The Deputy Emperor of the Clone Star Empire and heir of Oojok Terin recently gave a short interview to the Daily Dino.
Daily Dino : Deputy Emperor Terin, soon you will welcome MBH [this interview took place just before the summit], have you met our Emperor before?
Terin : Only briefly at an embassy event a few years ago, before i had a senior role in my father's empire. I am looking forward to meeting Emperor MBH, he is... interesting.
DD : Relations between our two empires are improving, do you see this continuing.
TR : Oh yes, its in our mutual interest. There are some big challenges on the horizon.
DD : Such as?
TR : The break-up of the Utrek. It affects us much more than you i know but i am sure it is also a concern to the Dinos. For us its a big deal, especially as civil war has begun between the various successor states. Then there is the Mantae of course. Will they come to fight us too?
DD : Would you say this is the greatest issue for the CSE now?
TR : Yes, especially us in the East as we are really on the front line.
DD : Also you are on the front line against the Free Eritran States, do you see any more trouble from that quarter?
TR : Not really, war between us and the Eritrans will mean war against us and New Sparta and no one wants that. I know my father certainly doesn't want another Clone War.
DD : Finally, do you ever think about one day succeeding Oojok?
TR : Of course, once i became the designated heir it became possible. But father is in no mood to stand down any time soon. He is in his prime, hundreds of years younger than Ronald of course and Ronald only recently decided to cool it. I don't see myself being Emperor for centuries yet. And who knows what the galaxy will be like by then! Maybe the CSE will span galaxies!
