A Throne of Stars, MK I

You are heir presumptive of the Solarian Empire, an empire spanning thirteen solar systems, with additonal outlying mining colonies and trade posts. Your biggest hurdles to the throne are threefold, securing your position politically, proving to be a deterrent against foreign interference, and surviving your siblings machinations. This will be a scenario of forming alliances both internal and external to the empire as well as fighting enemies with both political power and military action. Will you negotiate your way through the hurdles? Or will you act as a bulldozer crashing your way to the throne? Fight for the throne your own way, just try to survive long enough to sit upon it.
