History
Percussium was discovered in 1850 IC. When it was found it was seized by the Imperial Guard, and the miners were all murdered to keep the secret. It was taken directly to the Emperor  who misconstrued its potentials, and instead saw it as a symbol of his divine reign. The Red-Rush was an 800 year war fighting over six tons of scattered Percussium.
