The Role Play

Role players will take the mantle of a high ranking position within the Galactic Imperium. Whether it be a politician, head of a Great House, or military officer to name a few. Vying to gain power within the Imperium or secede from it to achieve your own ends. It is recommended to work with other role players to achieve your own ends.

Setting

It is the 26th Millennium, and the Galactic Imperium stretches across the Milky Way Galaxy, an Empire of fifteen million planets, stations, outposts, and asteroid colonies. For twelve thousand years it has endured. Against numerous foes of all sorts. Giving rise to an unprecedented Golden Age for Humanity. The Pax Imperialis has lasted for thousands of years, yet the façade is cracking, being chipped away slowly. The Imperium is decaying, failing, as economic and social stagnation take hold. This is not readily perceptible to the average Imperial citizen. But it is happening.

The Imperium is centered on the world of Nova Terra, a city planet, and capital of the Empire. Home to 80 Billion people the planet is almost entirely covered in thousands of meters of cityscape. Stretching from dangerous Under City to the glittering spires of the top levels. The Imperial District is the only region that still retains natural fauna and native wildlife. Covering much of the Central continent and within it's confines sits the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Dynasty, The Imperial House of Valkyran, also resides on the Imperial World of Odin. Odin is a paradise world of beauty and untarnished environment. Opposite of the built up and completely urbanized world of Nova Terra.

The Imperium

The Imperium is the Galactic political entity that stretches the breadth and width of the Milky Way Galaxy. The light of civilization and the only sovereignty in known space. Semi-autonomous states of a bewildering array do exist but are more or less vassal/protectorate appendages of the Empire. The Imperium internally is divided up into Sectors and Oversectors held by Governors and High Governors; Protectorates and Semi-Autonomous States; and the territorial possessions of the Empire's Great Houses. Therefore planets are often classified not only by terrain but their political position within the Imperium. The Imperium, excluding SAS and Protectorates, is organized under the Imperial Government into Oversectors which are 600 by 600 cubes of space. Those are sub-divided into Sectors of varying sizes depending on stellar density but do not exceed 300 by 300 light years. High Governors have Viceroyal powers in that they have prime administrative authority over the Sector Governors.

Imperial Worlds: Planets that are under the direct rule of the Imperial House or Government.

Protectorate: Worlds that are essentially self-governing in all aspects but external affairs.

Semi-Autonomous State (SAS World): A world that is self-governing and has its own limited military force. Usually because it covers more than one star system. Officially allowed to have a Representative/Senator in the Imperial Senate.

Colony: A world that is not officially an Imperial World and dependent on external support until it became self-sufficient enough to gain higher status. These are often harsh worlds with limited populations operating for a specific purpose like miners or pioneers. Typically chartered and have minimal Imperial oversight if at all.

Spacer Domains: Stations, colonized asteroids, and void based communes are classified as Spacer Domains and have to send tithes to the Empire to allow them to be bestowed with charters allowing them free travel anywhere within Imperial territory.


Planetary Class:
Gaia/Alpha Class: Rare natural gems of worlds, paradise worlds.
Continental/Beta Class: Terrestrial planets
Terraformed/Epsilon Class: Worlds that have been terraformed through artificial means
Arid/Gamma Class: Planets that are terrestrial but arid climate
Barren/Delta Class: Most planets with an atmosphere are just barren rock
Alpine/Cheti Class: Mountainous worlds, often mineral rich
Artic/Omega Class: Freezing worlds of snow and ice
Dead/Zeta: Lifeless worlds that are either atmosphere less
Death/Theta Class: Worlds where the very environment is hostile to non-natives
Tomb/Iota Class: Technically a sub-class of a world that once had life or an atmosphere and now doesn't.
Volcanic/Yota Class: Hellish worlds of fire and unstable tectonic activity

The Imperial Senate & Government

The Emperor is the prime executive authority within the Empire, and used to be a completely Absolute Monarchy, however four thousand years prior the Imperial Senate was formed out of increasing social and political pressure. Comprised of the Upper House or House of Magnates that is composed of the Great Houses (higher nobility) and SAS Representatives; The Lower House made up of the Imperial Governorates. The Imperial Senate effectively runs the day to day business of the Empire and is the prime legislative body.

The Emperorship

Occupying the Celestial Throne is the Emperor. The Imperial House of Valkyran has held the throne for most of the Empire's history. It is the prime executive authority in the Empire and the Commander-In-Chief of the Imperial Military; though day to day top level decision making his done by the Joint Chiefs.

The Imperial Military
The Imperial Military is answerable to the Emperor as Commander-in-Chief, The Joint Chiefs who have operational authority and top level administrative powers, and the Imperial Senate where civilian and economic matters are concerned. The Imperial Military is divided into the Imperial Navy, Army, Guard, Praetorian, Logisticae & CyberTroops (Military research, development, exploration, logistics), and Imperial Intelligence (sub-divided into Navy, Army, Security for Imperial property and offices, and black ops). The Joint Chiefs are appointed by the Emperor, and are made up of officers from all the Imperial military branches.

The Imperial Navy is responsible for all void and aerospace warfare. The Army is the planetary fighting force of the Empire and garrisons worlds across the Milky Way Galaxy. The Guard also named Imperial Stormtroopers is an elite shock troop Corps typically deployed for specific operations. The Praetorians are the personal force to protect the Imperial Household, Palace, and person of the Emperor. The Logisticae fills in the auxiliary rolls of the Imperial military while Imperial Intelligence is the primary information collection agency.
Ranks and Further Information

The Imperial Navy, Imperial Starfleet, Imperial Warfleet, and informally by dozens of other names across various dialects and planets. The Navy is the void arm of Imperial Will and monopolizes Imperial void warfare in all aspects. At first it was simply the vastly enlarged and rapidly expanding Nova Terran Navy, itself borne from the Nova Terran Space Defense Force, and was not formally referred to as the Imperial Navy until twenty years into the reign of Emperor Augustian I (circa 5800AD). The Imperial Navy has grown, been reformed, and evolved over the course of the Imperium's history. During the reign of Emperor Augustian I, it numbered several hundred thousand vessels of various classes and bewildering array of origins, having absorbed many of the leftover ships of defeated polities. As the early Navy was beset by a vaunted logistical nightmare on how to deal with patrolling a vast dominion. Augustian however laid the grown work of the Navy's organizational structure by tasking over half of it to specific Sectors and Oversectors, and the other half into strategic or reserve fleets.

Augustian's grandson, Karellian, was the first Emperor to deploy the fleet with the intent to ravage an entire planet from orbit. Sacking and devastating Procyon Primaris, the capital of the defunct Star Kingdom of Orion, in what would be the Imperial Navy's first major engagement against an internal opponent. Emperor Karelus I formally ratified the Militari Centralum in Perpetuito which abolished the rights of nobles, Protectorates, SAS's, and colonial militia forces from having their own first rate combat fleets. While also centralizing the command structure of the Navy with the formal founding of the Admiralty on Nova Terra. As before the rank of Admiral was a purely war time rank and replaced the now ancient rank of Commodore. During this time the Navy was constantly battling piracy and smugglers as the Imperium carried out great waves of colonization into the Periphery.

The Navy under Emperor Siegan I, became the primary space enforcers of the Lex Imperialis when it was introduced during his reign, and in t he following civil wars dealing with the Imperial successions of Kysteria and Amadira a centralized academy system was formed across the Galaxy. The Navy escorted colonizing vessels into the Magellanic Clouds and were at the forefront with the war against the OSB. During which time the Rank of Grand Admiral was introduced and the Navy had to recover from massive losses despite ultimate victory being achieved. Losing tens of billions of spacers, pilots, and officers in the titanic struggle.

The Imperial Navy is organized from the top down into strategic, sector, and reserve units. The strategic formations of the Navy are not assigned to a specific region of space but usually given an Imperial Warrant to pursue specific goals, patrol specific regions, or conduct certain operations. These formations are known as Armadas (numbered) and broken down into several numbered Fleets. The Sector fleets are the fleets assigned to Oversectors and their sector sub-units. Often these formations adopt the name of the sector they are assigned too, many wearing them with pride as esprit d'corps or putting them on the campaign banners of their ships to show how many areas, battles, or actions they've participated in. The Reserve Fleets are numbered but always with the letter 'R' given before their numeric designation. Below the Fleet level are flotillas and squadrons. Squadrons typically number a dozen ships in total while flotillas are usually taskforces assigned for specific operations.

Marines
The Imperial Marine Corps, Gunheads (by their Navy counterparts), or Void Troopers are subordinate to the Navy and assigned to protect Navy ships, stations, installations, and property. Trained in Marine Corps Academies, first founded under Emperor Archedammus I, as before the Navy provided their own security and did not have a distinct organization specializing in it. Marines are often in competition with their Army counterparts when operating in the same theater since on occasion their actions may overlap. On more than one occasion full on brawls between battalions have occurred in the mess halls over trivial matters of whose unit has racked up more kills over their formation's history.

The Imperial Army, Jarheads, Mudsloggers, and a myriad other flattering or insulting names. The Imperial Army's history places it as the oldest branch in the Imperium under the technicality that Emperor Augustian formally referred to the Imperial Army in the first year of his reign. The Imperial Army originally being the amalgamation and generic term for the extremely wide array of forces that came under the Imperium's banner. Originally having authority over their Navy counterparts till the Act of Separation formally dissolved any inter-rank authority save under specific monarch decree.

The Imperial Army has fought across thousands of star systems since the Imperium's founding, and went head to head with the OSB in over thirty-million recorded engagements across the Galaxy. The Army garrisons worlds and locations across the Imperium. Operating over one hundred Academies and specializing in dozens of terrestrial and EVA environments. It is the most diverse branch in the Imperial military, a common joke being, "The Army has a soldier for that," as a reference to the high degree of specialized formations existing within its organization.

The Army is organized into fireteams, squads, platoons, companies, battalions, Regiments/Brigades, Divisions, Corps, Armies, System Armies, Sector Armies, and Theatre Armies. The lowest unit ranging down to a pair of troopers at minimum to the top level possessing up to a few billion soldiers.

The Imperial Guard, Imperial Stormtroopers, and other names refers to the elite corps of troops fanatically loyal to the Emperor, Celestial Throne, and Imperium. Routinely recruiting orphans into their ranks, the Guard is often fanatical in their devotion, which can put them at odds with other organizations. A Guardsman's life is a Spartan one, enduring a tough and rigorous recruitment and training regimen, followed by often being posted to the most hazardous warzones in the Galaxy. The end result is a cold, efficient, devoted warrior who will take orders without question and carry on fighting even if suffering crippling casualties. As such Guardsmen are often only sent in to deal with civilians when in extreme situations do to the fact they have a record for dispensing harsh, often casualty strewn, policies for those breaking Imperial Law. Guardsmen at the tactical level resemble their Army counterparts, organized into fire teams, squads, platoons, and companies. But as you move into the strategic realm they differ. Guard battalions are often purely combat formations, support battalions instead replaced by support brigades on Guard ORBAT's, Guard Regiments and Divisions are often permanent formations with long campaign histories. Usually given honorifics by reigning monarchs for their actions. The top level organization is the Legion ranging from 50k to one million Guardsmen.

The Guard originated during the reign of Emperor Valorian, replacing the older Imperial Palace, Household, and Royal troops (dating back to the Nova Terran Imperium or pre-Galactic Imperium nation).

The Praetorians, Praetorian Guard, Imperial Bodyguards, Palace Guards, Watchers, Golden Ones; the Praetorians go by many names. The official bodyguards and protectors of the Imperial family, Palace District on Nova Terra, and any major property like the Imperial complexes on Odin. They are as old as the Galactic Imperium itself and perhaps even predate it. Emperor Augustian makes mention of the 300 'Companion Praetorians' as the likely original core of warriors. Certainly by the reign of Emperor Valorian they took their canonical appearance and size at 10,000 Praetorians plus support, auxiliary, and automaton assets. The Praetorians are an intensively secret organization often seen as wielding arcane technology and even their exact recruitment methods are unknown to all outside of their number. Staunchly loyal to the Imperial family, Celestial throne, and reigning Emperor who directly pays and oversees their finance. Praetorian suits are themselves artifacts, the golden armor that is iconic of them being ancient Solarian suits of armor, and possibly even predate the Nova Terran Imperium (hence predating the Galactic Imperium by centuries if not thousands of years). Their weapons themselves are often artifacts or the most advanced of Imperial technologies and assets. For no expense is to much for the Emperor's guardians. They alone grant audiences, access to the Palace district, and protect the Imperial Vaults. Not even the Senate may command them nor demand inquiries unto them for they are beholden to no one but whomever sits on the Celestial Throne and even the Lex Imperialis is explicit upon their powers being beyond reproach. Praetorians may act as the Emperor's authority and persona in absentia and wield imperium maius in regards to operations within their purview or warrant from the reigning monarch. In regards to Imperial citizens they are official arbitrators with extra-judiciary powers, and may wield tribunician powers in pursuit of their duties, not even Senators may be except from them in regards to the Lex Imperialis. For the Praetorians may be Judge, Jury, and Executioner in pursuit of their duties.

Varies between who they are attached too. Medical staff will have doctoral or nurse titles. Engineers will be titled Imperial Engineers etc. There often have two ranks: first is a rank given by what branch they are supporting and the second is their specialization. So an Army Doctor could be Captain of Medical Unit 109 as an example. The Logisticae does not have a reserve, but rather is split into Sector and strategic elements under their own respective Directors.

The Imperial Intelligence Bureau or II for short is the amalgamation of the various intelligence agencies in the Imperium. Until the reign of Emperor Valorian and his son, Valerius, the different branches had their own distinct Intelligence commands. However, in an effort for greater coordination they where all amalgamated into one central agency under the Emperor. The II is the most fluid branch in the Imperial military and as such its teams, sections, and divisions vary wildly from one to the other.

Era of Old Earth
BC-2200AD
Spanning from Pre-History to the 22nd Century AD the Era of Old Earth was a time when humanity was confined to the Sol System and the only habitable planet of Earth. By the Mid-21st Century Earth was plagued with resource wars, famine, and all manner of conflict. It was this desperation that launched the first automated mining stations and research facilities on The Moon, Mars, and the Asteroid belt. Progressing to permanent habitats on the Moon and Mars by 2080. By 2100 Humanity was choking Earth as overpopulation reached critical levels and the first generation ship left Earth for the Alpha Centauri system. Many more would follow for other neighboring stars. But by 2175 Humanity had discovered a very primitive form of FTL using an Alcubierre drive. Allowing ships to reach systems up to 5 Light years away in a single calculated jump. Some of these new ships arrived in systems before the surviving generation ships arrived and the local group of stars was colonized.

The United Federation Era
2200AD-2347AD)
The limits of Human FTL and navigation limited Humanity to the local bubble of stellar systems. However even then great leaps in colonization where forming. Along with this came the first colonial wars as more developed worlds began to show signs of increased planetary consciousness to themselves as separate from Earth. Eventually culminating into the damaging Great Colonial Schism which was a series of wars from 2314-2347AD. Bringing an end to the United Federation and formally dissolving the United Nations and their parliamentary system. In exchange establishing the United Earth Directorate. A corporate conglomerate.

The Corporate Era
2347AD-2402AD
The rise of megacorporation's taking control of entire worlds replaced the former nations of Earth as the leaders of humanity. Great economic gains where made at the cost of social and civil liberties. But the corporations ruled with an iron fist as they are what funded the Earth military which won the Great Colonial Schism. It was not until the Martian Revolt of 2399 and the subsequent struggle that the corporations lost political and military power. Being replaced by the Terran Republic which returned to the ideals of democracy. Primitive Terraforming technology was introduced during this time to remake Mars and many other worlds into fully hospitable planets.

Terran Republic.
2402AD-2463AD
The Terran Republic saw a restoration of the democratic ideals of the of democracy. However this too ended when a coup led by the victorious Admiral Julian Apostaric, victor of the Frontier Wars against the rebellious human settles of the Sirius Star system during the Sirian Insurgency. Founding the short lived Terran Hegemony that only lasted till 2477 with the murder of Apostaric and his entire family by Wilhelm von Ravenstar. Founding the Terran Empire with a constitution granting social and economic freedoms along with technological advances with the introduction of the Warp Engine.

Diaspora and Terran Empire
2477AD-2955
The Diaspora and Empire go hand in hand as the Imperial fronted Warp Engine allowed humans to make calculated jumps that where cost effective at distances of up to 15 light years before needing refueling. Along with increased navigation computers allowed humanity to colonize much of the Orion Arm. The Ravenstar monarchs, good or bad, reigned over a momentous time in human history. The drawback was that the Empire was being outpaced by the rate of exploration and colonization with hundreds of worlds settled. The introduction of more advanced terraforming techniques hastened the amount of time it took to transform a world and also make it more Earthlike than ever before. It was in the beginning of this era that the Original Twenty, referencing the original Twenty worlds that managed to be founded without Imperial control took place. Forming nascent states out of the reach of the Empire. Ultimately this led to the Great War when the Empire learned and sought to conquer the Original Twenty. The result was the nuclear bombardment of Earth and the destruction of seven of the Original Twenty along with widespread damage to the Empire. Fragmenting humanity and Earth began to be lost to obscurity.

Spacer Era & Rise of the Galactic Empire
3600AD-5786AD

By 3600AD many of the warring states in the Orion Arm had been absorbed by the Star Kingdom of Orion (British Empire in space) centered on Procyon Primaris. The other three major Galactic dominions arising from the newly colonized arms of the Galaxy being the Sagittarius Star Empire (modeled on the German Empire/Prussia), Cygnus Interstellar Hegemony (Asian themed), and the Perseus United Systems (Western Democracy themed). Further advances like the Positron Matrix to create true artificial intelligences, various FTL drives allowing anything from a few dozen light years to thousands in a matter of hours, and all manner of biological enhancements.

In 5786AD the world of Nova Terra was the capital of the regional power, the Novan Imperium, that as the larger four Empires engaged in a bitter struggle for power managed to eclipse them all. Slowly absorbing them all until it was the sole Galactic power left. Styling itself the Galactic Imperium.

Age of the Imperium
5786AD-Present)
The Era of the Empire is the longest period of Human civilization. Stretching over twenty-thousand years absorbing all of known space. Launching a wave of exploration, colonization, economic growth, and technological explosion. In a way the Galactic Imperium was expected, greater FTL and technology allowing for a practical galaxy wide government to form.

Humanity under the Imperium is varied, with most worlds having high standards of life and the average life span at roughly 250 years. Many worlds are either self-sufficient or heavily specialized. Industrial worlds producing trillions in goods, to Agricultural worlds producing enough food stuff to feed entire star systems, to worlds devoted to the advancement of human knowledge. Imperial Medicine and Bionics allow those with the means to acquire it can greatly extend their life span.

Humanity is also more varied, many of the oldest Human worlds have populations that mirror their environments or possess unique traits and therefore forming different races. Alien populations, a minority, are generally extended the same privileges as humans if they assimilate into Imperial culture.

Talents/Skills: Competent Administrator, able to play multiple musical instruments, and possesses good skill in combat.
Religious Beliefs: Atheist.
Personality: Charming, polite, and a gentleman. Baldor was raised for Imperial Court life and plays it well. However internally he is a deeply conflicted man who knows the Emperorship pales to what it once was. Concerned over the erosion of power for the bickering of the Senate and the fragmentation of the Empire.
Biography: Born to Emperor Koronus I and his sixth wife Verina, Koronus only child, and rumored that the previous Emperor had to have Medicinal assistance to get his wife pregnant. Baldor was born on a cold morning on the planet of Nova Terra. Within the Imperial Palace. Raised more by Empress Verina and the Imperial Vicar (chamberlain) Ernest da'Zurgenfeld than his own father; this was probably a good thing. Koronus was lazy and let more of the Emperorships authority diminish. However, Baldor was raised to become quite the astute young man. Entering service with the Imperial Army and then the Guard to earn military experience at age 25. He lived, ate, and slept in the same rooms as Imperial soldiers. Although under the watchful eye of the Praetorians who where ever close by. Until the age of 42 when he left service and entered the administration. Appointed as the military governor of the troublesome planet of Orsar XIV. Needless to say he managed to end the rebellious sentiment there adequately enough.

Ascending to the Celestial Throne amidst much pomp, Baldor could have lived a life of endless luxury as the wealthiest man in the Galaxy, but instead chose modesty.

Sayshelle was home to one of the largest Naval bases and training centers in the Imperium.

Transferring with the rank of Ensign she was spent two years at the academy. Graduating with certification to fly assault craft, auxiliary craft, and larger ships up to cruisers.

In an effort to keep her training on track they had her transferred to be tutored by one of the Imperium's Grand Admirals.

Biography:
Born to an affluent family, Jacob was educated by many tutors but one of them of the name Lucas was the one who stand out. Lucas taught Jacob about various great leaders through history, how civilizations fell and rise. One of them was the United States and its constitution which Jacob became enamored with along with several other freedom movements through history.

Eventually Jacob grew to become an idealist revolutionary who wished for a better galaxy that was ruled by the people for the people. His ideas garner attention from imperial authorities and his family. He was outcasted from his family and deemed as Persona Non grata by the empire and went into hiding. Soon he gathered several other revolutionaries and joined in an effort to unite an army to take down the empire, it failed and he was incarcerated for treason. He along other followers escaped during a riot and went off to spread their message across several worlds building a massive following from both the one of the bottom and the ones in the middle to eventually garner the support of some full fledged planetary governments who decided to separate from the empire and join in a coalition to fight the empire.

Jacob though reluctant, was pushed to be the leader the coalition needed, he enacted a reform to make a representative and judicial body to represent the people and was voted on by the people, he also united the armies under one single banner. The Coalition has engaged the empire in a war of attrition using guerrillea tactics and Jacob's charismatic and strong leadership. He has a cybernetic left arm, he lost it when he escaped the Imperial prison he was at.

Name of Territory: The Free Planet Militia, which is the secret rebel branch that consists of now mnay systems in the Exterior and several in the middle regions
Government: United Planetary Representative Body, militia.


It has kept this title as secreta as it continues to be part of the empire. So far the leaders of the planets and Jacob Salazar have been planning to unite other planets under a Coalition but talks of this are highly secretive and any possible infiltrator is eliminated. Most people (Human and Alien) in these worlds have bad opinions of the empire and do not know of the Militias existence. Military leaders have assured their loyalty and willingness to die over being compromised.

So far most leaders of the planets seem to be on board and are waiting on Salazar to contact other rebel movements that would aid the cause.

Capital World: Kepler 02
Population: 100 billion at least
Economy: Several planets concentrate on many types of economies, some in metals, others in consumers goods, vehicles, weapons, and many in minning of ores.
Culture: Many different cultures varying in planets
Social Structure: Middle and lower class.
Territorial Size: Influence in most Exterior planets and in many middle region planets
Military and Security Forces: numbering in 30 million in total size and varying in equipment and in training but all under one single banner and all eager to fight and die for the cause. They have also industrial capacities to create their own weapons, equipment and even vehicles. The most recent revolts in the Exterior regions have give the Militia more industrial capabilities

[Utceforp]

I'm thinking of being a high-ranking military officer or the heir to the throne.

[Lunas Legion]

I'll app either for Lord General of the Imperial Guard or Chief Director of Intelligence.

I guess i well be the Grand Admiral and Duke of a Planet that is similar to the translyvania told in the horror stories.

There are multiple Grand Admirals. Just a heads up. You probably won't be the only one.

[Arengin Union]

I'll lead the Coalition to war with the Empire. Down with the Emperor!!!! Freedom!!

[Max Empire]

Easier said than done... The Coalition has 14 planets... The Empire has over 15 million...

Lol. We'll see about that. Transylvania doesn't sound very original.

Have to check with Imps, but probably not... The Empire may be crumbling, but it is stated that the average person doesn't notice it very much. Dissent against the Emperor isn't a major concern for the Government. At least from what she told me.

My idea was either A mad duke of a Transylvania style planet with equally terrifying alien lifeforms that or a Human due to the conditions of their planet caused to revert to dwarf like people.

Ohhh. The Dwarf thing sounds pretty cool. You could just go outright alien if you want to though. Aliens do exist, albeit they're a bit rare...

I was also thinking of a Grand Admiral, though for the sake of diversity maybe a Marshal would be better. My character's going to be an ascetic, hard-working loyalist who loves the Emperor, hates the Senate, has few friends, and generally goes out of his way to not enjoy life. He has a vision for the Empire and hopes that he can gain the Emperor's help in achieving that vision. I'm not sure how distant the Emperor is from the bureaucracy that governs in his name, but if the Emperor isn't too isolated I was thinking my character could be something of a confidante and acquaintance of his.

The Emperor is sort of sidelined by the government... Imps has also said the current Emperor is a bit... Mediocre... Not a very inspiring or dull figure, not smart or dumb... But certainly not the right person to save the Empire...
