“The Golden Brat” Reinhard von Lohengramm, a

ambitions beyond protecting the borders or even defeating the
Empire’s enemies. He seeks to overthrow the old order and
become a truly absolute—yet benevolent—dictator.

wishes to preserve democracy even if he must sacrifice his
political ideals to defeat the Empire. Their political and
military battles play out over a galactic chessboard in an epic
saga fifteen centuries in the making!
