"Son of the Empire" - Unknown Propaganda Artist, 2266

This iconic portrait, completed in a neo-terran realist style, is symbolic of the ideals of the New Klingon Warrior of the 2260s. He carries the Imperial banner forward, armed with the weapons of the past (the blade) and the future (the rifle.)

In President sh’Rothress' day, the institution that had once boasted as many as thirteen committees had been whittled down to nine.

These were Foreign Affairs, Defense, Commerce, Interplanetary Affairs, Science, Standards, Education, Justice, and Membership.

"It is hard to reconcile the Klingon Empire of Gallant Opera, honour codes and Bloodwine with the cold, sober and arbitrary violence of the Sturkan Regime. And yet, both are borne from the same fruit." - Siobhan Tilly

Skygowan, despite lying at the far edge of explored space in the 2260s, still saw an attempt at both Federation and Klingon political infiltration during this period. Neither party saw much success due to an inability to engage with with the planet's theocratic political culture.

"Rendezvous in the Federation Phalanx" - advertisement by Vickers-Armstrong, 2261.

Admiral Pasalk, 2261. Pasalk would retire as head of the Judicial Office in late 2261, citing health concerns. Leaked correspondence in 2263 revealed that he was asked to resign by the JAG after multiple concerns about pro-Vulcan bias were verified through trial records.

D9 "Pocket Battleships", 2261. Designed in the late 2250s, the D9 was a failed attempt by the Imperial Navy to create a independent raider capable of outgunning Starfleet capital ships. It would later find a role as a supporting vessel in the battle line alongside the B1, B2 and B10 battleships.
