While the donning of the Death-Mask is a massive event for your history, there may be another way to hallmark the beginning of this grand new era- your own death and resurrection. You often forget about how... special you are, truly, since that fateful day you were put into the machine. You are the only Jaxtian in history to undergo true and total brain death without possibility of resuscitation and yet came back to life. It's a huge event in the Hegemony's truest and most intimate goals- the defeat of death and entropy.
The name, also, fits the political landscape. Centuries of political stagnation uprooted all at once. The removal of one very old families, the Dulioans, from the inner circles of the Hegemonic elite. The first blonde Supreme Ruler, and many more. It's a brand new world. You will name this the <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Resurrection Era</span></span>.
<span class="mu-b">”My lord, the chronicle is finished.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Good, Cijan. I thank you for being such a trustworthy ally, especially given the tumultuous... start of our relationship. There are so few willing to show any initiative since the time of obedience began.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Thank you, my lord. Speaking of, I just wish to say that against all of our challenges in the recent years, you have risen to meet them.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Are you becoming a suck up too now?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”No. I wish for you to read between the lines.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”...Don't play games with me, Anak.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”When our enemies amass their strength; you amass strength in return. When our enemies subvert our nations, you amass the ability to subvert their own. This is righteous and good, in all ways, that a Supreme should be. I merely add this observation; you charge in the enemy head on, when ways to strike them in how they are weak are being ignored.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”I see. I'll accept your unsolicited advice. Anything else I should know about how I am butting heads with our rival powers like a stubborn Vetucker.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”There is a third power, you know. The Aristocrats. It has been a very long time since we've heard from Farro Val. You are his relative, and I was his friend. Perhaps we should check in on his progress as well.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”Ahh- that IS some good advice! Thank you Cijan. You are dismissed.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”As you wish.”</span>
Of course, you had almost forgotten! It had been many years since anyone has contacted the old captain- Farro Val, your uncle. He became a highly respected cultural liaison between the Jaxtian people and the Galactic Society of Aristocrats in exchange for the miraculous life machine. You decide to contact the GSA immediately.
The Aristocrats are not a collective but instead more of a loose confederation of extremely wealthy, immortal, and powerful elites. With biotechnology and advanced history and culture going back millennia, they are the most culturally and well developed of all of our neighbors.
