Terran Empire

The Terran Empire, founded in 10 AA, or ten years After Architects left, is one of the major political powers in the Tytus Galaxy, centered in the Central Region.

The Terran Empire has gone through many hardships, proving it's strength and resilience to the rest of the galaxy despite it's relatively young age. From full-scale war to ruinous in-fighting, The Terran Empire always finds a way out of the darkness that constantly threatens their rule. The most recent major conflict, known as The Imperial Fracture, was a period of infighting between the Lords and High Lords, who fought for dominance in the Empire's political scene. The conflict went on for thirteen years until the now revered Emperor Marcus Artellius was able to bring the Imperial territories under one rule, through both diplomacy and conquest.

Of course, even the most established of nobles seldom see his face, for the Emperor is a busy man. Even so, the nobility is rewarded with many different privileges and titles. Military officers, government officials, and even owners of critical businesses and manufacturing are fit into this class. It is noteworthy that only the Emperor and his Council may grant a noble title to a previously untitled person.

The middle class, those who works for a living, are the majority of the population within a Terran city or settlement. While they're far from ever reaching a luxurious lifestyle, they find comfort in their lives - most are contempt. They have everything they could ever need, without any of the severe responsibility of the noble classes. It should be noted that enlisted personnel take roughly half of it's troop count from this class and the lower class. Most who join from the middle class are die-hard patriots, while others are only there to seek the benefits of enlistment.

The lower class is comprised of ex-criminals, urchins, and other unfortunate
