Pre History
The origins of the Imperium are shrouded in mystery. No one knows how long the imperium has been around for but acooring to general Vykar there have been 3 Imperiums (episode 4: changes part 1). Imperium mean Empire or Government in latin, so whether or not they are referring to 3 seperate governments in the past or 3 different types of galactic imperium is uncertain.

Structure/ organisation

 * The Capital of the Imperium is Avalon
 * The head of state of the Imperium are the Faculty, three mysterious beings who wield absolute control over the galaxy.
 * The Imperium is a post truth society much like Oceania in George Orwells 1984. The Faculty constantly change information to suit the needs of the time as evident when General Vykar destroyed Arkadia, they removed all evidence that planet called Arkadia ever existed.
 * The Imperium has noble titles like Lord or Lady.

Culture
The culture of the Imperium is a human based culture, the Imperium is highly xenophobic of alien races and views humanity as the superior species. The culture is largely based of Ancient Rome as seen with the names like Centurion and Praetor the Artificial inelegance systems of the Spire and the Rouge, Tartarus the planet where Zero was imprisoned, is the lowest level of the underworld in Graeco-Roman mythology. Arkadia the planet that gets destroyed by General Vykar, was a region in ancient greece.

The Imperium has an entrenched class system, with the upper classes having incredible wealth power, status and freedom. The upper classes dye or genetically modify their hair and eye colour natural colours as seen with the Lady Kai with her purple hair and eyes, General Vykar with his red eyes and the Anaton family with their red/purple/orange hair. When the bioweve was rolled out the Upper class did not loose their free will and only used the Bioweve for Bam technology and the other benefits it brought them.The general population is seen as nothing more than sheep to be herded and they are constantly kept in check to prevent a rebellion. Since the creation of the Bioweve the average person is seen as nothing more than cannon fodder, with the Faculty, General Vykar and other high ranking imperium officials seeing them as expandable and replaceable.

The Imperium is a mass survalince/ police state where individuals who dare question the authority of the Imperium and the Faculty imprisoned, tortured or executed. The Imperium does what's in its best interests, all else comes second. Some extreme examples are covering up and erasing the destruction of entire planets (Dosk and Arkadia) and the murder of billions of innocent civilians because it was in the best interest of the Imperium not to let this information out.
