Ramshackle Empire : - Common term used during the Long Night to refer to the Rule of Man, also known as the Second Imperium. As the successor to the First Imperium (Ziru Sirka), the Rule of Man took over the territories (and the problems) of its predecessor. Pro-Second Imperium histories contend that the Rule of Man delayed the inevitable collapse. Pro-First Imperium histories claim that the First Imperium was stagnant, but stable, and that the Ramshackle Empire actually precipitated the Long Night by looting subject worlds and promoting Terran superiority.
Repatriation Bond : - A document guaranteeing passage of an individual to a specified location upon completion of contract work or upon suspension of contract work for any reason.

They are most commonly used by mercenary units. Repatriation bonds are usually administered by a large financial institution which holds the necessary funds in escrow.
