Era-2 Overview

Era-2 starts with the birth of Potus Clarke, who would go on to be the god-Emperor of the Holy Empire of Man.  The imperial calendar starts with Clarke's birth, and denotes years as Year of the Emperor (abbreviated YE).  Where dates overlap with Era-1, the Galactic Standard Calendar (GSC) date is also noted. 

The Holy Empire of Man

The Holy Empire of Man (HEM) was the dominant faction of Era-2, conquering most of the galaxy, and ruling with an iron fist.  Founded under the aegis of the Church of God, with its capitol on Gabriel, the Empire was marked by its militarism, fanatical devotion to (and eventually worship of) the Emperor, and strict hierarchical society.  Those who stood in opposition were put down quickly and decisively.
