LEGENDARY BACKGROUND

In the Misty Legends of Roma, that are lost in the 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 the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius Mons, yet while devastating, it allowed Vulcan to pass on the secret of Fulminata. Armed with Fulminata and trained by Mars himself Roma was able to overcome her enemies and continued to expand the empire. Iuppiter reasoned that if these Romans whom he deemed worthy of fulminata could not carry Roma Mater to the stars, then none would be worthy to carry on the name Roman.

Iuppiter warned that they 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). And if not displayed the people of Rome would go the way of the Alexandrian empire, fragmented and finally conquered. These Romans had to have 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 within the grasp of other cultures that he deemed worthy to fight the Imperium, the secret of fulminata. If the Romans were not vigilant these other cultures would be able to fight 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 Terra under the Pax Romana.

The Discovery of the Apollonian Gates were just a few short months away.
