Below is found the coronation date and the date of the death of every Emperor from October 1997. It is recognized that there are three imperial time-periods: The Dark Years; The Rule of Piett; and The New Order. An explanation of each era is provided. Few remember the years before the period now known as the Dark Years. All documented records in relation to this period have been lost as well. Therefore this archive begins in a time known as The Dark Years.

The Dark Years (October 1997 - April 1999)
The Dark Years of the Empire was a time many Imperials choose to forget. It is generally agreed that the Emperors of this period lacked leadership skills, dedication, and skill. The Imperial spirit itself was crushed beneath acts of corruption and treason.

The Rule of Piett (April 1999 - July 2000)
The period known as the rule of Piett was an era of strength and conservatism. The grand Imperial Navy dominated the Empire's policies due to Emperor Piett's naval heritage. Although the Empire was quite stable under his rule, conservatism reigned supreme, and very little changes were made to improve the Empire's structure related problems.

The New Order (July 2000 - Present Day)
The current period that is known as the New Order is a time of great improvements in many aspects of Imperial organization. The structure of the Empire has been reorganized and the theory of capable leadership is now more common then ever. The Empire itself has never been in a more productive era.
