'''Duke Kaeso Mordanticus''', also known as the '''Imperator''', is the leader of the radical [[Empire|Imperial]] isolationist group [[Nova Imperium]]. Mordanticus was a charismatic [[Imperial Navy]] admiral who hailed from a prestigious family of military veterans and earned the loyalty of many of his subordinates during his time in the service. In 3304, sometime after he had retired from the Imperial Navy, Mordanticus assumed the guise of "the Imperator" and established Nova Imperium in an effort to restore traditional Imperial values, defend the Empire against the [[Thargoid]]s, and end cooperation with the [[Federation]] and [[Alliance]]. | '''Duke Kaeso Mordanticus''', also known as the '''Imperator''', is the leader of the radical [[Empire|Imperial]] isolationist group [[Nova Imperium]].

*Several Imperial [[senator]]s have spoken in support of isolationist group Nova Imperium. Senator [[Pal Vespasian]] made the following statement: "Many of us see Nova Imperium not as extremists, but as realists. The citizenry is afraid of both Thargoid invasion and of being weakened by collaboration with foreign systems. They look to the Emperor for salvation…and she offers them none. We intend to invite Imperator Mordanticus to address the Senate and detail his policies. This is a historic opportunity to restore the Empire's honour and integrity. Furthermore, Nova Imperium's proposal to install a new Emperor has my full backing."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c015b584e67775a910767dc GalNet: Senators Support Nova Imperium]</ref> | |||

*Isolationist group Nova Imperium has declared its intention to install a new Emperor. The group's leader, recently identified as ex-navy admiral Duke Kaeso Mordanticus and known as the Imperator, said: "The Empire has been weakened by collaborating with its enemies. Aegis drains our resources to protect foreign systems from the Thargoids, our security forces are stretched thin defending non-Imperial systems, and [[Aisling Duval|Princess Duval]] sullies her honourable name by dallying with a [[Jordan Rochester|Federal libertine]]. Our people demand stronger leadership. We will achieve this by installing a new Emperor – one who will restore the glory of the Empire!" Political journalist Cassia Carvalho commented in The Imperial Herald: "Naturally there has been no response from Arissa Lavigny-Duval. But for many citizens, Mordanticus has articulated their unease about inter-superpower cooperation. With support for Nova Imperium increasing rapidly, a silent minority may now have found a voice."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bf7d7f138756f17055080fc GalNet: Nova Imperium Demands New Emperor]</ref> | *Isolationist group Nova Imperium has declared its intention to install a new Emperor.
