The Monolith Imperiya /Mo-no-lith Im-peer-iya/ (Monolyth Script: Монолитная Империя) is a faction from the Monolith Battleplates and is considered to be the largest and most powerful of the known factions of the realm. Much of their identity was drawn and created from the former Galacian Imperiya, from which it also gets it's name.

Background

The Imperiya is as old as the realm itself, or so old that no one really remembers when, where or how it started. It was believed to be started by a powerful individual with godlike powers, not unlike how the Vorhut had started.

But somewhere along the line the Imperiya had taken the form of a Government of regular minifigs. In the later days, after the establishment and expansion of the power of the Anwar Council, the Imperiya had begun to act in contradiction to the general rule of the Central administration. Dozens of plate cities in the southern clusters that had benefited directly from the protection and governance of the Imperiya faction had elected to declare total independence from Anwar. And going forward would only interact with the Anwar Council on the matters of trade or foreign diplomacy.

Prior to the events of Ragnablok, The Imperiya had become embroiled in a competition with another entity in the North doing similar things as they, the Bratva, or "Brotherhood" was an organization dedicated to creating a realm that was open and free of Harsh rule. It's entire reason for existence was to spite and contradict the Imperiya. The two groups battled for ages, and their conflict created much of the world the Monolith Realm is known for today

Ethos & Objectives

The Imperiya is an age old establishment. Promoting the ideals of law and order throughout the realm and to build a prosperous and glorious civilization

Out of all the factions of the Monolith Battleplates, with the exception of the city-states themselves, Imperiya is the most concerned with establishing a permanent dominion and maintaining a government over civilians. The reasoning not out of a desire to be bureaucratic or benevolent. But out of a paranoid agenda to maintain security and order throughout the cities to keep the minifigs docile, and otherwise not joining Gangs or Cults. Imperiya goes so far as to train militias of villages and towns to police the regions it can't be bothered with.

Imperiya seeks to fight the forces of disorder and mayhem. But at the same time, opposes any group that may challenge it's position. Fighting against savages, gangs, and other armies for sport. Their engineers constantly create war machines and weapons out of raw materials scavenged from the wastes, and scientists occasionally make portals to raid other dimensions.

Imperiya is also notorious for employing locals from towns and villages, and training them into auxiliary security forces. All with the intention of spreading "Order" throughout the world with as many allies as possible.

Leadership

See:Monolith characters

The Monolith Imperiya had traditionally followed the rule of a single "Emperor", for which the Imperiya got it's name. However for reasons unknown, the Imperiya has been without a central leader for a very long time. The very symbolic throne that was sat upon by the emperor, is not only vacant, but outright dissapeared. Yet the mission of the entity remains unchanged. It is generally accepted that Two individuals sit atop of the Empire's leadership. Sergachev and Varone, who more or less hold equal power and issue orders through the help of other commanders and officers in the chain.

The inner workings of the group are largely unknown to the outside world. But many beileve the Imperiya's appearance power is a facade, and that it is a fragile tinderbox ready to start fighting with itself. Many of the troops and officers of the group have formed their own cliques, clubs and subfactions. Many are also defectors or converts from other factions, existing or absorbed. And their loyalties may lie more with their old officers than the Imperiya at large

Military

Imperiya has two main divisions.

• Armiya - The Ground Forces, the conventional Army using heavy vehicles and massed ground assaults against the enemies of their agenda
• Flota - The Fleet Forces, Using Medium to large sized vehicles known as fleet ships to bombard ground targets, transport Marines over long distances over the plates, and do battle with other fleets in the void above the plates, The realm's equivalent to space

Armiya

The Imperiya Armiya is experienced, sophisticated, and uptight. Deploying large units of Regular, Veteran, Elite and Special Forces soldiers. And lots of heavy Armor and transports.

Armiya Troops

Regular Units

	Unit	Notes
	Troopers	a decentley equipped, and trained, albeit poorly motivated conscript force that makes up the bulk of Imperiya Occupations. They are equipped with basic pulse weaponry like light rifles, squad level machineguns, RPGs and grenades. They are expected to do little more than take or defend simple objectives.
	Weapons Specialist	specialist unit that are apart of the Regulars. Bringing a big weapon like a heavy machinegun or heavy RPG to boost a squad's firepower.
	Field Teks	support units that maintain defenses, and repair vehicles
	Officer	Command units who are usually in charge of a few platoons. Usually subordinate to a Senior Officer who'd be in charge of an entire battle.
	Senior Officer	Senior command units who are usually some kind of Colonel or General, and often the first in command of all units involved in a battle

Veteran Units

	Unit	Notes
	Assault Troopers	Veteran assault troops sporting newer, more advanced equipment, specialized training and tactics

	Desolator	A Cruel and Unusual weapon of war, the Desolator employs a chemical weapon capable of melting or completely disintegrating ABS into nothing but goo.
