==The Empire==


==The Dawn Dynasty==
The Empire is an expansive and ancient realm of inhabited worlds and highdwellings that have been united under the Great Charter since the nearly forgotten days of early human interstellar settlement. At its height under the rule of the Norouzi Dynasty, it spanned across known space and extended its reach  into the Deep Beyond and even into the Outside. But that era of glory and power has passed into memory, the endless Long War against the alien Outsiders and the brutal rebellions within its borders have sapped the Empire's strength and eroded its once vast territories. The invincible soldiers and wondrous technologies of the Golden Dynasty are now little more than myths and legends inherited by the remaining inhabitants of its dwindling constellations. <br>
<br>
 
The chance discovery of faster than light travel saw an explosion of human expansion outward from the overcrowded and stagnant Home System as thousands and then millions of early pioneers sought new worlds and new possibilities. Hundreds of systems were charted and dozens of vibrant new colonies were established in the early days of the Dawning. But this bright era was not without its conflicts as more radical and counter-current bands of settlers clashed with their neighbors in increasingly damaging wars as the power of the rising colonists grew more established on the daughter worlds. It seemed as though the mistakes of the Home System would be repeated anew, dooming mankind to an eternity of pointless strife. <br>
But though it has receded from so many regions it once ruled, and lost so much of its past glories and wonders, the Empire is not yet a wholly spent force. What the ruin of the Golden Dynasty left behind, Farzad Kyburg and his better descendants worked to save. Knowledge and even more importantly institutions were preserved and the Great Charter upheld even as the Long War dragged on. The apocalyptic defeat at Mimosa might have been the blow that at last doomed their stubborn rump state, but the Event intervened. And amongst the new arrivals of the Nexus, the Empire is a mighty power. <br>
<br>
 
That outcome did not come to pass. There were many who desired order within the still rapidly expanding space of the Terran Bubble, as well as a more measured pace to its unstructured growth. They found their leader in the planetary rulers of Ardakan, one of the oldest and most powerful colonies. In the wake of the disastrous Sirian Wars that devastated many worlds including the Home System, Ardakan's forces were able to assume control over most of the Bubble and unite the vast majority of humanity under what would become the Norouzi Dynasty and bring the chaotic Dawning to an end. <br>
[[File:Mimosa.png|Defeat at Mimosa|frame]]
<br>
 
The Dynasty's Emperors, assisted and advised by the powerful artificial intelligence network known as Central Control, brought peace and prosperity to the Bubble for generations and oversaw its slow but steady continued expansion outward. That all of this came with sharp controls on the political freedoms of its citizens was generally seen as a small price to pay. The chaos of human history was always emphasized in Norouzi era education. Even the first encounters with the alien Outsiders on the remote fringes were well managed, the mysterious intelligences that would one day become mankind's greatest enemy seemingly retreating before the advance of the Emperor's Immortals. <br>
;The Kyburg Dynasty
<br>
:Founded by Farzad Kyburg after the collapse of the Golden Dynasty's rule, the Kyburg Dynasty has fought against the Empire's decline for all of its existence from the new capital of Sankt Andra. Empress Terzea I took the throne just a few months ago following the untimely death of both Sharpur IV and his heirs.  
But for all the glories of the Dawn Dynasty there were cracks within the system, and as the generations rolled on they began to widen. Political unrest was always a problem, but democratic elements within the population were always carefully suppressed by Central Control's agents. Renegades and rebels on the frontier were never any match for the seemingly invincible Immortals. Other threats proved to be more grievous. The expanded ability and availability of fabricator technology saw increasingly well armed dissidents and radical elements. Outsider sightings grew more numerous on the frontier. All could have been managed, all were with the exception of the Outsiders largely within Central Control and the Dynasty's ability to predict the development of, save for the sudden, unexpected, and above all else rapid emergence of the Psi Factor within the Bubble's general population.<br>
 
<br>
;The Five Ministries
The sudden appearance of espers, some of extreme individual power, within the Bubble threw the Dynasty off balance. It was quickly apparent that the status quo could not survive the existence of superpowered men and women. Control and the Imperial Forces resorted to ever harsher tactics attempting to suppress the psionic threat but found their ability to keep the peace fractured. Other rebels, other dissidents were bolstered and emboldened by the espers and rose up. They came together against steep odds as the First Ouster Movement in a concerted attempt to bring down the Dynasty and shatter its grip on humanity. Ardakan burned, and Central Control destroyed in a year of savagery unseen since the bloody days of the late Dawning. <br>
:The Ministries employ the elite scholar-bureaucrats responsible for the administration of the Empire beyond the local level. They are State and Trade, Information, War, Justice, and Rites and Ceremony. Ministry officials conduct important research, resolve interplanetary disputes, and maintain the web of communication that holds the Empire together. A sixth ministry, Arcanum, was dissolved following the fall of the Golden Dynasty.
<br>
 
==Ousters and Outsiders==
;The Military
<br>
:A wide range of forces are responsible for the Empire's defense, from the warships and marines of the Imperial Navy, the neglected fortifications of Strategic Defense, to the vast ranks of the Ambient Surface Forces and the Dynasty's own Immortals. The quality of these troops varies wildly from formation to formation and between organizations, with the best typically belonging to the Navy and the Immortals.
As the Norouzi Dynasty fought their desperate and doomed defense of their homeworld, other disasters struck. The Outsiders, rarely seen and considered more a curiosity than a threat, moved into the outer frontiers and even into the borders of the Bubble itself. Their twisted crystalline starships fought seemingly random battles with the Imperial Outer Forces and destroyed left whole inhabited worlds in ruins. Perhaps they acted out of seeing weakness in human space, or perhaps on account of some strange timetable of their own devising. In hindsight the latter seems ever more attractive, those first patternless attacks gave no hint as to the depth and power they would reveal in years to come. <br>
 
<br>
;The Planetary Dynasts
With the situation dire and the Norouzi line extinct as their Empire crumbled in the wake of their passing, it seemed that the Ousters would succeed. But in their frantic rush forward to Ardakan they had left huge swathes of territory and vast Imperial Local Forces intact. Farzad Kyburg, Satrap of  Karinthia, rose up to rally these still powerful forces in defense of the Empire and to avenge the destruction of the capital. Whatever Farzad's motives, no matter if they were the duty he professed or the greedy opportunism he was accused of, he was wildly successful and caught the overextended Ousters offguard. The First Ouster Movement was broken and on its corpse Farzad declared the establishment of the Kyburg Dynasty. <br>
:The old nobility, ancient families who rule over various worlds and highdwellings according to the guidelines set out under the Grand Charter. Although many systems are now directly ruled by the Imperial Crown via the Ministries, or even in some extreme cases the Military, just as many are old holder worlds. The Planetary Dynasts form a powerful bloc within the Imperial Diet.  
<br>
 
Farzad the Great succeeded in bringing over 85% of the Bubble back under Imperial rule, most of the remainder was lost to the ever persistent Outsiders as they began what would eventually become the crushing Great Envelopment. But there was little to be seen of the dark days ahead during the high days of Farzad's reign, when it seemed that the old days had returned. The Emperor's Secret Police at last succeeded where Control had failed, successfully promulgating changes into routine prenatal gene-therapies that wrote most of the Psi Factor out of the population. The reformed Immortals and Imperial Fleet hunted Ouster remnants wherever they might be found and reduced the last rebel strongholds to ashes. <br>
==National Stats==
<br>
But it didn't last. Farzad's successors found themselves fighting a losing battle on fronts both external and internal. New Ouster movements, some increasingly bizarre in their ideology and methods, seemed to arise with each passing year no matter how brutally the last were crushed. On the frontier the Outsiders dug in, building their strange constructs and occasionally surging forward to take systems inhabited and uninhabited alike, leaving no survivors in their wake. Efforts by the fleet to push them back never produced more than transient success. And so the generations passed with a pattern of slow and steady decay and decline as the once glorious Bubble eroded. <br>
<br>
The last fifty years have seen the most startling reverses. Emperor Shapur IV's reign saw whole outer regions lost to the Outsiders after a series of disastrous military clashes that brought the Envelopment ever closer to the Imperial Mainland. The Ousters grew more active than ever, hidden cabals working within the Empire as well as heavily armed and almost alien bands striking from outside the remnants of the Bubble. The strange Beyonder Ousters shaped themselves with cybernetics and genetic modification for so long and so far that they scarcely resembled anything human. Perhaps that explained their survival amidst the systems patrolled ever more heavily by the vast Outsider fleets. <br>
<br>
Refugees from the doomed outer systems flowed into the Mainland in ever greater numbers and whole flotillas of military warships abandoned their posts, deserters taking to banditry or even attempting to break through the known Outsider Envelopment and into what perhaps might be safe space beyond in the Deep Unknown. Or according to some rumors, even abandoned humanity itself to seek a place with the Beyonders. <br>
<br>
With the defeat of last year's offensive at Mimosa and into the clouds of Hercyina Silva, the situation reached a breaking point as even the increasingly ruthless efforts of the Imperial Secret Police and Fleet Morale Section seem unable to hold back the tide of internal unrest and societal breakdown. The Archdukes who were left behind amongst the cold dead and broken starships scattered above Mimosa were the last hope of the Empire, and the Emperor was not long in following them after what reports called a sudden illness and rumor declared to be suicide. <br>
<br>
The Empire's remaining forces could do little more to delay the inevitable. Some took that fact with grim resignation, preparing to fight to the last. Others plotted rebellion or treason, seeking salvation with the Ousters or even with the cults declaring their worship of the mysterious Outsiders. Subversive influences within the refugee camps and riot battered cities of the Mainland Worlds were a dime a dozen. <br>
<br>
After the Emperor's death, his third child the Archduchess Tereza took up the duties of the tarnished Iridium Throne. There was little to do but to fight to the last, denying the Dynasty's enemies within and without so long as loyal soldiers remained to protect the dying realm. Escape was impossible, the Outsider envelopment now too old and too strong. Surrender to the Ousters unthinkable.<br>
<br>
But then in an instant the universe changed. <br>
