History and Purpose
The Core Centurions were not monks or spiritual guardians. They were pure warriors—Imperium’s spearhead in times of conquest.
✔ They were the symbol of Imperium’s might
✔ Trained from childhood in melee combat, strategy, and extreme discipline
✔ They didn’t rely on fleets or armies—they were deployed where war had to be settled with blades and blood
Their training included:
✔ Death matches between recruits to prove their worth
✔ Total mastery of the Gladius, an adaptive weapon only a true Centurion could wield
✔ Extreme endurance—able to fight for days without rest
✔ Adaptability to any environment, from volcanic worlds to zero-gravity stations
The Centurions were key to Imperium’s rise, but as war turned more technological, they were seen as relics of a bygone age.
The Fall of the Centurions
✔ With the rise of long-range warfare, Imperium’s leaders deemed the Centurions obsolete
✔ Their brutality clashed with a new imperial strategy of diplomacy over conquest
✔ Many feared they would become an independent force within Imperium
Eventually, they were betrayed by the very empire they swore to defend.
✔ Ordered to disarm and disband
✔ Some resisted and were executed
✔ The survivors were exiled or turned mercenary
Castor Pollux was among the last in active service… and the only one still wielding the Gladius in battle.
The Last Centurion – The Story of Castor Pollux
✔ Castor was more than a soldier—he was a Core Centurion
✔ Trained in the ancient arts of combat, he mastered every form of the Gladius
✔ He earned his place among the elite through courage and prowess in the field
But everything changed the day he disobeyed an unjust order.
✔ He was commanded to attack a civilian base suspected of rebellion
✔ He refused and assaulted his own commander
✔ Court-martialed and exiled in disgrace, branded a traitor
From that day forward, Castor stopped fighting for Imperium—but he never stopped being a Centurion.
Enemies and Conflicts
Cassius – A Warrior Worthy of the Core
✔ Cassius respects Castor more than most of his enemies
✔ He knows Castor is no ordinary mercenary, but a warrior forged in elite training
✔ Had Cassius been born in Imperium, he might have been a Centurion himself
Imperium – His Former Home, Now His Enemy
✔ Imperium hides the existence of the Core Centurions, branding them as shameful remnants
✔ Some high-ranking officials still remember Castor—and want him dead
Drusila – Seeker of Gladius Secrets
✔ Drusila knows the Gladius is more than a weapon—it’s forbidden technology
✔ If she could replicate it, she would command an army of unstoppable soldiers
