Imperium Omicronis (also called: "The Empire of the Omicrons", "Omicron Empire" or "Core Empire"), is young state found from The Core of the Bounty Hunter Guild; the former elite of the guild.

The Imperium is shorted by IO or Core and is shown as Bounty Hunter Guard on Space's Navmap.

Description

Omicronis was nought but a small collection of ideals and beliefs when the topic was discussed between veterans in the, now gone, Bounty Hunters Guild Core. The BHG Core proclaimed greatly that it was their duty to lay down the foundations for a Core Empire starting within eastern Sirius, however they had done little to no progress in achieving that nor making the ambition concrete.

With the inception of The Core, Erik Nodtviet and his Guildkeepers finally decided to bring those dreams to fruition. The Core had grown far larger than the mere Private Military Company it was several decades ago. It had blossomed into a Paramilitary, keen to defend those unable to defend themselves throughout the Edge Worlds. These ideals attracted sympathetic idealists and others willing to fight for what The Core believed in, allowing The Core to grow even more.

An essential requirement of a state however is having a suitable colony to house your citizens. Although some of The Core's stations were very suitable for housing civilian personnel (see: Durban Station), what it needed most was a Planet.

When The Core began its invasion of Planet Nauru in 817 A.S, these desires were answered. Over the next several years, they would build upon the settlements and work the previous Corsair, Zoner and Order settlers had done before them. They would flood the Planet with their own civilian personnel, as well as encourage the migration of foreign citizens who shared their cause. By the dawn of 823 A.S, Nauru had amassed over 200,000 civilians. A slow, but otherwise progressive start to the realisation of Omicronis. Within the year The Core seek to construct a docking ring, so that their numbers can swell once more.

And through Iridium, The Core boosted its profits in the Edge Worlds immensely. They had asserted the vast majority of control over the Iridium market, becoming a major producer and supplier of armour, hull plating, anti-matter weaponry and Iridium itself throughout all of Sirius. The lucrative profits harvested from their multitude of exports are beneficial to the Imperium Omicronis war machine.

With the establishment of Athenia City, The Core declared the 'Imperium Omicronis' (translation: Empire of Omicronis, from Latin).

With several Omicrons still set on their sights for expansion, as well as the recently established connection to the Sigmas, The Core seeks to grow and expand Imperium Omicronis beyond its current borders. However, the recent interdiction of The Order into Omicron Delta has proven to be an annoyance, but The Core is confident that it will flush The Order out of Dabadoru and continue being the supreme authority within the system.

Controlled and contested space

The Imperium controlls most parts of Delta and Rho but claim all parts of the Omicrons for themselves.

Government and politics

Imperium Omicronis is a totalitarian state. The Core sees no limits on its authority, and thus strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible. The media is state controlled, and the only political party is the one led by the Guildmaster. Power is asserted power through an all-encompassing propaganda campaign, which is distributed throughout all of the Edge Worlds. The Guildmaster employs political repression, personality cultism, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of speech, mass surveillance, and if needed widespread use of terror i.e public executions.

Imperium Omicronis itself is led by the Guildmaster. Their full title however is Lord Emperor Guildmaster. Also known as Exalted Guildmaster.

Arms

Arms are forbidden for non-paramilitary personnel when either planetside or on Core installations. Imperium Omicronis feels that lack of armament is best for citizen safety, and will minimalize civic casualties - as well as prevent dissidence towards authority.

Welfare

Imperium Omicronis strongly believes it has the right to dictate how a citizen should live their lives. Necessities are provided, i.e Healthcare is provided freely with services such as the H+ Clinic (however often visitors will leave with a mechanical augmentation as those procedures are encouraged). But liberties such as food and water must be purchased by the citizen. As well as comfortable and highly quality living within regulated settlement sectors on Planet Nauru. Living sectors are defined by income. The Core pays for housing, but The Core will uproot its citizens from their homes if their income drops and they no longer qualify for it. Jobs are state regulated, and citizens are mostly encouraged to pursue either science or military careers in The Core, or perhaps look at more manual labour such as Iridium mining operations across Planet Nauru. Other jobs do exist, but emphasis is not placed on them as strongly as the aforementioned.

Justice

Public executions in Imperium Omicronis are commonplace. Trials are often conducted in accordance with the Core Oath.

Civil Liberties

The Core does not discriminate based on sexual orientated, gender or race, but rather on ideals. Those who do not share the same beliefs as the state are frowned upon, and will be dealt with via the government if they do not fit in with its policies. Hostile entities are outright regarded as sub-human filth, and citizens are actively encouraged to create discriminating material against them.

Foreign Policy

As stated earlier, Imperium Omicronis encourages its citizens to make defamatory material and propaganda against its enemies. And even to a degree against unaligned entities that have not pledged support to The Core. Imperium Omicronis is imperialist, and is actively seeking to expand it's territories. Within its own reach, Imperium Omicronis also encourages The Core to intervene with external politics and disputes if it may result in a beneficial outcome for Imperium Omicronis.

Economy

The Imperium is a young state that has enemies on all sides. Besides that they controlls the largest and only notable field of Iridium Ore in Sirius. The export of this Iridium is the main source of income for the Imperium. Additionaly the Core makes monry by bounty and plundering of Hispanic and Order lawn. The Imperium has collected on of the largest databases and collections of Nomad Tech; only the four sirian houses and the Order may have more. Sometimes they sell minor part of their alien loot, but this is just rare. Actually the Zoners are the only traders that reach the Imperium and import food, metal and more. The main trading point is Freeport 11.

The only industry-company in the Imperium is the AP Manufacturing; a daugther of IC that products the military ships of the Core in Omicron Rho.

Foreign relations + Crime and dissent

Imperium Omicronis is set in the middel Omicrons between the Nomads, Order Sigmas, Corsair and Maltese space. They came as invaders after the Nomad War and etablished their empire on the other's costs. Because of that the Core is in war with each of its neighbors.

The Zoner and the Imperium get along with each other but not allways friendly.
