Aleister Vadim is the enigmatic and powerful leader of the Galactic Empire. There exist no records on Vadim and his role before assuming the throne is shrouded in mystery; what is known amongst the highest echelons of the Empire is that Vadim hails from the war-torn cluster of Vadimus, which he had conquered at an unknown point in history. Although unsubstantiated, rumors that Vadim is non-human circulated during the attempted coup, backed up by comments in his public address and assertions made by Kreldin. These rumors were immediately combated by Imperial authorities as treasonous lies.
