| With the restoration of Scholae Palatinae to Clan status, House Imperium was formed to further the goals of the Emperor and the Empire within the [[Cocytus System]]. Imperial to the core, each member of the House serves the Empire in a secondary capacity such as in the military, intelligence agency, or the bureaucracy that keeps the Empire going on a daily basis.
| | Imperium is currently in devotion to keeping the Empire safe, exploring the reaches of the Empire, and securing knowledge and artifacts for the Empire to utilize in the future at the behest of the Emperor. |

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| ===Foundation=== | | ===The First Age Period=== |
| At the end of [[Darth Ashen|Darth Ashen's]] reign, [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Emperor Xen]] formed two Houses that would embody the spirit of the [[Clan Scholae Palatinae|Empire]] itself. One of the Houses would be known as [[House Excidium|Excidium]]. The other House would be known as Imperium. Respectively, one to protect the Empire and strike from the shadows, the other to be the Empire itself and to run it in the light. The first Imperator of House Imperium was [[Kell Dante]], while the first Aedile was [[Zagro Fenn]]. By the order of Emperor Xen, the headquarters of the Clan was placed on the [[March Isles]] in the northern hemisphere of [[Judecca]].
| |
|
| |
| As a testament to the strength of the House, it was given its first task. When the Entanglements uprising broke out on [[Ptolomea]], the House Imperium was sent to put it down alongside House Excidium. After the uprising, interstellar pirates had attacked both Clans [[Clan Scholae Palatinae|Scholae Palatinae]] and [[Clan Naga Sadow|Naga Sadow]]. House Excidium excelled at the task. But this only showed what House Imperium was meant for. The Emperor cannot be bothered with every single need and duty of the civilian and military population. This is why Imperium exists. To deal with these as an extension of the Emperor. It was also around this time that [[Shadow Guard]] was formed, which was used for stealth attacks and protection of the House Leadership.
| |
| | |
| ===Consolidation===
| |
| Under the Imperators Kell Dante and then Lexiconus Qor, House Imperium saw the itself grow in experience and in purpose. During the [https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Clan_Scholae_Palatinae_History#The_Forgotten_.2834_ABY.29 Forgotten Campaign], Kell Dante lead the House in a great battle against the Pacre Datship followers and their false Emperor. With the Judeccan Abyssal eventually attacking Ohmen, Lexiconus took it upon himself to head off the destruction of the monster. In the eyes of the Emperor and the stepping down of Kell Dante as Imperator, Lexiconus took on the face of leader of the House.
| |
| | |
| In the position of Imperator, Lexiconus Qor brought out a new age of reform for the House, solidifying offices and organizing the Imperial ideology under his command. With the aid of a few trusted advisors, the Imperial War Office and Imperial Resource Center became united organizations under his reign, while the Imperial Academy of Judecca expanded its reach into the House, Clan, and Cocytus System itself. By the will of the Emperor, House Imperium and [[House Excidium|other elements]] carried out the dismantling of the nobility systems in the Clan, placing the money back into the hands of the people and the government and boosting the general happiness of the citizens. These reforms were even [[Subterfuge|tested]] by the Emperor in his own gauntlet, pitting members against each other (the above ground elements of the Clan versus the secretive elements of the Clan). In the end, Imperium conquered the other elements within the Clan and cemented itself as a legitimate and reformed House.
| |
| | |
| ===Obscurity===
| |
| Following the [[Subterfuge]] operation, [[Clan Naga Sadow]] and [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] continued to work jointly on transporting the Sith artifacts from the Red Fury pirates to their respective systems. However, on the hidden whims of the [[Xen'Mordin Vismorsus|Emperor]] of the Cocytus System, Clan Scholae Palatinae launched an attack on Clan Naga Sadow, [[Shattered Ties|taking most of the artifacts for themselves]]. House Imperium loaned undercover soldiers during this crisis of opportunity under the orders of the [[Cyris Oscura|Grand Vizier]] and aided in the taking of Clan Naga Sadow defensive positions. Imperium helped attain victory in the operation, gaining most artifacts in the process. The [[Locke Sonjie|Consul]] and [[Sanguinius Tsucyra|Proconsul]] of Clan Naga Sadow escaped with their lives, even though they suffered a loss. Unbeknownst to most of the victorious Clan, the [[Darth Pravus|Grand Master]] picked the artifacts clean from the holds of the [[NSD Dark Paladin]], leaving them only with the thanks of the [[Iron Throne]].
| |
| | |
| ===Rising from the Shadows=== | |
| | |
| ==Leadership==
| |
| The head of the House is known as the Imperator. The Imperator controls the day to day activities of the House, and to a degree, the lesser known aspects of the bureaucracy. The Imperator is also the epitome of [[starwars:Imperialization|Imperial ideals]] in public life and heads up the Imperial War Office and, to a lesser extent, has leeway in Imperial Scholae Intelligence. They create a daily summary of happenings within the Empire and report it directly to the Emperor and Grand Vizier on almost a daily basis.
| |
| | |
| The Aedile is known as the Chief of Operations in House Imperium. They represent the future of the Empire and the goals that can be achieved with coordinated economic and scientific effort. To this end, they are in charge of the Imperial Resource Center. They prepare a daily report to the Grand Admiral on the day to day issues of the Empire.
| |
| | |
| The Battleteam Leader has two main positions; head of the stealth group, Shadow Guard, and Chief Administrator of the Imperial Academy of Judecca. The BTL works on the education of citizens and low-ranked basic military personnel, as well as provides reports and recommended recruits for the Imperial Scholae Intelligence shadow program within the Imperial Academy.
| |
| | |
| When there is no Imperator, the immediate underling takes control of their duties. When there is no Aedile or Battleteam Leader, their direct superior takes control of their duties until the position is filled.
| |
| | |
| ==Government==
| |
| House Imperium is a semi-dictatorial, techno-meritocracy based around a militarized society. The Imperator is the head of the March Isles and is the planetary governor of Judecca. The Emperor, Grand Vizier, and Grand Admiral all have power over the House, but when they do not intervene the Imperator is trusted with the duty of the upholding the system. People who choose to succeed and do so will get further within the House. Imperium controls four massive swathes of the intersectional and powerful forces of the Clan:
| |
| | |
| *Military
| |
| *Science
| |
| *Bureaucracy
| |
| *Economics
| |
| | |
| The military of the Clan is mostly headed by the Emperor and Grand Vizier, along with the Grand Admiral. However, the Imperator is given control of a small fleet, as well as the Executor. How this military industrial complex functions on a daily basis is controlled by House Imperium and its Imperator. As an extension of the military industrial complex, the research and development aspects of the Clan are controlled through the military and to a small degree, Imperial Scholae Intelligence. Thus, the scienfitic advances (both public and secret) come from House Imperium. Also an extension, the economic security of the Cocytus System is developed and controlled through House Imperium and the military. Lastly, the bureaucracy is controlled entirely from House Imperium, which invokes the will of the Emperor and the desire of the population.
| |
| | |
| Every citizen of the Empire is a part of these elements in some way. Private citizens rarely exist, and when they do it is because they have earned a place or have permission to exist outside of the normal boundaries of the citizenry. Many would question, though, why they would want to.

| ===Imperial War Office===
| | Imperium was created during Emperor Xen’s reign, with Kell Dante at the helm as Imperator (Quaestor of House Imperium). The House existed primarily as a mode for the Emperor to signify and enact his will, with Imperium controlling the ground forces and allowing the leaders of the Empire to work through the bureaucracy of an empire. Over time, Imperium would become known as the center of all things related to the Empire, whether it was the Imperial holonews, the training academies, the background work, and scientific research. |
| The IWO is the main office of the Imperator. Based on the northern shores of the March Isles, the IWO is an office where the Imperator works on his day to day activities and networks. Different heads of departments report directly to him on the information presented going throughout the Empire. Four of these departments hold special places and bigger roles within the IWO.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====Interstellar Security Council====
| | Imperium’s might would be tested against pirates who would plan a joint attack against Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Naga Sadow. It was after this attack that Kell Dante orchestrated the creation of Imperium’s first battleteam: Shadow Guard. Shadow Guard protected the Imperator, the Aedile, and other notable House members, as well as performed stealth attacks, and first strikes. |
| Everyday a meeting is schedule between top military and intelligence personnel within the Clan. Along with the Imperator, they combine a daily brief and message that is to be sent to the Emperor and Grand Vizier. They also discuss matters of internal and external security and to a lesser degree the bylaws of the individual military structures. IntSec also operates as a secondary command base during war time, working in situations where the Emperor is potentially incapacitated. The department was set up in concordance with the end of the rule of Darth Fallax.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====Imperial Diplomatic Alliance====
| | During the Forgotten Campaign, Kell Dante lead the House in a great battle against the Pacre Datship followers and their false Emperor. With the Judeccan Abyssal eventually attacking Ohmen, Lexiconus took it upon himself to head off the destruction of the monster. In the eyes of the Emperor and the stepping down of Kell Dante as Imperator, Lexiconus took on the face of leader of the House. |
| The IDA is a group of diplomats, military advisors, and economists that work with the Imperator on diplomatic security, protocol, and ambassadorial duties of the Clan. They also operate the embassies of the Iron Throne and respective Clans, as well as potential outside corporate embassies wishing to do economic actions within the Cocytus System. Following the Shattered Ties event, the department was upgraded from a simple diplomatic group to a sprawling alliance of people that help bring unity and control to potentially explosive situations. The Imperator has direct control on who is sent as ambassadors to other places, Clans, and to the Iron Throne.
| |
|
| |
|
| The usual group that meets involves:
| | Lexiconus reformed the House into a group to be reckoned with. When the Emperor tested both of the Clan’s Houses against each other, Imperium became the victor. This work continued into an age of false cooperation between Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Naga Sadow. Vowing revenge against the pirates that had attacked them and stolen Sith artifacts from them, they launched an attack that soon divided them into who would obtain which artifacts. Although the outcome was victorious for House Imperium and Excidium, the Iron Throne soon picked all the artifacts from the Clan. |
|
| |
|
| *Imperator
| | The Iron Throne eventually came back for more, and decided to burn through the Cocytus System and Judecca. In the aftermath, Imperium was homeless and aided in the finding of a new home. |
|
| |
|
| *Operations Representative
| | ===The Lost Period=== |
|
| |
|
| *Administration Representative
| | Dek Ironius II was made battleteam leader of Shadow Guard for a short time. During this time, he had attempted to help Clan Scholae Palatinae find a new home. He eventually stumbled on a planet with a group of clans who called themselves the Moldates: brutal warriors fighting for land all over their system. It was during this time, most of Shadow Guard had been killed, and Dek along with the few remaining members had escaped with their lives. Dek soon returned to Imperium, taking some soldiers and some ships and equipment with him to fight the Moldates. |
|
| |
|
| *ISI Chief Analyst
| | During the search for a new home, Jurdan Krennel, Shadow Guard’s former leader, had supposedly been captured, and Lexiconus thought dead. During this time, Kell Dante retook power of Imperium and attempted to find out who had caused the attack. While most of Imperium’s leaders took aim at Clan Naga Sadow, Kell thought that the Moldates or another enemy may have been responsible. His words were proven true when an assassin Ulfsark had found was chased to Moldren 11, a planet that Dek and his faction of Imperium were currently attacking. |
|
| |
|
| *Icon Security Services Corporate Representative
| | It was during this operation that it was found out the Moldates used nuclear technology to fight their enemies. Dek was summoned by Kell, along with Calindra to an Imperium war center. There they planned the battle of Moldren 11. They attacks were successful. But Dek planted orders counter to what Calindra and Kell had wanted, placing him into prison. Calindra became head of a new battleteam devoted to intelligence and strategy: battleteam Pallaeon. While Wagglehorn, who lead one of the ground attacks, became battleteam leader of a team devoted to military and war: battleteam Krennic. |
|
| |
|
| *Fleet Advisor
| | It was discovered soon that Kell already had Lexiconus safe in a bacta tank. Upon healing, Lexiconus promoted Dek to Aedile in a sign of solidarity. But Dek had used this time to gain allies; such as Bridge Commander Arthur McElroy, ace pilot Alphus Centaurus, and a hidden friend, Nyx Noxium. |
|
| |
|
| *Ground Forces Advisor
| | Skirmishes with the Moldates pressed on, but when the Caperion System was found and made the place of Imperium’s future home, new orders came in. Not only did a new Empress come into power, but Raiju, a newcomer, was eventually made head of the House. During his reign he oversaw Imperium solidify it’s base on a plethora of ships, but focused on Caelestis City on Ragnath. He also oversaw House Imperium through its war with The Collective. |
|
| |
|
| *Delegate from the Imperial Diplomatic Alliance
| | ===The Revolution Period=== |
|
| |
|
| *Delegate from the Imperial Senate
| | Eventually, Raiju would become the new Proconsul of the Clan, with Dek replacing him. Dek would bring in new reforms on how the House worked, detaching it from the central Clan authority that it had always occupied. He used his allies to gain a new foothold in the House and focused on three major strategies: exploration, battle, and knowledge. He made Darth Aeternus his Aedile, Reiden leader of battleteam Krennic, and Wagglehorn leader of battleteam Pallaeon. |
|
| |
|
| ====Imperial Police Force====
| | With this new image, Dek attempted to rally his House to fight off a new enemy with new connections to Excidium’s enemies as well as the Moldates. Dek wanted to end the Moldate conflict once and for all. |
| The IPF is a civilian police force that gives ordinary citizens control over their communities to a lesser degree. When the military is too strong a hand, the IPF steps in to control and head off the situation. They mostly contain potential riots and act as a community spying group to root out infiltrators and useless personality traits within the citizenry. Complaints go through official channels and are dealt with swiftly. The Imperator controls the group ultimately, making sure that they stay within the bounds of Imperial law and remain subservient to the military authority within the Clan.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====The Imperial Senate==== | | ==Organization== |
| Following the Subterfuge campaign, the Imperial Civilian Government was rebuilt into the Imperial Senate. The ICG used to be a useless mouth piece for controlling the population, but the Senate now as more authority to carry out the will of the Emperor, serving as occasional diplomats, keepers of the peace, and tacticians throughout the Empire. They meet occasionally to discuss the inner workings of the Empire and how to better serve the Emperor and the Imperator. The Imperator is the head of the Senate as well, setting the times to meet and the topics of discussion relevant to the Empire. None of the Senators are elected by the people. They are all chosen within leadership divisions of the Empire, making it a piece of government for the Empire itself, and not for the people.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are a total of 51 Senators, excluding the Imperator. The Senator can be changed and chosen at any time according to the whims of those doing the choosing. However, unless a Senator is viewed as lacking in work ethic over a long period of time, they are never forcefully removed from their office.
| | ===Battleteams=== |
| | Until early 37 ABY, Imperium had been made up of two Battleteams, Krennic and Pellaeon. They were disbanded after the battles for Merisian and the Kiera Run. Now the House is unified as one with members now and then selected or volunteered for task force missions. |
|
| |
|
| ===Imperial Resource Center=== | | ===Battleteam Krennic=== |
| The Imperial Resource Center envisions the scientific and economic activities of the Clan while controlling how the citizens think and what history remains relevant to the Empire. Their offices are based on the southern shores of the March Isles. They also run the Imperial census done on a yearly basis and are in charge of making things run smoothly throughout the Empire. Changes in the census, as well as economic and scientific changes, are sent to both the Imperator and Grand Admiral, but first go through the Chief of Operations, for whom controls the IReC. Although many departments report daily to the Chief of Operations, four main departments rise out of the IReC.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====Center for Economics and Imperial Development==== | | ===[[Battleteam Pellaeon]]=== |
| The CEID is a department where main economic development and trade occurs to and from the Clan. Much of their work is divided into a Theory Division and Planning Division, with smaller, less impactful Divisions coming now and again. The Theory Division (headed by the Lead Statistician) oversees the economic theories and data that is incoming, as well as information of internal and external trade, and attempts to create practical models from such statistics and data. The Planning Division (headed by the Lead Architect) oversees the practical and realistic construction of trade policy and implementation, as well as the architectural construction of buildings, and the overseeing of work forces and duties. It is this flow between both divisions that allows them to extend the Empire's reach into other systems and sectors of the galaxy.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Chief of Operations leads the divisions to the appropriate work places and places of need within the Empire.
| | Battleteam Pellaeon is part of the military intelligence arm of House Imperium. Officially, members of Pellaeon source and evaluate potential threats to the house through use of covert operations and intelligence gathering. Unofficially, members have been suspected of much more proactive "assignments" against the enemies of House Imperium. |
|
| |
|
| ====Society of Imperial Research and Development==== | | ===Imperial Cult=== |
| The SIRD is a department which maintains the scientific study and usefulness of the Empire. The SIRD is divided into five major divisions and is made up of smaller divisions within those divisions not independent of each other. The Engineering Division (headed by the Engineer General) is where all the engineering strategy goes on. People work on typical engineering problems and help the Empire gain new knowledge on how systems work and how to build things. The Medical Division (headed by the Surgeon General) is where all the latest medical and biological advances stem from. They work tirelessly to bring about the death of disease and the prolonging of life for the citizens and the Emperor. The Social Division (headed by the Sentient General) is in charge of the soft sciences and the humanities. They are dependent more on theory and philosophy than much else, but they do help maintain higher academic standards in the Empire. They also help the Chief Administrator with education material in the Imperial Academy of Judecca. The Science Division (headed by the Scientific General) focuses on the other average sciences outside of engineering, medicine, and academia. They strain the bridge between dream and reality by working tirelessly to prove the bounds (or unbounding) of our universe. The Computers and Robotics Division (headed by the Intelligence General) focuses on droids, Artificial Intelligence, cybernetics, computers, and programming. With advancements in computers, the Empire has grown to dominate much of the galaxy in robotic development, using mainly robotic work forces to construct their building, repair their infrastructure, and defend their software.
| |
| | |
| These divisions working together help bring forth the scientific superiority of the Eternal Cocytus Empire. The Chief of Operations works with each division head to make sure the work is secure and proper.
| |
| | |
| ====Imperial News Agency====
| |
| The INA is home to the news service that broadcasts throughout the Cocytus Empire. Owning all waves of communication, the INA works through the military communication tech to deliver the voice of the Emperor and his summit to the ears of the people. Reporters, journalists, writers, and designers work tirelessly to bring forth a pro-Imperial message in a galaxy filled with anti-Imperial propaganda. They also work with foreign embassies on delivering news from outside the Empire. The Chief of Operations works with the Minister of Propaganda and Minister of Loyalty to keep the citizens of the Empire in good faith of their Emperor.
| |
| | |
| ====Center of History and Artifacts====
| |
| The CHA is the place where the historical, archival, and important objects of the Empire are kept. With the Empire having a long and drawn out history with many artifacts, stories, and objects owing to different levels of positive and negative outcomes within the Clan, the CHA aids in the keeping of historical accuracy to what vision the Empire desires going forward. The Chief Librarian, along with two Charges, keeps the record safe and well-taken care of. They submit a report to the Chief of Operations on the daily upkeep and changes within the CHA itself.
| |
| | |
| ===Imperial Academy of Judecca===
| |
| The Imperial Academy of Judecca, or ImpAc, is the central place of learning within the Cocytus System. It also functions as the primary academy of Judecca, along with branch campuses all over the Empire itself. ImpAc is located in the center of the Marsh Isles and stretches onto the east and west coasts of the island. The head of the academy is the Chief Administrator. The Chief Administrator of ImpAc is also the Battleteam Leader of Shadow Guard (House Imperium's battleteam). Every day, the Chief Administrator meets with the head of every academy department to understand the direction of the academy. The Chief Admin also has a daily security update from the members of Shadow Guard.
| |
| | |
| ====Military Academy====
| |
| The Military Academy is for soldiers, police, and other such military personnel. With new soldiers needing to be replenished annually, and the daily population needing basic military training, this program is by far the largest. Special personnel are sometimes trained to do special things here. Whether you are part of an artillery regiment, soldier battalion, or logistics personnel, one goes through this academy. The War Administrator leads the Military Academy.
| |
| | |
| =====ISI Shadow Recruit Program=====
| |
| The Intelligence Administrator, working under the War Administrator, picks new recruits for the Imperial Scholae Intelligence Shadow Recruitment Program. These recruits are sent off to secret facilities for alternate training on differing subjects and then placed back into various random parts of the ImpAc.
| |
| | |
| ====Flight Academy====
| |
| Some students see their careers forming in freight, starfighters, or large transports instead of fighting on the ground. This is where the Flight Academy, lead by the Flight Administrator, comes in. They select candidates for the flight school who go off to train in space, on ships, and in atmospheric exercises. Graduates of the flight academy go on to perform differing duties within the Empire involving their newly acquired flight skills.
| |
| | |
| ====Administrative Studies Program====
| |
| The Eternal Cocytus Empire is run by a massive bureaucracy, and although most of the positions can be trained and fulfilled on site, trainers themselves must go through a rigorous program of indoctrination and tutelage in order to become beacons of Imperialization in their work places. The Secretarial Administrator leads the Administrative Studies Program, giving citizens or those already in the workforce the ability to go above and beyond in their respective duties.
| |
| | |
| ====Science and Engineering Program====
| |
| The Science and Engineering Program, lead by the Particle Administrator, has recruits going into the fields of science to eventually work in organizations such as SIRD and CEID. But before they do so, they need the skills to accomplish this. The program helps them discover what it means to be a scientist in the Empire, and opens up doorways for them they could never think imaginable.
| |
| | |
| ====Diplomatic Studies====
| |
| The Diplomatic Studies program is an educational program centered around studying trade, economics, and negotiations, as well as intercultural and interplanetary studies. The rooms of specialized diplomats the Eternal Cocytus Empire employs all came from the Diplomatic Studies program in ImpAc. Lead by the Cultural Administrator, the studies program is open to only specifically chosen members of the population, and a few through a rigorous application process.
| |
| | |
| ====Academy of Fine Arts====
| |
| The Art Administrator works alongside specific students to create Imperial art and propaganda for the Empire. The Academy of Fine Arts is an almost permanent program of membership. Members can eventually go onto work in other fields, but mostly through design and architectural fields, or through the INA. Artists in the Academy of Fine Arts usually live both rigorously Imperialistic lifestyles balanced by lavish luxury and vice. This allows them both to perfect their visions for a cultured and artistic Empire, while maintaining the roots for those juices to flow.

| House Imperium controls the [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/items/47031 Judecca Guard Battalion], composed of three line companies and a heavy armor company. They protect [[Judecca]] at all costs and serve across the planet in times of war and peace.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Shadow Guard===
| | Raider I-class corvette (name) |
| [[Shadow Guard]] was created by Imperator [[Kell Dante|Dante]] as a way of allowing the secretive threats to the House to be destroyed swiftly and silently. The team is currently lead by [[Jurden Krennel]].

|
| |
|
| | Raider I-class corvette (name) |
|
| |
|
| ==Economics==
| | Quasar Fire-class Cruiser Carrier (name) |
| ===Exports===
| |
| The main exports of the [[Scholae Palatinae|Cocytus Empire]] are research (mostly scientific), technology (non-military tech), and manufacturing (leasing their services to corporations and other organizations).
| |
|
| |
|
| As for physical trade differing planets offer differing results:
| | -Defender squadron (name) |
|

|
| *Metals: Asteroid Belt, Vassago
| | -Bomber squadron (name) |
| *Minerals: Caina, Aesirius, Vassago
| |

| |
|
| |
|
| Imports are classified unless you are a reliable trading partner with the Cocytus Empire.
| | -Interceptor squadron (name) |
|
| |
|
| ===Contracts===
| | -Advanced squadron (name) |
| Contracts and trading partners make up the majority of the economic necessities of the Empire. While the Empire could remain independent for a short period of time, they eventually would require some outside help. Hence their contracts.
| |
|
| |
|
| The primary contract is with the Iron Throne. Mutually, they provide military assistance, resources, and similar cultural influences with each other. Through the Iron Throne, the Cocytus System also accesses a plethora of other contracts that remain mostly hidden to the majority of the population.
| | Lambda Shuttles (name) |
|
| |
|
| Secondary contracts exist with [[Excidium|Icon Security Services]] and the [[starwars:Hutt Cartel|Hutt Cartel]]. While ISS provides security services, contracts, and business, and Hutt Cartel provides much needed experimental and slightly illegal resources needed for harvesting and invention.
| | Troop Carriers (name) |
|
| |
|
| Tertiary contracts exist through local systems and services and also through the Dlarit Corporation. However, the Dlarit Corporation hasn’t been active as of late, and thus it is unknown whether trade would resume between the two.
| | Exploration Transport (Sovereign) |

| ==Imperial Ideology==
| | Command Center Transport (Kraken) |
| Within the Empire, House Imperium is charged with maintaining the exact specifications of what it means to be an "Imperial" and how "Imperialism" is defined. It isn't enough to simply follow the orders of the Emperor, Grand Vizier, Grand Admiral, Imperator, and Executor. The philosophy and reality has to be defined and propagated further for the citizens and leaders to understand and follow. Over time, different leaders both historical and now have carved out the statue of Imperial ideology. The Eternal Cocytus Empire wishes to replicate what made the Galactic Empire so great, without the flaws and failings that brought out its destruction. The Imperator along with Dek Ironius II, a follower and intellect within the Empire, has helped create this document reporting on the potential changes to the ideology to keep in grounded in reality.

| ===Culture: Imperial Imperative===
| | Drop Company (survival and scouting unit) |
| The Imperial Imperative is an dictate which states the necessity to add and expand to the culture of the Empire. Xenophobia and cultural dissolution destroys Empires. Much like evolution, mixing and adding sophistication and culture to the Empire brings about improved ways of doing things. Make no mistake, this does not mean that ideas are let about to run loosely. But an objective and academic examination of outside culture is allowed, while religious practices and cultural differences are also allowed to be practice under the allowance of the Emperor. Within this, the Empire allows different races and species to join, seeing them as worthy followers of great ways, adding the best of all worlds to the authority of the Empire.

|
| ===Governance: Broken Chain Theory===
| | Mission |
| This is the reality of the Empire. Before, democracy was viewed as an evil because Empire's weren't free. Broken Chain Theory assaults that bogus mentality. Freedom can only be realized from the protection of a higher power (such as an Emperor). Where democracy has ruled, corruption and chaos bring about change, destroying lives, and allowing people to live in a corrupt state of fear. Within the Empire, democracy isn't stamped out. The people don't wish it to exist. They have more freedom under the Eternal Cocytus Empire than they have had under any system and thus support the rejection of such values as democracy. If one wishes to excel to a certain point, they have the ability to do so. Those who are physically limited are given implants and cybernetics to improve them to achieve their highest ability. People are limited only by their drives, and thus with the Emperor safe guarding their existence, they can thrive as freely as they desire.
| |
| | |
| ===Economics: Neo Expansionism===
| |
| Expanding for expanding sake is no longer done. The Empire does not wish to spread itself too thin. It takes what it needs and desires equally while taking economics and military into account. Efforts are made to culturally and ideologically expand into territories before militaries are sent in. This is to ensure that the population supports the conquering of their society. Once the people realize the superiority of the Empire in all things, then they come to want it. Occasionally, people have attempted to overthrow their governments in order to gain the wish to join the Empire. Ultimately, the Empire chooses its battles more wisely when it wishes to conquer more planets and people.
| |
| | |
| ===Society: Cog Helix===
| |
| This is a practice of two types: 1) a person is a cog in a society, working inside a massive machine of power, ideology, and destruction if need be, 2) in each person are many cogs that work to improve the self over all other versions of the self. Citizens of the Empire need to work on improving themselves at all times. They need to improve their cognition and workability, and in doing so they improve their own position and improve the work that they do. This mindset is taught from a very young age into the children of the Empire, and the indoctrination centers throughout the Empire for outside citizens.

| ==Understanding Imperium==
| |
| The brother house of Imperium, infamously known as Excidium, are allies in all but the term. While there are members in Imperium who enforce the law, battle on the front lines, negotiate through the deadliest of courts, and analyse limitless amounts of data and lore, they still abide by the Emperor’s will. Excidium’s careless nature to breaking and violating the Emperor’s regulations, give enough evidence to Shadow Guard and the Imperator himself, that Excidium should be kept at arm’s length. However, their aptitude for manipulation and their expert abilities in several shady skills, make them a keystone in the success of the Empire's vision. Loyalty is still a vital currency in their trade, but their detachment from the Empire casts some internal doubt on their loyalty. The relationship between the Imperator and Executor is fragile, at the best of times.

However, their aptitude for manipulation and their expert skills in infallible interrogation techniques, make them a keystone in the success of the Emperor’s vision. Loyalty is still a vital currency in their trade, but the price for being disloyal to Imperium isn’t expensive. The Imperator knows this. It is also the Imperator’s duty to keep the identities of the deadly Tacitus Athanasius a secret. As well as the Executor’s headquarters, the Imperator keeps their greatest weakness behind impenetrable vaults.

| The stewards of Clan Naga Sadow were long time allies for years to Clan Scholae Palatinae, and when Imperium was created, Kell Dante continued this tradition in the house. However, when Shattered Ties happened the Proconsul Cyris Oscura broke that treaty, the members of Imperium were forced to reconsider their allies. They defended themselves on the battlefield against all Sadowan forces, even those without the Force as their weapon. When the dust settled and the two forces retreated to their homeworlds, there was worry and concern about a Sadowan retaliation. Through frail and careful methods, current Imperium politicians, including the Imperator, continue to heal the tension and neutrality through negotiations. It is the duty of the Imperator to keep this sacred method of negotiations a secret.

| ===Imperator’s Vision===
| |
| When House Imeprium was first formed under the guidance and support of Kell Dante and his first Aedile Talon Jade, the two had a goal of uniting a diverse and powerful government. They pursued the goal of providing a safe and secure society for all Force Sensitive users inside the House, while utilising the Emperor’s funding for expansion. Using their wealth, Kell and his Aediles in the future began to construct the largest training facility for military use, both in the army and the navy. They helped to expand the facility uses into space, by re-opening the space station called IMS Tipoca II. Kell and his Aedile Lexiconus, created a station to heal the injured soldiers and civilians, as well as the biggest medical training facility in the Clan’s history.

|
| |
| When Lexiconus ascended to the Imperator position, he continued this tradition of upgrading and providing the best military training for the Clan. He expanded the facility across the various sections of the March Isles, in order to create departments of navy, army and Force Sensitive training faculties. The Imperator also began a movement to reconnect with Excidium and Naga Sadow, to negotiate peace terms, trade regulations and other concealed affairs to strengthen the Clan’s resources

Imperium is currently in devotion to keeping the Empire safe, exploring the reaches of the Empire, and securing knowledge and artifacts for the Empire to utilize in the future at the behest of the Emperor.
History
The First Age Period
Imperium was created during Emperor Xen’s reign, with Kell Dante at the helm as Imperator (Quaestor of House Imperium). The House existed primarily as a mode for the Emperor to signify and enact his will, with Imperium controlling the ground forces and allowing the leaders of the Empire to work through the bureaucracy of an empire. Over time, Imperium would become known as the center of all things related to the Empire, whether it was the Imperial holonews, the training academies, the background work, and scientific research.
Imperium’s might would be tested against pirates who would plan a joint attack against Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Naga Sadow. It was after this attack that Kell Dante orchestrated the creation of Imperium’s first battleteam: Shadow Guard. Shadow Guard protected the Imperator, the Aedile, and other notable House members, as well as performed stealth attacks, and first strikes.
During the Forgotten Campaign, Kell Dante lead the House in a great battle against the Pacre Datship followers and their false Emperor. With the Judeccan Abyssal eventually attacking Ohmen, Lexiconus took it upon himself to head off the destruction of the monster. In the eyes of the Emperor and the stepping down of Kell Dante as Imperator, Lexiconus took on the face of leader of the House.
Lexiconus reformed the House into a group to be reckoned with. When the Emperor tested both of the Clan’s Houses against each other, Imperium became the victor. This work continued into an age of false cooperation between Clan Scholae Palatinae and Clan Naga Sadow. Vowing revenge against the pirates that had attacked them and stolen Sith artifacts from them, they launched an attack that soon divided them into who would obtain which artifacts. Although the outcome was victorious for House Imperium and Excidium, the Iron Throne soon picked all the artifacts from the Clan.
The Iron Throne eventually came back for more, and decided to burn through the Cocytus System and Judecca. In the aftermath, Imperium was homeless and aided in the finding of a new home.
The Lost Period
Dek Ironius II was made battleteam leader of Shadow Guard for a short time. During this time, he had attempted to help Clan Scholae Palatinae find a new home. He eventually stumbled on a planet with a group of clans who called themselves the Moldates: brutal warriors fighting for land all over their system. It was during this time, most of Shadow Guard had been killed, and Dek along with the few remaining members had escaped with their lives. Dek soon returned to Imperium, taking some soldiers and some ships and equipment with him to fight the Moldates.
During the search for a new home, Jurdan Krennel, Shadow Guard’s former leader, had supposedly been captured, and Lexiconus thought dead. During this time, Kell Dante retook power of Imperium and attempted to find out who had caused the attack. While most of Imperium’s leaders took aim at Clan Naga Sadow, Kell thought that the Moldates or another enemy may have been responsible. His words were proven true when an assassin Ulfsark had found was chased to Moldren 11, a planet that Dek and his faction of Imperium were currently attacking.
It was during this operation that it was found out the Moldates used nuclear technology to fight their enemies. Dek was summoned by Kell, along with Calindra to an Imperium war center. There they planned the battle of Moldren 11. They attacks were successful. But Dek planted orders counter to what Calindra and Kell had wanted, placing him into prison. Calindra became head of a new battleteam devoted to intelligence and strategy: battleteam Pallaeon. While Wagglehorn, who lead one of the ground attacks, became battleteam leader of a team devoted to military and war: battleteam Krennic.
It was discovered soon that Kell already had Lexiconus safe in a bacta tank. Upon healing, Lexiconus promoted Dek to Aedile in a sign of solidarity. But Dek had used this time to gain allies; such as Bridge Commander Arthur McElroy, ace pilot Alphus Centaurus, and a hidden friend, Nyx Noxium.
Skirmishes with the Moldates pressed on, but when the Caperion System was found and made the place of Imperium’s future home, new orders came in. Not only did a new Empress come into power, but Raiju, a newcomer, was eventually made head of the House. During his reign he oversaw Imperium solidify it’s base on a plethora of ships, but focused on Caelestis City on Ragnath. He also oversaw House Imperium through its war with The Collective.
The Revolution Period
Eventually, Raiju would become the new Proconsul of the Clan, with Dek replacing him. Dek would bring in new reforms on how the House worked, detaching it from the central Clan authority that it had always occupied. He used his allies to gain a new foothold in the House and focused on three major strategies: exploration, battle, and knowledge. He made Darth Aeternus his Aedile, Reiden leader of battleteam Krennic, and Wagglehorn leader of battleteam Pallaeon.
With this new image, Dek attempted to rally his House to fight off a new enemy with new connections to Excidium’s enemies as well as the Moldates. Dek wanted to end the Moldate conflict once and for all.
Organization
Battleteams
Until early 37 ABY, Imperium had been made up of two Battleteams, Krennic and Pellaeon. They were disbanded after the battles for Merisian and the Kiera Run. Now the House is unified as one with members now and then selected or volunteered for task force missions.
Battleteam Krennic
Battleteam Pellaeon is part of the military intelligence arm of House Imperium. Officially, members of Pellaeon source and evaluate potential threats to the house through use of covert operations and intelligence gathering. Unofficially, members have been suspected of much more proactive "assignments" against the enemies of House Imperium.
