History & Background / Dossier
These seventeen emperors achieved the throne through assassination, fleet action, political maneuvers, and general mayhem. The year 619 particularly saw six emperors serve on the throne, none of them for more than three months. The succession of Emperors of the Flag began with the seizure of the throne by Olav hault-Plankwell in 604, which action precipitated the Civil War. It ended with the naming of Arbellatra as regent of the Imperium in 622.
