The Central Committee will meet in a few days, its first duty will be to elect the NS President. There is only one candidate of course though Sea Urchin will still require a majority of the electors.
Barring any catastrophe over the next few days Sea Urchin's election as President is pretty much a foregone conclusion and it is thought (though not confirmed) that preparations have already been made in some quarters for the transfer of power (though this will not happen officially until the end of the year).
At a media briefing Sea Urchin said the priority for the NS fleet would be to enhance what it already had. Its thought Sea Urchin will not order that many new ships (apart from the light patrol fleet replacement) but will be putting zarks into upgrades and improvements of what already is in service.
