I'm actually in the middle of plotting out a lore rewrite. In short, they call themselves an Imperium, but that name has about as much meaning as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.  They manage to hold on to a small set of well-protected worlds, thereby avoiding being taken out by the Hegemony without needing to rely on the League, but even this is mostly just a matter of luck and circumstance.

Basically, they put on a show of perceived strength and showmanship with big flashy capitals and superweapons, but have trouble projecting this force without bankrupting themselves.  They're really a lot more fragile than this firepower suggests, and it's why they have a lot of defensive fleets (including the huge defensive array around Nova Capitalis).  The siege event will still exist; however, the rationale for embarking on sieges is to force an economic surrender from the market being blockaded, hauling back expensive goods and lots of credits.  It's little better than piracy.

I reeeeeally like it, and it helps to solve the long standing "lore purist" issue II had for so long as a monolith equal in power to Hedgemony.  Also, I like the idea of factions that maintain order through dramatic shows of force, but can't actually support offensive actions.  It's pretty common in the real world (Hence the North Korea reference) but would be the first time I know of that someone took this angle so directly in Starsector.

Good work, DR

My favourite faction
What loadouts do you guys run on the maximus class?
i played a pre setup one somehow ages ago and it was awesome
right now i am running stabilised, extended and hardened shields
12 capacitors/vents and a flux distributor
In the light turret slots i have 2 light machine guns and 2 auto cannons, but i dont really get much use out of them since i tend to just dodge missiles

i also really like the malleus class

You've been cranking out stuff recently DR, and I'm sure there's stuff higher on your list than II, but I've gotta say... With the additions and changes to the base game mechanics, I think II has never been more appropriate. Can't wait to see these guys in the sector again, either as an ally or opponent. Absolutely still a contender for my favorite faction mod to ever come out of the SS modding community.

Always loved this mod. I know you're busy updating a plethora of mods right now Revenant, but any idea when this one might get the bump to 0.9?

According to DR, he's gonna change a lot of stuff for the next update, both for II and Knights Templar. That's why it's taking so long to update.
