Early Life
Raised in and out of the Imperial court for various periods, he was educated by his great-granduncle, Duke Suriyth Tharn Allech-Atreus, on the planet Gish. At the age of 15 he was given a new identity and sent to the Imperial University on Bibliotecos to continue his studies. His new identity was tempered with an Imperial Order stripping him of his rights and privileges as an Imperial family member, a move calculated by the Duke to give him a sense of equality and humility.
Fleet Commission
On his 23rd birthday, after graduating from the University, he enlisted in the Imperial Fleet, being assigned to the Foundry Ship Rugh In Juy as a thar (midshipman). He spent 5 years working on the Rugh In Juy, progressing through the ranks before he was promoted to Captain (Regh). His ship was the Yutaman, a lower-class attack frigate. He gained distinction on the Yutaman when he captured a band of pirates raiding arund Casca and seized their commander.
After three more years on the Yutaman, he was promoted to Admiral and given command of the Ruhzam, an older Bargyzash-class ship. Two years later, he was involved in the Rengazii uprising under the command of Lord Admiral Duamuh, and as a result was given the rank of Lord Admiral.
Nobility
After ten years in the Fleet, he was called back by his father. Returning to Imperia Prime as royalty for the first since age 15, he was recieved in state by his father and the entire royal court, dressed in his Fleet uniform, and was revealed to the Empire as the son of the Emperor and Crown Prince.
Ascension to the Throne
The Emperor's life until that point had closely resembled that of Emperor Allech-Atreus VII, who was raised in a similar manner. Holding true to history, the Emperor appointed his son Grand Duke of Imperia Prime ( a title not held since Allech-Atreus XVII, and before him Askar Sivarik). The Crown Prince reigned as Grand Duke for 5 years, until his fahter died suddenly. He was accepted into the Imperial Palace and oversaw the funeral ceremonies, inaugurated the funereal festival, and according to Imperial principal, was crowned Emperor in the ancient Temple of the Sapphire after a week of mourning. He inaugurated a week of holiday across the Empire following his coronation, and immediatly declared a "Year of No Tax."
In his first year of rule, Emperor Allech-Atreux XVI married Kitana Lakarik, a noble descendant of the Lakarik Emperors, refurbished mouldering military hardware, removed economic barriers and regulations, replaced corrupt Imperial governors, resat the Chamber of Regents, rejuvenated the sagging Agundan, and appointed new Grand Admirals.
Withing the next seven years, he had changed the political landscape of the Empire. His father had faced significant enmity from the Chamber of Regents in the form of the Ortun Bloc, which Allech-Atreus XVI eviscerated by reshaping the Regent's electoral settings, cutting the Ortun Regents out whenever possible. He built strong connections with the Nation-States UN, albeit secretly, and successfully gained the Delegateship of the Union of Independent Nations for Allech-Atreus.
In his 12th year, he proclaimed that amnesty would be offered for all pirates and criminals that turned themselves in, as well as pouring personal funds into the Grand Danbian Library and the University of Bibliotecos. He gave official state protection to the Taam In Phar, effectively creating a national religion, and fathered a son, Prince Hashal Kumra XV. His reign has been peaceful since then, with minor developments. His reign is generally considered to be a "Golden Age" of the Empire.
Modern Day
During the current year of his reign, the Emperor has brought Allech-Atreus into the NSO, UN DEFCON, and has strengthened the Empire further by cementing ties with Tangallamarnay. He has also sent delegations to the Beldani Combine and the Zurrian Empire, and has strengthened the border zones with Dakash.
