Synopsis:

March 3rd, 102 AF, three days after the fall of the Coreen Republic, Merlmer and Kress visit the Emperor. They request a small portion of the planet to be granted autonomously to them. The Emperor declines, but instead bequeaths them a smallish colonized moon of the Republic as a Duchy of the realm. Merlmer accepts, and becomes the First Duke of Klargia.

Merlmer appoints Robert Schriever as the Regent of Klargia, and Earl of London. Kress, made Grand Admiral of the Klargian Navy, is granted the Earldom of Springfield. K'yrth is made Count of L'il Thoros, and Supreme Commander of the Klargian Army. Ramirez accepts the Barony of Green Meadow Sunshine. Maalor contents himself as head of the Isengard Institute for Advanced Technological Engineering. Vyncynt, less interested in titles, is appointed Commandant of the Fredricksburg Penal Colony. Merlmer plans to convert one of the orbital mining platforms into the Asgard Star Fortress. He also arranges for one of the captured Republican destroyers to be given to Klargia. By a strange coincidence, it is also an old Pachekki design. The Grim Satisfaction is sent to Iraar for refitting.

Before the crew leaves for the frontier, the Emperor requests that they go to Iraar and apply for membership in the Alliance on behalf of the Empire. Merlmer agrees. At Iraar, the Empire becomes the first nation to apply for membership since the Alliance was founded. The Empire is accepted as a new Alliance member. While at Iraar, Kress contracts a Pachekki shipyard to lay the keel for the President Klarg, a new Klargian Battlecruiser. The crew then returns to the Empire. Merlmer formally establishes Schriever before the Klarg Star One leaves.
