			== Funeral arrangements ==
			The death of an Emperor is followed by a four-week official mourning period during which they lie in state inside the Hall of Martyrs for public viewing. The number of attendees may total in the millions, though not all will have the chance to view the body in-person. A state funeral and procession are then held the day after the end of the mourning period. The coffin is carried by the [[Imperial Guard]] through the city of Capitol and followed by the Emperor's spouse, then immediate family, [[Senator]]s, [[Patron]]s of high status with direct connections to the Emperor, [[Client]]s, citizens, and lastly the Emperor's favourite [[Imperial Slaves]], who are traditionally set free at the end of the funeral. The Emperor is finally interred in the Hall of Martyrs in a private ceremony, while citizens across the Empire partake in the Feast of Remembering.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c31f5a9657bac2700d630d GalNet: Official Period of Mourning Begins]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c472ab9657bac35e0d6310 GalNet: Millions Pay Respects]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/55e6b8429657ba7a21ed4373 GalNet: Public Viewing of Emperor Hengist Duval Ceases]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55e80b2e9657bafa07ed4373 GalNet: Emperor Hengist Duval's Funeral]</ref>

	~~Early in~~ his ~~reign,~~ the ~~15th~~ Emperor [[~~Hengist Duval~~]] ~~changed~~ the ~~laws~~ of ~~succession so~~ that ~~daughters of~~ the ~~Imperial line would also be able~~ to ~~become Emperor~~.~~<ref>~~[~~https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/561397259657ba7007435572 Senate Declares Arissa Lavigny~~-~~Duval Emperor~~]~~</ref> The~~ [[Imperial ~~Senate\|Senate~~]] ~~determined that the title 'Emperor' should be used for both male and female rulers~~.<ref ~~name=":1"~~>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/~~5620c5189657bab1612a1853 Arissa Lavigny-Duval Crowned Emperor~~]</ref>		Henson's restructuring of Achenar's government into a monarchy gave rise to a counter-ideology among his detractors known as Marlinism. The core tenet of Marlinism was that the position of Emperor should be abolished and replaced by a representative system of elected [[senator]]s. Marlinism became widespread throughout Imperial fringe systems and remained a minor yet persistent presence in Imperial politics by the 34th century. A radical offshoot of Marlinism called Neo-Marlinism also eventually emerged; it shared the main goal of Marlinism, but asserted that terror tactics were the only feasible way to achieve that goal. Neo-Marlinist groups such as the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]] also held a particular hatred for the [[Imperial Family]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f59df9848baea0ae33e1e05 GalNet: Terrorist Attacks on Imperial Starports]</ref>

			After the assassination of Hengist Duval in 3301, there was no clear successor to the Imperial Throne, because Hengist had disqualified his son, [[Prince]] [[Harold Duval]], from the line of succession only the year before. This left the choice of who would be crowned the next Emperor entirely to the Imperial Senate. [[Chancellor]] [[Anders Blaine]] was widely considered the strongest candidate for the throne, but the revelation of his indirect connection to [[Emperor's Dawn]] left [[Princess]] [[Aisling Duval]] and [[Senator]] [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval\|Arissa Lavigny]] as the most convincing contenders.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/561249259657ba7207f31fd4 Imperial Succession Vote in Senate Today]</ref> Arissa Lavigny had previously declared that [[Prince]] [[Aristide Lavigny]] was not her biological father, and that she was the illegitimate daughter of [[Hengist Duval]].
