Catherine Calculus

Her Imperial Excellency, Catherine Calculus served as the Empress of Ammerinia from October of 2069 to March of 2084, appointed by Lord Marshal Victor Michaelson and his reformed Imperial Council following the Great Imperial Crisis of 2069. Previously, she had served as as a Lieutenant General within the Imperial Army and was responsible for singlehandedly defeating the Loyalist Insurrection, earning her renown as the savior of the Empire.

With her reign, the Empress sought to restore the expansionist and interstellar vision of the Empire she believed had been previously abandoned, along with the jingoistic projection of Ammerinian supremacy abroad and the economic policy of Automatism. Empress Calculus notably spurred the Empire's intervention in the Eridanus Crisis to sabotage Manguardia's space colonization program, chartered over a dozen new extrasolar colonies such as Goladel, and involved the Empire in the Davinian Crisis back on terra firma.

In 2084, Empress Calculus also oversaw the Quky Incident and sought to claim the island for Ammerinia. The situation escalated greatly with Manguardia's involvement, however, and soon open conflict broke out over the territorial dispute. Disgusted at Lord Marshal Victor Michaelson and the Imperial Council's blatant corrupt coverup of the dispute that had now brought the nation to war, Calculus publicly stepped down as Empress on March 12th, 2084 AWE, with Miles Tiedrich as her appointed successor.
