The Stealth Cruisers are on their way now. To you, it will be a short few months, about a year, before the engagement. There is no reason to believe they will be unsuccessful. Armed with self destruct devices and a fanatically loyal crew- they will not be captured nor give any extra technology to your hated capitalist enemies. But to them? The crews themselves? Their hypersleep began just a few minutes after they left- and they will wake up from that dreamless sleep the moment they enter the target system. For you, it will be a year, for them, a few hours at most.
While within the most Supreme Palace- the Opalescent Palace on Jaxt, you find yourself meandering down the <span class="mu-s">Walk of the Portraits</span>, a collection of every portrait of every Supreme Ruler. Along the way, you stop by the portrait of Talacent Takar- an ancestor of yours.
While he has been known to history as a Takar, his original name was Talacent Inari- a mid-level family of low nobility of little note. While in those days anyone of any bloodline could be selected for Supreme Ruler training- you know he'd have to work harder then most to be chosen. Yet despite that liability- he had a long and industrious reign indeed!
He defended your people from the final assault of the capsule wars, discovered Auzirum and found uses for it. Incorporated the first true alien race into the Hegemony- while largely considered a mistake now- he still managed to raise Bluey- the one good Hazaar. Under him, Nuclear Fusion was unlocked, creating the energy that all future technology and space expansion relied on. He created the first great life extension technologies- and later installed Agori; a controversial but still much beloved Supreme Ruler. All of these things have left to his great legacy- widely considered to be the second greatest Supreme Ruler of all time- only under the great Akule the Unspeakable himself.
For such a man, such a mythical figure, you look at his portrait and think; how honored you are to be of the same bloodline as him. Noble, and righteous. You even share a similar robe color. The Supreme Rulers of the past; their very forms are clad in their greatness and glory- and for a man so glorious, all the treasures in the world should cover him. But you look upon him again.
How many rings does he wear?
How many golden bands wrap around his arms?
How many women did he enjoy outside of his marriage?
How many servants piled him with praise?
How exotic and dangerous is the animal's whose fur adorns his mantle?
How many sheets of Hazaari cloth wrapped his bedchambers?
How much Celestial Wine did he drink?
Where do we see the glory in which he is clad?
