During the period of the [[Pacification Campaigns]] in [[76]], the [[Emperor]] [[Artemsus]] subsequently created a new form of [[Archduke]] when he initially established the original six nominal [[Domain|Domains]] of the [[Third Imperium|Imperium]], each of which has an [[Archduke]] exercising overall control of his/her respective [[Domain]], and acting as an intermediary between the [[Emperor]] and the other levels of [[Imperial Nobility|nobility]] (except for the [[Domain of Sylea]], where the [[Emperor]] himself acted as the titular [[Archduke]]). The intended goal of these new [[Domain]]s and their associated [[Archduke]]s was to give each [[Archduke]] the responsibility for the prosecution of the "pacification" and integration of new systems into the [[Third Imperium]] within the defined boundaries of the given [[Domain]] by whatever means were most expedient. | During the period of the [[Pacification Campaigns]] in [[76]], the [[Emperor]] [[Artemsus]] subsequently created a new form of [[Archduke]] when he initially established the original six nominal [[Domain|Domains]] of the [[Third Imperium|Imperium]], each of which has an [[Archduke]] exercising overall control of his/her respective [[Domain]], and acting as an intermediary between the [[Emperor]] and the other levels of [[Imperial Nobility|nobility]] (except for the [[Domain of Sylea]], where the [[Emperor]] himself acted as the titular [[Archduke]]).

Certain problems were direct antecedent causes of the [[Civil War]] of course, but the core issue of preventing the splintering and secession of worlds and regions from the [[Third Imperium]] had remained a problem of the [[Emperor]]s since its founding. |
