Quoted By:
While the idea to bring honor to your family name, a lofty ambition, is at the forefront of your mind- you decide with all honesty and sincerity that you are more after your own personal reputation and glory here. Young and hungry for approval from the Supreme Ruler- you know your ambition will not be looked down upon, but instead celebrated.
<span class="mu-g">”In that case, my Lord, I wish to prove myself. I want to earn my place among the heroes of the Hegemony's past- and earn myself a Golden Band.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”And I shall give you one. When you earn it.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”Yes, my Master! I will not fail you!”</span>
You are now <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Bantam Falathane</span></span>, the <span class="mu-s">Supreme Ruler of the Hegemony</span>. It is currently <span class="mu-s">Year 64 of the Resurrection Era</span>, and you are getting impatient.
For the past several years, you have been doing nothing but prepare- prepare for an attack by a rival power in your part of the Galaxy- the <span class="mu-i">Consortium</span>. They embody the opposite of your people and culture- a multi-racial-cosmopolitan, egalitarian, degenerate capitalist society. The stakes are high here- the battle itself may be a token conflict- but it represents the differences in ideology. To lose to them would put your reign forevermore in disgrace- and make it seem as though your grand and mighty unbroken chain of Supremacy has lost to the rabble. It must not be.
You make a mental checklist of your current position.
You are the <span class="mu-s">Supreme Ruler</span> of the Hegemony- the political and cultural center of your entire empire. Wielding absolute power; you are the sole mind and voice which guides the <span class="mu-s">Hegemony</span>. The Hegemony is a interstellar empire made up of the <span class="mu-s">Jaxtian</span> race- a species of primate native to your lush homeworld of Jaxt. After many years of eugenic control and constant technological advancement; you have become quite formidable against other forces in space.
You own and have colonized one whole <span class="mu-s">Star-Cluster</span> which includes several stars, habitable planets, space habitats, industrial systems, and an in-progress ecumenopolis. Your population will soon reach <span class="mu-i">300 Billion Jaxtians</span>, who create the intellectual and commercial profit to power your empire.
You currently have access to <span class="mu-s">Mark II Fusion Cores</span>, which rely on deuterium or tritium fuel to operate as opposed to pure hydrogen- the most common and plentiful element in the universe.
You currently can build and have a fleet of <span class="mu-s">Crusier-Class</span> ships. You do not have the capabilities to build <span class="mu-i">Battleship-Class</span> ships, which are much more powerful.
