The Fleet:
As important as the Marines and Army are to maintaining the peace on the ground, the true
core of the Imperiums power is its fleets. Each captain in the Emperors military is charged, on their
own initiative, with upholding the Emperors law, and the customs of the Empire. As such, they are also
charged with protecting those Imperial citizens who deserve the fleets protection, and eradicating
those who do not. They are given complete control over the life and death of each citizen they
encounter, at least in the immediacy of things. And even if they prove to be corrupt, thankfully a rare
occurrence, an investigation several months or perhaps years later does not change the heroics or
atrocities that they performed.
The Emperor:
Emperor Strephon was born on 202-1049, and proclaimed emperor in 1071.
In the early 1100s, Strephon launched a series of reforms, giving Archdukes additional governing
powers and taxation authority. The restoration of governing and taxation powers was designed to
reconnect the Throne of the Emperor to the lives of Imperial citizens, shifting from its then-current
position as a distant and abstract authority. The Strephonian Reforms (begun in 1113) were also meant
to shake the government from the grip of complacency and stagnation. To lead the reforms, he
appointed Dulinor Archduke of the Domain of Ilelish. Both the reforms and the selection of Dulinor were
accomplished over significant opposition.
During Strephon's reign, the Fourth Frontier War (1082 to 1084) erupted; although it was
concluded with little actual input from Capital, Strephon was nevertheless credited with the speedy end
to the conflict.
There are rumors that Strephon is contemplating activating the Domain of Deneb and elevating
Duke Norris of Regina to Archduke of Deneb in recognition of the signal services he did the Imperium
during the Fifth Frontier War.

territory, visit: www.travellermap.com
The Imperium is divided into four Domains, each one four sectors arranged in a square. A sector
encompasses all of the stars within a grid of thirty two by forty parsecs. It also encompasses sixteen
subsectors, each one eight by ten parsecs. (As an additional note, one parsec is equal to 3.26 light-years,
or about 206,000 AU)
Some specific settings of interest are the Spinward Marches, and the Solomani Rim. The
Spinward Marches is an area on the border between the Imperium, the Zhodani Consulate, and the
Vargr Extents all three. The sub-setting is extremely plentiful with shady characters, alien races, and
exciting action adventures. There are several subsectors within the sector that are of note, particularly
the Sword Worlds. These worlds are settled by people that take great pride in their Norse warrior
heritage, and as such, all of their worlds are named after swords of legend; such as Excalibur.
An extremely different but equally well fleshed out setting is the Solomani Rim; this Sector is a
mix between the Vilani and the Solomani, and is perfect for an adventure ripe with political negotiation,
scandals, and intrigue.
