==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held co-leader positions in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

=== Founding of ROME ===
'''''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019'''''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire. This decision would go on to plunge SPQR into a brutal civil war and change Rome's history forever.

===The Kaiser Era [June 2019 - October 2019]===
As the [[Great Roman War (Third Server World War)|war]] between Buckmaster's [[S.P.Q.R. (3rd)|SPQR]] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server joined a side. Empire crews [[VER]], [[BE]], and [[ESE]] joined forces with SPQR in the fight against ROME. However, ROME had strong PvP allies in [[CLTN]], [[ROV]], and [[Cotij]]. After 6 weeks of intense fighting, ROME and its allies were victorious and the war was won. SPQR was all but destroyed and disbanded not long after. The victory cemented Roman independence from SPQR and signified ROME's rise as a growing empire.

During the latter parts of the war, a group of Romans formed who would become the core of the crew. These players were referred to as the "Kaisers" (due to renaming themselves with "KingKaiser" names) and consisted of ROME's leaders and prominent active members. The following players were members of the Kaiser group:

* KosmicKingKaiser - [[Cosmic]]
* KarenKingKaiser - [[Awsed_Miner]]
* KrayonKingKaiser - [[NitroDaNub|Nitro]]
* KlausKingKaiser - [[MileHighGaming]]
* KhaosKingKaiser - [[Fatgoose123]]
* KactusKingKaiser - [[JoKing311]]
* KiwiKingKaiser - [[Buffnut]]
* KoruptKingKaiser - [[Caleb230]]

Additionally, many new players were recruited into the empire. Players such as [[Golden|GoldenMoneyz]], [[Arielabella]], and [[Espul|MonarchChickens]] would go on to become future leaders and prominent members of ROME . As the empire continued to expand and grow in territory and manpower, it came into conflict with its neighbor, the [[Eternal Sith Empire]]. Tensions from the Independence War had not yet vanished entirely, with [[ESE]] still holding many grudges against ROME. ESE had a history with Rome since the Roman precursor state, [[TNRR]]. The expansion of Roman territory near the ESE capital certainly did not ease the tensions. This resulted in the ROME-ESE war, which began only a short while after the Independence War ended. The war with ESE lasted only a few weeks, but the results were clear. ESE's capital, [[Dromund Kaas]], had been extensively damaged and griefed, along with their other settlements. In the treaty to end the war, ESE had to cede much of their land to ROME.

Following the wars, ROME continued to grow and develop rapidly. [[Pathere]] flourished and became the cultural and economic center of ROME. Plans were made to develop more cities and forts on the continent of [[Epirus]]. However, a major setback would happen when many of the Kaisers would get in trouble with staff for their controversial names and actions outside the server. By October, multiple Kaisers were banned, while others quit or went inactive. At the end of the Kaiser era, only Cosmic remained.

=== The Dark Era [October 2019 - January 2020] ===
After the Kaiser era, the strength and growth of the empire began to decline. With every other leader and core player gone except for Cosmic, ROME needed to build itself back up.

=== The Progressive Era [January 2020 - May 2020] ===

=== The Golden Era (''Pax Romana'') [June 2020 - October 2020] ===

=== Fall of an Empire [October 2020 - ] ===

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

Additionally, many new players were recruited into the empire. Players such as [[Golden|GoldenMoneyz]], [[Arielabella]], and [[Espul|MonarchChickens]] would go on to become future leaders and prominent members of ROME . As the empire continued to expand and grow in territory and manpower, it came into conflict with its neighbor, the [[Eternal Sith Empire]]. Tensions from the Independence War had not yet vanished entirely, with [[ESE]] still holding many grudges against ROME. ESE had a history with Rome since the Roman precursor state, [[TNRR]]. The expansion of Roman territory near the ESE capital certainly did not ease the tensions. This resulted in the ROME-ESE war, which began only a short while after the Independence War ended. The war with ESE lasted only a few weeks, but the results were clear. ESE's capital, [[Dromund Kaas]], had been extensively damaged and griefed, along with their other settlements. In the treaty to end the war, ESE had to cede much of their land to ROME.

Following the wars, ROME continued to grow and develop rapidly. [[Pathere]] flourished and became the cultural and economic center of ROME. Plans were made to develop more cities and forts on the continent of [[Epirus]]. However, a major setback would happen when many of the Kaisers would get in trouble with staff for their controversial names and actions outside the server. By October, multiple Kaisers were banned, while others quit or went inactive. At the end of the Kaiser era, only Cosmic remained.

=== The Dark Era [October 2019 - January 2020] ===
After the Kaiser era, the strength and growth of the empire began to decline. With every other leader and core player gone except for Cosmic, ROME needed to build itself back up.

'''The Progressive Era [January 2020 - May 2020]'''

'''The Golden Era (''Pax Romana'') [June 2020 - October 2020]'''

'''Fall of an Empire [October 2020 - ]'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

==Wars==

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held co-leader positions in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

=== Founding of ROME ===
'''''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019'''''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire. This decision would go on to plunge SPQR into a brutal civil war and change Rome's history forever.

===The Kaiser Era [June 2019 - October 2019]===
As the [[Great Roman War (Third Server World War)|war]] between Buckmaster's [[S.P.Q.R. (3rd)|SPQR]] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server joined a side. Empire crews [[VER]], [[BE]], and [[ESE]] joined forces with SPQR in the fight against ROME. However, ROME had strong PvP allies in [[CLTN]], [[ROV]], and [[Cotij]]. After 6 weeks of intense fighting, ROME and its allies were victorious and the war was won. SPQR was all but destroyed and disbanded not long after. The victory cemented Roman independence from SPQR and signified ROME's rise as a growing empire.

During the latter parts of the war, a group of Romans formed who would become the core of the crew. These players were referred to as the "Kaisers" (due to renaming themselves with "KingKaiser" names) and consisted of ROME's leaders and prominent active members. The following players were members of the Kaiser group:

* KosmicKingKaiser - [[Cosmic]]
* KarenKingKaiser - [[Awsed_Miner]]
* KrayonKingKaiser - [[NitroDaNub|Nitro]]
* KlausKingKaiser - [[MileHighGaming]]
* KhaosKingKaiser - [[Fatgoose123]]
* KactusKingKaiser - [[JoKing311]]
* KiwiKingKaiser - [[Buffnut]]
* KoruptKingKaiser - [[Caleb230]]

Additionally, many new players were recruited into the empire. Players such as [[Golden|GoldenMoneyz]], [[Arielabella]], and [[Espul|MonarchChickens]] would go on to become future leaders and prominent members of ROME . As the empire continued to expand and grow in territory and manpower, it came into conflict with its neighbor, the [[Eternal Sith Empire]]. Tensions from the Independence War had not yet vanished entirely, with [[ESE]] still holding many grudges against ROME. ESE had a history with Rome since the Roman precursor state, [[TNRR]]. The expansion of Roman territory near the ESE capital certainly did not ease the tensions. This resulted in the ROME-ESE war, which began only a short while after the Independence War ended. The war with ESE lasted only a few weeks, but the results were clear. ESE's capital, [[Dromund Kaas]], had been extensively damaged and griefed, along with their other settlements. In the treaty to end the war, ESE had to cede much of their land to ROME.

Following the wars, ROME continued to grow and develop rapidly. [[Pathere]] flourished and became the cultural and economic center of ROME. Plans were made to develop more cities and forts on the continent of [[Epirus]]. However, a major setback would happen when many of the Kaisers would get in trouble with staff for their controversial names and actions outside the server. By October, multiple Kaisers were banned, while others quit or went inactive. At the end of the Kaiser era, only Cosmic remained.

Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own.

Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them.

The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held co-leader positions in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

=== Founding of ROME ===
''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire. This decision would go on to plunge SPQR into a brutal civil war and change Rome's history forever.

===The Kaiser Era===
As the [[Great Roman War (Third Server World War)|war]] between Buckmaster's [[SPQR]] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server joined a side. Empire crews [[VER]], [[BE]], and [[ESE]] joined forces with SPQR in the fight against ROME. However, ROME had strong PvP allies in [[CLTN]], [[ROV]], and [[Cotij]]. After 6 weeks of intense fighting, ROME and its allies were victorious and the war was won. This cemented Roman independence from SPQR and signified ROME's rise as a growing empire.

During the latter parts of the war, a group of Romans formed who would become the core of the crew. These players were referred to as the "Kaisers" (due to renaming themselves with "KingKaiser" names) and consisted of ROME's leaders and prominent active members. The following players were members of the Kaiser group:

* KosmicKingKaiser - [[Cosmic]]
* KarenKingKaiser - [[Awsed_Miner]]
* KrayonKingKaiser - [[NitroDaNub|Nitro]]
* KlausKingKaiser - [[MileHighGaming]]
* KhaosKingKaiser - [[Fatgoose123]]
* KactusKingKaiser - [[JoKing311]]
* KiwiKingKaiser - [[Buffnut]]
* KoruptKingKaiser - [[Caleb230]]

Additionally, many new players were recruited into the empire. Players such as [[Golden|GoldenMoneyz]], [[Arielabella]], and [[Espul|MonarchChickens]] would go on to become future leaders and prominent members of ROME . As the empire continued to expand and grow in territory and manpower, it came into conflict with its neighbor, the [[Eternal Sith Empire]]. Tensions from the Independence War had not yet vanished entirely, with [[ESE]] still holding many grudges against ROME. ESE had a history with Rome since the Roman precursor state, [[TNRR]]. The expansion of Roman territory near the ESE capital certainly did not ease the tensions. This resulted in the ROME-ESE war, which began only a short while after the Independence War ended. The war with ESE lasted only a few weeks, but the results were clear. ESE's capital, [[Dromund Kaas]], had been extensively damaged and griefed, along with their other settlements. In the treaty to end the war, ESE had to cede much of their land to ROME.

Following the wars, ROME continued to grow and develop steadily. However, a major setback would happen when many of the Kaisers would get in trouble with staff for their controversial names and actions outside the server. By October, multiple Kaisers were banned, while others quit or went inactive. By the end of the Kaiser era, only Cosmic remained.

=== '''The Dark Era''' ===
'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

[[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held co-leader positions in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

=== Founding of ROME ===
''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire. This decision would go on to plunge SPQR into a brutal civil war and change Rome's history forever.

===The Kaiser Era===
As the [[Great Roman War (Third Server World War)|war]] between Buckmaster's [[SPQR]] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server joined a side. Empire crews [[VER]], [[BE]], and [[ESE]] joined forces with SPQR in the fight against ROME. However, ROME had strong PvP allies in [[CLTN]], [[ROV]], and [[Cotij]]. After 6 weeks of intense fighting, ROME and its allies were victorious and the war was won. This cemented Roman independence from SPQR and signified ROME's rise as a growing empire.

During the latter parts of the war, a group of Romans formed who would become the core of the crew. These players were referred to as the "Kaisers" (due to renaming themselves with "KingKaiser" names) and consisted of ROME's leaders and prominent active members. The following players were members of the Kaiser group:

* KosmicKingKaiser - [[Cosmic]]
* KarenKingKaiser - [[Awsed_Miner]]
* KrayonKingKaiser - [[NitroDaNub|Nitro]]
* KlausKingKaiser - [[MileHighGaming]]
* KhaosKingKaiser - [[Fatgoose123]]
* KactusKingKaiser - [[JoKing311]]
* KoruptKingKaiser - [[Caleb230]]
* KiwiKingKaiser - [[Buffnut]]

During this time period, many future leaders and prominent members of ROME would be recruited by Cosmic. These players included [[Golden|GoldenMoneyz]], [[Arielabella]], and [[Espul|MonarchChickens]].

=== '''The Dark Era''' ===
'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held positions of co-leader in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

===Founding of ROME===
''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire. This decision would go on to plunge SPQR into a brutal civil war and change Rome's history forever.

===The Kaiser Era===
As the [https://wiki.piratemc.com/Great_Roman_War_(Third_Server_World_War) war] between Buckmaster's [[SPQR]] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server started to join a side. Many of the empire crews such at [[VER]], [[BE]], and [[ESE]]

'''The Dark Era'''

'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held positions of co-leader in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

===Founding of ROME===
''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire. This decision would go on to plunge SPQR into a brutal civil war and change Rome's history forever.

===The Kaiser Era===
As the war between Buckmaster's [SPQR] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server started to join a side.

'''The Dark Era'''

'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

'''Gqldn''' is a player who joined in mid-September of 2019. He is a Quartermaster and active player on the server. Golden was a member and leader of [[ROME]], and had been in the crew for over a year. In Rome, he served as the High Capal of Development, overseeing all the construction and development throughout the empire. Now in the [[Valyrian Freehold]], Golden serves as the founder and Sealord of Braavos. He also likes to dabble in pvp, sailing ships, and owning a store at the /warp shop.

==History==
GoldenMoneyz joined PirateCraft on September 17, 2019. On his first day on the server, he was invited to [[VISN]], where he stayed for the next few days. Golden ended up making a base near the [[Warp East|/warp east]], and was attacked several times on his first week. During Golden's second week of the server, he was invited to [[ROME]] by [[CosmicKingSp00k]]. Golden was given a home in [[Pathere]].

At this time, ROME was in the "Kaiser Era". ROME had just won the wars against [[SPQR]] and [[ESE]], and most of the infamous "KingKaisers" were still active on the server. Kosmic (Cosmic), Karen (Awsed_Miner), Krayon (Nitro), Klaus (MileHighGaming), Khaos (The_PenguinGamer), Kactus (JoKing311), and Kiwi (BuffNut) were prominent members and leaders in ROME during this time. This would be the most prosperous time seen in [[ROME]] until several months later.

After only a few days being in ROME, Golden was attacked and sieged in [[Pathere]] by [[SJ brotherhood|sj_brotherhood]]. Many more attacks from [[Dealer's Deck|DD]] members would continue for the next few months. Meanwhile, ROME's Imperator [[Cosmic]] had just begun construction on a new city that he hoped would attract deckhands to the crew. This city was to be called [[Vastere]] and would be the largest Roman build project to date. As construction on the city began, Golden became interested in helping build this city for the empire. Cosmic and Golden spent a few weeks working on the central area of Vastere. Due to these contributions to the empire, Golden quickly began rising through the builder ranks and became one of ROME's main architects. Over time, the city started filling up with many buildings and new recruits. (''[[Vastere]] would eventually become the most populated settlement in ROME and also on the server for the next year.'')

During the latter part of 2019, Golden had the chance to take part in the Halloween and Christmas events. For some reason, he felt a strong urge to tirelessly grind those events every day. In the end, he received a few dozen of the top event items. Unbeknownst to him at the time, those items would be worth tens of thousands in server currency within a year.

As 2019 wrapped up, [[Cosmic]] started to recruit more and more deckhands. Due to the ongoing conflict with [[Dealer's Deck|DD]], ROME needed more legionaries to help defend the empire. Cosmic trained many of these new deckhands to be capable soldiers in the Roman Army. A few of these recruits went on to become prominent members and good friends of Golden. Such members included [[Enderzalt]], [[Silent_Knight176]], and [[TacticalNukerz]].

==Summary==
He is most known for being the server's head-of-staff for the most part of 3 years (including being [[Godsdead]]'s secretary), his ship building, hosting the server ship battles and events, plugin work, and role in server development. He is the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]], [[The Xanthian Order]], and later [[Xenia]], and played a key role in creating [[RoP]].

He received the rank of housewright, moderator, and admin in 2017 in quick succession, in 2018 he was promoted to rearadmiral. After Godsdead, Xeron was the second in command for much of 2019 and 2020.

==Overview==
An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the [[Port of Xenia]]; one of the largest ports on the server, the [[Grand Ballroom]]; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the [[Xenon Tower]]; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also owns one of the largest and most accurate ship fleets on the server, being based off French 1780s designs. He popularised the 'salad' and 'Puffi' meme within PMC in 2019 and 2020 respectively. As of May 2021 he is the richest player in PMC history with a worth of $1,802,000.

He has played a prominant role in developing the server through build projects, plugin and dev work, community and staff team management, and server direction since his initial staff role in late 2016 (See 'Staff Team' section for details).

==History==
'''Overview'''

Xeron joined in April 2015 and was the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]]. He was heavily involved in the [[First Verussian War]], [[Second Verussian War]], developing the [[League of Nations]], and later the [[Commonwealth]]. Under his leadership the Xenon Empire was merged with other crews to form the [[Xanthian Order]] in 2017. In April 2017 Xeron was promoted to Commodore (mod), and became admin in September 2017 so took a step back from drama. After being promoted to vice-admiral (head/super-admin) he created his 'retirement crew' [[Xenia]].

'''Early Days'''

Xeron joined the server in early 2015, and soon after founded [[Port Terragon]]. [[Lego]] helped him out early on, lending resources and helping rid his port of pirates. He joined [[Red Lotus]] alongside Lego, before briefly joining the [[0utlaws]].

Xeron eventually settled in the newly founded [[Ottoman Empire]], with Lego as its leader. His port was named the Ottoman capital. In July 2015, the annual Elven ball was held at the port, but turned into a bloodbath after the [[0utlaws]] attacked.

'''Xenon Empire'''

He left the [[Ottoman Empire]] after a couple of months, before joining the [[Luteus Republic]] briefly, and eventually founding his own empire; the [[Xenon Empire]]. Once again he proclaimed his port the capital, and all nearby land under his control.

In late July 2015, the [[Verussian Empire]] annexed nearby Elven land, and subsequently became a neighbour to the [[Xenon Empire]]. Friction started when Verussian officials threatened to annex Xenon land, and turn Port Terragon into a colony. The Verussian Empire at the time also had issues with other nations in the [[League of Nations]] (back then named 'The Allied'). Xeron appeal to the League of Nations for help, and his empire was invited to join. Within a week, war was declared and the [[First Verussian War]] began.

The war ended after a couple of weeks with the surrender of the Verussians. The Xenon Empire gained a large amount of land, and Xeron saw to populate that land with new members. During this period the Xenon Empire grew rapidly reaching over 60 members. He hired Lord_Akley_VII as a butler and personal adviser, and renamed Port Terragon to the Port of Xenia.

Renewed troubles with the Verussian Empire led to the [[Cold War]] and subsequent arms race between many nations. The [[Xenon Tower]] was constructed during this period, as were more defences and walls around the port, hugely increasing its size. In early March 2016, war broke out once more and the [[Second Verussian War]] began. The war ended after a week.

'''The Xanthian Order'''

The Xenon Empire had become very inactive by mid 2016, with only Xeron and Lord Akley remaining. The decision was made in late 2016 to merge the Xenon Empire with the [[Templars]], and later the [[Iborian Empire]] and [[Luteus Republic]], thus creating [[The Xanthian Order]]. Xeron remained emperor of his original crew, but also declared himself Supreme Master of the new crew.

The crew later merged with the [[Elven Empire]] after Xeron 'married' [[Reptaria]] of the Elves. A low point in his career as he recounted. The merger was short lived, and the Elves became independent once more. By mid 2017, the crew had once more become inactive, and Xeron left in October 2017.

'''Xenia'''

Xeron, now a server admin, largely retired from server on-goings, focusing more on building a new port, moderation, event hosting, and configs. The old [[Port of Xenia]] was regened, and a new larger port was founded in the nearby bay aiming to be the largest port on the server.

==Staff Team==
Xeron has been very active in server developing, contributing to both plugin and config work as well as community and staff team management over 3 years. He became staff to improve the server and push for changes and development. As a result, the server is quite different and in a better position [citation needed] than when he started as staff in 2017.

He has always retained a close relationship with the community and promoted staff-player interaction, being a key voice of reason and criticism on behalf of the community. He was considered lenient in his moderation in stark contrast to the 'no-bullshit' moderation style used pre-2017, but emphasized communication and transparency, and was generally regarded as a decent staff member [citation needed ;-;].

He was a member of the original 'secret' build team in 2016, being enlisted by [[Chailey]] in June 2016 for his ships. He was formally promoted to housewright (build leader) in Jan 2017, commodore (mod) in May 2017, and admin in August 2017. During his time as admin he largely organized and ran the staff team and dictated its moderation style and members from 2018 onwards.

'''List of contributions'''

During his time as staff on PMC, some of the things Xeron is credited with includes:
* Leading and organizing the staff team formally since 2019, including rule changes and moderation reforms
* Pushing for warp shop and donator rank reforms on behalf of the community
* 2020 cannon rework and expansion
* Planned 2021 ship rework and expansion (if it is implemented)
* Creation of many event items and mini-events
* Creation of all crates and items since early 2018
* Creation of over half of the server's brews & managing brewing after [[Smokeyriver]] left
* Creation of crewscore plugin with Creeprr
* Assisting in the setup of many of the server events
* Built spawn, creative spawn, Halloween 2020 map, Nassau map, redesigned cove, staff island, Xmas 2016/18/19 maps, Halloween 2019 map, and helped organize the build team for 3 years.
* Built most ships at cove and ships1, plus the ship tutorial and blog post
* Hosting ship battles 2 - 13 and building of the arena
* Hosting and organizing several BotM
* Expansion of death messages and other minor features

==Resignation==
After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break. He briefly returned to finish outstanding plugin projects, including git templates (which are a huge help to all future pmc devs!) in an uneasy anticipation of a permanent departure.

In March 2021 he returned to PMC after a period of self-reflection of 4 years of server work, realizing he missed the community and PirateCraft could still use his help. His ideas and issues were discussed but unfortunately no common ground was found. Xeron saw no other alternative than to resign.
As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank however, he no longer plays a role in any moderation or development.

Xeron will always be a part of PirateCraft history, his contributions are a reminder of his work and dedication.

==Summary==
He is most known for being the server's head-of-staff for the most part of 3 years (including being [[Godsdead]]'s secretary), his ship building, hosting the server ship battles and events, plugin work, and role in server development. He is the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]], [[The Xanthian Order]], and later [[Xenia]], and played a key role in creating [[RoP]].

He received the rank of housewright, moderator, and admin in 2017 in quick succession, in 2018 he was promoted to rearadmiral. After Godsdead, Xeron was the second in command for much of 2019 and 2020.

==Overview==
An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the [[Port of Xenia]]; one of the largest ports on the server, the [[Grand Ballroom]]; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the [[Xenon Tower]]; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also owns one of the largest and most accurate ship fleets on the server, being based off French 1780s designs. He popularised the 'salad' and 'Puffi' meme within PMC in 2019 and 2020 respectively. As of May 2021 he is the richest player in PMC history with a worth of $1,802,000.

He has played a prominant role in developing the server through build projects, plugin and dev work, community and staff team management, and server direction since his initial staff role in late 2016 (See 'Staff Team' section for details).

==History==
'''Overview'''

Xeron joined in April 2015 and was the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]]. He was heavily involved in the [[First Verussian War]], [[Second Verussian War]], developing the [[League of Nations]], and later the [[Commonwealth]]. Under his leadership the Xenon Empire was merged with other crews to form the [[Xanthian Order]] in 2017. In April 2017 Xeron was promoted to Commodore (mod), and became admin in September 2017 so took a step back from drama. After being promoted to vice-admiral (head/super-admin) he created his 'retirement crew' [[Xenia]].

'''Early Days'''

Xeron joined the server in early 2015, and soon after founded [[Port Terragon]]. [[Lego]] helped him out early on, lending resources and helping rid his port of pirates. He joined [[Red Lotus]] alongside Lego, before briefly joining the [[0utlaws]].

Xeron eventually settled in the newly founded [[Ottoman Empire]], with Lego as its leader. His port was named the Ottoman capital. In July 2015, the annual Elven ball was held at the port, but turned into a bloodbath after the [[0utlaws]] attacked.

'''Xenon Empire'''

He left the [[Ottoman Empire]] after a couple of months, before joining the [[Luteus Republic]] briefly, and eventually founding his own empire; the [[Xenon Empire]]. Once again he proclaimed his port the capital, and all nearby land under his control.

In late July 2015, the [[Verussian Empire]] annexed nearby Elven land, and subsequently became a neighbour to the [[Xenon Empire]]. Friction started when Verussian officials threatened to annex Xenon land, and turn Port Terragon into a colony. The Verussian Empire at the time also had issues with other nations in the [[League of Nations]] (back then named 'The Allied'). Xeron appeal to the League of Nations for help, and his empire was invited to join. Within a week, war was declared and the [[First Verussian War]] began.

The war ended after a couple of weeks with the surrender of the Verussians. The Xenon Empire gained a large amount of land, and Xeron saw to populate that land with new members. During this period the Xenon Empire grew rapidly reaching over 60 members. He hired Lord_Akley_VII as a butler and personal adviser, and renamed Port Terragon to the Port of Xenia.

Renewed troubles with the Verussian Empire led to the [[Cold War]] and subsequent arms race between many nations. The [[Xenon Tower]] was constructed during this period, as were more defences and walls around the port, hugely increasing its size. In early March 2016, war broke out once more and the [[Second Verussian War]] began. The war ended after a week.

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held positions of co-leader in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

===Founding of ROME===
''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire.

===The Kaiser Era===
As the civil war between Buckmaster's [SPQR] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server started to join a side.

'''The Dark Era'''

'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held positions of co-leader in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

===Founding of ROME===
''The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019''. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined ROME were members of [[SPQR]] and [[Cosmic]] was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]]. Tensions rose as Cosmic invited his friends to the SPQR discord. They often made fun of Buckmaster and teased him. He would ban these players, only for Cosmic to re-invite them again. Eventually, Buckmaster had enough and decided to demote Cosmic both on the discord and in-game. This led to Cosmic breaking off from SPQR and taking a sizable amount of players with him. Backed by his friends and allies, Cosmic founded the Imperial Roman Empire.

===The Kaiser Era===
As the civil war between Buckmaster's [SPQR] and Cosmic's insurgents took place, many crews on the server started to join a side.

'''The Dark Era'''

'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

'''Gqldn''' is a player who joined in mid-September of 2019. He is a Quartermaster and active player on the server. Golden was a member and leader of [[ROME]], and had been in the crew for over a year. In Rome, he served as the High Capal of Development, overseeing all the construction and development throughout the empire. Now in the [[Valyrian Freehold]], Golden serves as the founder and Sealord of Braavos. He also likes to dabble in pvp, sailing ships, and owning a store at the /warp shop.

==History==
GoldenMoneyz joined PirateCraft on September 17, 2019. On his first day on the server, he was invited to [[VISN]], where he stayed for the next few days. Golden ended up making a base near the [[Warp East|/warp east]], and was attacked several times on his first week. During Golden's second week of the server, he was invited to [[ROME]] by [[CosmicKingSp00k]]. Golden was given a home in [[Pathere]].

At this time, ROME was in the "Kaiser Era". ROME had just won the wars against [[SPQR]] and [[ESE]], and most of the infamous "KingKaisers" were still active on the server. Kosmic (Cosmic), Karen (Awsed_Miner), Krayon (Nitro), Klaus (MileHighGaming), Khaos (The_PenguinGamer), Kactus (JoKing311), and Kiwi (BuffNut) were prominent members and leaders in ROME during this time. This would be the most prosperous time seen in [[ROME]] until several months later.

After only a few days being in ROME, Golden was attacked and sieged in [[Pathere]] by [[SJ brotherhood|sj_brotherhood]]. Many more attacks from [[Dealer's Deck|DD]] members would continue for the next few months. Meanwhile, ROME's Imperator [[Cosmic]] had just begun construction on a new city that he hoped would attract deckhands to the crew. This city was to be called [[Vastere]] and would be the largest Roman build project to date. As construction on the city began, Golden became interested in helping build this city for the empire. Cosmic and Golden spent a few weeks working on the central area of Vastere. Due to these contributions to the empire, Golden quickly began rising through the builder ranks and became one of ROME's main architects. Over time, the city started filling up with many buildings and new recruits. (''[[Vastere]] would eventually become the most populated settlement in ROME and also on the server for the next year.'')

During the latter part of 2019, Golden had the chance to take part in the Halloween and Christmas events. For some reason, he felt a strong urge to tirelessly grind those events every day. In the end, he received a few dozen of the top event items. Unbeknownst to him at the time, those items would be worth tens of thousands in server currency within a year.

As 2019 wrapped up, [[Cosmic]] started to recruit more and more deckhands. Due to the ongoing conflict with [[Dealer's Deck|DD]], ROME needed more legionaries to help defend the empire. Cosmic trained many of these new deckhands to be capable soldiers in the Roman Army. A few of these recruits went on to become prominent members and good friends of Golden. Such members included [[Enderzalt]], [[Silent_Knight176]], and [[TacticalNukerz]].

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held positions of co-leader in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

===Founding of ROME===
The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined were members of [[SPQR]] and Cosmic was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]].

'''The Kaiser Era'''

'''The Dark Era'''

'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

==Wars==

* '''[https://wiki.piratemc.com/Great_Roman_War_(Third_Server_World_War) ROME v SPQR]''' (Independence War)

''June - September 2019''

''Cause: ROME starts war to break off from SPQR''

''Outcome: SPQR is defeated and ROME has full independence. SPQR also sees most of their members go inactive, with the crew eventually disbanding months later. '''Roman Victory'''''

* '''ROME v [[ESE]]'''

''September - October 2019''

''Cause: Tensions between ROME and ESE remained after the SPQR v ROME war (ESE had sided with SPQR), especially over land within ROME's Capital Province''

''Outcome: ESE and ROME sign a treaty which gives ROME a lot of ESE's former territory. '''Roman Victory'''''

==Summary==
'''The Imperial Roman Empire''' (ROME) is one of the largest and most influential crews in PirateCraft. Created in May 2019, ROME have amassed large amounts of territory, spanning 3 continents. The empire has over 5 impressive cities and settlements, many powerful allies, and a large and dedicated player base. Additionally, ROME received the Crew of the Year Award for 2019.
==History==
===Prologue===
Many years ago, there were numerous Roman-themed crews scattered across the server. The most prominent of these were [[TNRR]] and [[SPQR]]. While these crews may have been as different as night and day, they did have something in common. [[Cosmickingjoel]], a veteran PirateCraft player from 2017, held positions of co-leader in both crews for several years. He served them faithfully and gained a lot of knowledge on what it took to run a strong empire crew. Due to his vast experience from these Roman-themed crews, Cosmic felt equipped to take on a leadership role himself. Near the end of his time as the head recruiter for [[SPQR]], Cosmic and some of his closest friends and members made a plan to start an empire of their own. This plan would grow to become the Imperial Roman Empire, a crew the likes of which the server had never seen before.

===Founding of ROME===

The Imperial Roman Empire was founded on May 27th, 2019. Prior to its founding, most of the players that joined were members of [[SPQR]] and Cosmic was their head of recruitment. During the end of his time in SPQR, Cosmic grew at odds with [[Buckmaster]].

'''The Kaiser Era'''

'''The Dark Era'''

'''The Progressive Era'''

'''The Golden Era (Pax Romana)'''

'''Fall of an Empire'''

==Government==
The governing system/leadership of ROME is organized like Imperialism. Basically, there is one Imperator (similar to an emperor), who rules the entirety of the Empire.

Under the Imperator is a council of 3 "High Capals". '''The High Capals''' are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor/Development, Economy, and Military.) Each High Capal is put in-charge of one of these branches, and they are chosen by the Imperator. High Capals report directly to the Imperator. Every High Capal has a "capal" serving under them. The '''capals''' serve as secretaries for the High Capals. Capals can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

'''Governors''' govern over the provinces of the Empire. There are currently 3 provinces, so, likewise, there are 3 governors. The governors' jobs include: managing the cities/settlements within their province, overseeing new construction and development, taking censuses of the population, and maintaining "provinciae gloria" (the glory of the province). Governors must be long-time members, and they are elected by the citizens.

'''Directors''' are put in-charge of cities. Their jobs are similar to that of a mayor. Directors oversee development in their respective cities, and aid architects in planning out city infrastructure. They also manage the welfare of their city, act as military commanders for the troops in their city and welcome new citizens. Directors are elected by the citizens, and can only be re-elected twice.

==Military==
One very important aspect of the Imperial Roman Empire is the military. The military consists of main units called “legions”. Each legion has 5-7 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. The leader of a legion is known as a '''Centurion''' and has authority over all ranks beneath them. After Centurion rank, a player achieve the Tribune title. The '''Tribune''' oversees all legions and reports to the Capal and High Capal directly. The '''Capal''' of the military (also known as the Legate) oversees all legions, as well as the navy and other members working for the military. The Capal will report to the High Capal of Military (or in some cases, the Imperator).

There is another branch of the military that is separate from the others. '''The Praetorian Guard''' is a small group of the most elite PvPers in ROME. The Guard only consists of about 7 members, but this ensures the members must be the best of the best. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for defending ROME and its citizens when there is a threat that the legions can't handle on their own. The Praetorians do the heavy God PvP fighting and are the main raiders for the crew.
Leading the Praetorian Guard is the '''Praetor''', a long-time member and one of the best PvPers on the server. The Praetor is slightly greater in rank to the High Capal of Military and will lead the crew if the Imperator is absent.
If a member of the Praetorian Guard stands above the rest in skill, achievements, and/or dedication, they may be chosen as the Praetorian Prefect. The '''Prefect''' (or Praefectus) is basically the second in command of the Guard and leads the Praetorians in battle when the Praetor isn't there. The Prefect is usually slightly less than (or equal in skill) to the Praetor.
To become a Praetorian, one must first apply as a '''Praetorian Trainee'''. The trainee will go through serious pvp training with other guards and the Praetor. Once a trainee is about the same skill as the other guards (or better) and can hold their own against the Praetor, they will have graduated training and become a new member of the Praetorian Guard.

GoldenMoneyz: /* Minor Empires */

[[Empires]] have been for a long time often the largest, most organised [[crews]] on the server, who've provided much of the lore and history as well as trade, stability and infrastructure.

Empires are not historically known on the server of being the most pvp savvy of crews, and rather pursue the stability and order which an empire's aim is, and go usually by the idea of "strength in numbers".

They often form diplomatic relationships with other empires and factions, including [[Pirate Crews]]. It is however less often so now that the empires waged large [[Wars]] with one another.

They're often led by a sole individual power, often being authoritarian in rule, how strong the rule was however differs in empires. However a few empires have reached the point of bi-annual democratic elections.

GoldenMoneyz:

'''Arie''' (also known as “Arie-on-the-isle) is the main naval and military base of the [[Imperial Roman Empire]]. It is located off the eastern coast of the continent of Epirus. Arie is not technically a city, and therefore is ran by the leader of the military, [[Enderzalt]]. The naval base is home to 2 carriers, 4 submarines, 4 Indiamen, and multiple brigs and manowars.

Arie is an old settlement (having been around since 2018). Recently, there have been new construction and renovations taking place. New dock space, buildings, and barracks have been added as of March 2020.
