Template:Infobox OrganizationThe Sontaran Empire in Mutter's Spiral was the empire of the Sontarans which fought the Rutan Host in a long war which lasted millenia (DW: The Time Warrior)
Overview
The empire had numerous high ranking bodies such as Sontaran High Command and the Grand Strategic Council. An elite security detachment of the Sontaran Armed Forces was present in the form of the Koda. The Sontaran Special Space Service served a highly trained commando units that were deployed in engagements that required infiltration teams in order to secure a target. The Sontaran Medal of Pacification was awarded to those soldiers that had achieved 10,000 kills of alien species. The rules of law were governed by the Sontaran Military Code.
Positions within the military heirarchy were colour coordinated. Those Sontarans that wore green armour as such were the army's medical and environmental division; one of their duties include the oversight of the cloning vats and the hatcheries. This was because Sontarans prefered a clean death in battle to being patched up. In contrast, members of a ships crew tended to wear blue armour. (MA: Lords of the Storm)
Within the Sontaran Empire, it was the policy to upload the laws of such territory that it had acquired though there was an except when those laws conflicted with the guiding principles of the Sontaran military code. According to this code, anything that was not expressly permitted was considered forbidden. Furthermore, under the laws in the Sontaran Military Code, the death sentence was mandatory for all crimes. (NA: Shakedown) One of the highest authorities within the Empire was the Sontaran Imperator.

History
In the 13th century, the Sontaran Commander Linx of the Fifth Sontaran Battle Group claimed Earth and its satellites and moons in the name of the Empire (DW: The Time Warrior)
One of the priorities given to Sontaran soldiers is the capture of a TARDIS. (EDA: The Eight Doctors)
Nearing the end of the 10,000 years Earth was uninhabitable due to solar flares, Field Major Styre traveled to Earth to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Humanity in order to plan an invasion of the Mutter's Spiral. As they also used Terullian technology, and there is no Terullian in the Mutter's Spiral, it is possible that the Empire life the home galaxy for a while, possibly to find new ways of destroying the Rutans. (DW: The Sontaran Experiment)
