Emperor Vin Dane rules this vast multi-system empire from the Avalon system. It absorbed the old Earth Federation government after the Caal Invasion.
Official History
After the Battle of Avalon and the destruction of the Ares Battle Group (and most of the Home Fleet), Vin returned to the planet in triumph. Thousands flooded to the capital city and worshipped Dane as a god. The Grand Council had already ceded control to him, and with them, what was left of the Federation bureaucracy. He formally dissolved the Earth Federation. Although there was some talk of establishing a new democracy, the growing crowds demanded their god be given absolute authority. In order to avoid further bloodshed, Vin took the crown and folded the bureaucracy into a new government.
Actual History
Vin had no intention of relinquishing power. With the Orb, he saw an opportunity to restore the Horadrim to prominence, and correct the atrocities of the Federation. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been as easy as he had hoped. Although he has absolute power on Avalon, what’s left of the Home Fleet is not enough to impose his will on the universe. He had to bribe the other system governors to join his empire – creating a quasi-feudal system of houses, granting the governors absolute control of their systems, in exchange for any military equipment and units they possessed.
Officials
Empress Miranda (Mage) is responsible for the Imperial Household, but since that’s a rather small staff, she’s taken control of their R&D program. Unfortunately, that mostly involves searching secret Fed archives for anything useful. Amanda Kait (Human) is the Lady High Chancellor, which is the head of the new Imperial Bureaucracy; since she was the former Minister of Production, she’s perfectly qualified. Field Marshal Demar Palancia (Werewolf) is the CnC of the Imperial Army, which is made up of both former Tech and Light Infantry volunteers.
