Arising from the ashes of the Great Solar War (-57 to -51 Imperial Calender/2284 to 2290 Common Era), the collapse of the classical powers of earth into numerous small system states the Unified Imperium emerged. A militaristic Federal Republic born of several Republics united together after numerous raids by hostile invaders the UI eventually came to adopt Unificationalism as a core ideology. The primary tenant of which was simple: if Mankind was to have lasting peace it needed to be united under one banner either by words or economic incentive or, when those failed, Force. The society that emerged was divided into two main classes of people: citizens (sufficiently Imperialized populations that had been fully integrated who had representation in the Imperial Parliament) and six classes of subjects that were gradually assimilated into the Imperium. Mostly this was done by education and various political and economic incentives, though in the case of those who took up arms against the Imperium it was achieved by Neurological Reprogramming.



The ground forces of the Unified Imperium were divided between two branches. The bulk of it's forces are Armed Keepers of Order (AKOs), a branch of the military primarily charged with keeping the various conquered populations of the Imperium in line and the Marine Corps, who are the main offensive force of the Imperium. AKO Human Infantry usually wear light power armor that weighs in at about 40-46kg per suit. Marines on the other hand typically wear heavier suits that weigh in at 400kgs and offer greater protection and allowing them to carry heavy 6.5mm gauss rifles. Conventional helmets were forgone on marine powersuits in place of solid head protection with the soldier relying on cameras and sensors for vision with small holo projectors used to project a recreation of the soldier's face for those occasions in which they need to interact with people on more friendly terms. Either way human forces usually make up a small fraction of UI infantry forces. Mostly the UI relies on Infantry Robots, with the standard UI Legionary commanding a squad of of them in most operations. Those who became officers in either the marines or AKOs became acustomed to dealing with much larger forces than those that their predecessors of the same rank did.
