Intergalactic Empire / IEMPIRE

The Intergalactic Empire is a multi-duty organization with the goal of building a self-sufficient empire that is well developed in all of the different professions in the soon to come StarCitizen universe. With its system of squadrons, divisions and squadrons each member can have the opportunity to dive into any preferred profession and form a team with other members of the empire and receive special missions and rewards to further his or her success as a true imperial!

Structure

The empire is divided into four different groups of professions; Military, Information, Economy and Industry. Each group is managed by a Viceroy who is charged with ensuring that his or her group is meeting the goals that are set by the Lord Emperor and the administration. Together with the different Overseers, that manage the different divisions of squadrons in the group, the Viceroy sets up different courses of actions for the group so it in turn can accomplish the empires desires.

The empire trusts in its members own judgment and ability to do the best of their own situation. That is why the empire encourage members to decide for themselves how they want to work with their own profession. Overseers and Viceroys will publish optional missions with a set rewards for members to accomplish. Only when the administration arranges special events or during serious situations can members be expected to follow direct orders. These orders most however be approved by the Lord Emperor to be considered as valid orders. Each members’ commitment level is only determined by individual availability and play-style; unless a member is holding a critical position that other members depend on. Members of the administration; the Lord Emperor, the Viceroys, Heads of Branches and Overseers have a set level of commitment that is based on their rank and duties.

In addition to the different groups of professions, the empire also has five different side branches; Diplomacy, Media, Human Resources, Preparatory and Sentinel. These branches focus on specific tasks and areas that includes and goes beyond in-game experience to enhance the empires effectiveness and to meet members’ individual interests. A member who is employed in a Group but also interested in working with internal affair such as politics and events are encouraged to do so.

For example, a member who works in the Military Group while also acting as an ambassador would then be a part of the Diplomacy Branch and work together with other imperial ambassadors to build relations with other organizations.
