Orion Military Reforms

The Orion Military Reforms were a series of laws passed by Emperor Karl Franz as a way to regulate the amount of authority the military bodies of the Imperium had over the processes of the Senatorum Imperialis. It is named after the Orion Republic as the Emperor felt that the Imperial campaign was hindered greatly by the personal interests of the adepta; however, it would only come into effect after the Gothic Revolts when a large portion of the Adeptus Militarum retracted their support for the Emperor and towards the Illuminati.

Overview
The Orion Crusade was one of the most brutal wars in recent history. Although the Imperium had superior numbers in most engagement, the Orion Republic engaged in guerrilla tactics, whittling the Imperium's forces little by little. The Astra Sparticus attempted to hunt down the perpetrators, but their ships were no match for the swift Orion fleets. As the war dragged on, it became apparent to everyone in the Senatorum that the Imperial Navy and the Adeptus Militarum were not working in unison as they are motivated by their own interests. This deeply frustrated the Emperor, who wanted cohesion within his Imperium. Nevertheless, the two adepta were able to complete his crusade. The Emperor was satisfied with the results, but once commented that the "war could've gone better." His true allegiance would be shown when, during the Ullanor Triumph, held on the enemy's former capital, the Emperor personally gifted many honours directed at the Imperial Navy, which drew the ire of the Adeptus Militarum, who grew resentful at the Emperor.
