After the ousting of Vessel Suar'kum we found ourselves going through a series of problems. Fakeem, poor boy, was so traumatized by his father's execution that he couldn't even talk without incomprehensibly blubbering for months! We couldn't allow him to lead for that time until he could get over it. After which, we set to explore and industrialize. Our colonies are developing well, and we have accumulated a vast wealth of resources. We've also accelerated and strengthened development in our military program. How have you all been doing?"
