Coal, Oil, Forest, Ore and Energy are the simple names for a few of the massive corporations who through brute force have made sure they are not obsolete in the galactic age. To aid them in their conquest of new natural resources they have formed the Imperatus conglomerate.

Gameplay: The Imperatus rely on pure brute force and the reliability of their sturdy and easy to produce armored units. They use simple low rate of fire guns and cannons which tirelessly deals out good damage.

Analogy: Ogres.

Colors: Black and rust." [1]

Fielding only heavy robotic soldiers, including an elite brainbot, with the strong and steady Bullpup Assault Rifle, the Imperatus seem to prefer a grinding style of combat at medium-short range closed quickly using jetpacks. They have no light infantry and their units are significantly slower walking than their Coalition Heavy counterpart but have lighter mass. Metal bodies are more resistant to bullets than fleshbags and the plastic-shelled Dummy robots. Current units are predominantly black. Eye color and accent colors are not standardized.

All current Imperatus robots were previously listed as TradeStar products, including their brainbot (TradeStar Midas now offers a new, light colored Brain Robot). It's possible the Imperatus will have some units best described as "super-heavy", including siege units. Small and bunker-scale turrets, and heavy armored landers all appear in some developer concept sketches (not confirmed in-development). [2]

The heavy-calibre Bullpup Assault Rifle is their signature and, so far, only weapon (others are reported being in development). Its clip size and rate of fire are unimpressive but reload times are comfortable, in keeping with their "tireless" image. In development, a gatling and two sidearms have been mentioned.

Brains

Imperatus Brain Robot

"Brain case mounted on the Imperatus All Purpose Robot frame. This body allows the Brain unit to move around freely while commanding units, but it can by no means survive on its own without good protection."

Stronger than the current Free Trade Brain Robot

Infantry

All Purpose Robot

"Standard all-purpose Imperatus frame, not suitable for prolonged assaults."

Flight time is good. Impact resistance is a weakness. Large head presents a larger target profile.

Combat Robot

"A stronger, more specialized version of the All Purpose Robot, this frame is capable of widthstanding a higher amount of gunshots without shutting down at the cost of lower jetpack power output."

Same arms and legs as the All Purpose Robot, but a more armored head and tougher body.
