With no serious competition Baron Borca has been crowned the new Bolitic Emperor following a meeting of the most powerful Barons. Lord Melson was one who did oppose Borca but his house was much weaker than Borca's and unable to gain support from smaller houses he stood down and gave homage to Borca. Lord Agerna also could not build a strong enough opposing force.
Emperor Borca said he would punish the Dinos for killing Aliowaki, although no one knows for sure who killed him while he was hunting on a remote planet (the Dinos always get the blame anyway). Borca promised blood, treasure and glory to the Bolitic Confederacy.
