The '''Empire''', officially the '''Empire of Achenar''', is one of the three major [[:Category:Factions|factions]] in the universe, the other two being the [[Federation]] and the [[Alliance]]. The Imperial Palace, seat of the [[Emperor]], is situated on [[Achenar/Capitol|Capitol]] in the [[Achenar]] system.
Line 5 ⟶ 14:
Although a peace treaty has existed between the Empire and the Federation since 2382AD, there have never really been any peaceful relations between these two old enemies. The Empire despises the Federation and everything it stands for, and vice-versa.
The Empire is less technologically dependent than the Federation, choosing to keep and employ slaves for the work which machines would usually perform in other parts of the universe. The Empire is also a proponent of human cloning, a topic which the other factions find abhorrent and have officially banned within their own
Imperial society is based on a "client" system - much like ancient Rome - and strictly stratified, with people being able to move between strata based on money, patronage and [[influence]]. It values both status and honour very highly. Whilst it is acceptable to flaunt wealth, treating people well is a question of honour - and this includes slaves. Having an unpaid debt is seen as utterly dishonourable - an honourable Imperial citizen would sell themselves into slavery to clear a debt they couldn't otherwise afford.
