Joshmaul Overthrown!
New Government Will Replace Reydovan Empire
Commander Vasily Borodin, Admiral Underwood's Aide, Reporting
FIRST CITY, REYDOVAN PRIME (18 March 2501 [14 Vendémiaire 185]): Emperor Joshmaul was
overthrown by the combined political/military forces of High Admiral Joshua Underwood and
the Chancellors Paris earlier this evening because of the emperor's brutal policies.
Joshmaul was sent into exile on the mining planet of Reydovan II, much to the delight of
the miners.
Admiral Underwood will continue to represent the former Empire in meetings with the IAP.
The new Reydovan Directorate, with Underwood, Arianna and Thomas Paris as the joint High
Chancellors, was formed. According to Underwood, this name is temporary and will be
subject to change within the next week.
The 8 systems of the Empire were ordered to surrender and swear an oath of loyalty to the
new Directorate. It is likely that High Chancellor Underwood will begin an expansion
program in the unclaimed space around the former Empire.
