Quick facts:Corsen Messer
Corsen Messer or Corsen Messer V was the fifth Imperator of the UEE, reigning from 2643 until 2662. He was succeded by his daughter Ilyana, who poisoned him and his son Gammon.
Reign
Corsen came to power after his sister,[1] Livia Messer, was severely injured in a spacecraft crash while re-entering Earth's atmosphere, which killed her husband as well as her son, Marius Messer, who would have been next in line.[2]
Corsen Messer widened the range of crimes eligible for capital punishment, raised taxes throughout the UEE, suspended the right to a trial for political crimes, increased censorship, founded the Monumentalist architectural movement, and opened more political prisons on Charon III.[3]
In 2654 the Imperator nationalized all "terraforming support" concerns. As a result, the formerly favored Gold Horizon company collapsed leaving behind space stations that would later be renowned for criminal activity.[4]
Corsen pushed the Monumentalism (strong authoritarian) style of architecture during his reign.[5][6]
He also opened more political prisons on Charon III.[7] In 2670 Charon III received recognition in the Senate via his decree.[1][obsolete information?]
Death
Illyana Messer was suspected for orchestrating his assassination in 2662, using poison to kill both him and his elder son Gammon Messer.[8][9][10]
Family
He was son of Deacon Messer, 2nd Imperator of the UEE. His partner is unknown. He had at least 2 children:
- Gammon Messer, also poisoned in 2662.
- Ilyana Messer VI
