Long live Jay Shah!
they could kill you for that...
The concordant is currently a civilian (leopoldo franca)
upon his retirement, one of the members of the 8-member concordant council will take his place and civilian control will officially end, at the same moment military control of the planets officially end. Practically speaking, both stopped a long time ago.
Shah and his octegenarian associate pavlik tikhomirov have been forced into retirement, along with one admiral. Promotions are occuring and the concordant has announced his retirement within 5 years. Some of these promotions are aspiring younger officers, careerest, and (ostensibly anyway) loyal to the concordant and not the old world orders that have since decayed. The older members of the council fear that they won't have a shot at becoming the next concordant. At the same time, the border war between the Concordance and The neighboring "enlightened lords" of Ophiuchi is heating up, some say deliberately, as Franca may have manufactured a crisis in order to force a unity of his officers.
All this is to say that the time is ripe for a coup, and you all may have a hand in how it goes down.

I challenge anyone to have an older officer.
I didn't know Crew Training Rating could go above 300. Amazing!

« on: March 07, 2014, 02:34:19 PM »it's funny how the right dates can say more than "this guy lived 100 years!"
it's probably just cause I was a history major. I saw "6 September 1698 – 10 March 1807" which to me translates as "around the time of isaac newton" to "around the war of 1812"
Jay Shah was commissioned at the height of the kuzmin directorship, when one human personally controlled every colony in space, and captained many ion-age spacecraft. He personally helped colonize two worlds one of which now has a populations of more than a billion. He lived through the decline of the directorship, several bloody revolutions, a period of democratic reforms, several less bloodly revolutions, and the establishment of a NEW autocratic empire. He's the closest confidant of Leopoldo Franca, concordant of the nine worlds. With a little luck, he'll live long enough to see the Concordance triumph in battle over some very nasty aliens who have recently shown up to menace us.

Maybe he's ready to retire?
What kind of longevity enhancing therapy have you got over there? Maybe your guy gets better medical treatment and still has another 100 years left in him.

What's the oldest officer you've ever had?
I have a 93-year-old admiral and I really think it's time for him to retire, but I dunno.
