The Galactic Terran Imperium is the ancient ark of mankind and civilization in the infinite wilderness of the Universe and the Milky Way Galaxy. It has sustained itself for tens of thousands of years and there is no sign of withering as it steadily flourishes, colonising new worlds, achieving new technologies and milestones.

It is by far the largest faction of mankind in the galaxy, although there are thousands of splinter groups, some loyal to the Imperium, some neutral, some archenemies and all manners of variety in between.

Furthermore it holds the ancient cradle of humanity itself, the homeworld Terra, which functions as its capital, and the Sol System where humanity began its first steps into the realm of space. As such the Imperium is the origin point for all human space exploration and colonization, be it recently or tens of millennia ago, and be it small city-sized colonies or interstellar realms rivalling a Great House of the Imperium in Power.

The Imperium's Core Territory consists of a 50 lightyear-sized radius around the Sol System, called the Sol or Terran Sector, which contains many Star Systems and Planets, most of which are held by Great Houses. Outside of that there are myriads of further space colonies, some being in the same Galactic Region as the Sol Quadrant and some far away in distant Regions.

The Galactic Terran Imperium is organized into a **Feudal System** of noble-born pureblood **Houses**. Capitalism and the Personal Interests of the Houses together with a sufficient distance between Great Houses and the Emperor as the centerpiece for control and management of the entire Imperium make for a efficient organization, which explains the prolonged and ongoing perseverance of the Imperium as it is yet to succumb to war from the outside of intrigue from within.

Of course nothing is perfect, and so the Imperium has had its fair share of crises from within, from Great Houses rebelling and leading parts of the Imperium astray over financial crashes to alien invasions.
