The ImperiumThis is about the great guild “The Imperium” whose empire once stretched across the starry sky. At some point before this age and recorded history a group of small empires in A42 came together to form a coalition to protect themselves against guilds who would farm them into nothingness.

Twelve kilometers of bristling photon turrets and jam-packed hangers, but the closest thing to tea in the stocks was a weakly caffeinated powdered shrub-bark taken on from the last friendly jump gate hub. Supposedly "authentically roasted", it went down unsatisfyingly with the acrid smell of burnt plastic. Admiral Laguear counted himself somewhat lucky that he took his tea hot enough that he wouldn't have to find out what it tastes like. He jabbed a well worn chew-stick in his mouth to try to head off any aftertaste, and leaned back in his command seat.…
