The Reformation and Reorganization of the Imperium & the Start of the Reclamation Crusades

Founding

176 years after the fall of the Davidic Lineage and the period of warring states within the Imperium of Midgard, order was returned to the shattered Imperium with the emergence of the House of Zion, led by Heir Select Judah David the 27th. It was Lady Judah who established the three cornerstones of the new empire, the Crown, the Imperial Government, and the Faith, and restructured the entire imperium into what is more commonly recognized today. Lady Judah was officially recognized by the newly formed congress, The Imperial Congressional Body, on the planet Jalal Al-Amal in the Isharaat Al-Arsh Star System. She was crowned Summa Imperatrix of the empire and the new Clan, Azuma Rhati, became the ruling power.   While shattered, various sections of the Imperium had strayed from the path of Order and many refused to submit back to Imperial Rule, sparking the Reclamation Crusades which sought to bring the majority of the cosmos back under the Empress' rule. The Starguard, the Imperial Department of War was charged with leading this effort under the command of the newly appointed Minister of War, Lord Saint-Guillermo Yurievichi.   This new Crusade was in direct violation of the Tractatus Salomonis (Treaty of the Solomons) signed in 2628 by the then-sitting ruler, Summus Imperator Jedidiah "Solomon" David with King Solomon Pendragon of the Camelot Kingdom. The Tractatus Salomonis forbid the Imperium from expanding past 65% control of the cosmos but Summa Imperatrix Judah the 27th argued that this treaty was signed with a ruling power, the House of Kings, that no longer ruled and bound a government, the Imperium of the First Men, that no longer existed. Empty threats from Camelot would not stay her hand.
