THE IMPERIAL ARMY
The Imperium spans many worlds, and as such needs a large army to defend it. Soldiers are drawn from their homeworld, trained, and put into an IA Regiment that consists of soldiers from their home system.
Technology varies by Regiment, depending on world. Vehicle and Uniform variety abounds, making any Imperial Rally a glorious sight, the many colors and banners of worlds resplendent in the light of the sun and stars, showing the might of a united humanity to all who would seek to oppose them.
Organizations of the Imperium
Almost all organizations within the Imperium that control transport and defense are controlled by the government. All branches are equal-opportunity, and allow any species who join the Imperium to serve.
Organization of the Imperium's many organizations is as follows:
Fleet:
Controls trade
Defends systems
Provides transport to commercial and military assets
Colonizes new worlds
Imperial Armed Forces
Defends and recruits from all conquered worlds
Equipment and sub-organization varies by world
Near-limitless supply of soldiers and equipment
Spritewars Involvement
First Time The Imperium was first deployed into SW in the first reset. They were a small, stranded force consisting of a few regiments and the Emperor himself. Their goal was to construct a transmitter to make contact with the rest of the Imperium, escaping Earth and bringing a full force to conquer it. Commander Evil was notable as being the laziest SW Commander EVER. (lol i admit it)
Second Time In the second reset, the Imperium had discovered Earth and after many comics foreshadowing the future, the Imperial Army invaded Earth, got shot at by the chaos legion a bit, then the season died.
Sprites were updated a bit, and ACV's were used.
Imperium 2.5 The Imperium also played a major part in the Eastern Campaign, working alongside a few other armies made by CE. They had the bad habit of hitting important machinery with their rifles to fix it.
Third Times the Charm...
The Imperium has made a comeback for the Grand Campaign, with a LOT of new weapons, redone infantry and officers, and a kickass new plan for peace and equality on Earth and Mobius. They immediately allied with the Firefox and UEAF forces, and are responsible for most of the superweapon and fortress construction on Earth.
They like whoring laser and railgun weaponry, A LOT.
NOTABLE CHARACTERS
Colonel Ai
A catgirl officer who is very experienced in all forms of combat. Tends to blow up if provoked to a great measure, and make threats with her sidearm.
She has a nice butt, as Mecha-Donkey Kong pointed out in the Grand Campaign.
Colonel Kroenen
A quiet, withdrawn man, He enjoys classical music. Unlike Colonel Ai, Kroenen enjoys being in the thick of combat. He has the unnerving ability to creep around thanks to a cloaking device that bends light and shadow around him. He enjoys the use of bladed weapons, and has the amazing ability to spin them at high speeds and coordinate two swords at once. He is also an expert shot with a pistol. It is rumored that he is the sole survivor of a long-dead project run by the Imperial Army to create the perfect assassin.
He is based off Karl Kroenen from hellboy, but without all that nazi occultist nonsense.
General Marduk
Feared by his associates, he leads a special operations group of the IAF assigned to the worst possible war zones. His men consist mostly of Imperial Die-hards, 'Re-educated' Criminals, and various other nut-cases and psychopaths. He shows a dislike for incompetent generals, and has no respect for any other than his men and his Emperor. His men, likewise, are wholly devoted to the Imperial Cause, and will lay down their lives in a second if it is for the good of mankind. Marduk is the oldest living General in the IAF, although he refuses to discuss his lengthly term of service with other generals.
A rumor persists that Marduk is mentally unstable, and suffers from sociopathy himself. What is unanimously agreed on, is that although he is unpleasant, he is very good at what he does.
