## Origins

The origins of the Imperials are unclear, we know it started as a friend group playing 2b2t, and as the years passed, the group evolved on different servers. At this time, there was no structure for groups, they consitisted of friends and sidekicks playing together for fun. We have knowledge of an old Imperial base from that time called Laten.

Imperials as a structured group settled on 2b2t in 2016. A division was formed but quickly died. It is during this time that Titus and Merick (also known as MrCK10) joined the Imperials, they would later become very important members of the Empire. (divisions back then were the same as a branch but different naming scheme). Imperials would only come back 3 years later under MrCK10's leadership.

## The Imperials' 2b2t branch

In early 2019, BeezIsCool, a member of the Imperial, was looking to expand the Imperials on 2b2t. Merick, the Emperor at the time, was willing to bring back the old division system the Imperials used back when lego and Titus were leading the group. Beez did not want to pay for priority so the branch quickly died with the Imperials Dreams to come back on this server. Although, the early efforts of the branch were still notable. Despite the queue, Beez made several bases for the group and merged with a small clan named Team Carrot. Imems was one of the first members of the branch.

As the Imperial Dominion on AMC was ending due to the admins resetting the server, Merick bought priority queue and went on 2b2t to start the branch. He started looking for and recruit Newfriends. He did some basics and was able to bring in equipment from the stash that Beez and Imems had made. Around that time, Etika started a series on 2b2t, Merick created an imperial subgroup called #TEAM ETIKA and recruited Newfriends at the spawn. The group quickly became the official group for all ETIKA fans on 2b2t while the Imperial branch remained small, MrCK10 ran the the subgroup to guide the Etika followers on 2b2t. When Etika died, the discord was deleted, and its leaders invited to the private imperial discord. Davidprydain, a former Resistance leader

Merick saw that he was already in a 2b2t group and offered him a position to lead the 2b2t division. David accepted the offer and became the durion (leader of one branch of the imps) for 2b2t. The Imperials merged with several smaller groups like "Team Carrot".

At this time, brickzebra was recruited into the Imperials by David and became one of the most active members of the branch. The private discord of the branch had less than 15 members. It turned out that brickzebra was leading a former Team Baguette group on 2b2t with three times more members than the branch. So it was proposed to make it an imperial division, merick , and David agreed (Imperial French Division was formed. It was then completely merged on the 30th of August 2019 with the Imperials of 2b2t. The 2b2t division of the Imperials was quite inactive at that time, brickzebra was promoted to Legate after the merge, and he started to lead the group on the server. He recruited promising people at the spawn and organized bases, abattoir (later known as Arbiter\_), Apiot and Yoblana were amongst the first members.

After getting Legate in imperials, only 2 weeks after joining, brickzebra decided to help imperials more, DavidPrydain was elected Emperor as Merick was trying to make the group "more democratic". Brickzebra was chosen as 2b2t Centurion on September 10th 2019. Helped by Apiot, who would later become the 2b2t branch Optio, brickzebra made the 2b branch bigger and more active, it quickly became the most active division of the Empire, in front of 9b9t and 0b0t. The baguette members all joined the Imperials and were added to the bases.

The branch gained around 50 members in 1 month, the first 3 bases got griefed after some weeks, one remained (Recruit Outpost was the biggest one, Outpost Redtail the smallest, and Fort Redtail the one that survived long) David and brickzebra tried to make relations with other groups on 2b2t, such as the Gulag and several other groups on 2b2t. As the branch grew, it got its own recruiting discord separated from the main imperial discord.

Because of some Merick)'s decisions, the branch became the center of attention on 2b2t, the group started being involved in big dramas. Imperials decided to join the SGA, Small Group Alliance of 2b2t, led by Bachi, leader of the growing infinity incursion, which was still quite small at the time. Bachi was trying to take over groups and impose rules on them through the SGA. An alliance was made, announced to public on September 29 2019, known as the Infinity Empire.

Merick, brickzebra, Davidprydain and ScoobyDooPimp decided to go against this organsisation and plot on 2b2t. When Team No Trees was made, Merick founded another sub group known as Team Trees. With this group, Imperials were able to gain more influence and annoy Soiled Cold, the founder of Team No trees. The 2b2t Imperial Branch slowly became public and moved its applications directly on the branch discord. The Imperials trusted had started to build the Imperial City main base, a project which would never be finished, but that the Imperials would use as propaganda to sh1tpost and motivate.

Christmas arrived, and Merick decided to inside and grief bsb's Christmas base to get revenge from Imems. From this point, 2b2t Imperials started going downhill, with group dramas, and getting insided by several groups including Emperium and BsB. The branch was gaining members, again and again, the recruitment was stopped every 2 weeks, but it was too late, the group was already insided.

A group known as Byzantum, led by CerealWithNoMilk, was allied with Imperials. MrCK10 made a deal with them, to inside BSB for Imperials, and in exchange, the group would merge with the Empire and their members get good rank. They did inside BSB, but Cereal decided to play on both sides and help BSB to troll imperials. (in the end, Cereal insided BSB and griefed few of their bases).

For three months several of our bases were destroyed, including Asteria, Markath, Winterhold, Bravil. BSB was on a griefing spree against Imps, and it seemed like imperials were about to die, but the branch was still strong and standing. But the dramas surrounding Imperials on 2b2t, including the pedo drama, made many members reconsider their position and betray the group. Jalapeno leaked Asteria, its main builder Lillyofthevally (CircuitScribe) left to setup a refuge few thousands blocks away. This outpost stood for over a year and was later used to build Asteria II. Bravil was renamed "Bravil Main Base" in the discord to lure BSB, which they fell for.

The pedo drama was pedo allegations against MrCK10, started by Soiled Cold and Ciroc drip, after Finn Fry sent what they said was CP (Finn Fry later admitted to have lied) and Merick refused to delete it. It quickly spread accross 2b2t, and new rumors were made. Sato decided to include MrCK10 in his 2b2t police video. Merick took this occasion to troll him, and make meme groups such as Club Pinguin and Pizza Club. His aim was to make Sato mad.

During the last months of the branch, a trusted player and friend of brickzebra was ranked in Optio and became administrator, he was called Gabs12, He helped the branch to survive, finding ten insiders. He was the one who came up with the idea to make an alliance with bsb, seeing that our group was going to die, that they were surrounding us, and that many dramas were affecting the Imperials at the same time, A council was held for two weeks with the bsb higher-ups to find a solution. brickzebra refused the alliance they proposed because it was obviously a troll, they proposed admin perms in their discord in exchange of admin perms in the Imperial discord.

Eventually, Gabs12 got tired of the Imperials because of all the drama, and because he had a conflicts with MrCK10. He decided to give bsb admin. On March 1, 2020, the division was nuked. This also led to brickzebra realizing he was too Kind and chill with randoms.

Mage123, a low rank of the group, became the leader of the branch and led its revival, he made stashes for the Imperials, organized bases and grew the group, Jalapeno was brouht back to the group, and Jesse, alongside several others decided to help imps. The branch slowly grew for few months, he ended up nuking it in June and revealing he was FamilyFriendlyFrog alt from BSB, and had been insiding for 8 months. On 20th June 2020 Jalapeno690 became the Centurion of the 2b2t Imperial Branch. At this point, the overall Imperial Leadership had greatly changed and was composed of clone players from other branches. brickzebra had also left 2b2t to help on Salc1 anarchy, 0b0t and other clones. The branch had few projects started and few bases thanks to Jalapeno efforts to revive the Imperials. brickzebra came back few times in August to make new bases.

In December 2020, the 2b2t branch revival started, Jesse and brickzebra opened new bases for the group and gathered few stashes. They started recruiting more and more. On 5th January 2021, Jesse because the new Centurion of the 2b2t Imperial Branch. From March 2020 to March 2021, the area was essentially dead. There were activity spikes in July, December/January but none were conclusive enough for the group to survive in the long term. The first loads of members joining were added to a base known as Woodkeep, brickzebra and Jesse would bond with the newly added members. Slowly, few of them came to the top On the 22nd of May 2021, Frogdog and Super(MaxRockatSky) were promoted to Optio of the branch and started working hard to make it active, hold events.

Super, also known as Max, quickly showed a lot of interests in the group and its history, he was an active player and a good builder. He gave Imperials many good relations, and hosted events such as building a massive 150 block tall toilet with help from other imperials at the imperial sanctuary base (located -17k, 8k). He replaced Jesse as the Centurion of the branch sometime in the early summer of 2021. Max recruited a lot and gave back Imperials a name on 2b2t. He started a project known as PISS, Project Imperial Sky Structure, essentially an giant Dragon Logo over spawn. However, Max was a troll and an anti normie, he loved to meme about neo nazi stuff. Few leaders of the branch, ACABMichael and Toska, decided that he was harming the group and adding wrong people at bases. They started making dramas and approximately 2 months after Super became Centurion, he was replaced by Toska and ACABMichael and kicked from the group. They quickly continued Max Projects and added a point system to the branch, to reward members and manage ressources/stashes.

## Project Imperial Sky V1

Originally suggested by penisballs22, the project was comprised of just over 1 million obsidian and was built in the North West quadrant to the left of the tip of the Spawn Mason logo. A discord server was made on the 16th October 2021 and PIS V1 was planned and constructed over the months of October and November of 2021.

The project took just over a month to build and the top builders were Toska at 310,000 blocks placed and Ryguy at 140,000 blocks placed. The top ender chest miners were Super and Toska who mined the vast majority of the ender chests.

## Project Imperial Sky V2

As of January 2022 this project is still in its planning stages.

## Crisis of December 2021

In December 2021 major changes struck the Imperials. Controversial National Socialist Super (AKA MaxRockatasky) was removed from 2B Centurian after a series of failures that lead to giant lapses in security. Super was given the title Praetor and was to remain as an advisor until his thirst for power became too strong. After being made Praetor, Super continued making mistakes. One by one Super lost his discord permissions to prevent any more security risks In a childish rage, super chose to lash out at Tanzinator, demanding administrator privileges, but Tanz, a High ranking Imperial from 9b9t, stood strong and told super no and to earn his privileges back.

It was at this point Super threatened to leak all coordinates of Imperial bases and stashes. Out of them all, only Aqueous 2 and a stash which only Super himself used was griefed which mean that Super didn't have much bark to his bite. Aqueous 2 was raided by Orsond who attempted to use doctored screenshots to blame another member who never had access to Aqueous 2 for the leaked coords. The next day a stash that only super had access to was self griefed in a frail attempt to get the Imperial back additionally super attempted to Bot our Discord server in another fit of childish rage. Thanks to the swift actions of Jesse the problem was thwarted. In the end, the Imperials stand stronger under the new leadership of Toska and ACAB Michael as centurions of the branch who were previously serving as Optios. The 2b Imperials look forward to a new era of prosperity and friendship. However, in order to make room for progress, ACABMichael decided that those who support the self-claimed Neo-Nazi Super had to be removed as well.

The Emperor of the group at the time, retired on October 19 2021, making brickzebra his heir. Although, brickzebra himself had issues IRL and exams to prepare, and could not be as active as before. He let Michael gain more influence. ACABMichael quickly started making dramas against the Imperial High Ranks, because he was power hungry and did not want them to go in his way. brickzebra was his first target, as he owned the discord. He blamed on brickzebra the reason Imperials were hated on 2b2t and as he had been in the 2b2t imps for a while, easily manipulated other members into following him. HenkieMC, a wholesome member of the group, told brickzebra that Michael would not stop, and that it would only get worse. brickzebra, decided to ban him, but other high ranks went against the decision and reinstated him. From now on, ACABMichael had gotten an evergrowing hatred for brickzebra, and wanted him gone by all means. To calm down tensions, brickzebra transferred the ownership of the branch to scoobydoopimp, an old imperial from 2018. brickzebra was replaced by Tanzinator as Emperor, who let 2b2t branch do its own things.

Toska and Michael saw an opportunity to make their own group and end the tensions with imps, by asking for the autonomy of the branch, all high ranks refused, and dramas grew for weeks, until they both left with all the active, leaving imps nearly empty, dead, and poor. Nevertheless, Imperials survived once again. Free from the dramas Merick had caused, free from Max's consequences (who was not entirely gone) and free from Michael, the group was able to rebuild itself slowly.

brickzebra was reinstated as emperor on 15 March 2022, after Meldarion resigned. The branches of the group were divided, small, inactive, and much needed to be done to make the Imperials great again. The Imperials had just come out of a 2 year period of Dramas, which had had its ups and downs, great bases had been created, great projects, but much had been lost, and the group had not been stable as a whole.
