In Recent History The Saorian Union after almost a century of democratic unification and having their 'Golden Era' as the economy boomed & drove extensive exploration, scientific, & colonization efforts far across the frontiers of their system & into the newly discovered Varrot system, However the Saorian Union began to show signs of rapid decline this was made worse by the resurgence of space pirates which harassed transports & colonies throughout Union space. In response to the increase in piracy the Saorian Union began to enlarge their military & naval forces and earnestly began to combat hostile factions, over several years good progress was made against pirate factions but ultimately they were unable to eradicate them as a result the military kept growing while sustaining the existing active forces already in service. With the further expansion of the military & its costs there began wide-spread concern that the Saorian Union would repeat the same economic failure as the previous regime which had exhausted itself on military expenditures shortly after contact with other races had occurred. Despite the concern the Saorian union was stable for the next few decades but economic stagnation began to spread across union space, the previous boom & drive that had drove them onward was now all gone and conservatism took hold instead of progressiveness, the home & core worlds were becoming barely stable while the outlying colonies began to suffer as a result, Additionally the colonization & development of the Varrot system came to a halt the colonists having to make do with what they had to sustain themselves. Shortly after the democratic Saorian Union's government proved unable to effectively reform itself and descended into corruption as officials tried to keep their preferential positions over attending their proper duties in the failing economy. as a result Saorian society spiraled downwards as hope dwindled while daily life became more & more difficult for the common people, vain decadence & crime harshly increased as corruption spread through Saorian society itself and human life became near worthless. However there were still people who concerned over the current state of affairs & for the future of the human race, upon seeing the illness in their society these people decided to take drastic action thus began the start of the Rozen dictatorship. The following year an outstanding military officer who had achieved the rank of admiral at the very young age of twenty-seven which was unprecedented as previously the youngest to achieve that rank was thirty-nine, The officer had quickly climbed the ranks due to their expert leadership in multiple campaigns against hostile factions over the years & responsible for the annihilation of several notorious pirate factions, tactical & political ingenuity, & advanced military reforms including extensive changes to military training doctrines. There were some that criticized Admiral Rozen for being 'unforgivably ruthless' when they'd dealt with the pirate groups that were destroyed but the cheer & praise of the majority overwhelmingly drowned out the critics. Due to the pitiful circumstances in Saorian society the citizens flocked and cheered their charismatic young new heroine, At the age of twenty-nine admiral Lucrecia Von Rozen retired from military service and entered into politics with the support of like minded officers & young idealistic politicians that were drawn to her in their desire to bring humanity back from the brink and revitalize both society & the economy. Lucrecia Rozen was promptly elevated in political circles for her social reforms & programs, and easily earned a seat in the Saorian parliament where her influence continued to spread exponentially as she established herself as the leader of the 'National reform party' in every following election the national reform party grew ever more influential within the government and Minister Rozen had firmly established a solid political base. Soon the party held strong influence over most of the parliament seats and in another election Minister Rozen was elected president and influential members of the reform party took other high seats in government including the prime minister position, There was outspoken concern by other democratic parties over the amount of power & influence the reform party now held as even combined they didn't have the political power to oppose the reform party in anything. Over a steady course of time President Rozen displayed numerous examples of creating a dictatorship, and early on disallowing freedom of speech & press in laws that were quickly & overwhelmingly passed just to give as examples, Additionally brought discipline to government officials & routed out the corruption, reformed the emergency & law enforcement agency's revitalized law enforcement vigorously enforced judicial activities which caused crime & corruption to greatly decrease & further gaining the support of the populace. Lucrecia Von Rozen shortly afterwards was proclaimed 'president for life!' by the reform party & received overwhelming support and celebration from the public whose lives had improved dramatically with the changes & social reforms they'd made during the party's rise to power. Having eventually gained complete control a year later they officially founded & established 'The Rozen Imperium' and proclaimed Lucrecia Von Rozen Empress the first member of the ruling Imperial Rozen Dynasty. The Saorian parliament tried to form a democratic opposition party but they were discovered and arrested for treason and the parliament was disbanded as a result, positions of authority & power were assigned to talented reform party loyalists creating a new nobility class and the imperial senate to help manage governing of the newly established Empire. Then following changes that occurred under the guise of strengthening the Empire proclaimed that non-human species were partly responsible for the decline in society under the previous regime, others declaring they took up valuable jobs during the economic decline which they preformed poorly at which is what hurt the economy more. Other such claims were made & soon the populous rallied against any xenos species not original natives to the system. The more fanatical of the public proclaiming they had to 'remove the elements which weaken humanity', following these events the 'impure genes exclusion law' got passed which targeted the disabled, physically weak, demi-humans, etc... As a result of the of the loss of social freedoms & the dissolvement of the parliament, not to mention the execution of the traitors trying to revive democracy, The few remaining Saorian democratic loyalists formed a rebel faction to oppose the empire thus started the "Democratic Liberation Army". Two years had passed before the DLA managed to organize a rebellion which took some outer rim holdings with surprise but their effort was short lived as the overwhelming military might of the Rozen Empire had mobilized with astounding speed and promptly shattered the DLA's fleet & majority of their forces with little effort, Currently the scattered & isolated remnants of the DLA forces are being dealt with as Imperial forces continue the fight to reclaim the stolen territory from the DLA terrorists.
