It is the 1116th year of the Third Imperium, the greatest power in Charted Space. 5 years after the war hero Duke Norris ended the Fifth Frontier War, Emperor Strephon summons him back to Capital though whether to garland him with honours or execute him for over-stepping his authority is unknown. Meanwhile Archduke Dulinor and Grand Princess Ciencia Iphigenia clash over reforming the Imperium, and scandals about waste and excess swirl around the Princes Varian and Lucan. These various factions are pulling the Imperium in different directions – whilst the Frontier provinces and those facing the Solomani demand better defences and expensive fleets, the interior sectors protest against the high taxes needed to pay for them. The Vilani retreat back into traditionalism, aghast at rumours that the Psionic Laws might be repealed, whilst non-human citizens shout for their cultures to be recognised. Rumours of corruption and wasteful spending exacerbate separatist tensions. The Imperium trembles on the eve of Rebellion.
A Traveller game of political intrigue and action around the Iridium Throne. PvP involved as you play the Emperor, Prince & Princesses & Archdukes of the Court as the future of the Third Imperium is determined.
