Ves ended his speech shortly after that. There was no time left, and saying anything else may cause people to pay less attention to his valuable tips.
The founding ceremony continued after Fleet Admiral Amelie Jameson completed the introduction of the legislative branch of the Red Collective.
She proceeded to introduce the 5 nominees for the Office of Executors that had already received majority approval from the Lower and Upper Councils.
The executors were the equivalent of the chief ministers of the Larkinson Clan and led the day-to-day operations of the Red Collective. They possessed a lot of authority and could even assume near-absolute power during emergencies.
Ves did not know any of them in person, and had little interest in befriending them. He knew that each Executor was actually chosen to placate different interest groups.
