The Imperator.
6 years ago
The Gaian Imperium, and Empire spreading out from the Sol system. It's core beliefs are that the strong shall protect the weak and that the hermaphrodite, the intersex, is the superior form of life. As this Imperium grew and rose to power on Earth the very spirit of the world reacted, helping herald in the then called Terran Imperium as the champions of the Earth. How ever despite the very spirit of earth silently helping the Imperium, despite their clear technological superiority of the other world powers, they resisted and rejected the Imperium siting various reasons of their own personal creation.
The Imperium's initial plan was to conquer the glob by simple attrition, by being the better place to live life. They have all but removed crime from their home nation, there was no homeless, none starved, it is a utopia aside from the Citizen and Migrant divergence, which is one of the things the other nations pointed to as to why they resisted the Imperium. And when war came, they again proved their might, their superiority, on the field of battle. And it still wasn't enough. They resisted, defied, refused the Imperium. And so, due to the massive loss of life the war would bring, the Imperium's Inquisition sought out ways to reduce the loss of life, to save Humanity from itself. They found it in The Imperator.
The Imperator, whos name has been lost to history and simply overshadowed by the figure they became, grew up during the war and rose to prominence quickly, being a citizen and an exceptionally gifted one at that drew the eyes of the Inquisition upon her. The Inquisition's primary goal is to preserve and protect the core of the Imperium, to root out corruption and weakness within it as well as find the weaknesses in others for the Imperium to exploit, and in the Imperator they found an avatar of the Imperium. And so this exceptional being was then elevated by the Inquisition itself, something never before done, to the head of the Imperium.
The Terran Imperium now had an Empress, an Imperator, at the helm. The Cerberus council remained as it always shall, to maintain the daily activities and inform the Imperator of important information reguarding the people, military, infrastructure. It was made clear at the start the Imperator is only to be instilled during times of dire need or crisis, as she wields the unrestrained might of the entire Imperium, focusing all of it to a specific purpose, surpassing the crisis. The Inquisition had knowingly created the most devastating weapon the Imperium would ever create.
With the other super powers of Earth in open conflict with the Imperium and the rise of the Imperator, rather than the Cerberus Council, leading the Imperium and a dramatic shift in it's tactics and policies. Up to this point the Imperium had taken a slow and defensive stance to it's spreading, the Imperator flipped this over and showed the world what kind of ruler she is by raining death across the most powerful nations of the world. Cities were leveled, civilian populations wiped out, and in their place the Imperator arrived to build.
It was a very aggressive tactic, and yet it worked. With Imperial cities being built in the middle of these countries while their political leaders bickered and ranted about it the people were able to see up close just how much they were told was lies. And from there, it spread out. The Imperator had dealt such a hard and sudden blow the nations had no idea what to do, they recoiled in confusion and by time they collected themselves to act the Imperator had already set the seeds. The cities were up in months and welcoming migrants from all over as always, only now it was much harder for the nations to control who got to the Imperium cities.
And as the world powers, in their final days of spite, considered open nuclear war...they found themselves disarmed. Their stockpiles of nuclear weaponry either went missing, were 'mistakenly' dismantled for some reason or another, or harmlessly detonated, the threat of M.A.D. shriveled up to nothingness. They had nothing to fight back with beyond words, which only revealed them to be the greedy frightened children that they were.
Original projections of the war calculated a 60% loss of life for the entire earth over the course of two and a half decades. The introduction of the Imperator reduced those statistics immensely, roughly only a 5% loss of human lives and the open conflict ended after five years it had started which was only three years after the Imperator rose to power. It would of course be many more decades before the planet was completely conquered, and terrorists were a concern for a time, the Imperator would grow old as the Imperium had grown stronger, uniting the people under one banner at long last.
