By the end of 1791, the expeditions began their return to Caphiria. They brought back not just maps and resources but also stories, cultures, and allies. The Imperium's tapestry was richer, more vibrant, and the CU's reputation was solidified. The Grand Expeditions were not just about exploration; they symbolized the unity and diversity of the Imperium under the guidance of the Urban Cohort. The legacy of the Grand Expeditions lived on. New trade routes, cultural exchanges, and alliances set the stage for the Imperium's golden era. Arturpiulerix's gamble had paid off, and the CU emerged as the beacon of the Imperium's might and vision.

With the Cohort proving its effectiveness in the Grand Expeditions, Arturpiulerix expanded their role to become the administrative backbone of the Imperium. The CU established ''Praesidia Urbanae'', fortified administrative centers in strategic locations. These centers were part city, part fortress, and part academy. They were hubs of learning, where local populace was educated about the Imperium's laws and ideals, ensuring a smoother integration of the provinces.

During the early 19th century, Arturpiulerix and the Consilium Cohortis began the process of codifying the vision and objectives of the CU. The ''Codex Urbanae'' was penned, a comprehensive document detailing the role, responsibilities, and future direction of the Cohorte Urbana. This codex was not just a military document; it encompassed philosophy, governance, and even cultural integration strategies. It became the guiding light for the CU in the years to come. The following years saw the CU mature into a well-oiled machine. They shifted their focus from aggressive expansion to consolidation. The ''Praesidia Urbanae'' grew in importance, becoming centers of trade, education, and culture. The CU's role as guardians of the Imperium was firmly established. They maintained peace, facilitated trade, and ensured that the vast and diverse Imperium functioned as a cohesive entity.

With the introduction of the ''Codex Urbanae'', a series of reforms were initiated. The "''Leges Urbanae''" or Urban Laws, inspired by the principles of the Codex, were introduced. These laws focused on urban planning, architectural standards, and sustainable development, ensuring cities under CU's protection flourished. Part of the Urban Laws mandated that every major urban area, especially those of strategic importance, had to have a CU garrison. These garrisons were not just military bases but also served as administrative hubs. Their placement was carefully chosen to respond rapidly to any threats or civic issues. The Urban Laws also introduced a sophisticated surveillance system. Watchtowers (''Turris Speculorum'') were built at regular intervals along city walls. Nightly patrols were mandated, and a signaling system using flags and bells was set up for communication across different parts of a city. The Urban Laws also outlined emergency protocols for the CU; granaries and medical centers were to be stocked, evacuation routes were clearly marked, and regular drills were conducted to ensure preparedness.
