Yeah.. this thread is probably in the wrong place, but ohwell, this forum is set up.. weird.
Assorted details and background information for an RP I will soon be launching.
**Information from this Archive post will be useful, and needed, to anyone who wishes to be part of my RP** This RP will be called 'The 4th Imperium' it is a scifi RP and is heavily influenced by WH40K. This information posted here can and hopefully will be used in a serious of RPs I have planned. No information from the actual plot(s) is listed here, nore will the RP take place here. Those interested
can post there character bios here for later use.
My RPs will be located in the 'Serous RP' board. And I expect the following:
-No one liners, small sentences, or short paragraphs, a serous RP is well, serous. Please post in paragraphs. (ie, 2 paragraph minimum)
-No use of non-cannon information. Please don't make up unrelated information, or deviate from listed information, though you are welcome to expand on listed details. (In other words, don't make up new planets, social positions, etc.)
Thats all I ask. Put some effort into your replies, and make use of the Archive information.
------------------------------------
The 4th Imperium is a Galactic empire founded in 3202 by Emperor Varocher Domos III, the last ruler of the 3ed Imperium. Under his rule Furkind officially took its place in the galaxy, for the first time leaving there home star system and spreading to there neighboring star system and setting up a colony there. With this expansion into the galaxy the 4th Imperium was born. Now in 5050 the Imperium is considerably larger consisting of 153 planets in over 30 different star systems divided into 7 sectors. But because of this size other empires and sentient races are starting to encroach upon the Imperium, there is full blown war in 2 out of the 7 sectors. Another sector in visible danger as Alien empires are butted right up against it. The last 4 sectors are in a uneasy peace.
Politics: The Imperium is ruled by a Oligarchical dictatorship. The 7 Sector of the Imperium are ruled each by there own Senatorial Monarch. Each is responsible for their own sector but all answer to the supreme ruler Emperor Varocher Domos xxxii who in all reality has no power except that over the Senatorial Monarchs. Below them both is the Imperum Administratum, politicians and planetary governors whose main purpose is the assessment of planetary tithes: the goods, war materials and Legion regiments each world is regularly required to provide for the Imperium. They are also responsible for the micromanagement and control of each of these worlds. Organizing there growth, formation and overall efficiency. Also part of the government is the Departmento Imperium. The group simply responsible for the colonization of new worlds. These Senatorial Monarchs, the Emperor, the HQ of the Imperum Administratum and the HQ of the Departmento Imperium all reside on the capital world, and the home world of furkind, Tiaoos. (It should be noted that Tiaoos is not a residential planet, but strictly a Government Planet, comparable to a giant government building. Those who reside there work there. Also included there are the Great Imperium Archives, the largest library in the empire)
Military: (see detail post on the Forces of the Imperium for details)
The Military of the Imperium is broken up into 3 branches. The first branch is the Great Fleet of the Imperium, and is in short the Imperium's space navy. The second branch is the Legion, the Imperiums elite ground forces. And last is the Guard Militia, every healthy citizen of the Imperium is formed into militia divisions and assigned a militia role at birth, they live there lives as civilians only forming there pre-determined units in the event that there specific planet is under direct invasion or in a 'crud hits the fan' situation.
Religion: The Imperium officially is a atheist empire, though many many different religions do exist on its different planets, they are monitored by the government. This is done so no crazy cults come to power, or so no religious wars break out inside the Imperium. A branch of the Imperum Administratum, the Administratum Inquisitors are affectivally trying to put down all religion in a semi-peaceful manner. Though not a religion, listed in this section because of there “supernatural abilities†are the Sanctioned Adeptus, average citizens who have some telekinetic or magical powers and are regestered with and have permission of the Imperum Administratum to use them, though it is believed to every 1 Sanctioned Adeptus, there is 3 illegal Adeptus.
Social: There are 3 Main social classes in the Imperium, the Political Class, The Citizen Class and the Military Class. The first class is very strict. The Political Class, in order to get into the political class one must be born into it no acceptations. Then there is the Citizen class. Regardless of a Citizens profession, income or living arrangement they are all seen as equals. Then there is the Military class, possibly the most respectable of the three. Those in the Legion are in for life, they are either born into the Military class, or recruited from the Citizen class, officers on the other hand are recruited from the Political class. There is a special 4th class, usually not listed as it does not fit into any of the following. Servants of the Imperium. This class is very strict, very clandestine and very tightly woven into the Imperium. Made up entirely of unadopted orphans, the Servants of the Imperium are raised by the government. There only goal in life is the betterment, protection of and service to the Imperium. This class includes commissars, inquisitors, government assassins, etc etc, furs key to the continuation of the Imperium.
Forces of the Imperium. Great Fleet of the Imperium:
This fleet is built up of tens of thousands of starships, but only 26 varieties. These varieties are lettered, class A through F are capital ships, Class A and Class B are the primary battleships in the Great Fleet of the Imperium, C,D,E are Heavy Cruisers (Class C capital ships are technically pocket battleship/battle cruisers) Class F capital ships are Heavy Carriers. Class G,H,I,J,K and L warships are Cruisers type ships. Class G and H are light carriers, while Class I, J and K are Combat Cruisers. Class L and class M warships are planetary bombardment frigates. Class N, O, P, Q, R, and S are all Destroyers and Frigates. These make up the bulk of the Great Fleet of the Imperium, T through Y are support ships, be them missle frigates, flack AA ships, munition ships, fuel ships and planetary landing craft. Class Z ships are special. They are large but slow ships, only armed with large planetary assault weapons. Their task is to destroy planets rather then take them over.
The Legion: The Legion is made up of 7 High Armies, these are made up of all the ground forces in one sector. A Sector High Army consists of an Army formed up from each planet, this army is divided into 30 Divisions, each Division is made up of 100 Brigades and each Brigade is made up of 500 Companies.
They are organized in rank as follows.
Lord Commander of the Legion (Commands the entire Legion)
Lord Commander of the Sectors. (Commands 1 of the 7 sectors High Armies)
Lord Imperium (Extremely rare rank, more a mark of honor then military service)
Lord Marshal (Commands Planetary Armies)
Lord General (Commands Individual Planetary Divisions)
General (Commands Individual Brigades)
Commissar-General (Very rare, a Mark of honor for Commissars)
Lieutenant General (Desk Job)
Major General (Desk Job)
Brigadier General (Serves on Tiaoo as a Military advisers to the government)
Colonel-Commissar (Political Commissar in attached to Military unit)
Colonel (Commands Companies)
Lieutenant Colonel (Commands Companies)
Major (Commands platoons)
Captain (Commands platoons)
Lieutenant (Commands platoons)
Sergeant (Commands squads)
legionnaire (foot Soldiers)
The legion has millions of troops in it, they consist primarily of legionnaire. These troops are armed with either laser rifles and pistols, plasma weapons, ion weapons, railguns or sonic weapons (Individual weapons like rifles and Heavy weapons like machine guns and autocannons) they also have assorted power weapons for close combat. i.e electro-swords, Hydraulic claws, energy clubs, and other mechanical weapons. They wear combat armor, mostly consisting of flack vests, some are equipped with plate armor reminiscent of middle age Platemail and others still have powered combat suits. Uniforms vary from planet to planet. The Legion also fields many vehicles, from Tanks, to APCs to Mecs and Anti-grav vehicles. All vary from factory world to factory world. The Imperum Administratum is attempting to refine production to only a few variations.
The Guard Militia is everyone else, no formal training, no formal uniforms. Each planet has several defensive fortifications that contain ammo cashes, warehouses, and depots full of surplus weapons and armor to be provided to every citizens if the need arises. Citizens in rim sectors are urged to have there own weapons at home, to build there own armor and craft improvised fighting vehicles
