Nova Imperium Galnet Article musings

For me its interesting that it arrives at the same time that the Thargoids are attacking the empire, and that the defence requirements are going up. Suddenly the rhetoric might do the opposite of its supposed intent, and instead mean that the federal/independent pilots do less to help and finally the Thargoids get their hold in the bubble.
Or is that just a bit too much conspiracy?? ��

They do look very similar. On the other hand there certainly are a lot of imperials unhappy about the new era of inter-superpower cooperation, so this lot might be a bit more popular. Can't blame Patreus for trying again, I guess.
If an empire falls in the vacuum of space, does it make a sound?

Whuch one?
I did wonder the same; not to say there will not always be some reactionary movement calling for a return to the "good old days" in the Empire
Wonder who the Imperator will turn out to be
Well played Indigo. Well played.
Patreus already condemned Nova Imperium. I don't think he is behind that campaign, and It looks much more serious than the Empire Dawn conspiracy. They go through the legal way, directly to the Senate.
i thought it was “If a Galnet article is posted, does it actually matter?”
I want to know who what propose as the New Emperor
Is Duke/Imperator Mordanticus putting themselves forward, or suggesting someone else?
Interesting how the Senate can now openly debate install a new Emperor.
If the only the Empire kept the Duval line and this wouldnt even be a debate; let the senate debate policy but the Emperor, Immutable, should have been the stabilizing factor
Long Live HIH Harald Duval

Well you would want an ineffectual loon in charge; it directly benefits the Alliance.
Legal or not, in practical terms the Senators collectively probably have more power than the Emperor herself so if a substantial majority were in favour of a replacement she might be convinced to abdicate peacefully for the good of the Empire. The issue would be if they were split on the matter but replacement had a narrow majority - that would likely lead to a civil war.
They'd also need to have a replacement to unite behind, and there certainly isn't anyone particularly obvious who actually wants the job.
Vespasian's previous appearances don't give a massive hint on his angle on this:
- there's a bit of routine public sympathy for the family of his murdered colleague
- there's criticism of Aegis as insufficient versus the Thargoids.
Still, there's possibilities there - the Empire, so far, has not been significantly targeted by the Thargoids ... Aegis is not achieving significant results in the fight [1] and with the arrival of a third band of Thargoid raiders independent pilots are also being overwhelmed ... there's a good argument that it's a waste of the Empire's resources to mainly protect its rivals.
I wonder if he intends to use the threat of installing a new Emperor to "compromise" on what he actually wants - a withdrawal from Aegis.
[1] Its only recent public actions have been defence against UA-bombing (which wasn't generally a problem for the Empire in the first place) and an agreement to help protect Ram Tah from interference (who has been independently researching far more effective weapons)
Gold... that's gold, I tell ya.

It's almost like the lore is nonsensical and gets retconned to suit the whims of this weeks 'story'.
I mean, how long till Hudsons election? How long does Mahon have?
