Livia Messer III

Livia Messer III (2593-2661) was [Imperator](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5BoJ9wl-uee-imperator) of the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) from 2628 to 2643. She inherited the office from her father, [Deacon Messer II](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0j46m4BYge-deacon-messer-ii), when he voluntarily stepped down. Livia expanded her father's legal reform efforts by increasing the maximum sentences for convicted criminals and restructuring the definition of prisons, allowing her to build political prisons on Charon III. She also increased government oversight of media, effectively establishing an unofficial office of propaganda, and restricted travel in the interest of security. She, her husband Daniel Scota, and her son [Marius](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxNxAgrXZz-marius-messer-iv) were victims of a shuttle crash in 2641, when their craft malfunctioned upon atmospheric re-entry above Moscow, Earth (Sol III). Though she survived, the rest of her family did not. She retired in 2643, after giving her son the honorary title Marius IV. She died in her sleep in 2661; one month before Deacon II.

Sie erbte das Amt von ihrem Vater, [Deacon Messer II](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0j46m4BYge-deacon-messer-ii), als dieser freiwillig zurücktrat. Livia erweiterte die Rechtsreformbemühungen ihres Vaters, indem sie die Höchststrafen für verurteilte Kriminelle erhöhte und die Definition von Gefängnissen umstrukturierte, was ihr erlaubte, politische Gefängnisse auf Charon III zu bauen. Außerdem erhöhte sie die staatliche Aufsicht über die Medien, indem sie effektiv ein inoffizielles Propagandaamt einrichtete und Reisen im Interesse der Sicherheit einschränkte. Sie, ihr Ehemann Daniel Scota und ihr Sohn [Marius] (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxNxAgrXZz-marius-messer-iv) wurden im Jahr 2641 Opfer eines Shuttle-Absturzes, als ihr Raumschiff beim Wiedereintritt in die Atmosphäre über Moskau (Sol III) eine Fehlfunktion hatte. Sie überlebte, der Rest ihrer Familie jedoch nicht. Sie zog sich im Jahr 2643 zurück, nachdem sie ihrem Sohn den Ehrentitel Marius IV. verliehen hatte. Sie starb im Jahr 2661 im Schlaf, einen Monat vor Deacon II.
