**House Bessier** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire. Founded in the immediate wake of the Decree of Galactic Expansion, House Bessier is considered to be one of the oldest and most traditional of the Noble Houses, having faithfully served the Empress on many colonies by enforcing Imperial Law in her name, and eventually forming a standing army that served the Empire for thousands of years – until an attempt was made to seize the Imperial Throne by Lord Bracas Bessier. Although details are sparse, it is known that Lord Bracas surrendered, signing over command of the House's armies to the empress and left Earth with renewed vigor to loyally serve the Empress that has since lasted generations.

The current head of the house is Lord Rowan Bessier.

House Vizac

**House Vizac** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire, founded in 2029 by Andrea Vizac. A wealthy house, their main focus is fruitful trade and, through a series of advantageous marriages, they have managed to secure planets nearby nearly every major jump gate. This allows them to have quick turnaround times when it comes to refueling and resupplying their vessels, and the tariffs they charge smaller traders to use their stations keeps them flooded with capital.

Their current head of house is Asher Vizac.

Languages in the Empire of Lethe

Although **languages** are as vast as the galaxy itself, everyone speaks a common language, referred to as the *Imperial Tongue*. Language education begins early in a Noble child’s life, and it's expected that those in Noble society speak multiple languages: the regional language common to their house, another regional language of either another sector or the sector of their non-ruling House parent, and a language of the individual's choice.
Bracas Bessier

Bracas Bessier was a former Lord of House Bessier. In 13902, he attempted a coup against the Empress and failed.

House Castelli

**House Castelli** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire. One of the largest houses, both in number of members and number of planets, they rose to major house status not with wars or money, but with a number of marriages that brought one or two planets into the fold at a time as part of someone's dowry or bride price, and each generation had more and more children that married to bring in more and more planets, until the Castelli laid claim to nearly 1/4th of the galaxy. But the sheer number of members means the house is likely to collapse under its own weight soon. As the common joke says, "If you see a woman with a gaggle of children in patched-over silk, you address her as Lady Castelli."

The current head of the house is Olivia Castelli.

## Home Planet and Sector

* **Sector:** Castelli
* **Capital Planet:** Iastre, located within Lynga 7.
* **Climate:** Owing to its unique rotation, the highs and lows of the planet are severe, with a thin goldilocks zone whose average surface temperature is 14°C (57.2°F).
* **Environment:** Its day and year length are the same: equivalent to 43 Earth days.
* **Notable features:** Thanks to its rotation and revolution being synced, one side of the planet is always facing Lynga while the other is eternally dark. To accommodate this, light- and climate-controlled dwellings exist in its vast frozen tundras and deserts, allowing the mining of its natural resources.
House Isline

**House Isline** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire. It is known for manufacturing jump gates and spaceships ranging from personal vessels to warships.

Fallout: New Orleans power armor

## Characteristics

Developed shortly before the bombs fell, the X-01 series of Power Armor was still in the prototype stages at the end of the Great War. Work was completed by remnants of the U.S. military after the bombs dropped. It offers superior protection to earlier models of Power Armor, but it has never been manufactured in large quantities, making it especially rare.

### Modifications

Each piece of X-01 Power Armor can accept three mods: an upgrade mod, one plating mod, and a system. All Unique X-01 Power Armor Upgrade Mods are installed with the Repair Skill. X-01 Power Armor can make use of all the normal system mods and all the normal plating mods apart from Winterized, and may also use the EMP Shielding plating mod, which is unique to X-01 Power Armor and is installed with the Repair skill:

Maa kheru

**Maa kheru** is a popular synthetic party drug, originating from the Dumoux sector. The chemical compound that gives maa kheru its effect is condensed down into dark purple rods about the size of a cigarette and smoked; the resulting high is based on the dosage, with tiny doses making the user feel slightly more awake and aware, while large doses are said to "open your mind to the truth of the galaxy" and "render the invisible visible." An overdose on maa kheru usually results in severe brain damage and can even be fatal.
House Astallac

**House Astallac** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire. Considered to be a minor noble house, it has served the Imperial family for generations in a more immediate capacity as household staff. The Empress elected to make them nobility so that the other houses would stop trying to pull rank when they attempted to enact the Imperial Will.

Cameron Hirinia

## Known History

Cameron Hirinia is known as an impossible-to-please perfectionist, whose attitude became worse following the death of her oldest child, Carson. Her attempts to control her second child, Calix's, life in the wake of this tragedy have driven a firm wedge between them.

Her love of plants has seen the Hirinia estate surrounded by botanical gardens, which are famous throughout the galaxy but require special permission to view in person.
House Penthia

Hans Weitz

**Hans 'Caveman' Weitz** is a former fighter pilot in the Imperial Armada and current head of House Weitz.

## Early History and Theatrical Warfare

Hans was born on the relatively poor planet of Vela B in the Bessier Sector. As a young man he entered into theatrical warfare as a pilot, eventually joining Taliesin the Radiant's forces. The high-profile team and Hans' aptitude as a pilot made him popular with viewers, and he was seen as a rising star on the theatrical warfare circuit. However, in 14333 he quit and joined the Imperial Armada as a full combat fighter pilot.

## Military Service and Return to the Public Eye

For the next four years, Hans all but disappeared from public life outside of reruns of old seasons. However, in 14337 during a well-televised small insurrection that eventually drew a response from the Imperial military, Hans again became a topic of public interest. He eventually joined a quad with Rupert Bessier, Brielle Ralte, and Falgeir Finnson and, through the quad's exploits, proved popular with viewers that had been fans or remembered him from his earlier career in theatrical warfare. He was often pointed to as an example of exemplarily Imperial patriotism.
Religion in the Empire of Lethe

A wide variety of **religions** exist across the colonized galaxy. However, there are so many different kinds that it's difficult to list them all. Religion is viewed throughout the empire as something deeply personal and isn’t typically discussed with people beyond immediate family and close friends. The only real exception for this is if an individual needs accommodations for religious rites and holidays.

In general, religious concepts of God(s), afterlife, the notions of “sin”, the notion of “grace,” and the notion of “salvation” are all concepts that exist; they simply may vary greatly from person to person.

## Cults

There are a number of cults throughout the galaxy, though their members tend to keep to themselves on remote, isolated planets where their influence is quite limited. The most renowned is the Cult of Imperial Divinity, with followers throughout the galaxy and a large number of adherents in the military. They believe the Empress is a divine entity who protects and watches over mankind, and that her residence on Earth within the Sol System makes them "sacred".

The cult’s beliefs are not universal among all members: while some believe that the nobility raised up by the Empress are lesser gods, others believe they are akin to a satanic or devil figure who prevent mankind from basking in Her Imperial Grace.

Temus Mevouillon

Temus Mevouillon is the heir to House Mevouillon.

A quiet young man who prefers to keep to himself, Temus spent the first twenty eight years of his life on his home planet, staying in his family's estate buried beneath piles of books. His grim demeanour and morbid interests often result in others finding him to be off-putting.
Lancelot Estielle

**Lancelot Oudinet Estielle** is a young but highly accomplished cosmetic surgeon and general practitioner. His prowess in the operating room and with some high-profile clients have afforded him a decent amount of fame, matched only by his frequent attendance at parties, clubs, concerts, and all manner of social events. Despite these habits, he's avoided any gossip or scandal that frequent the social circles he's dabbled in. Patients and peers have described him as cheerful, friendly, encouraging, and flirty to the receptive.

## Career and Work History

Lancelot has been involved in the medical field since his early teens. He graduated med school early, completed an experiential gap year, and participated in a medical residency after becoming accredited. Both programs had him installed at several different locations in sectors neighboring Estielle space.

In 14333, Dr. Estielle completed his residency and returned to his home sector. Though he still occasionally travels upon request for work, he is mainly in-house on Mineslia's beauty resort.
The Imperial Palace

Located in what little remains habitable on planet Earth, the **Imperial Palace** is home to the Empress, the Imperial Family, and the Imperial Household. As security is meticulously managed by the Ministry of the Imperial Household, travel to and from the planet is prohibited – as such, any communication, trade, or black market deals occur only because the Ministry permits it.

#### Planet Earth

Although The Imperial Palace considers Earth its home, the planet does not have a large population. Due to worldwide flooding, the only visible and habitable land masses are the highest mountains, leaving archipelagos throughout the world. The imperial Place is located on a large patch of land in what was once the Himalayan Mountains.

#### Ministry of the Imperial Household

It should be noted that the Imperial Household is not the same as the Imperial Family: the Imperial Household is made up of personal staff and attendants responsible for tending to the Imperial Family’s needs and security. Ministry members are primarily selected from steadfastly loyal members of House Astallac with history of the military/armada, though individuals from other houses can sometimes prove themselves loyal enough to receive an invitation – but such invitations are remarkably rare.

#### Contact with the Imperial Palace

Although there is a yearly holiday to celebrate the Empress, few members of major Houses will ever step foot in the Imperial Palace. Instead, the Palace will distribute notes printed on real paper to commemorate significant life events, such as births, deaths, marriages, and sudden tragedies. Should a House receive a note from the Empress, they kept as keepsakes and are displayed to show off that their family was, at one point, worthy of Imperial interest.

The Empress is keenly aware that her notes are viewed as a commodity and sometimes issues them to unexpected individuals to draw the interest of major political players. In a particularly noteworthy case, the Empress hand-delivered a missive to House Corbeau, expressing her disappointment that the House was encouraging their Heir to disregard his paramour in favor of a more politically advantageous match. Upon receiving this note, the House reversed course and consented to the marriage.
Winston

*"My name is King T'Challa, son of King T'Chaka. I am the sovereign ruler of the nation of Wakanda. And for the first time in our history, we will be sharing our knowledge and resources with the outside world."*
―T'Challa[src]
**T'Challa** is the King of Wakanda and the eldest child of T'Chaka and Ramonda. As the Wakandan monarch, he became the holder of the **Black Panther** mantle. Following the death of his father in the bombing attack orchestrated by Helmut Zemo, T'Challa had set out to kill the Winter Soldier, who was widely believed to be responsible for the attack. During his attempt to find the Winter Soldier, Black Panther had joined a Civil War between the Avengers, where he sided with Iron Man. However, Black Panther eventually learned that Zemo was really the one who had been responsible for his father's demise, as he captured Zemo, handing him over to Everett Ross, while he also vowed never to allow desires of vengeance to consume him again.

Upon returning into Wakanda, T'Challa was officially crowned King, before he attempted to track down Ulysses Klaue, who had resurfaced after several years. However, T'Challa failed to capture Klaue and instead was forced to bring Everett Ross to the city to save his life. T'Challa's leadership was challenged when Erik Killmonger, who was his cousin came into Wakanda, having killed Klaue and challenged T'Challa for their throne, as Killmonger bested T'Challa in a duel and took the crown. However, T'Challa had survived the duel and, with the help of M'Baku and his family, returned to Wakanda where he defeated Killmonger. Following the conflict, T'Challa returned to the United Nations as he had shared Wakanda's secret wealth with the rest of the world.

Black Panther was then called upon by the Avengers, as they had uncovered Thanos' plan to claim all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe. T'Challa agreed to allow the Avengers to keep Vision in the city, where Shuri could remove the Mind Stone. However, Wakanda was then invaded by Thanos' forces, as Black Panther had led his army against Thanos and the Black Order, only for them to be overpowered as Thanos completed his goal and then wiped out half of life, killing Black Panther as a result. However, Black Panther was resurrected five years later by Hulk, as he then joined the Avengers in a final battle against an alternate Thanos, finally defeating the Mad Titan, although Tony Stark sacrificed his life for victory. Following this, T'Challa returned to his kingdom and reunited with his sister and mother.
Glossary

This page serves as a glossary of terms for **players** to reference. Knowledge of these terms is considered OOC (Out of Character) until you learn them IC (In Character), but this should help everyone keep track of what's going on, and serve as a reference for the players who have learned them and the DM.

**Note:** there are many terms based on Ancient Egyptian, as is fitting within the scope of the game, but please keep in mind that these should not be taken as historical linguistic terms. While a great deal of research was poured into the game, the DM is not an Egyptologist and the terms should purely be viewed through the lens of entertainment meant to contribute to an immersive experience.
Taliesin the Radiant

**Taliesin the Radiant** is an infamous General, known for being undefeated on the battlefield in Theatrical Warfare and for his showmanship while commentating during recaps of live feeds. He currently resides in the Isline Sector.

## Arrest and Pardon

As part of a publicity stunt to bring the Empress flowers, Taliesin once piloted a small shuttle to dodge the Imperial Blockade surrounding Earth. Following his arrest, many feared he would be executed for his actions; however, during his hearing, the Empress sent a card granting him a full pardon and allowing him to return to his career in Theatrical Warfare. He hasn't tried such a stunt since.

1. The Empress
2. The Heads of Houses
3. Other members of the Houses

## Methods of Address

*Generally,* here's a few key rules as they apply to player characters, who are all nobles of roughly equal rank.

* The Empress is always spoken of with at least some reverence. Generally, people will say "The Empress" or "Her Imperial Majesty" when speaking of her.
* Heads of *other* houses are referred to as Lord/Lady [House Name]. So if you are *not* in House Bessier, for example, Rowan is called "Lord Bessier."
* The head of your *own* house is generally referred to by Lord/Lady [First Name]. So members of House Bessier would refer to Rowan as "Lord Rowan."
	+ **Caveat to this**: If the head of the house is your parent, you may simply call them by family titles like "mom/mother" or "dad/father." However, if you want to emphasize their rank when talking to someone else, you might refer to them as "my lady mother," or "my lord father" to really hammer down that whole "my parent is the head of the house" angle.
* Other nobility with whom you are not well acquainted are Lord/Lady [First Name]. Since Orion Penthia (for example) is not the head of House Penthia, it is fine to call him "Lord Orion."
* If you know each other passingly well, or wish to not convey the respect of a title, first names are fine.
* Servants are generally addressed by their first name, and treated respectfully.
* A servant that serves another household will generally call you my lord/my lady (**Note:** *household* in this instance means a specific estate, not the house as a whole.)
* A servant that serves your household directly will generally just call you "sir" or "miss."
* Non-noble members of the military are often referred to by their rank.

The way these rules are followed or flouted can both imply how much the addresser respects addressee and how emotionally close they feel: someone you don't know well calling you by your first name is disrespectful whereas someone you know well calling you by your first name is a sign of your relationship. Someone you know well using your title is usually a sign you've pissed them off in some way, whereas someone you don't know well using your title is courtesy (This is where empathy rolls will come in handy).

House Novilliers

### Environment

Average surface temperature is 59°F/15°C. The sky and natural light of the planet are varying shades of purple.

**House Novilliers** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire. Raised up from the ruins of House Aguefort after they tried to refuse the Empress's latest decree, Novilliers is one of the newest noble houses. As such, they must fight to find their place among the older, far more established Houses. While some Houses accept them for their longstanding devotion to the Empress and are pleased to see them finally rewarded for their service, others see them as up-jumped commoners, vulturing in on the death of an ancient and storied house that dared to stand up for itself.

The current head of the house is Lord Tristan Novilliers.

## Home Planet and Sector

* **Sector**: Novilliers
* **Capital** **planet**: Porfyro, within the Djor 1 system.
* **Climate**: Similar to the biomes of ancient Earth, Porfyro boasts a similar average surface temperature of 15°C (59°F).
* **Sidereal** **time**: One Porfyran day is equivalent to 97 Earth days, while a year is equivalent to 7 Earth years.
* **Notable features**: Due to the chemical makeup of its mesosphere, the planet's sky and natural light is various shades of purple, which can have psychological impacts on off-world visitors, lasting a few weeks to the rest of their lives.

Space Travel

## General Travel Procedures

The Empire of Lethe exists in a setting with FTL ("Faster Than Light") travel. This is accomplished through the use of gates, and — generally — all space travel follows this procedure:

1. Ship is loaded up via shuttles at the point of origin.
2. Ship travels through normal space to the nearest jump gate. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the distance.
3. Ship sends their manifest and paperwork, and requests a jump gate address from the Imperial Armada at the Shell.
4. The Shell replies back with an available jump gate at the Shell (sometimes just called a "shell gate").
5. Ship inputs the Shell Gate address and proceeds to jump.
6. Ship spends a few minutes in subspace before exiting at the Shell.
7. An Imperial Armada shuttle docks with the ship, and it is inspected by the officers aboard to make sure things are in line with the provided manifest.
8. If everything is correct, the officer in charge of the Armada Shuttle gives the Ship's captain their clearance code, and the Imperial soldiers depart.
9. Ship turns around, and inputs their destination address as well as the clearance code from the Armada.
10. Ship jumps to their destination gate.
11. Ship spends a few minutes in subspace before exiting at their destination gate.
12. Ship travels through normal space to their destination, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the distance.
13. Ship is unloaded via shuttles at their destination.

Most ships capable of doing subspace jumps are in excess of 1000 meters in length, and require specialized docking stations outside of a planetary orbit. As such, they're quite expensive and smaller shuttles are relied upon to travel to and from larger ships and docking stations.

## Ship and Station Naming Conventions

All crafts are prefixed with a title referencing the organization to which it belongs:

* IAS: Imperial Armada Ship
* IADS: Imperial Armada Docking Station
* IASS: Imperial Armada Space Station
* H[x]S: House [Name] Ship
* H[x]DS: House [Name] Docking Station
* H[x]SS: House [Name] Space Station

Following this prefix is the actual name of the vessel. For example, the Space Station closest to the Shell is named *Horizon*. As such, it is designated as *IASS Horizon*.

Should a ship or space station have smaller crafts, like fighters or drones, a secondary name will be attached alongside a number within its group. Using *IASS* *Horizon* as an example: the space station has a band of 9 fighter crafts used to patrol part of the Shell, called the "Nova" team. As such, their individual fighter crafts are named *IASS Horizon - Nova #* where the number denotes the pilot's rank. *Nova 1* would refer to the commanding officer, and all members of the commanding officer's Quad would pilot ships that end in 1.

## Piracy

Even in this day and age, Piracy has not been eliminated from the Empire of Lethe. Pirates generally attack ships before they hit their nearest jump gate, or after they've exited the jump gate in their target sector.
Imperial succession

The **Imperial Succession** is in play between the death of one Empress and the Ascension of the next. This time is generally divided into three phases. A certain amount of violence between Candidates and their Khnemu is expected during a succession, and excused by Imperial Law.

## Initial Campaigning

In the first phase of the Imperial Succession, Candidates either put themselves forward, or are put forward by others for the Throne. This is usually accompanied by those who *want* the position campaigning for themselves. It should be noted that a Candidate can be offered to the Throne against her will if the other Candidates select her.

## Candidate's Council

Once the campaigning has narrowed the field to 3-4 Candidates, the Imperial Arbiter will convene the Candidates in the Cloister for voting. There are usually multiple rounds of voting and campaigning during a council. While a Candidate's Khnemu are not permitted a vote, they often wield significant influence over the Candidates they are close to.

## The Offering

Once an Empress has been selected by the Candidates, she is offered to Mehen (*the throne*). If he accepts her, she is the new Empress. If he doesn't, the Candidates return to the Council to select someone else.

## The Call

The exception to all of this is if Mehen chooses to *call* a Candidate. In that instance, the Candidate in question is supposed to put herself forward and see if there are objections to her ascension. If not, she will go and offer herself to Mehen. This protocol is rarely followed, however, as few Candidates actually wish to be Empress.
House Corbeau

### Environment

Few natural environments remain; those that do are primarily gardens and terraces. Average temperature is 71F.

**House Corbeau** is one of the many Noble Houses in the Empire. Although a relatively minor house, it is home to numerous luxurious vacation resorts across their planets.

While the current Head of House is Sotiris Corbeau, its heir, Tomas Corbeau, manages the family's affairs following an accident that left him incapable of doing so.

## Home Planet and Sector

* **Sector**: Corbeau
* **Capital** **planet**: Merenid, within the Larone system.
* **Climate**: Although the average surface temperature is 71°F (22°C), Merenid sees highs of 160°F (71°F) and lows of 2°F (-17°C).
* **Sidereal** **time**: Each day is just shy of three Earth days, at 71 hours; each year is equivalent to 7 Earth years.
* **Notable** **features**: The entire planet is a single city, traversed by an expansive rail system. As such, the few natural environments that remain are small gardens and terraces owned by the wealthy.
Nikodemus Penthia

**Nikodemus "Nik" Penthia** is the Lord of Penthia's sector, and father of Orion Penthia.

## Nikodemus Penthia

### Relatives

Rosaline Penthia (*Deceased*)
Orion Penthia (Son)

## History

Rumor has it that, when Nikodemus's then-wife Rosaline was injured in a hunting accident, she did not receive the best-possible care because he was still pining for Telira Bessier, who had rejected him in favor of Rowan Bessier.

Paper Scarcity in the Empire of Lethe

For most people in the galaxy, the production of **paper** is seen as a long, time consuming process that involves gathering plants, shredding them down, mixing them with water, and pressing them into flat sheets. This produces something similar to papyrus, but it's long and involved, and considered to be not worth it when easily accessible digital solutions exist.

The only production facilities for paper are located somewhere on Earth; House Polaris has additionally locked down the process and requires a quality akin to that of craft paper. This makes the process even more arduous and time-consuming, to the point where no other House sees it as worth the effort. Only Polaris can afford the man power and resources to do it.

This is why marks of Imperial favor or important messages (such as the Hostage Decree) are usually delivered on paper.
