Military 5- Recruit General
The Hammer. (she/her) Doctrine: Hammer's Vengeance (+4 to battle rolls used offensively while being attacked)
The Hammer was a surprisingly effective Diplomatic Agent and is a terror in a fight. She was deemed a natural choice to lead the Glic Armed Forces by Snimt'Glek. Naturally, her political powers in this position were immediately turned joining her party to the coalition government seeking to replace Snimt'Glek.
Military- Recruit a Space Unit
The Hammer's Basilica is retrofitted for War, becoming The Anvil.
Military- Recruit a Ground Unit.
Carrier Group- Soulstorm
Military Snimt'Glek stages a coup to overturn the results of a No Confidence vote. These efforts immediately fail because the Commander of the Military is a telepath who already betrayed him. He then gets exiled to The Arkhive.
Sub-action- The show trial is inexplicably turned into anti-CASSIOPE propaganda in a petty attempt to get back at them for stealing the Union Contract.
Enough said.

News and rumors
Report from an Imperial Cult Sympathethizer in the Combine:
Rumors circulate that the newly formalized Glic Military, in an effort to assauge Snimt'Glek paranoid delusions of imminent attack, has been doping Worker volunteers with progesterone in an effort to increase psi potential and muscle growth. The bards saying this then add "The dosed brothers got pre-cognition, and immediately reported a calm and uneventful future without Snimt'Glek's leadership. At this point, the project was scrapped."
This addition is more likely political commentary than a factual account, as pre-cognition is a power never before observed in Workers or Queens. To reiterate to my alien friends, unlike genders, which are fairly nebulous, the Glix castes are fairly well defined. The two sapient castes, Worker and Queen, each demonstrate psionic abilities, but they always manifest in a specific set of ways. Workers are considered "receptive." Higher order abilities demonstrated by us include clairvoyance, psychometry, and, in extreme individuals, astral projection. Queens are considered "projective," all Queens, almost without documented exception, have the ability of telepathy, and almost all have the power of "mind melding;" the creation of mind gestalts, and the power to possess Worker Glix and read our minds and memories. Extremely powerful Queens can use such powers on-Glix. Truly exceptional individuals such as The Hammer have telekinetic and probalistic abilities. Other abilities, if they ever existed, are not well documented and are presumably mythical in Glix or the result of foreign sorcery misrepresented or combined with Psi.

ARKHIVE: send you my "retired" eader
"This is how it ends. My intentions were only to serve the interests of the Glix people. We are besieged on all sides. Madness and war run rampant. You can feel it. Every Worker can. The worlds have gone wrong..."
"But I can only do so much. If you do not trust my leadership, then we are damned, but my hands are clean..."
"I will accept exile. Sansar was the place our history began. Let it end there, and let me catalogue us to the posterity of aliens..."
