This page refers to the player emperor, emperor can also refer to the Serengeti uber AI Emperor Sharahn Rhak'kai IV.

The Emperor of the Universe! The head honcho! The big cheese! Generally known as either the most powerful or the sneakiest man or woman in the universe, they are the one who has claimed the Imperial Crown from Anatolia, escorted it across the Universe and has been crowned in Sol as the supreme leader of the universe.

Current Emperor System

The palace is located in Perilous Space. You are not be able to build any additional bases in this galaxy, though you are be able to deploy permanent drones to help defend. Once the universe has reached a sufficient level of colony population to support an emperor, King Midas will spawn. To claim the palace as your own, you must first defeat King Midas and you must be ranked in the top 5 teams.

After claiming the palace, you will have to build a crown ship and wait a few days for the coronation ceremony, during which time other teams can try to stop you by destroying the palace.* To be crowned emperor of the universe, as Director of your team you will have to make the trip to Sol in the crown ship and dock at Earth Central.

  • Note - The palace is never actually destroyed, but by reducing its shields to zero you can halt any emperor run in progress, and can then claim it as your own by docking there (if you are in one of the top 5 teams)."

How To Become the Emperor

When you are the Director of your own Team and your team is one of the top 5 by team score, then you can run for Emperor. After claiming Palace, the team doesn't have to remain in the top 5 but they must retain at least 5% of the total universe's population. The universe must be civilized, which requires a certain ration of colonized planets. You run for emperor by capturing the Palace in Anatolia, a specially-built station that serves as the seat for the Emperor's Crown until such time as you are able to be crowned emperor in the sovereign system of Sol. The coronation can take place 24 hours after the Palace (Picture) has been captured and takes place when the attempted-emperor pilots the Emperor's Crown (Picture) from the palace to the Emperor's Club in Sol. The Emperor's Crown cannot dock anywhere else.

Benefits

The only benefits to an Emperor is the ability to name a galaxy, and design their own item subject to administration approval, such approval is seldom given. The Director and Councillors of the reigning team will get beneficial auras that slightly improve stats of nearby team mates. Your team will also get a small tithe on all scooped credits that will be deposited directly into team funds. All members of an Emperor's team gain a yellow star next to their character's name when seen by other people in-game. For those who have already gained a yellow star from previous Emperor runs, this star grows in size with each successive run.

Past Emperors


Other

  • fordail1 - Pantalones fordail1 was never crowned due to the nature of his victory. The dev team viewed the practice of the entire player base joining one team as against the spirit of the contest.
  • Faraday - Social Distancing X - Emperor during the March 2020 30 day PvP server event, Director of the PvP Server Version of Star Revolution X

Emperor Items

Interesting Facts

  • Ring used to be the most common place to launch an emp run from - and often the centre sun was littered by the discarded ships of would be attackers.
  • One Universe an Emp run was made from inside a DG, with the team Praetorians keeping all others from entering by continually harvesting the neural keysyncs. The Capitalists, who were the then current most powerful team, took extreme umbrage to this, and labeled it an exploit. The Capitalists essentially wiped out the Praetorians for this attempt, leading to that team's destruction, and NAS2's and team-mates leave of the game. Tobal, a young player then, vowed revenge, by becoming even more ruthless than the Capitalists - he later succeeded in becoming Emperor, amid many accusations of exploits / bug abuse.
  • Calypso never received his Emperor's reward at the time: the system of having an item or ship designed and named after you was only instituted with Death Warmed Over's reign. Calypso took umbrage against this, and successfully lobbied the dev team to have his reward placed in game. This was, of course, the Calypso Augmentor and the Emperor's Behemoth. Emperor Bedevere never gained any named items despite two successful reigns, and returning to the game much later on, as the game's owner.
  • The Emperor's crown ship cannot fly by itself, and needs to be tractored by team-mates. Initially the crown ship could enter and fly through warp 4 depending on the skills of the pilot - this lead to a lengthy argument within the player base over whether or not this was a semi-exploit, especially as very few players actually had warp 4 at that point.
  • DeathWarmedOver once completed a properly challenged emp run without a shield equipped on his crown. He ran into Tobal (who was the biggest threat to the emp run back then) en-route to Sol, but his team managed to nullify him before he got to DWO.
  • In his coronation, The Black Viking transwarped the Crown to Sol from Anatolia, bypassing all of Perilous Space. He was subsequently banned for his actions, however this was overturned several days later with an apology from Bageese. He argued it would have been impractical to take the Crown back to Anatolia and restart the run, as he would have made it to Sol regardless.
