==History==
==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 - ] ===

Under the Imperator is a council of 4 "High Capals". The High Capals are put in-charge of different branches of the empire. (The branches are Labor, Economy, Military, and Internal Affairs.) 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 are like secretaries for the High Capals. Capals also can be assigned to oversee different parts of their respective branches.

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 members, with one of them being the leader of that legion. There is a ranking system for the military. First, when a member enlists in the military, they become an L0 (“L” is short for legionnaire). And L0 has no authority and isn’t technically a member of the military yet.  
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.

After the initial training, a new recruit becomes an L1 (Tirones). L1 also has no authority, and therefore is the lowest actual military rank. After meeting certain requirements, an L1 can become an L2 (Milites).

L2 are the regular soldiers and have no specializations. After an L2 has completed more training and specialized in a certain field, they become an L3 (Immunes).

An L3 is a specialized soldier, who may be granted authority over the L1’s and L2’s. After an L3 has done training in combat and has shown proficiency, they may become an L4 (Tesserarius).

Summary[edit | edit source]

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.

Government[edit | edit source]

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.
