“The ‘Verse is a majestic yet untamable place full of untold tales. The next great shot always lies around the corner, just as the next great story awaits to be written. This is IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC’s commitment. This is what we do—this is who we are.” —Bantam Cumberly, Editor in Chief

WE ARE TELLING THE ‘VERSE, ONE STORY AT A TIME

IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC strive to help people better understand the ever-changing ‘Verse they live in through a vast array of articles, magazines, portraits, coverages, documentaries, and interviews. IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC serves as an independent, non-profit publication since 2948, aspiring to become a journalism reference and act like a warm beacon of light amidst a ‘Verse of cold uncertainty.

AN INSTITUTION BORN FROM A VISION AND PHILOSOPHY

IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC aims to be a landmark for all of the ‘Verse’s Star Citizens. We pursue this goal through the inspiring content we produce, fostering both contemplation and debate. Our deep commitment to nature, the environment, and freedom of expression are values and qualities we are proud to uphold.

PUTTING OUR TEAMS ON A MISSION TO EXPLORE AND STUDY

IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC works toward the betterment of all mankind through the study of natural sciences, geography, archeology, culture and history, as well as the promotion of environmental and historical preservation. Our investigations and quest for knowledge often lead us to the farthest reaches of known space and into uncharted territories: we’re on a journey to capture the perfect shot, and its destination matters little.

TO TELL THE ‘VERSE’S STORIES

Full of unique people, our seemingly infinite ‘Verse is packed with countless stories waiting to be told: from day-to-day tales to life-changing occurrences, the complex events and profound transformations our Empire goes through can often seem difficult to fully grasp, sparking a quest for both sense and understanding. IMPERIAL GEOGRAPHIC ventures into the unknown to tell you the ‘Verse, one story at a time, and help you better understand it.

AND TAKE THE ULTIMATE DRAMATIC SHOT

Beauty can be seen, heard, or tasted. But more times than not, it is experienced. Through a masterful mix of composition, creativity and vision, we seek to convey a broad spectrum of emotions and exalt the ‘Verse’s enthrall. Our talented photographers keep drifting beyond the veil and into untamable landscapes, answering the call to capture the ultimate dramatic shot and stamp their legacy on the heavens.
