The Iron Edicts​

I. The Empire

1. The Empire is absolute. Its word is law. Its will is final.
2. The Throne is the embodiment of Imperial authority—unchallenged, indivisible, eternal.
3. The line of succession is fixed and enforced; disorder is treason.
4. No throne is held by weakness. Leadership is not given—it is taken, proven, and preserved.
5. The Empire tolerates no fracture, no division. One Throne. One Law. One Voice.

II. The Citizen

1. To live under the Empire is a privilege bought in loyalty and blood.
2. Citizenship is not a right—it is earned through labor, obedience, and unflinching service.
3. Every citizen who serves strengthens the Empire; every one who falters weakens it.
4. The protectorate of the Empire extends only to those who carry their weight.
5. The worthy rise. The useless are cast aside. All must serve—none may drift.

III. The Force

1. The Force is a phenomenon. It serves—it does not rule.
2. No cult, no order, no religion supersedes the Empire.
3. Those with power are not exempt from duty—they are bound to it.
4. The Imperial Knights are the only sanctioned Force-wielders—bound to the Throne, stripped of superstition.
5. The Force does not define destiny. The Empire is destiny.

IV. Law and Control

1. The law is not a shield—it is a sword. It is enforced without hesitation, without compassion.
2. Regional rule exists by the grace of the Throne. Autonomy is illusion.
3. Subversion is not tolerated. Dissent is not debated. Rebellion is annihilated.
4. Order is maintained by strength, not compromise.
5. Peace exists only through total control.

V. Power and Advancement

1. Strength lies in precision, not faith. In systems, not sentiment.
2. The Empire uplifts those who excel—engineers, officers, strategists, and architects of control.
3. Resources are weapons. Efficiency is doctrine. Waste is betrayal.
4. The Ministries of Advancement, Order, and Dominion shall oversee all production, expansion, and force projection.
5. Progress is a hammer. We wield it without pity.

VI. Imperial Mandate

1. The galaxy will be remade—not by hope, but by will.
2. The weak will kneel or be broken. The disloyal will be erased.
3. Each planet brought to heel is another chain in the great order.
4. The stars do not belong to the many. They belong to the Empire.
5. We will not ask. We will not negotiate. We will impose.
