Revision as of 15:00, 14 January 2014 by 199.173.226.236 (talk)
The Fifth Imperium was basically a continuation of the Fourth Imperium when in the year 1252 Emperor Avery Aella Alkhalikoi was assasinated, leading to the rise of House Corrino as the ruling Imperial family. The assembly of nobility known as the Moot were renamed the Landsraad, and the Corrino Emperors established a personal elite corps of shocktroopers known as the Sardaukar recruited from the ranks of Orks.
Expansion
Over the next 2000 years, the Fifth Imperium would expand to conquer all of Charted Space as was familiar in the era of the earlier Third Imperium.
