The Sith:
The Sith Order, General Overview:
The Sith are a group of highly trained individuals who's goal is to help the emperor govern the empire and fight the Empire's wars. The Sith are trained from birth to become the best the empire has to offer in leadership and battle skills. The Sith order was formed under direct orders from Emperor Darium Oberan in the year 402 after the last regents revolt, to make sure no more regents ever revolted. The Sith Overlord of the order also gains the title of Imperial Regent to the Empire.

The Sith Order, Purpose:
The purpose of the Sith is to help lead the empire in all area's. From the day they are born these children have been "gifted" to the order and have been trained in its ways to become leaders.

The Sith Order, Ideals:
The Sith believe that the darkness will always win, the light will return but always it fades and eventually it will burn out leaving only darkness and so they embrace it. They see the light and goodness people strive for as a weakness, to survive one must fight for themselves but not at the expense of the Empire or its people but at the expense of the Empire's enemies. They are solely devoted to routing out the empires enemies internally and externally, they believe combat to be the true form of power and they continually train in the lightsaber arts from when they are a child to their death. Their reactions are unbeatable, they can almost predict an enemy's move before it is preformed due to the training they have had in judging the body language and movements of a person. It has been said that some of the more adept Sith can even deflect blaster bolts. Each member of the dark council is entitled to use the title "Darth" to show their superiority over other sith lords.They also believe that technology is the future and embrace it, any time they are wounded they do not regrow the original body part using the glorified Bacta but replace it with an artificial mechanical limb. All sith that are not part of the dark council must also wear face masks, some of the dark council even though they are free from there duty to wear the mask still do. Each mask is crafted to fit the user and offer the best it can to the user. Some sith have used technology and bioengineering to change the very essence of what species they are.

The Sith Order, The Dark Council:
The Dark Council is made up of the most powerful Sith Lords that hold critical positions within the Empire. The council is made up of twelve members, the Dark Lord of the Sith is the leader of Dark Council. The Dark Council is made up of the following members:
  • Lord Plagueis
    Darth Malack
    Darth Angral
    Darth Malgus
    Darth Marr
    Darth Baras
    Darth Kaan
    Darth Cognus

Imperial History:
Chapter I - The Old World
The Great Imperial Archives tells great tales of the Imperial Homeland, a once beautiful lush world with a thriving economy and a happy people. The homeworld was called Serapis of the Kut system. The archives tell of a great plague that attacked the planet and its people, causing them to make objects of mad designs and wear clothes of absurdity, the result was the collapse of civilisation on the planet.

Chapter II - The Journey
Some of the people banded together in the remains of their once glorious home world calling themselves the Imperials, a sea of calm in an otherwise hostile and mad world. The survivors then heard that the infected were starting to make ships to colonise and expand into the galaxy. To survive the survivors bought some of these ships and fled the planet into the unknowns of space.

Chapter III - The New World
After one hundred years of cryogenic sleep and being propelled through space the survivors awoke above the planet Arabold. A green and glorious planet with no need to be serapaformed, it was a saviour for the survivors. They finally had a home again where they could rebuild their civilisation away from the infected threat. The new world of arabold had all the necessary raw materials and planets needed to rebuild and expand the population from two hundred thousand to a the old population levels of the homeworld.

Chapter IV - Formation of the Empire
In the year one hundred and one arabold was proclaimed the imperial homeworld, the system the Imperial Center and the sector the Imperial Sector by the then emperor Gourh Oberan. That same day the Oberan line was declared as being the family name of all emperors. Emperor Gourh Oberan was one of the great Oberan emperors, under his rule the planet arabold was tamed and city's soon began to arise from this primitive land. Huge planned industrial and civilian centers began to appear to house and work the people. By the year two hundred the planets population had passed six million. (This will be expanded over time)

Chapter V - Expansion
By the year three hundred and twenty the Imperial citizen count showed that the empire's population had reached over four billion. The direct order from the first emperor Gourh Oberan that was written in the Imperial records was that once the planets population had reached four billion the Empire should expand to the star's and one day reclaim the original homeworld from the Infected. The then empress Morga Oberan was already one step ahead, all her imperial life she had devoted a great amount of time and resources to developing fast and effective space travel. The Imperial Fleet had already two outposts on other planets in the system due to this new technology that was being made. Sublight speeds for ships had reached great new length's and ships could reach the other end of the system in hours instead of what used to be years.

By the year three hundred and eighty their were colonies on two of the other planets in system, large mining operations on the asteroid belt that surrounded the system and a huge shipyard being constructed above arabold.

Chapter VI - The Great Journey
In the year three hundred and eighty nine a ship appeared in system. It was unmarked and showed no resemblance to any imperial ship. The Imperial fleet was scrambled to intercept and find out more information on the ship. The ship was of an odd design with protruding bits that moved. The ship was hailed and told to stop and prepare to be boarded, it was a hoped that they wouldn't understand and the fleet admiral would have the honour of being the very first to destroy an enemy ship in space. To the admirals surprise and dismay it understood and stooped. The Fleet flag ship prepared to board the unknown ship, once the doors were opened and the troopers got a look at what was on the other side they immediately closed the blast doors. They com'd the admiral and started raving about the infected.

The ship's captain came up with the idea of giving the troop's a space walking suit to use in-side the infected ship. This was the birth of the storm trooper armour and the troop type name. Soon the entire fleet's space walking suits were commandeered and worn by a contingent of the newly dubbed "Storm Troopers". Word came from the Empress to purge the ship of the infected and to take the ship back to Arabold. As soon as the blast door's were re-opened the storm troopers started firing, the infected never stood a chance. The ship's occupants once dead were burned to prevent the infection escaping and spreading. The ship was then placed in the cargo hold of the main flag ship and quarantined.

By the year three hundred and ninety five the hyper-drive had been reverse engineered from the infected model to more Imperial standards and placed on an Imperial War fleet. The co-ordinate's of this infected colony's home world was also taken from the ship. The new Emperor Darium Oberan ordered the destruction and purification of the their home world, it would then be settled by the Empire as a new Imperial Province. The Imperial battle fleet entered hyperspace and exited above this infected colony's home world.
Chapter VII - The Great Purge
They had no military fleet only small commercial ships. All were fired upon and destroyed no trace of the infection would remain on this planet. Once orbit was cleared the of the infected ships the ground assault began with the imperial fleet bombarding the city's, meanwhile huge numbers of the newly designated storm trooper corps were shuttled to the surface in their new bio hazard armour. Any infected found on the surface were shot on sight, men women and children were all killed. No remorse was shown from the storm troopers as they were completely loyal to the emperor and his orders were to exterminate and so they did, ruthlessly and efficiently.

Some of the infected survived and hid underground in the old tunnels, their they preserved what they could of their culture and formed a resistance movement. The same happened on the other two infected planet's in the system.

Chapter VIII - Formation of the Union
By the year four hundred and twenty the first Imperial settlers had began to colonise the new Imperial Province after the air of the planets had been deemed clear of infection. A councillor was appointed by the emperor to rule over the system and bring Imperial the imperial might against the last of the infected strongholds. With the appointment of a councillor the Emperor deemed it fit to bestow the name Imperial Union on the empire.

The year is now five hundred and the system's infected still have not been defeated, apart from a few Imperial settlements on the surface the planet's that once housed the infected are scared and ruined city's with the infected roaming the tunnels.

Imperial Economy:
The Imperial Economy is not based on fully fledged capitalism, the Imperial Government does have a large degree of control, but their is a large enough degree of freedom to allow entrepreneurs to flourish but not at the expense of the Imperial people. The government has a degree of state ownership in all business's and company's but the company itself is allowed to make its own choices as long as they do not break Imperial Laws. The empire favours heavy industry such as strip mining and huge industrial complexes. The empire has taken steps in recent years to band all the same types of industry under a single banner, this is shown in the fact that this has been a success as under the name of the Imperial Armoury.

Imperial Arms:
Imperial Arms is the joining of all light weapons manufacturers and state training facilities. This is to allow the better training of troop's with newer company weapons, this also allows the companies to gather information in a simpler manner on how troops react and use different weapons to allow the companies to make these weapons better.

Imperial Vehicle Consortium:
The Imperial Vehicle Consortium is the joining of all heavy weapons vehicle platform manufacturers and state training facilities for these platforms. This is to allow the better training of troop's with newer company weapons, this also allows the companies to gather information in a simpler manner on how troops react and use different weapons to allow the companies to make these weapons better.

But the more recent corporations that have had the initiative to move into production in space have been allowed to retain their separate companies as shown in the following companies.
Rendili StarDrive Products:
Sienar Fleet Systems:
Arabold Drive Yards:


Imperial Engineer Corps:
The Imperial Engineer Corps are the state funded and trained engineers of the Imperial Union. Their job's range from building state funded commerce buildings to huge orbital defence stations. An imperial engineer is trained to work in any condition's whether that be under fire or in a windswept desert, if an engineer is assigned a job they will always get it done.

Imperial Culture:

Overview:
Even before the infection threat forced the Imperial people from their homeworld they were viewed as an entirely different culture. They were mostly sidelined and viewed as a bunch of hard-liner's for their views on culture and how society as a whole was progressing with little if no order at all in their view. When the new culture of "Powerism" came to the forefront the Imperial leaders viewed it as a blight on their people and anybody who adhered to the values of this new culture was an enemy of the Imperial people and was viewed as "Infected".

This infection soon spread across the whole planet and the only area not consumed by the infected were imperial strongholds. Realising that their planet and people were lost to the infected threat Imperial leaders bought a few of the new colony ships. They proclaimed to the imperial people that the new age for the Imperial people lay out in the stars not under the heel of the infected threat always living in terror. Those loyal to the Imperial Cause boarded the ships and set out for a new life. Once arriving above the New Imperial Home-world they soon set out to establish a new life in the pursuit of Imperial glory.

People:
Over the past five hundred years the history of what happened on their original home-planet has been twisted and moulded to keep the Imperial population in line through fear of the infection. If ever word escaped that this was just a culture change for the worse it could result in civil war without end. The Imperial people now whole heartedly believe that the old world and its people have been lost to this infection and that they themselves could get infected by it.

From this fear of the infected comes hard work and dedication from the Imperial people to make sure that the Empire and armies are ready to destroy any infected they encounter. They also work wholeheartedly for the emperor, the glory and expansion of the empire. Any Imperial citizen would gladly give his life to serve the Empire and the Emperor.

Literature:
Imperial literature has always been based around the threat of the infected. From child scare stories to adult scientific papers their is always the common trend of the infected threat being mentioned. The empire has complete control over all holo-projector networks and news-tablets, all information must first pass through the Imperial State Information Department to make sure that the information will not be able to harm the empire, emperor's or Imperial People's interests.

Music:
The Imperial people and their emperor have always enjoyed state recordings of songs that impress the dominance of the empire over infected threat. Below are some recordings from the Imperial state Musical Department:
The Imperial Palace Ambience
The Imperial Armed Forces March
An Imperial Army Marching Tune

Architecture:
Imperial ideals has always focused on the aspect that bigger is better, this is shown in Imperial architecture. The Imperial Palace which is the largest building on the Imperial homeworld has so many rooms it is rumoured that a single person could not enter them all in their lifetime. Older Imperial architecture was more in favour of curves circles but the newer Imperial trend leans more towards corners and straight lines.

This is older architecture is shown by the buildings across from the emperors balcony on the Imperial Palace.
