History: Humans arrived on the planet of Rusevia an unknown amount of time in the past. This was the result of a colonial expedition that suffered catastrophic system failures, and crash landed on the planet. It was not long before the Humans were able to settle themselves into a small, yet secure society. The original leaders of the expeditions went from Captains and officers to Kings and nobles. The transition from a crashed colonial ship to a real society was welcomed by the colonists, now citizens. The planet was named Rusevia by the newly crowned King. Hundreds of years passed as the planet of Rusevia and it's inhabitants continued developing. The Rusevians we able to build large cities in a short amount of time due to the resources the planet had. As the Rusevians expanded, so did their government. The Kings had begun calling themselves Emperor's and their number of vassals had grown exponentially. Things were not always peaceful, however, throughout the years multiple vassals have tried to sieze the Imperial throne for themselves, the most prominent being the Zadornov Independence War.
Following House Antipov's ascension to the Imperial Throne through an interesting turn in the line of succession many noble families bent the knee and accepted them as their liege lords. However, House Zadornov did not agree with the way in which House Antipov ascended to the throne. The Antipov-Zadornov rivalry did not begin here, it had already existed for many generations beginning when House Antipov was first created. The head of House Zadornov, Aleksandr, was the primary suitor for the daughter of the Emperor. When the Emperor instead chose to marry his daughter to the newly made Nobleman, it angered the Zadornov's to the core. When this slight came back to bite them again when the Antipov's were crowned Emperor, it was a step too far for the Zadornovs. The Zadornovs, who by this point ruled over a sector, declared their independence from the Empire. Maxim I, the newly crowned Emperor, was now faced with a great challenge. He knew that he must take action against the rebellious Velkynaz. The Emperor moved into the sector with a few thousand veteran Infantryman from the Imperial heartland, to reach what he called a "rapid resolution to the problem". As he and his men entered the sector, the Zadornov's were able to raise more than double that amount of men than the Emperor had brought. The Emperor could see the Zadornov forces fortifying their position on the highground across the Zoltin River. Maxim I ordered his second in command, and best friend Velkynaz Oleg Koskov, to take command of one-third of the Imperial Forces, and march them East away from the battlefield, and cross the river on the Zadornov flank. The Emperor explained that with the remaining forces he would launch a frontal assault on the Zadornov forces who would at this point outnumber them three-to-one. The attack began the following morning before the Sun had rose. The Zadornov army had been caught relatively offguard, however with the swift action of the Zadornov Velkynaz they were able to gain order in time to put up a defense against the frontal assault. The Zadornov's deployed their reserves early in an effort to make up for the men they lost during the surprise attack. This action proved to be in favor of the Zadornov's for a moment as they retook the advantage, cutting down many of the Emperor's soldiers. For over an hour the battle raged on in the center with the Zadornov army taking a clear advantage, however the sound of trumpets, and drums could be heard in the distance as Velkynaz Koskov arrived with his division on the rear right flank of the Zadornov army. The screams of the rear ranks of the Zadornov army could be heard in the center, it was not long before confusion had set into the relatively green troops that composed the Zadornov host. The Imperial center, who had been pushed nearly off the hill by now, launched a fierce counter-attack into the Zadornov army. The center of their army shattered and routed from the field of battle, the Imperial Army executed a pivot to the left flank and attacked the remaining forces left on the field from the Zadornov army. Over the next 2 hours the Imperial Army reconstituted itself, and began it's march toward the sector capital of Vitaminsk. The Emperor's arrival at the capital was received by the Zadornov family, the patriarch of whom surrendered his sword to the Emperor. The Emperor accepted the surrender of the Velkynaz, however his punishment was not severe, the Emperor only demanded that the Zadornov family swear fealty to the Antipovs. His demand was accepted by the Velkynaz, who in return was allowed to keep all of his lands and titles. The Zadornov Independence War brought about major military reforms for the Rusevian Empire. Maxim I ordered that a national military be established to be loyal to the Empire and the Emperor rather than each individual Velkynaz. This decision would greatly increase the power of the central government while lowering that of the Velkynaz, and lower vassals. Despite this, it was widely accepted and it was not long before the Empire would cultivate a great national military with many deep traditions.
Following the war with the Zadornov's things proceeded peacefully for centuries, as the Empire expanded it's control over the planet, and increased it's industrial and military power. The throne passed peacefully from Antipov to Antipov, with no wars of succession taking place. The Antipov's learned from the mistakes of the predecessors and have had large families throughout their rule. There has never been an official religion of the Empire, however all of that changed, two centuries past, when a priest-envoy from the Wuxian Empire arrived and preached of Yuyan, and the Fundamental Truth. Emperor Pyotr I and his wife Maria, immediately took to the envoy. Spending much of their time in the company of the company listening to him speak of The Fundamental Truth. During the Priest's stay on Rusevia, the Emperor converted and became an adherent of the Fundamental Truth, along with the entirety of the royal family. The Emperor asked that the priest-envoy travel throughout the Empire spreading the message of the Fundamental Truth to his people. Of course the Priest gladly agreed to do so, and within a few years a majority of the Empire had converted to the faith. Following the conversion the Empire has lived in relative peace, with a cultural shift that has the Government providing many programs to aid the poorer portions of the population.
Culture: The Rusevian culture places high value on noble customs, and military traditions. Most families within the Empire have had at least one family member serve in the Military at some point. The Rusevian nobility enjoy many luxuries, however for the most part they do not over indulge, and many share with the poorer members of society. However not all nobles are so benevolent.
