IMPERIAL |
And so it was that Imperial grew. The families amassed wealth and knowledge and, led by Her Imperial Serenity, raised the foundations of their new Empire. They haughtily shook their fists and rattled their swords at the larger competitors. Imperial stood up to fight for its traditions and developed into a megacorporation, a position of power and influence that guaranteed the survival of Imperial values and politics. Their position had been gained through the devotion of the families and clans that created the corporation and it was this zeal that enabled them to challenge their mightier brethren. But this was not seen with kind eyes by all. Bloody wars were instigated to quench the spirit of the challenger and Imperial was threatened and without allies in the cold world of corporate finance. But they stood their ground and built a strong defense, based on the strengths of the clans and the families that ruled them. And it was Imperial that first realized the threat of the Dark Legions. They saw the seeds of Darkness and the mysterious patterns of the Dark symmetry that spread among our cities.The cults of the Heretics and the renegades grew and the dark shadow of evil threatened to engulf us all. It was then, o Brothers, that the leaders of Imperial called for the mighty Blood Berets. The valiant warriors did fight the Dark Legion side by side with our blessed crusaders. In the deepest jungles on Venus the battle raged and many men did forever scribe their names in the eternal ledger of heroes.
