Over the next few weeks, you become trained up and acclimatized to your new role and position of power. In some ways, you wonder if every Supreme Ruler felt the way you do; like you're just supposed to step into some role of another man who has been running the empire for a century right away, and it just feels overwhelming. The sudden amount of information you're exposed to is huge; reports on every sector and industry, machine-state predictions giving you insight into future actions and their consequences, and probably worst of all; your own ideas and desires being put through the wringer of actually having to be made real and concrete. All you have to do is breathe something you think should be changed or improved and a hundred AI models and a thousand experts are already looking into it; simulations and possible cultural impacts served up to you with every perspective analyzed and focus-grouped into an actionable plan. It's scary.

For yourself? You are inheriting the Hegemony from your Father, Avae Anak, which smooths over some aspects of the father-son cultural line of succession to a literal one. He spent his entire reign colonizing the former Hazaari star systems after their cleansing by Hass Takar; and building them up into a formidable empire. Every habitable world there has colonies and fresh cities built, space stations and long-distance industries built up in orbits, research bases, factories, nature preserves, and all the like as advanced and with the infrastructure of the core Hegemonic worlds. To an outsider, these systems would look like they were colonized at the same point in history to your core worlds; not underdeveloped at all; just a fresher coat of paint.

While this has resulted in a huge amount of new livable habitats and created a massive population boom; its main impact has been economic.
