Ep. 29: Rubinsky plots Alliance collapse with Trüniht while targeting Yang and Reinhard

29

In Phezzan, Rubinsky outlines his strategy to a bishop of the Earth Cult, intending to dismantle the Free Planets Alliance from within using his connections with chairman Trüniht. This internal destabilization aims to secure an Imperial victory and facilitate the assassination of Reinhard. Kesselring visits the Alliance commissioner in Phezzan, suggesting that financial aid depends on democratic stability and implying Yang seeks power. Meanwhile, Alex Cazellnu at Iserlohn worries about Yang’s safety, fearing Trüniht may eventually eliminate him despite his current utility. In Heinessen, Trüniht, resentful of Yang’s popularity, instructs Secretary of Defence Negreponte to establish an inquiry committee regarding Yang’s conduct during the coup.
