“Truthfully, your Majesty, the Urgi are a species well accustomed to subterfuge and trickery. It has supported their lifestyle in space for hundreds of years. As birds, with hollow bones and coming from low gravity worlds, they are very risk averse. They have none of the honor culture or great brave dueling culture we do. As such, it is well understood that this election will be no different, and not exactly fair and transparent. Each faction, and even individuals is vying for power here. They will do <span class="mu-i">anything</span> to win the vote and become the ruling voice in the new Urgi state; whichever faction wins will gain the political power and consent of the masses, and will likely influence which greater power in space the Urgi ally themselves with. This is a massive moment for them... and a huge opportunity for us. Your father began our relationship with the Accord on a strong foot. Imagine the alliance we could forge with them if they became the dominant faction in Urgi space.”
<span class="mu-b">”Understood. Contact the spymasters, and collect information on the Council. Let's see what kind of chaos I can cause...”</span>
The <span class="mu-s">Redwings</span> are highly militarized and already associated with the Esaal. Their “boiling guns” are of interest to the Esaal; and you know any weapon that interests <span class="mu-i">those</span> warmongers must be extremely worthwhile. They are highly likely to join with their neighboring Esaal before the more decadent and soft Hegemony. The <span class="mu-s">Goldwings</span> on the other hand are extremely mercantile, and will plunge the Urgi into centuries of capitalist degeneration; going hand-in-hand with the Consortium's aims. They've already adopted the Consortium Credit, and each transaction they make is only going to increase the value of their currecny even more. Even culturally, they will likely take more towards the slave-owning and extravagant displays of wealth ways of the Aristocrats then your own culture.
The Urgi as a race and a people are going to become a major player in space. It is inevitable; gaining ownership of a large war-torn region of space with their unique technological history and position as experienced spacers with connections all over the underground mean they are already familiar with many of the perils and opportunities in space. This is nothing like the Hegemony putting out its first measly Star-Dynamo sub-light ships to explore your own solar system. This will be a fully fledged space-fairing empire now in its birthing stages. And you have the opportunity to influence it.
The Accord <span class="mu-i">must</span> win.
