In the mirror books Tiberius (kirk) was considered to be the most brutal of Emperor's. Eventually Spocks faction over threw him and he vanished and Spock took over and weakened the Empire after he first invaded and conquered Bajor.
At the end of the uprising, a Klingon Cardassian fleet fought its way to earth and as a reprisal for generations of brutality evaporated all of the oceans of earth and burned off all the vegetation leaving Earth a cinder. The the Alliance became far more brutal then the Terran Empire ever was.
