Intermission Galactic civilisation Introduction Mid-chapter
The Imperium of Man
Largest and most military largest human galactic civilization. Even for its ancient of age of 7000 years after reaching the ability of space faring. For a galactic civilisation it is quite inexperienced in the galactic theatre and one can even say unsure on what to do of its new-found power of influence in both Prothean and Non-Prothean space. As stated it is a Military powerhouse and pretty much all that it actually excel in. Its data processing is done by what can be described as ancient computers which can only be close to the Earth human computers in the earth years of the 1980s. Because of this, half of their data processing which is administrating a galactic civilization is done by paper and man. Yes , paper shocking as it may be. Its warp drive in its space is scientifically proven the most unstable and dangerous faster than light drive in existence in which you have a chance of being spirited away. It pretty much has the worse technological disparity between its citizens. A level never even thought to be possible. Some of its world are even still in tribal level of a civilisation! Not to mention being the only civilisation to not have government sponsored education.With all things said it can be described that the imperium is the civilisation that time forgot.
But even with all this disadvantages it has found itself in a very unique position in the galactic theatre. Having one of the most largest and threatening military force known to the known galaxy and the influence that comes with it. But one of the many flaws that has recently shown in its structure is that it is very vulnerable to the many sectors that a normal galactic civilisation has. For example its economy. Other than its elite there is a little consumption market. Most of the consumer products for middle and low-class usually never receive an opportunity to off world itself to even their neighboring planets. Enter the Megacorporations of The Systems Alliance who the first lucky few to find this little treasure cove of profit in which now because of this it finds some of its frontier worlds in the Alliance border being economically and culturally dominated by the alliance megacorps within a matter of months of opening businesses there.
What happened was that its planets was on the verge of revolution to either turn itself towards into an Alliance corporation-territory world or alliance client world. This is mainly due to the sudden opening of new human culture so easily to relate. If not for the massive amount of the Imperium's Adeptus Arbites (Its Galactic's Police,Judicial system ,Judges , Jury and Executioners) that were deployed to those affected worlds it would not have been able to subdue the revolution that was formenting before it came into fruition. The event ended with the megacorps that was operating would be left alone for diplomatic reasons but contracts and certificates allowing legal operation in Imperium space came into existence and it has become one of the most fought over pieces of document between Alliance's Megacorps because of its High population of an average imperial worlds very vulnerable even to the most basic of consumer goods.
Thus on that day marked the Imperium's perilous road to rise to the levels equal to all other galactic civilization in sectors it has for a long time ignored and left to stagnate.
Tired of reading? That is only the introduction on their civilisation! Trust me i am trying to make these as compressed chapters as possible but there is simply too much to cover in the 10000 years in the existence and history of the Imperium of Man and its predecessor civilisations.
Border of Citadel and Imperium of Man Space,2177
In the bridge of a Turian cruiser that has recently jumped out of FTL travel, While its crew busy themselves with their normal duties two turians are looking on the bridge's window viewing the star station which is their destination. It was small at first sight and steadily became bigger as they come closer and closer to the building. The star station itself look liked a Giant City made of bronze colored metal floating in the middle space, with big platforms extending from what that looks like its docking area and its numerous skyscrappers extending upwards. As the distance between the cruiser and the star port closed in , the nervousness in the cruiser's crew is becoming more and more apparent. The organic error being more frequent , the feeling the need to double check usually calculations, the added frequency to check all sensors systems.
In the two turians looking towards the star station, one is sitting in a chair towering behind all the bridge's stations and the other turian standing beside him. The one in the chair is dressed in turian navy uniform. One can say from the chair he is sitting on he is obviously the captain of the ship while the other turian is dressed in what could be described as formal attire in turian culture which it is a one piece cloth that covered their entire body. His clothes however are colored black with vertical white lines going from his arms joints towards his legs.
"Tell me professor what made you want to be a xenonologist? After all we turians aren't the most well known having the aptitude in subjects such as this" asked the captain in his chair
"Well Captain Nereus, like most of my classmates in the Herbidon Military Academy back in 2123.I found an interest in the Turian history part of our curriculum. It is the part that captivated me the most. That was the part of my life when i realized i focused more on the why's and hows of the conflicts in our history started and how Palaven arranged itself to fire of those conflicts. Rather than on how to wage it." the professor said
"Herbidon Academy?! Forgive me for interrupting but that was also where i studied in you the one who was always scolded by Professor Tharendeus for being late for his Military Tactics class? " the captain surprisingly asked
" Ah yes i was" the professor said then chuckled
"I Apologize for interupting,Please do continue" the captain said with also a slight smile in his face
"As i was saying,Soon i realized i became more and more entranced by history and its inner workings and find myself spending more and more time that i started failing my other subjects. Because of my new-found interest and realisation of my inaptitude as an officer. I made the hard decision of moving to a University of the arts and letters in Thessia." The Xenonologist replied
" I take it your parents did not take the news well?" the captain asked with increasing curiosity.
"To say they did not like it would be an understatement, they were furious. Being one from House Gorlem,there is a proud tradition of being decorated officers of the Hierachy. In their fury , my parents refused to pay for my tuition for my school in Thessia and even as far threatened me of being exiled if I did not board the next shuttle to Palaven to explain myself." The professor confessed.
"So what did you tell them to not exile you? Seeing that you can still carry your house name."the captain questioned
"Well captain i didn't have time for that,you see I was too busy with my internship/Part-time job to the Matriach Artuzia who was also the head of the Xenonology department. The matriarch said that I held an inspiration like no other and offered to pay for my tuition if I worked as her intern/assistant."
"Wait, wasn't she the Matriarch that made first contact with the Humans of the System alliance?" The captain asked becoming more curious
"Actually i was part of her crew during that time historic moment, One of the biggest reasons why i became so interested in humans and becoming one of the first Xenonologist to reveal their societies to the rest of citadel space" the professor replied with a hint of pride
"Now we are also going to make another mark on history if this voya- Before he can finish the intercom for the ship started to announce its message
"To all members of the Diplomatic mission,Honor guard and captain Nereus, please proceed to the departure point for final briefing and assembly for departure" the ship's comms officer announced.
"And history calls us professor, let us be on our way, Vice captain you are in charge till I return." The captain said rotating his chair and then standing up and heading to the elevator calling the proffesor to followm ,while the vice captain salutes in acknowledgement of their departure
"Please captain, call me Grekus seeing that we already are acquaintances" He replied following him to the elevator
In an antiquated but luxurious looking dressing room that had most of its walls replaced by windows to the space station/city stood a man outfitting his coat and a woman
"So do you think this green coat looks more imposing or should i just get another red coat?"asked the man outfitting the green coat in front of a trio of mirrors. The man had black hair and olive skin and wore a green coat that had three purity seals on its right chest on his left hanged a few skull badges, 5 medals nicely lined in one line. Under the green coat the is a white collar shirt but most of it is not seen except the top part that revealed some of the shirt and the collar.
"Good enough, plus they are xenos. I highly doubt their sense of "looking good" would be anywhere near the human standard" answered causcasian woman with short blonde short that it spikes and gives here a sort of tomboyish look. She is in an Adeptus Arbites Armor-uniform. The armor had most of its silver colored plates in both the upper body and lower body .She also has fur cape on her. There is a pin of the Aquila in her top right chest shining as if newly polished .There is also her helmet in her arms while her power maul hangs in her hips.
"In my experience Judge Hayley , with humans , non-humans and even animals. They all respond to colors, whether positively or negatively. I will take my chances. Plus in this historic occasion I would rather be remembered overdressed than under dressed. At least the history books would not remember me with nothing less but majestic" He said as he fixed his clothes to properly fit.
Turning away from the mirror and looking at her he said "Plus I should apologize. We and the rest of the men should be celebrating for your new promotion as Judge! And your new privileges as a throne agent to condemn entire planets to an Exterminatus!" he jokingly said.
" If it wasnt for these duties and res-" "Responsibilities that only you , Inquisitor Valoross Von Stafford are qualified to . Why do you think the imperium specifically chose you for these duties?" she interrupted. Also fixing the untied bowtie.
As she said that a servo-skull floated into the room and spoke " The Citadel dignitaries are arriving sir."
"Then we should be off then,to welcome our esteemed guest!" The inquisitor said walking out the room with his companions following behind him.
