As a large majority of you may know, my ability to play StarMade was completely destroyed in every manner with the advent of some technical issues on this computer. Nonetheless, I continued to bring this faction to prosperity and growth from behind the curtains, controlling it\'s momentum through the ropes, and thanks to all of the absolutely fantastic members of the Imperium. I am constantly impressed to no end by the loyalty of our members, and I am no more to thank than every single one of you for the constant survival and growth of the Lazarus Imperium as a major faction. Leaders are only as powerful as the members that follow them, and you all have given the Imperium quite some power indeed.
However, the days of me being stuck working the gears in a seat distant from the field are officially over. My technical issues have been completely fixed, and after close to a month, I will again be able to return to the open field that are the servers we build and operate on. I plan to personally see the fruit of ambition that created this Imperium, and I see it as an excellent sign, as the repair of my system occured only days after I reformed the New Lazarus into the more organized, and infinitely more stable Lazarus Imperium that we are.
The Lazarus Imperium is truly entering a new era. As our military strength grows, we will expand. But, as always, we will retrain neutrality. Speak softly, but carry a big stick, as some would say. The Lazarus Imperium has sat fairly idle, and for good reason, focusing on stabilizing it\'s own early formation. And now that Officers and Admirals begin to rise, so will our presence.
I press all of the members of the Imperium to strive for success. I support initiative. Feel free to voice your opinion, either in this thread or in a message to myself, personally. I believe in fostering active, loyal members who partake in every level of a faction over members.
Let\'s the Age of Growth be a fantastic era for this Imperium. One that is remembered for truly establishing the Lazarus Imperium\'s place among the greater powers. But, unlike so many, let\'s do it with structure. We do not charge through the stars with fire, but prefer to reach glory through politics, industry, and tactical military operations. Where we can, we engage in peace and with upmost respect. And even where we cant, we attempt to keep war clean, well planned and short-lived, not wanting to spur uneccessary carnage and truly invoke the force of the Armada. Let us be known for our fantastic presence and reputation, in both politics, and tactics, and our loyalty to the faction.
