Second King of The Elysium Empire
Planets and their Lore:
Spindle VI: The Capital of The Empire, given as a gift by Mercenary General Monkrove
Hammer and Anvil (Praeda System): A fire world and a gas giant, the source of power for Damascus station.
Damascus Station: The Pride of The Empire, Damascus Station is home to millions of refugees, hundreds of businesses, and is the most expensive and one of the most critical projects ever performed by The Empire.
Garroba Prime: One of the more untouched planets within The Empire, Garroba Prime is a temporate world ruled by a chancellor. The planet has almost full autonomy, and is simply in Imperial territory.
Esthorhiel: Another autonomous planet, Esthorhiel is an isolated, Temperate planet inhabited by five nations. The planet remains independent by choice.
Daxam IV: A self-sufficient planet, Daxam IV is left out of most of The Empire's disputes and wars, though it is recognized as being under Imperial control, and thus Imperial protection.
Castilon: An ocean planet, The Empire uses Castilon as a home to the many refugees from aquatic worlds.
Gaulus: Once an Alliance world, Gaulus was cautious of allowing The Empire to claim it. However after several months of negotiations and The Empire proving its' goodwill, Gaulus slowly joined The Empire...though some of the most anti-Imperial senators are from the planet.

Vesti: Home, Base, and Temple to The Order of The Lion
Important Figures:
Heath Valhoun: First King and founder of The Elysium Empire, Heath Valhoun is recognized as the most important person in The Empire's past. However he was not without fault. He was a warmonger, misguided in his judgement, he made many enemies and allowed far too many problems to persist and grow.
Rex Valhoun: The Second King of The Empire, Rex Valhoun is the adopted son of Heath Valhoun. It was originally concealed that he is adopted, but to prove his honesty and earn support, Rex revealed this secret to The Empire. Rex Valhoun took action from day one, starting a campaign to "Make The Empire Great Again." He reformed the military, created a tax, tightened refugee laws slightly, and took anti-corruption measures. However the young king's work is just beginning.
Loreena Arenais: Loreena, or "Lori" as her friends call her, is The Queen of Mnemosyne, Queen of The Elysium Empire, Owner and CEO of Mandal-Elysium Arms, and is perhaps the most important person in the Empire, rivaling only Heath, Rex, and Veinstein. Loreena married Rex via an arranged marriage and ever since, MandalArms, The Empire, and The Arenais family have been closely linked.
Grand Admiral Burtch: Grand Admiral Burtch, the younger brother of Grand Admiral Keatoch, is perhaps the most dedicated admiral in The Empire. He gives everything he has to The Empire, and he gets everything The Empire has in return. He has won multiple victories, and trained an entire class of Naval Cadets. He is second only in the navy to his brother.
Grand Admiral Keatoch: Grand Admiral Keatoch is the defacto leader of The Entire Navy. When The Empire takes military action outside of its' borders, it is Keatoch that is sent. He has been named "Budget Thrawn", having won many victories. He has a natural aptitude for military combat, and has heavily studied the politics of The Empire due to his political aspirations. He is also highly respected on Mandalore for his year-long efforts to help rebuild the planet.
Andreus Veinstein: The Mad Scientist. Evil, but vital to The Empire in its' early days, Veinstein funded The Empire almost singlehandedly for a year. However with the ascension of Rex Valhoun, Veinstein has been forced into a less vital role.
Arken Dobson: Arken Dobson, head of The Dobsons, will be the downfall of The Empire. In the early days of The Empire, Arken's company, Dobson Logistical Consulting Firm, managed the funds of The Empire. This allowed his family to dig into every branch of The Empire, and they are yet to be removed.
