Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar was an ancient Human leader, notable for his role as the Dictator of the Roman Republic, which was the precursor to the Roman Empire. From 50-49 BLF Julius Caesar bidded for more and more power in Rome, and after a civil war there he emerged as the supreme ruler of Rome and thus he established one of the most important pre-industrial empires in all of Human history. In around 47 BLF, Caesar was, like most world leaders of the era, made aware of the League and its function. Although initially hostile to the idea of a dominating 'alien' force, Caesar saw an oppurtunity with the League and queried them on technological advancements that could aid his already impressive military force. Before long the Roman Civilisation was one of the most powerful in the world.

After assuming control of government, Caesar began a program of social and governmental reforms, including the creation of the Julian calendar. He centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed "dictator in perpetuity". However, in 44 BLF, Caesar was assassinated by a group of Senators led by his former friend, Brutus, and more civil wars broke out. Caesar's eventual successor, Augustus, went on to claim power and establish the Roman Empire, thus centralising power in Europe and most of the world.

Caesar's plight was observed with interest by the League, who despite their disgust at the idea of a complete dictator, could not intervene due to their laws on self-development. During Caesar's reign, four ships were sent to planet Earth in order to observe the development of the Romans and the League's interest in this matter would eventually lead to many more ships arriving on Earth during that era - leading to the fatal collision and subsequent crash of a League Scout Vessel to prematurely erupted Mount Vesuvius in 79 PLF, over 100 years later, that destroyed the Roman town of Pompeii.
