Star System: Nova Terra
Name: Senatus Populesque Romanus
Date: This the 18th Day of the Ides, In the Year of the Consuls Titus Galenus Aratus and Lucius Antonius Tiberinus, 2757 Ab Urbe Condita A.U.C.
Head of State: Primus Princeps (First Citizen) Casca Rufius Longinus
National Flag:
LEGENDARY BACKGROUND
In the Legends of Nova Roma, that are lost in the misty haze of time, it is said that Iuppiter and Mars had forseen the time when Roma Mater would be overcome by the barbarians. Iuppiter despaired of ever seeing his children out among the stars. So he along with Mars began to weave the ether and created Nova Roma, an exact replica of Sol, and deposited there Romans whom he deemed worthy to carry on the name Roman.
These humans had to display all the virtues of a true Roman and these virtues were: Officium (Duty), Aequitas (Respect), Gravitas (Dignity), Nobilitas (Nobility), Concordia (Harmony), Humanitas (Culture), Pietas (piety), Virtus (Courage), Firmitas (Tenacity), Industria (Hard Work).
These Romans had more in common with Seneca and Cicero than with Commodous and Nero. As Iuppiter had forseen only true Romans would prosper and eventually make it to the stars. But what is a Roman without conflict? So Mars placed on Nova Roma, humans from other cultures that he deemed worthy to fight the Imperium for the fate of the new world Iuppiter and he had created. If these Romans were not worthy, then none would be. It would be an interesting fight either way.
In the Year 2657 A.U.C. Ab Urbe Condita, the Romans had shown they were worthy of Iuppiter and Mars. For they had finally conquered the Orbis Sericum (Chinese Sphere) and united Nova Roma under the Pax Romana.
Cheers, Thorgrimm
