. They are often less familiar with the Wulin, though in neighborhoods where the Wulin take them on, bitter hatred soon develops.4 | Empire gangers hate the Vigilantes, with whom they are locked in an eternal war, one side fighting to rule the streets and the other to protect them.

The Empire wants to see the Venoms driven from the USA, while the Venoms want to see the Empire destroyed. Wushu knows that it must one day destroy the Empire, it seems content to watch it flourish for now, perhaps hoping that rampant crime will destabilize the American government and make it an easier target for infiltration and manipulation. The Empire, in turn, pays Wushu little attention. Empire gangs rarely know much about the Laughing Devils and so are often eager to ally with them if they can. The Devils see the naïve Empire as a potential source of lots of fun and anarchy. |
