Talk:Imperious Leader

Untitled
Could "Imperious" have been intended to follow a more Roman meaning, as in Imperator?

Imperious Leader posits that the command heirarchy was consensual. Perhaps this reflects the way in which the Roman Republic conferred titles such as Magistrate, Consul and latterly Imperator on aspiring Citizens.

Perhaps the similarities don't end there...

As I understand it, "Imperious" was chosen over "Imperial" or "Emperor" because of the close similarity to the Empire of Star Wars, which was fresh in everyone's minds at the time. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  17:37, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

German "Reich"
Hi,

I just wanted to be point out that there is no one "correct" translation of Reich; it can mean Empire and State, depending on the particular context, and even then it can be ambigious. The original meaning is from the verb to reign, and so it just describes the piece of earth over which a particular king has control.

Now Reichsführer is a Führer of the Reich, meaning belonging to the Reich (and not the Führer himself!), and so the overall translation of Reichsführer to Imperious Leader is nevertheless wrong, since it implies this person (or better robot) has control over the state/empire whereas a Reichsführer has only control over a particular organization belonging to the Reich, and so is a servant of the Reich.
