It that century 700-800 M30 two events were to be remembered, the later stage of the Unification or the reclaiming of the Star, or so would say the newly created remembrancer. The Sigillite, as they called him had taken careful consideration to ensure that obedience via truth was enacted swiftly. An old motto from his private inquiry of the past described the situation, The old principle of Trotsky. Who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced with a new one: who does not obey shall not eat
Less than a Century after the nominal Unification of Terra, fifty years after the treaty of Olympus binding the Mechanicum to Revelation, or as they called him the Omnissiah, mattered lingered.
The nobility and various old timer were often still unaccustomed to answering to the Emperor, paying barely lips service or delaying the tithes that were due, by many years.
The failed Palace coup, a conspiracy was led by Grand Provost Marshal Uwoma Kandawire, Thunder Warriors Primarch Ushotan, and Biotechnical Division head Amar Astarte not so far remove in time, certainly not from The Sigillite memory. Indeed conspirators intended to remove Constantin Valdor from power and put him on trial for the massacre of Arrarat, and indeed they failed. Deep purges had followed the event in the Palace and quandaries still plagued on the Beotian and Panpacific Territories.
The first found Son of the Emperor, Alpharius existence had been revealed in the conspiracy to the Custodians. They were believed lost at first, forever taken by chaos. It was seemingly not the case, but the Adeptus Custodes was not privy to such information. The welp Alpharius, Primarch XX had even dared to show the weakness of the palace defense, leading to the institution of the Blood after his willing elimination of a custodian to prove a point. A grudge that dwelled within the Custodian for killing one of them.
Malcador resumed his study, as First Lord of Terra. The new policies of unification purchased limited but strategic consent with the material incentives of social reform and the political incentives
of jobs for all classes. Potent politicians in cities and countryside accepted those offerings to rejoin the Senatorum Imperialis, the postwar democratic spring.
Lower classes suffered since several years of severe food shortages, that could not be solved for the time being, postponed to the next millennia. Social mobility declined, after the stabilization brought by his Rules and yet according to all signals the Imperium was still an Empire of Cities, most of the countryside being more tributaries states that really controlled land, while subtly intricated to depend on each other while simultaneously resenting one another.
