==Plot summary==
On 12 February [[3151]], Galaxy Commander Emmy Line, an officer of the [[Scorpion Empire]], was leading a group of Omega Galaxy's warriors in capturing a group of [[pirates]] raiding the Empire world of Gateway. She faced the last pirate 'Mech standing, a [[Griffin]], with her ''Rhino'' and managed to defeat it ramming it. While the 'Mech was destroyed, the pilot and the warband's [[DropShip]] were successfully captured alive and intact. This was due to the Scorpions deducing they were from the [[Inner Sphere]] and wishing to obtain any information on the realm after the HPG Blackout from interrogation and data analysis of any prisoners and DropShips captured intact.

On 12 February [[3151]], Galaxy Commander Emmy Line, [[Scorpion Empire]] officer, was leading a group which engages a group of [[pirates]] raiding the Empire world of Gateway. She faced the last pirate 'Mech standing, a Griffin, with her Rhino. She managed to defeat it without killing the pilot, which was her intention: his men had captured too the pirate [[DropShip]], because they wanted the information the pirates and their ships may have, as they appear to come from the [[Inner Sphere]].

Three days later, Emmy was overseeing his planet's administration and reading the pirate files. The info was important enough to travel to the capital of the Empire, to report it directly.
 +
She landed on Braunschweig the 13 March, and was received by [[Star Colonel]] Peter Noye. After exchanging nonimportant info, she revealed him some of the stunning news obtained from the pirates: [[Clan Nova Cat]] had been annihilated, and [[Clan Wolf]] was movilizing all his touman to [[Terra]]. And then, when their vehicle was in front of the Clan council Chamber, it blew in a massive explosion and she passed out.  
  
Three days later, Emmy was overseeing the planet's administration, including the preparations for beginning the Star Python's production run. However, upon reading the deciphered pirate files provided by the local branch of the Clan Watch, she immediately started travelling to the capital of Braunschweig as the deciphered intelligence was important and sensitive enough to report it directly to the Khan away from the ears of the Preservers. Upon landing in Braunschweig on the 13 March, and meeting [[Star Colonel]] Peter Noye, she revealed him some of the stunning news obtained from the pirates: [[Clan Nova Cat]] had been annihilated (a development their compatriots in Clan Sea Fox had declined to inform them of for unknown reasons), and [[Clan Wolf]] was mobilizing their entire touman to take [[Terra]] while the Jade Falcons were not far behind. Intending to meet Khan Magon Scott personally, their vehicle traveled to the newly-built Clan Council Chamber, their car was immediately caught up in a massive explosion and she passed out.
+
Emmy awakened in an hospital, the 22 May, and in her room were Peter and the Scorpion's Khan Magon Scott. They informed her than the attack was made by a former [[Hanseatic League]] Merchant. The Khan explained Emmy why he was there: the internal conflict between Empire's two factions, [[Preservers]] and Imperials was raging, and he wanted to create a new post, the [[zarKhan]], which would direct all the Empire civilians, while the Khan focused on the military. And he wanted Emmy to became the first zarKhan. She accepted.
 
+
Emmy began preparing for the imminent Trial of Refusal expec ted by the Preservers. She, keepingt some medics nearby to appear more weak than she really was, began facing Trials of Grievance soon. The 29 May she killed a Preserver warrior in a fight.  
Afterwards, she woke up and was informed by Khan Magon Scott of his intent to form the position of zarKhan to placate the civilians and to rally the Empire with the prospect of the ilClan becoming their enemy. Upon being told that she would be his proposed candidate as the only Hansa Freeborn to become a Galaxy Commander, Emmy reluctantly accepted and began preparing for the imminent Trial of Refusal expected by the Preservers. Khan Scott ensured that no Imperials would challenge Emmy's intent to become their candidate while the Preservers focused on preventing the reforms from occurring altogether. Khan Scott expected it and planned to to the serial Trials of Grievance they started to reduce the Preservers' numbers before the vote. Keeping some medics nearby to imply to observers she was still much weaker from her injuries in the bombing, she began facing multiple Trials of Grievance at the start of 29 May and was forced to kill a Preserver warrior in a Trial upon immediately exiting the hospital, albeit accidentally.
+
The 30 May, the grand Preserver Trial of Refusal against the reform was launched. Scott expected it, and used to reduce the Preserver's numbers before the election. The same day, after emmy was choosen, she and Peter faced two Elementals. She managed to made one fell of the Circle of Equals, but the other fatally wounded Peter, before he killed him.  
 
+
After Emmy was choosed as zarKhan, she informed the gathered warriors of the news about Clan Wolf, and how it may be already the [[IlClan]]. When she rallied them, he found herself applauded by all I(mperials and even most Preservers.
On the 30 May, at an ad hoc Grand Council session on Braunschweig at the planetary sports stadium, the final vote for the reforms was passed. The Preservers, unable to accept the outcome of the vote in favor, enacted a final Trial of Refusal. The same day, after Emmy was chosen, she and Peter faced two Elementals. She managed to make one fall in the Circle of Equals, but the other fatally wounded Peter and was killed in turn. Meanwhile, Khan Scott led his unit against Galaxy Commander Miros Baba's command Trinary in the final part of the Trial and successfully defeated his opponent in the ruins of an abandoned city. After Emmy was chosen as zarKhan in a ceremonial inauguration broadcast across the Empire. In the midst of her speech, she informed the gathered warriors of the news that Clan Wolf had landed on Terra in competition with the Jade Falcons and how it may be already the [[ilClan]]. Declaring her intent on keeping their Clan's way of life unbound to outsiders, she rallied all present to unite in the face of any outside threats before finding herself applauded by all Imperials and even most Preservers present.
