<span class="mu-s">Short Synopsis</span>
The Indigo Supreme Ruler duelist extraordinaire, <span class="mu-s">Eoba Garastra II</span>, creates a secret Ingar clone to help complete the Threemind project. Soon after, he meets the <span class="mu-s">Swall</span>, a highly intelligent alien race of amphibians. Armed with nuclear weapons, there are tense negotiations until the Supreme Ruler agrees to allow them to remain independent in exchange for remaining isolated and disarming. The autonomous zone becomes a feature in the Jaxtian controlled Swalli system- thus completing Eoba II's vow!
Meanwhile, Eoba decides to end the problems of neurotic and unstable Supreme Ruler candidates once and for all by changing the fundamental process of succession- while many alternatives are considered, in the end, the tiniest change of relying not on gene scores but on individual merit is instead used to select the next generation of Jaxtian Supreme Rulers.
Eoba Garastra gives up the seat of power to one <span class="mu-s">Cijan Anak</span>, a two tailed historian with a late-maturity gained form of great intelligence. Cijan advances the Hegemony's infrastructure and technology greatly- unlocking new ship types, building a massive shipyard in the Nan system, and discovering and exploiting a new form of gaseous matter- the Boson-Accumulator Gas.
In order to complete Eoba's Threemind project, and to deal with the large population of Hazaar and Hazaar hybrids living on the now habitable Xin-I colony, Cijan decides to go on a grand crusade to the once Baalathi and Hazaar controlled star clusters- with the long range goal of making first contact with the last big galactic player in local space- the Galactic Society of Aristocrats.
Meanwhile; a certain blue Hazaar by the name of <span class="mu-s">Yaun'Tul Scholiander</span> is plotting to soon release his work in the field of State-Philosophy, which will upset the balance of power in the Hegemony- perhaps forever...

This next thread is a "sidequest", and will explore some of the characters and elements of the Hegemony on the side of the main "plot". It may be a bit shorter then a main "episode", but I hope you enjoy it.
