| Following Henry's death there were many Royals for the Assembly to choose from. Otto Rayneman, grandson of Lothar II's daughter Matilda had made a name for himself as a fighter pilot and Wing Commander throughout the Second Mavorian War. His intention was originally to join the Knights following the Mavorian's defeat, but his candor, class, and credentials made him the clear choice to be the next king. Otto made the best of his reign, and the kingdom prospered during this period of relative tranquility. Otto IV faced several issues during his time on the throne, the largest being that the last of the marvel crystals was pulled from the Royal Crystal Mine on Orion. The vein of crystals which the Knights of Orion psychically tune themselves to in order to transport themselves instantly across the kingdom had finally run out. Orion scientists speculated that since the crystals could only be found on Orion that perhaps the crystals were not natural formations at all as much as they were an artifact left behind by a sentient race that had lived millenniums before. It was during Otto's reign that this paucity of marvel crystals forced the Order of Knights to drastically limit their number and range of operations. The mysterious "space madness" virus was also first contracted during Otto IV's reign. Many xenobiologists worked to contain the virus that travelers through the long, systemless "Phabus Corridor" section of space began to contract. It took nearly two years and the permanent quarantine of the world of Therbim III to finally get the virus under control. To this day, there is no known cure for this disease that drives nearly 65% of its victims into bloodthirsty, homicidal rages. Otto IV also facilitated some notable achievements during his reign. An interplanetary network of communication buoys was built speeding communication between the most civilized worlds from months and years to weeks and days. The Interplanetary News Network (INN) was founded, with young cub reporter Gerardo Mendales (now the network's most senior news anchor) scrounging for stories across the galaxy. Finally, two prosperous trade planets named Denebah III and Denebah IV grew exponentially in a boom of commerce with the newfound peace. The two planets' names were eventually auctioned off to corporate giants, giving us the now familiar "eBay World" and "TobyMart Alpha". Otto IV died a hero, leading a rescue mission into a doomed spacecraft when the Royal Battlecruiser arrived on the scene of a distress call. | Following Henry's death there were many Royals for the Assembly to choose from.

| “Young Henry” is the grandson of Henry I and was chosen quite unexpectedly when the leading candidates were found to be involved in a bribery scandal. He was raised in secret on an isolated planet by an order of Sybokian monks, only to rejoin society a month after Otto’s death. Henry takes a very mystical attitude towards most major affairs, but is very strictly formal and self-controlled in regards to minor affairs. His administration has been effective and popular in the kingdom at large, but he is very difficult to get to know personally. Some of the mysticism of his upbringing makes some of his decrees and decisions seem peculiar and bizarre, but none have caused fear or outrage. His principal trusted advisors are Archbishop Eusebius of the Established Church, (known to some wags as the Space Pope) and the mysterious Sybokian known only as the Brown Monk. The king travels very rarely, staying in the palace on Orion nearly constantly, with one great exception, he disappears entirely for one week every year and is completely unreachable for that time. | “Young Henry” is the grandson of Henry I and was chosen quite unexpectedly when the leading candidates were found to be involved in a bribery scandal.
