-Chapter 1: Forged in Steel-
----- !WARNING: Long post ahead. It is a story based on the history of The Grand Imperium. If you are not interested, turn away now while you have the chance! These Chronicles are based after the events of the Arcadian Civil War (also known as The Breaking), and are now more relevant. -----
============================================================
Destruction, chaos, hopelessness.
Three words that described the current state of the Empire. Shortly after the dissolution of the Arcadian Union, the Emperor had the task of creating an empire that would last for ages to come.
Several hundred years passed, and the Empire was weakly spread across three star systems. Though the troubles of the past were quelled, the cost was tremendous. The failing Reaper Industries began to collapse, and the home planet of Arcadia was poor, stripped of previous winnings from a Pyrrhic victory. Many former leaders were dead, leaving a new chain of command that was to lead the Imperium forward unto a brighter dawn.
There was a problem with this, however, was that these brighter days had not come.
Instead, the chain of command was in shambles, and Emperor Castellian Nevermoor I was growing more impatient by the day. The date was now 2640, and the Emperor grew weary of his incompetent officers.
He called upon his second in command, High Overlord Apothecary Delargivic to speak with him on what do with the current hierarchy. Over a period of several days, they decided upon an agreement that would change the path of the Imperium forever.
============================================================
Emperor Castellian strode forth into the meeting room, his second in command flanking him. His footsteps echoed across the elegant marble floor of his palace. The officers before him were silent, awaiting orders should he give them any. They were a poor bunch, a group of callow officers who fancied goofing off, rather than acting didactic and headstrong as an officer should be. This, Emperor Castellian decided, would come to an end.
He cleared his throat, addressing to the poor lot.
"Fellow Arcadian officers... It has come to my attention, that you all have been acting out of line, and have betrayed my orders. I have warned you all many times on the consequences that would befall should you deviate from my authority."
He looked at each of them with a harsh and cruel stare. The cold look on the Emperor's face would be the last thing they saw.
"And now, you must all pay the price."
The Emperor turned towards Apothecary, and nodded to him. Acknowledging this signal, the imposing Overlord pulled a small lever, brutally electrocuting every officer seated with several thousand volts of electricity. The stench of burning flesh soon filled the air. Before long, the majority of them were dead; or -miraculously- unconscious. Those who were still breathing were taken to Apothecary's infamous "clinic," where traitors and spies were tortured to the highest extent.
The Emperor observed the bodies being hauled off without remorse. He had given them too many chances.
Once again flanked by his loyal Overlord, he marched out of the meeting room, leaving the stench of foul death behind.
============================================================
And so the Empire was ruled solely by the duo for several weeks. During that period of time, new officers were being trained by them personally; Officers who would carry the will of Arcadia onward.
Joseph Nevermoor, a relative of the Emperor and newly appointed Officer; who previously had aided the Imperium against a foreign invader, was appointed head of Reaper Industries, and under his guidance, the program once again began to flourish, supplying Arcadia and her colonies once again with next-generation medicine and technology.
A year passed, and slowly but surely, the Empire was mending its wounds. New policies were being passed, strengthening royal authority, and the Emperor began to execute his full will amongst his people. Now, under a firm and austere central command, the Empire prospered.
It would be 15 years before the next great conflict would be written; before this prospering Empire would be truly challenged.
-End of Chapter 1- ============================================================
Reference:
Emperor Castellian Nevermoor I: Castellian Apothecary Delargivic: ToberDam Joseph Nevermoor: Smog879 ============================================================ Side notes/Fun Facts:
-An "officer purge" has never existed in TGI's history, although you could argue that many of the previous high ranks were replaced within the past several months.
-ToberDam's torture methods are quite scary; you do not want to be in his clinics. ============================================================ Written by CrakTheRaven, revised and edited by BoostPowah |

@Crak You are one of the nicest people in games and in person, (AKA in TGI General), but other than that on forums. You are the biggest jerk ever, like seriously. I'm not a new poster. I'm becoming very active on C&G and post when I need too, I've been scanning around along time. |

For future threads,
I advice you to take time and consider what you're posting, and realize that there are repercussions to words. There are times to be trollish, and times to be serious. If you post something that can be taken as negative by the Original Poster, expect to be engaged in an argument.
I am normally a nice person, and I don't hold grudges; however, when I take something as being negative, I will react.
