Emperor Benito's funeral, amid much pomp and fascism, has taken place on Austini 55 amid one of the largest security operations in HCS history. Despite rumours of Benito's death in an explosion not being an accident (and indeed ordered by Oojok) the Emperor's iron guard, the 2nd Legion, did not cause any trouble but respectfully took their leader to his funeral pyre under secular Clone conditions while Oojok and other dignitaries looked on.
Benito was carried in a casket atop his personal T-88++ tank (a veteran of the invasion of New Rome) followed by an entire brigade of elite armoured troops. Thousands more HCS troops lined the path many carrying banners proclaiming Benitoism and various fascist sayings. Acting Emperor Marcus gave a eulogy to his old commander and promised that "Benito's spirit would live on and that he would carry out the wishes of the Benito Clone project."
