HERALDRY, IMPERIAL: Although the idea of coats of arms in an
interstellar society with numerous other means of identification seems
redundant to some, that purpose became a minor one long before the
Empire. Arms are a tradition Emperor Chang thought would serve a
unifying purpose, provide continuity, and give an incentive for service
beyond the expectable but not sufficient to earn a Life Nobility.

While derived from traditional heraldry and having much in common with
it, Imperial heraldry has the advantage of hindsight, which has led to
several improvements. The primary one is in descriptions, where
English replaces Old French, making them understandable to those who
are not specialists in the field. Some traditional terminology has
been retained, either because it is generally understandable or because
there is no reasonably concise English equivalent. Most terms,
however, translated without difficulty; the slightly longer
descriptions are acceptable because of the greatly increased clarity.
The only exception to this is in the actual Grant of Arms itself, where
the traditional blazoning is still used (though an English translation
is provided on a separate sheet).

The heraldic colors remain predominantly the bright primary ones:
silver (now platinum) or white, and gold or yellow, called metals;
black, blue, green, and red, called colors. Less-used colors are
orange, purple, brown, and "flesh tone". Taken together, colors and
metals are referred to as tinctures. Anything described as "proper" is
shown in its normal coloring. Only two of the numerous traditional
heraldic "furs" are in Imperial use, ermine (white with black spots)
and counter-ermine (black with white spots). As a rule, metal should
not be placed on metal or color on color, although exceptions--mostly
in the case of charges described as "prope
