Linton Messer XI (2745-2792) was the last of the Messers to occupy the office of [Imperator](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5BoJ9wl-uee-imperator) in the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). He assumed control of the UEE in 2781 after seizing power from his father, [Ulysses Messer X](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bBp6YZPOGO-ulysses-messer-x). During his reign, he sold the [terraforming](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3qgj8vjnj-terraforming) rights of Garron II to a private company with connections to his family, knowing that the planet was inhabited by sentient beings. Revolutionary group Tide leaked footage of the resulting carnage to the media, sparking the [Anti-Messer Revolution](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bE3rKa32P7-anti-messer-revolution). During the uprising, Linton was killed in office.
