You have a small theory- some of Agori's stress may have been caused by <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">being overloaded as a leader</span></span>. In the time of Vantix, the Supreme Ruler only had to rule over Jaxt. One planet. But with each generations, new colonies, technologies, and alien species were discovered or brought under rule. Perhaps Agori was simply overwhelmed from trying to do too much, and you don't intend to slide like he did at the end of your time as Supreme Ruler.
You will assign <span class="mu-s">Overseers</span>, high ranking pseduo-supremes with relative autonomy. You have two divisions in mind, an Overseer for Science and an Overseer for Aliens and diplomacy. You will <span class="mu-i">not</span> have an Overseer for the military or space fleet, because all power comes from a single source- armed force. The Supreme Ruler is the master of the army, and remains the master of the Hegemony's power. You will assign high ranking individuals in the Hegemony to these positions- taking the burden of leadership off of you.
Hoewever, as the Hegemony is a highly eugenic nation and your science has advanced to this point- you can also grow Indigo clones of previous Supreme Rulers and Supreme Candidates to these positions. The Hegemony keeps extensive genetic records of every single person under its control- but most were lost when Alavis went berserk. Besides just deleting genetic databanks, Alavis also destroyed physical samples- meaning many of your previous Supreme Rulers no longer have DNA samples to work with.
<span class="mu-s">Vantix's</span> corpse is still in a spaceship somewhere, flying at 1% the speed of light, having not yet even reached the closest star system; it's in deep space. However, you could probably find it with the help of your worm advisor's abilities, though you might owe him a favor.
<span class="mu-s">Qet and Bost's</span> corpses were lost a long time ago, buried and decayed. <span class="mu-s">Maktana's</span> corpse however as preserved in an ice cave on Caplit, and was out of reach of Alavis's wrath. It would be trivial to recover a sample of his DNA.
<span class="mu-s">Vul's</span> body was lost to Max when the Cirrus sunk, and <span class="mu-s">Kinja's</span> was buried.
<span class="mu-s">Talacent's</span> body was given to the Haazar and is also well preserved. <span class="mu-s">Eoba</span> was buried in a graveyard for veterans of the capsule wars... but you are him. You have a sample of his DNA, a clone of a clone.
<span class="mu-s">Agori</span> and <span class="mu-s">Ingar</span> both died recently, and their bodies are fresh enough to give good samples. <span class="mu-s">Kimnan</span> is still alive, and so is HIS clone.
So you have seven. Out of a thousand years of history; and only the DNA of seven Supreme Rulers have the chance to lead the Hegemony once again.
