'''Corsen Messer''' or '''Corsen Messer V''' was the fifth [[StarCitizen:Imperator]] of the [[StarCitizen:UEE]], reigning from 2643 until 2662. He was succeded by his daughter [[StarCitizen:Illyana Messer VI|Illyana Messer]], who poisoned him and his son [[StarCitizen:Gammon Messer|Gammon]].

== Reign ==
Corsen came to power after his sister,<ref name="Galactic Guide p. 46">''Galactic Guide: Charon System'', [[StarCitizen:Jump Point (magazine)|Jump Point]], vol. 05, no. 3, p. 46.</ref> [[StarCitizen:Livia Messer]], was severely injured in a spacecraft crash while re-entering [[StarCitizen:Earth|Earth's]] atmosphere, which killed her husband as well as her son, [[StarCitizen:Marius Messer]], who would have been next in line.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15998-Loremakers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy|text=Loremaker's Guide To The Galaxy: Charon System}}</ref>

Corsen Messer widened the range of crimes eligible for capital punishment, raised taxes throughout the [[StarCitizen:UEE]], suspended the right to a trial for political crimes, increased censorship, founded the [[StarCitizen:Monumentalist architectural movement]].<ref name="Galactapedia: Corsen Messer V">[https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0OaB8O6awO-corsen-messer-v Galactapedia: Corsen Messer V], acc. 2020-02-01</ref>

In [[StarCitizen:2654]] the Imperator nationalized all "[[StarCitizen:terraforming]] support" concerns. As a result, the formerly favored [[StarCitizen:Gold Horizon]] company collapsed leaving behind space stations that would later be renowned for criminal activity.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/14364-Gold-Horizon|text=Galactic Guide - Gold Horizon|int=Comm-Link:Galactic Guide - Gold Horizon}}</ref>

Corsen pushed the [[StarCitizen:Monumentalism]] (strong authoritarian) style of architecture during his reign.<ref>[https://youtu.be/K3kD6cCagzA?t=7m38s YouTube - The Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy - Castra System]</ref><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15442-Loremakers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy|text=The Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy - Castra System}}</ref>

== Death ==

His daugther Illyana was suspected for orchestrating his assassination in 2662, using poison to kill both him and his elder son Gammon Messer.<ref name="Galactapedia: Corsen Messer V"/><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15582-Loremakers-Guide-To-The-Galaxy|text=Loremakers Guide To The Galaxy: Leir System|accessdate=2020-02-01}}</ref>
