History
The Amarr Empire were a race of humans that established themselves in New Eden alongside the other colonists that moved to that region of space. The Amarr people were the first of the races to re-discover interstellar travel technology which came to include jump gate tech. This was achieved 2,000 years ago whereupon they began to expand into nearby solar systems which were slowly brought into their empire.
Overview
In appearance, the Amarr Empire was an interstellar nation that operated as a theocratic monarchy.
It was headed by the Amarr Emperor who was the head of the theocratic, authoritarian imperial state. The Emperor's authority was unquestioned and absolute though the archaic and bureaucratic system of government made it difficult for him to exert his rule unless directly in person. Beneath him were the Five Heirs that were the heads of the five royal families. It was among their ranks that a new Emperor was chosen. The Emperor's authority was unquestionable and absolute yet an archaic and bureaucratic system of government made it difficult for him to exert his rule unless it was done so directly in person. As such, the Five Heirs were responsible for ruling in his name and divided the huge Amarr Empire between them. The Emperor and the Heirs could live for at least 500 years with extensive cyber-implants keeping their frail bodies alive even when their organs begin to fail. These cyber-enhancements dated back many millennia and have become a symbol of royal divinity in the eyes of the Amarr.
Serving the Emperor was the position of Court Chamberlain who served as the Amarr rulers right hand.
A ruling body within the empire was the Council of Apostles. Another high ranking institution was that of the Theology Council who served as a supreme religious court in the empire.
Their society was divided into a number of ethnic groups that included:
- Amarrians :
- Ni-Kunnis :
- Khanid :
A religious order that operated within the empire was the Order of St. Tetrimon.
Soldiers of the empire from across all its branches were known as Paladins.
As the largest of the empires, it was noted to rule 40% of inhabited space.
