History
The origins of the Imperial Order lie with the Ly'Technomaezji, a college of Technomages associated with the Imperial Government since the foundation of the Imperial Republic. It maintained a monopoly on advanced technologies within what was still a regressive and feudal society in the wake of the destruction of Khaz Modan. As a repository of knowledge the Ly'Technomaezji were able to assist the Kaisers in facing down the threats posed by far superior technological civilisations such as those found in the islands of Jasonia.
The Ly'Technomaezji, over time, divested themselves of the trappings of arcane lore, which became more the preserve of the Rrakanychan Watch and instead cultivated an interest in the application of eschatology and its related sciences as an influencing factor in political decision making.
Renamed the Ordo Imperii Decima (Imperial Order of Decima) or simply the Order of Decima in 1651. The directing committee became swiftly bogged down in the implications of the new name when transliterated into Praeta.

Nuclear Deterrent
Operation Tymarian Sun (1641) was the first publicly noted atomic weapons test conducted by the Imperial Republic. Comprised of twin detonations carried out over the island of Ura'Bos the tests sparked panic in the Empire of the Alexandrians and prompted international condemnation, whilst at the same time providing evidence of the Imperial Republic's deterrent capabilities in the face of a belligerent and nuclear armed Jingdao.
