Emork the Lizard King Reclaims the Throne as Emperor!

Sunday, February 26, 2017
After 160 turns the Aquarius War Championship Match has ended. Through clever diplomacy and dogged determination, Emork the Lizard King of the Crystal Confederation has once again claimed the title of Emperor of the Echo Cluster. 

On this day, on the 74th year of the Nu calendar, the Imperial Senate of the Echo Cluster, and the honorably retiring Emperor Darth Balls recognize Emork the Lizard King as the Almighty Commander of the 11 races, 7th in the line of unified leaders, hereafter to be known as the Emperor of the Echo Cluster!


All Hail Emperor Emork!

The Aquarius War once gain showcased the diplomatic, economic, and tactical skills needed to be Emperor. By turn 35, Emork had taken the lead in planets, and he never gave it up. Using his silver tongue to gather the support he needed from other players, opponents were worn down one by one, each overrun by a sea of web mines.

Year 0074 will officially be known as the 1st Year of the 2nd Reign of Emork.

There are rumors that the two time Emperor has already begun work on some sort of strange device in a secret research lab he setup during his previous reign. Only time will tell whether this work bears fruit and the Emperor unleashes a terrible power upon the Echo Cluster.
