Emperor

Aaron: /* Past Emperors */

''This page refers to the player emperor, emperor can also refer to [[Emperor Shaddam Kilrathi IV]]''
----
The '''Emperor''' of the Universe! The head honcho! The big cheese! Generally known as either the most powerful or the sneakiest man in the universe, he is the one who has claimed and been crowned in [[Sol]] as the reigning leader of the current universe. Unfortunately, the universe generally collapses soon after an Emperor is crowned and everyone and their ship-bound belongings are hurled into a new, infinitely stranger and more complex [[universe]].
== New System ==
HAL:
"Since some people have been asking, here is what we have planned for emperor runs.

Starting next universe, there will be a new galaxy where the palace is located. You will not be able to build any additional bases in this galaxy, though you will be able to deploy permanent drones to help defend. The [[Palace]] has also been upgraded to a T20 kit, so you can put some decent defenses on it. Once the universe has reached a sufficient level 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 3 teams.

After claiming the palace, you will have to build a [[Emperor's Crown|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, the director of your team will have to make the trip to [[Sol]] in the [[Emperor's Crown|crown ship]] and dock at Earth Central.

As the reigning emperor of the universe, you will gain several benefits. The director and councilors of the reigning team will get beneficial [[Auras|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. Additionally, the [[Palace]] will have a built in (sticky) Imperial Mint that can be used to create unclean imperial seals if you supply the materials to it. Of course, at any time other teams can challenge your reign by assaulting the palace.

* 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 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. 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 [http://www.starsonata.com/screens/Palace.jpg (Picture)] has been captured and takes place when the attempted-emperor pilots the Emperor's Crown [http://www.freewebs.com/svartalfheim/ss96comparissonlarge8vn.jpg (Picture)] from the palace to the [[Emperor's Club]] in [[Sol]]. The Emperor's Crown cannot dock anywhere else.

== Benefits ==
The Emperor has the privilege to design his or her own item. Also, selected members of the Emperor's team are bestowed with an extra level of [[Augmenter Tweaking]] and other members are bestowed upon by the Emperor, [[Imperial seals]] that can be used to train certain skills. All members of an Emperor's team gain a yellow star next to their character's name when seen by other people in-game.

== Past Emperors ==
*Bedevere (2)
*Calypso (2)
*DeathWarmedOver (2)
*Tobal (1)
*Jey123456 ([[Eminence Front]]) (1)
*Bizman (2)
*swingarm (1)
*fordail1 (1) - fordail1 was never crowned due to the nature of his victory. The dev team viewed the practise of the entire player base joining one team as against the spirit of the contest.
*Trevor ([[Strawberry Pancakes]]) (2)
*FracOMac ([[Strawberry Pancakes]]) (1)
*Llessur (1)
* *** Kennedy *** ([[Zephyr]]) (1)
*TBBT/number666.5 ([[Resident Evil]]) (3/4) Didn't hold till reset, so never officially got emperor.
*The Black Viking ([[Resident Evil]]) (1)
*Metatron ([[Resident Evil]]) (1) Didn't hold till reset, so never officially got emperor.

== Emperor Items==
*[[Weapons#Heat_Weapons|Death Warmed Over]] - DeathWarmedOver
*[[Weapons#Physical_Weapons|Swingarm's Flaming Catapult]] - swingarm
*[[Rovert Nanobotics Factory]] - Trevor
*[[Translocators|Singularity Brake]] - Jey123456
*[[Augmenters#Other_Uncommon_Augmenters_.28Tech_10-20.29|Calypso Augmenter]] - Calypso
*[[Emperor's Behemoth]] - Calypso
*[[Protection of Tobal]] - Tobal - Wasn't actually created, but was an old item that was renamed for him.
*[[Heaven's Descent]] - Trevor

== 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.
