The largest, oldest, and most powerful state in the Large Magellanic Cloud, its roots are in the first colony ship to arrive in the LMC from the chaos that was consuming the old Earth Empire. Its ability to generate stable interstellar wormholes via the ancient and arcane technology of the Star Forge has allowed it a firm grasp on internal lines of communication and moving forces that remains beyond the capabilities of its competitors.
History
Organizations
- Imperial Navy (The Fleet) - Emerging from the Jardin Wars, the Imperial Navy (and its twin the Army) is the permanent standing military arm of the Empire, which must never be confused with the Phoenix's Starforce or the Imperial Guard. It directs its energies principally towards . Its massive bureaucracy negotiates with the Estates-General whose consent is essential for the various corvees and levies necessary to maintain its authorized strength. Ostensibly apolitical it is one of the most powerful interests groups of the Empire, itself equal to any of the major houses.

- Phoenix Starforce - Where the Imperial Navy and Army are the arms of the Empire, Starforce is meant to be the popular muster of the nobility as the Phoenix's private volunteer army. Overseen somewhat loosely by the Household Registry and the Phoenix's appointed Marshal, its strength is constantly fluctuating as new formations are constantly being raised and others disbanded. As it provides the largest share by far of the Empire's Cavalry units, unfairly or not, it has become associated with the stereotype of noble warriors out for adventure and glory in former League Space and the Rift.
- Imperial Guard - Many institutions and protect the Pheonix in its various aspects. Of all of them the Imperial Guard alone cares only for the safety of the Phoenix the actual, living person and their family. Not the Pheonix as its abstract body the state, nor its soul, nor its interests abroad, their only task is safety of the fragile human body that is the Pheonix. They operate as the personal army of the Pheonix on the battlefield, as open inspectors, or as secret investigators if need be. Answering only to the Phoenix their powers are broad and nigh on unrestricted.
