A Character Creation Guide
Below listed are some, not all, of the most prominent character types that have been popular over many years of roleplay. They are very much in line with the traditions, aesthetics and values of the Empire we are trying to portray and will offer plenty of hooks and opportunities to explore, expand and develop your character as part of a greater faction and story.

Stormtrooper Corps | Military
Frontline Soldiers of the Iron March
Play as a disciplined enforcer of Imperial order, trained to embody obedience, loyalty, and sacrifice. Whether a grizzled veteran of brutal campaigns or a fresh conscript seeking honor, Stormtroopers offer gritty, boots-on-the-ground military RP. Expect camaraderie, warzones, moral challenges, and harsh discipline. You are the face of the Empire’s might—unrelenting and unquestioning.

Imperial Navy | Military
Command the Empire’s Iron Tide
From proud captains to calculating strategists, Navy characters operate the great starships that project Iron-Imperial power across the stars. Naval RP focuses on duty, tactical excellence, and the prestige of serving in the Empire’s most intellectual and methodical branch. Expect space combat, political maneuvering, and the pressure of absolute expectations.

Imperial Knights | Force Users
The Sword of the Throne
Imperial Knights are force-trained warriors who reject mysticism in favor of rigid discipline and loyalty to the Empire alone. They are paladins of order—austere, merciless, and indoctrinated. Ideal for players who want to explore the Force through a militarized, de-spiritualized lens. Great for RP heavy on philosophical tension, elite combat, and moral absolutism.

Moffs & Warlords | Political
Governors of Iron Rule
Moffs are regional overseers charged with keeping their sectors efficient, loyal, and productive. This is the path for players who enjoy high-stakes political RP, intrigue, and managing the pressures of ruling in a totalitarian regime. Balancing loyalty to the Throne with personal ambition and managing unrest, rebellion, or corruption gives you ample narrative depth.

Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) | Agent and Intelligence
The Eyes of Order, The Knives in the Dark
Play as an intelligence officer, enforcer, or political commissar rooting out treason, inefficiency, and sedition. ISB RP leans into surveillance, interrogation, paranoia, and the moral greys of absolute loyalty. Ideal for spycraft, internal investigations, or ideological policing. You don’t just serve the Empire—you preserve it.

Imperial Special Forces | Military
Shadows of the Empire
Elite operators tasked with the most dangerous, classified, and deniable missions. Expect brutal realism, uncompromising loyalty, and close-knit brotherhood. Ideal for action-heavy RP with moral ambiguity and covert ops—assassinations, sabotage, deep infiltration. You are precision weapons in human form.

Imperial Ministries | Political
The Bureaucratic Engine of Domination
Civilian roles in sectors like Education, Infrastructure, Energy, and Information offer a unique take on Imperial service. Ministry RP is perfect for players interested in worldbuilding, politics, administration, and the logistics of running a galactic regime. These characters uphold the Empire through planning, reform, and relentless efficiency—not blasters.

Corporate, Industrial & Megacorporate Operatives | Capitalist
Architects of the War Machine, Engines of Autarky
Play as the ruthless magnates, logistics lords, or state-aligned industrialists who ensure the Iron Empire's economic self-sufficiency and unbroken war production. Focused on autarky, efficiency, and technocratic dominance, your role is to keep the machine running—whether by monopolizing planetary industries, overseeing supply chains, or navigating the fine line between state loyalty and private ambition.

Imperial Scientists & Technocrats | Science
Innovators of Control, Architects of Ascendancy
As part of the Empire’s cutting-edge research elite, you are tasked with developing next-generation technologies—military or civilian—that secure Imperial dominance across the stars. From superweapon prototypes and AI systems to planetary engineering and forbidden sciences, your allegiance is to progress, not principle; your work defines the very edge of control and conquest.
