Imperium Galactica Wiki



Welcome!
Welcome to Imperium Galactica, the wikia where I will be working on the setting for the planned book I intend to write entitled Imperium Galactica. As time goes on, this wikia will expand considerably. I hope anyone who finds it, and who peruses its pages, will enjoy their visit.

The Setting
Imperium Galactica takes place within the Milky Way Galaxy, roughly 8,000 years in the future. After the atomic devastation of World War III ravaged Earth in 2064, the tattered remnants of humanity emerged from a century of confinement underground and slowly rebuilt communities and restored a tiny portion of the planet, within which they came to the realization that they had to get off that now-broken world before it was too late. Led by the genius engineer Manfredo Virini, a native of Italy, societies of mankind made their way to the settlement established on the ruins of Geneva, Switzerland, to join together in a singular community aimed at escaping the chains of the broken terrestrial realm that had been humankind's only home since time immemorial.

Humanity returned to deep-seated traditions, first as a manner of survival and then more as a means of remaining united, that focused on faith and family. Surviving elements of the Christian church and other faiths brought solace and peace to the worried minds of the remnants, and a desire to survive - no, a desire to overcome - suffused the human race. Over the next two centuries, vast scientific efforts led ultimately to the capabilities that guided mankind off of Earth in ships capable of travelling between the stars. Artificial gravity, fusion power plants, gravitic engines and other advances began to coalesce into what history would ultimately remember as the Exodus. From there, humanity began to explore the stars and found worlds capable of supporting them anew. With the swiftness of their newly-developed superluminal drive, man found lush worlds and barren ones alike, as their ships fanned ever-outward to find new worlds to call home.

Over the next thousand years, mankind settled hundreds of worlds yearly, and the once-struggling peoples again found their drive as they made a new home for themselves amongst the stars. By the open of our book, it has been approximately 8,024 years since mankind left Old Earth behind and began to colonize new worlds. Man has learned he is not alone, and shares an extensive galactic community with 319 other sentient races. Humanity has built for itself the expansive Imperium which encompasses over 300,000 worlds. The human race has flourished and grown beyond the limits of its previous earthbound mentality, and the sciences, technology and medicine have enabled man to be a part of a vast interstellar society it had, up to its Exodus, only dreamed of.
