What's happening?
The Generals of Luria Nova and Solaria have been at it, resulting in quite the little argument in LN between the general and the Imperial Chancellor, now joined by the King. In short, Tarajist is being asked to step down. Which he obviously refuses, in some of the most arrogant letters to have ever been seen in Luria (and that's saying something!).
And then there's those spies for Terran in Solaria who are getting banned and stabbed. One just joined Luria Nova with his region, immediately publishing an incriminatory letter of Malus in which he says how he wants seize control of the Lurian Empire.
