Hiram Drayson was the first recorded Emperor of the Galaxy (Unknown - October 1997). Little is known about him, but he was a Grand Admiral of the Imperial Navy before his ascension. He and Agent 21, a Jedi assassin and body guard, successfully orchestrated a bloodless coup removing those with pretensions to power completely from the picture.
His reign is generally believed to have been relatively brief but productive. Emperor Drayson successfully procured ships and equipment for the Army and Navy and quickly built the Empire into the preeminent force in the galaxy. He also successfully was able to build an additional super star destroyer when one was the limit he was supposed to be able to possess.
On his ship, Death Knight, he coordinated his forces in successful campaigns and consolidated his power.
At the same time, latent force abilities began to violently manifest causing him great pain. Eventually, Drayson was able to harness these abilities and became an extremely powerful Sith. It was at this time that he started a campaign to recruit Jedi throughout the galaxy and he disappeared for some time leaving his Naval Chief of Staff, Admiral Suntzu in charge.
Upon his return sometime later, it was obvious that the sycophant Vodo Bonias had completely permeated and destroyed much of the progress that had been made to strengthen the Empire. Taking many of his loyal friends and others, he formed a purer iteration of the Empire called the Order of Darkness. The Order was a “best of the best” of the former Empire and possessed many of its strongest capital ships. They established a top secret fortress Alamut and other installations throughout the galaxy.
Forever separated from the Empire, the Order set about subjugating realms and exterminating Jedi. The Empire was dealt it’s most debilitating blow when Lady Dyvel, then the admiral of the Imperial Navy, defected with Officer Evax and the remaining ships and funds left to the Empire. With their long orchestrated defection complete, the Order was now the dominant force in the galaxy and imposed its will where it saw fit.
Unfortunately, the Order’s great secrecy has made it lost to the annals of history. It is a safe bet that it still exists somewhere, but a recent expedition to the fortress Alamut, found the fortress deserted. Nothing of any value was found except a half written love letter, unsigned that looks as if it had been left many years ago.
OOC History
Drayson was controversially deposed as Emperor of the Galactic Empire by Sim Master Fizzban in 1997; thus, setting an administrative precedent. This precedent was later cited by Sim Master Veynom to justify the removal of Emperor Charon in 2003.
