We Crown a New Emperor

Saturday, April 2, 2016
After 251 turns the Leo War Championship Match has ended. With commanding precision and a powerful victory, Joesnoffy of the Crystal Confederation becomes our new Emperor! 

On this day, on the 64th year of the Nu calendar, the Imperial Senate of the Echo Cluster, and the honorably retiring Emperor Emork the Lizard King recognize Joesnoffy as the Almighty Commander of the 11 races, 5th in the line of unified leaders, hereafter to be known as the Emperor of the Echo Cluster!

In a brief outgoing address Emperor Emork the Lizard King said:

"After a long and enjoyable time on the throne I'm happy to give the scepter into the worthy hands of my successor JoeSnoffy. I had the pleasure to fight side by side with Joe in the past and he's one of the most skilled and engaged commanders I ever met. All the best for your reign, Joe! You will find that the words of the Emperor have weight in the great community of planets.nu."

All Hail Emperor Joesnoffy!

The Leo war has been perhaps the most clear victory in all of the battles to become Emperor. Joesnoffy took the planet lead on turn 33 and never relinquished it. He was able to enlist several allies throughout most of the game while building an insurmountable army and quantity of ships. It was far too late by the time his allies turned to fight.  

Year 0064 will officially be known as the 1st Year of the Reign of Joesnoffy.

To honor the occasion, The Imperial Senate has once again asked the Emperor to commission a new Ship Hull Design to use as his command ship. Once designed by Emperor Joesnoffy the new Crystal ship will be named by the Senate and become available to be researched for Campaign battles by all future Crystal commanders.
