The Imperial Race

The Imperial Race is a very aggressive militaristic nation that has been known to fight wars on trivial causes. It is ruled by The Padishah Emperor of the Corrino Line who sits on the Golden Lion Throne. The Military is endless and very well trained. the Original Capital was Salusa Secundus but it was hit by a atomic strike and was made a barren inhospitable place. The Current Capital is Kaitan. This City is filled with monuments to House Corrino (the ruling members of the Empire).

The Imperial Race is an on off UN member. It joins and leaves because of its Distaste of the resolutions being past.

Founding and History

The Imperial Race is a nation that was born of blood. It was at first a nation that was ruled by an Emperor of the Hapsburg line allowing many advances in science and robotics. The Monarchy fell to a Prussian King and soon the nation was involved in a civil war. When the dust had settled The Prussians emerged Victorious and the Hapsburgs where eliminated. The first of many royal families killed. The Prussian Monarchy ruled for several centuries and witnesses the birth of Robotics this lead to the overthrow of the Human Government and the creation of a Robotic Regime controlled by a massive supercomputer called Omnius Evermind in Kaitain. It was 10 centuries dominated by a robotic regime that used the populace as cattle. The Regime fell after a Uprising called the Butlerian Jihad. The Jihad ended after the battle of Corrin. The leader of the Resistance Faykan Butler declared himself Emperor and changed his last name to Corrino to have a bit of history to his name.

From then on the Corrinos ruled The Imperial Race and their lieutenants became nobles. they Built the Landsraad Council Chambers on the remains of the Omnius Evermind and the Corrinos Set up an Imperial palace on Salusa Secundus their home province. They had one Commandment "thou salt not create a machine in the Likeness of Man" This lead to the destruction of many computers and lead to the training of Human Computers called Mentats.

Attack On Salusa Secundus

The Atomic Attack on Salusa Secundus was a attempt to seize power form the Corrinos in 1,487 A.B.J. (After Butlerian Jihad). This attack killed many but the Corrinos escaped. They managed to fight a war useing the newly formed Imperial Sardaukar and Atomic weapons this was when their reputation as warrior fanatics was formed. After a civil war that lasted 10 years costing a total of 10 million lives the Corrinos emerged victorious and The Capital was moved to Kaitan beause Salusa Secundus was a barren atomic wasteland. It became the training ground of the Imperial Saduakar and the most notorious Imperial Prision. The Name of the Offending House is unknown it was eraesed from history as a punishment for their crimes. The Imperial race began a time known as "The Great Purge"

The Great Purge

This was in the Year 1,489 A.B.J.in witch the Corrinos hunted down and killed many nobles attempting to over throw them. it is estimated that 30,000 people died. 100 were convicted of treason. The rest are the Families of the traitors. Not one drop of Traitorous blood is left in the Imperial race.

The Imperial Wars

The Imperial wars began with the bombing of Kaitan In 10,018 A.B.J. This lead to the annihilation of the regime of General Song who planned the attack. This lead to a war Royal Latveria and Nationalist -China- they demanded the release of prisoners of General Song. After a stern no they attacked and attempted to disarm The Imperial Race's atomic arsenal. This failed and led to a massive atomic strike aganist both Nations. This lead to the Annihilation of The Doom Family (rulers of Royal latvera) and Check (Rulers of Nationalist -China-) families

People

The People of the Imperial race are hard working people that follow orders without question and live in a Ultra Capitalistic State. they are free to rise and fall as the please. Service in the Military is considered an Honor. Especially in the Imperial Sardaukar. This is why many parents allow their newborns to be trained to become one of the "Imperial Elite"

It is used to fuel Highliners ( massive freighters that tear a hole in the space time continum and travel to the Intended location in seconds. they cannot land so the relie of Frigates (Transprot aircraft to land the cargo.)) It is said that is can extend life and that it is vital to space travel as it is the source of fuel for the nation's Rockects as well. Because of the Tremendous properties of the Spice many houses have gone to war over it and every ear that comes The Imperial Sardaukar are need to Intervine.

"The Imperial Sardaukar Battle Flag"

Imperial Sardaukar

Sardaukar are trained from infancy in the Province Salusa Secundus, House Corrino's original (and environmentally barren) homeland as well as the formal Capital world of the Empire prior to the Butlerian Jihad. Known to the rest of the Empire as the Emperor's Prison Province, Salusa Secondus is home to the vicious training grounds of the Sardaukar, who fight voraciously in a mock-up of natural selection - ensuring that only the best enter formal Imperial service. Like the Fremen of the province Dune, the intense difficulties of simply surviving the barren terrain and fellow populace on Salusa Secondus leave only the toughest alive. Further, their training emphasized ruthlessness and near-suicidal disregard for personal safety. In conjunction with intense conditioning for loyalty to the Emperor, the Sardaukar are estimated as worth ten times their number in Landsraad house levies. The Sardaukar are normally organized under legions of roughly 30,000 soldiers each, and it is said that one legion alone can pacify any nation foolish enough to incur the Emperor's wrath.

Landsraad Houses

these are the noble houses that survived the great purge. there 6. It is from these houses that the Empire draws its Imperial Levies They are kept in Check By the Imperial Sardaukar.

House Corrino House Corrino's ancestral province was Salusa Secundus, the seat of imperial power since the Butlerian Jihad. Due to an unfortunate atomic explosion, House Corrino and the Golden Lion Throne moved to Kaitain. The offending house is unknown, erased from history. The harsh conditions of their homeland encouraged the survival of the strong, and allowed the Corrinos to develop the region's most-feared military units, the warrior-fanatic Sardaukar, the means by which House Corrino controlled the Empire.

House Atreides This noble house hailing from the water province of Caladan employs unlikely methods in its struggle to secure the spice of Arrakis: noble spirit, just ways and unfailing virtue. Ruling its homeland Caladan for generations with justice and generosity, House Atreides has perfected a form of government that results in a well-organized society and a spiritually satisfied people. Little wonder that Caladan is the lush, prosperous paradise that it is. However, the House was also proficient in war; it had even developed an Atreides battle language

House Harkonnen One of the great houses of the Imperium, the House Harkonnen is built on a simple foundation of fear and terror, two tactics that make the Baron Harkonnen's underlings that much more dangerous: risk death on the battlefield or suffer a slow, excruciating death in the Baron's chambers as he watches with relish. With an order based on treachery, soldiers rise through the ranks through deceit, trickery and, if necessary, assassination. Hailing from an industrial wasteland of a province called Giedi Prime, the House Harkonnen is much like its Baron: cold, ruthless, egomaniacal, but brilliant and lethally efficient. Most of all, it's driven by a kanly (vendetta) against House Atreides. The vendetta originated when Vorian Atreides exposed the unwarranted shame of Abulurd Harkonnen at the Battle of Corrin when Abulurd Harkonnen refused an order issued by Vorian Atreides to kill millions of humans enslaved by machines. The Battle of Corrin is the battle that ended the Butlerian Jihad and founded the Imperium.

House Richese House Richese was a wealthy house before taking over the fiefdom of Arrakis, but the vast expenses required for the spice manufacturing contract, as well as an economic war with the more advanced House Vernius, bankrupted House Richese.

House Vernius This house is the ruling power in the province Ix. The main industry on Ix is machines that continuously test the bounds of the precepts set down by the Butlerian Jihad. The rival of House Vernius is House Richese, which also specializes in machinery, but doesn't create controversial machinery. The strongest ally of House Vernius is House Atreides. Their friendship began when the Earl Dominic Vernius and Duke Paulus Atreides fought together in the Ecazi rebellion.

House Ordos House Ordos is a member of the Landsraad, the great council of the Imperium, and is one of the more powerful members of it. The House is from the ice province Sigma Draconis, and is considered to be a mercantile house.

House Tleiaxu The Tleilax are genetic manipulators, equivalent in power to a major house in the Imperium. They solely control a number of provinces in the Imperium. Not organized along feudal lines (as most of rest of the Imperium is), the Tleilaxu are secretive and very little is known about them although their society is said to be a meritocracy. They are chiefly known for their biological products such as artificial eyes, gholas, and face dancers. they are often found Raiding tombs. this has developed into a blood fued with Imperial Sardaukar (although very little know of it.)
