A larger corporate division that was recently granted some automony from Dynastic International. The strange aspect about Dynastic International is that one division can in fact buy out another division as the free market wills. Imperial Networks has thrived on its own branching into industry and high-tech involvement rather than raw-material production. As a result, Imperial Networks on its own has become a mega-company in its own right. Legislation to seperate Imperial Networks from Dynastic International brought on extreme protests from Dynastic International investors who feared that taking Imperial Networks out of Dynastic International, would cause their flourishing stock prices to plummet, however that never happened.

Imperial Networks has split from Dynastic International but still maintains close relationships, due to the fact that both companies were once linked. Exclusive contracts that existed before the division are still valid, so Imperial Networks still has many lucrative and exclusive contracts with Dynastic International.
