Imperial Restoration Initiative

The Imperial Restoration Initiative (short: The Initiative/IRI) is a wide collaboration and organization of various paramilitary, militaristic and humanity first groups within the nobility and the serfdom. The IRI was founded as underground movement shortly after the fall of the Blood Eagle.

While during recent events which comprised the public image of the IRI and House Aquila, the IRI distanced themselves from all groups responsible for the terror attacks and radical elements that openly highlight the Blood Eagle and her deeds within the organization and turning into a legitimate political party.

Regardless of this development is still assumed that the Initiative still has close contact and ties to other extremist parties and organizations loyal or affiliated to those.

Parties in a collaboration (in character and out of character) are encouraged to visit the Initiative's contact formular.

## History

### Founding of the Imperial Restoration Initiative

The first iteration of the IRI was driven by pure hate against the treacherous noble factions that fought against what they saw as the rightful emperox, the then Aquilan Empress Alejandra Ari , including the disloyal parts of House Aquila.

Back then the Imperial Restoration Initiative drew its main bulk of supporters from those still loyal to the Empress. They organized various campaigns and even attacks against enemies of the “True Empire” and for many years after the Blood Eagle's fall it was their goal to undermine and attack weakened political positions in favor of a more positive neo-eagleist outcome in political regards.

### The Era of the New Empire and the Cygnus Plot

Throughout the period known as the New Empire, the IRI changed from the former blood cultural aspects to a more militarist type of organization, while still embracing and legitimizing some of the reformations the Blood Eagle intended to bring to her Empire.

After the revelation of House Crux ’s investigation of the Cygnus Plot the IRI supported House Aquila in the fight against the rampaging synthetic legions and drifted away from its former totalitarian point of view. Once Cygnus was defeated, the IRI turned their attention to the growing threat of monopolies as they began to realize the direct threat to the Empire that ACRE resembled, especially since the founding of the STO .

During this time, the Imperial Restoration Initiative distanced itself from Blood Eagle cults and their public acts of terror, by disbanding all cells within the IRI that supported or worshiped the former Aquilan empress. Whilst still it is a belief within the IRI that the Blood Eagle intended a proper reformation of the Empire, they denounce the ways that this was forced upon the Empire's citizens and prefer a more open discussion about this topic within the Empire.

### The Common Era

Nowadays, the IRI stands for opposing the bureaucratic and corporate ideology as an imperial reformation. They denounce business practices as a form of government, being just tools for the legitimate government, and prepare for a intergalactic war against the mega-corporations and their allies. They organize shelters filled with supplies of weapons, equipment, and food for a long period of guerrilla type warfare based upon the concerns of the current dependence of the corporate monopolies for supplies.

For the preservation of the Empire, the IRI wants to keep the imperial structure at large but change its governmental form into a military regime to dismantle any greed and bickering within the noble houses, jealousy of the corporations, and dismiss the question of the Emperox. Which they believe is responsible for many of the issues and wars over the last many centuries.

The Imperial Restoration Initiative also adopted a new banner created for a more modern and strict style, using the form of the original logo as a basis. The new logo was reduced to three strictures of outward pointing tips as symbolism for the defense of the Empire.

## Policies

The Imperial Restoration Initiative categorizes their beliefs into three main strictures.

### Unity

The IRI focuses on a strict partnership and cooperation method within the whole Empire to ensure its safety and unity in times of crisis. Dissidents and critics are to be observed and and if necessary to be educated to guarantee a broad and widely present peace in the sector.

Based upon unity there is no real space for independence outside of the Empire. We aim to either subjugate or absorb opposing parties to either be loyal followers or be revoked from its political and physical influence. The IRI believes in a display of strength by militarizing the Empire with a strict but just rule and governmental system with a quick, military based enforcement of law.

### Equality

As times have repeatedly shown, there will always be someone who desires or envies nobility, lusts for power, or is willing to risk imperial unity with their actions. It doesn't matter if noble, serf, or freemen - everyone is a potential victim of this.

A good service for the Empire is what should be responsible for your privileges, if you are a honest worker you should be granted luxuries and civil rights. It is the Imperial Restoration Initiative’s long term goal to reduce noble privileges and raise the rights of common folk for broad support of their ideology to the point where at someday they may dismantle the caste system, potentially in its entirety.

### Humanity

As with the common belief and tenets of the High Church, the IRI believe in the superiority of mankind. Humans are equal, we all have souls and feelings, and our goal is the survival of our species. The IRI aims to keep a strong humanity first policy and maybe even to re-educate aliens capable of work as a fix for the labor crisis in exchange for the dismantling of the human caste system. Dissidents, Synthetics and Aliens are a threat to our survival and we promise to fight these threats to ensure our people a safe and well being.

## Organization

The Imperial Restoration Initiative is an umbrella term, for a loose group of independent cells, organised by a central group of anonymous individuals known as the Central Authority. They seeks to meaningfully direct discontented groups to replace the current government with one of their own choosing, preferably lead by the military and law enforcement.

The organisation seeks to replace the current form of government with an imperial military lead government and implement policies to reorganize and unify the Empire. Within the recent years they distanced themselves from violent solutions and instead focus on getting more and more recognition by mass media, public political influence, and provocative advertisement by promoting imperial unity, strength and equality by reforming the current caste-system.

## Buisnesses and Organizations

This section includes organizations and businesses partially or even totally controlled by the Initiative.

### ARMatius Military Armament and Equipment

*For more information, see Amatius Family Businesses*

Although not directly possessed by the movement, ARMatius Military Armament and Equipment is currently controlled by one or more members of the IRI on various important positions. In recent times the business is vastly increasing due to anonymous contractors.

### Centuri-O's™ Corporation

As the major producer of delicious and emboldening cereals, Centuri-O’s is one of the biggest businesses controlled by the IRI and provided the movement with a good and steady income due to its ever increasing market share. It is not certain how strongly involved the IRI is with Centuri O’s but it is assumed that it covers major positions at the corporation.

 What is your goal?
Furthermore we like to decrease the differences between nobles and non-nobles until we may disolve the caste system entirely. We are aware of the particularity of these goals, that is why we work and always have worked with nobles both external and internal to ensure a mutual agreement and potentialy a compensation by reeducating the non-humans to a considerable workforce. For that we’ve build our program on three strictures that lead our organisation.

Is IRI the “good” side?
IRI is a straight up militaristic party formed out of different subjugated cells with major influences of patriotism, paramilitary and nationalism. We’re pretty much a progressive right wing of the empire. From brainwashing the youth up to political infiltration, forceful persuasion and enslaving aliens we got you covered. The only things that IRI doesn’t do anymore because of previous problems with House Aquila and the past is acts of terrorism and Blood Eagle worshiping we’ve learned that lesson over a long time period.
 In four words how would you describe IRI?
Militaristic: A strong military and security presence ensures peace, purpose and order.
Rationalistic: The Empire has resources and it is our task to divert them appropriately for maximum efficiency.
 On a scale from current Empire to Blood Eagle how evil is IRI?
 What’s IRI’s deal? What are your plans?
* The Empire will continue to exist but will be converted into a military junta ruled by a mixed council of military and law enforcement.
* The noble Houses will be resolved or reformed to unify and strengthen the Empire and it is likely that we create multiple new factions within imperial authority.
* The Empire will be mobilized. A mandatory military and police service will be enacted.
* The Empire will be transformed into a police state.
* The voting for a single entity as leader of the Empire will be disbanded.
* The Empire will be turned into a secularian state. Political influence of religion in the government will be disbanded and ceased.
* A republican council will be constructed and representatives (likely of former noble houses) will be voted by the Empire’s citizen on a regular basis. The military and security council will be superior to that and able to intervene if necessary.
* A program to re-educate aliens for slave labor will be enacted to solve the current labor crisis and compromise for the dismantling of the current caste system.

 You want to get rid of the caste system like UPC? Why do you think the empire is flawed?
We likely would not resolve the caste system instantaneously because of backlash and chaos that would cause. We understand such drastic change needs time but we will continue to press for open discussion about this. We hope that this does not only bring us major support from imperial citizens (a.k.a. the majority of people in the sector) but also understanding and cooperation with nobles alike.
 Why aren’t you a subfaction of the UPC then?
 Why do you think nobles would agree to this at all?
We already are working with nobles to ensure that we can reach a mutual agreement and even have our internal Party of Imperial Nobles who work for a reformation of the Empire while keeping the caste system with changes intact. One potential compromise could be that the noble Houses represent the first republican council and fills other important political positions.
 What about the High Church/Church of Humanity, Repentant?
 What about the mass media?
 What are your plans for the Empire’s economy?
The current position of monopolies like ACRE, PRISM or even noble houses like House Vela and House Fornax to name a few are not sustainable. We intend to break those monopolies and ensure a fair and mutual beneficial market for our citizens and employers.
 Do you have alien/synth sympathizer cells?
 Do you use violence against alien sympathizers or others opposed to your believes and politics?
 I want to work collaborative on something with IRI, were can I contact you?
We do not promote various ways of contact through various discord servers and people since the past turns have shown that this only creates confusion, anger and frustration in many (not all) cases. We think it’s easier if you have one centralized place of contact and then get approached by someone of us who wants to help you.
