Oppression

The Oppression is a organization in Ultima V. After the Resistance against Blackthorn's regime got stronger with each day, the dark tyrant called a counter organization into life, with the ultimate goal to cement his rule for eternity and root out any opposition: The Oppression. The members of the Oppression do everything to help their ruler, going deep to the dark side. After the end of Blackthorn's rule, the Oppression was forcibly destroyed.

The password of the Oppression is "IMPERA".

The Avatar infiltrated the Oppression as a lip-service to get possession of the Black Badge. However, other than that, the Oppression had no big part at all in the game itself.

In Ultima V: Lazarus, there are many quests for the Oppression, and even an alternative ending, with Blackthorn winning.
