[Hierarchy] Unlikely Primarch on Solregit

Unlikely Primarch on Solregit

In a shocking announcement, the Colonial Office has confirmed the current Primarch of Solregit’s identity today: Former Sundowner Chieftain Louki Fidele.

According to reports from Solregit QEC, leadership on the troubled colony of Solregit has gone through a number of successions since communications were severed last year. Reaper attacks and indoctrination plagued the Primarchy as it passed through Primarch Eadlich Antarres, Vice Primarch Barro Lorien, General Nur Xathos and former Mayor Selene Khairus. Khairus, having assumed office following the Indoctrinated Xathos’ death, reportedly stated that she “could no longer trust the loyalty or stability of [her] surviving staff” and exercised powers under the War Measures Act to choose a successor outside standard lineage.

The Primarchy transferred to Fidele following Khairus’ death three months into the Reaper War. Since the succession, he has selected two Vice-Primarchs: one from the South, Vice-Primarch Praeta, who originally would have succeeded Khairus, and one from the North, Vice-Primarch Machae. Machae now succeeds Fidele as High Chieftain.

Fidele has long been known to Hierarchy intelligence as a pivotal figure in the Sundowner insurgency in North Solregit. He lost a leg in combat with Hierarchy troops, but continued to take part in assaults as a vehicle operator before assuming a command position. In recent years, following the atrocity on Taetrus, Fidele became one of the more vocal supporters of the Sundowners’ peace treaty with the Hierarchy. Nevertheless, the appointment of such a man to the office of Primarch of Solregit is an unprecedented act.

Fidele’s current tenure in office has already had a measurable impact; loss of life and damage to infrastructure, while substantial, is still below average for turian colonies, which Fidele’s supporters claim is largely due to his “lifetime of experience in fighting a technologically and numerically superior foe.” Whether he is as successful in peacetime as he is in war remains to be seen, though Hierarchy officials have been assured that sanctions will not be imposed against South Solregit Loyalists.

hahahahahahahaha

I didn't see that coming at all. Man, this is so absurd.

Heh, good on them I suppose.

Man, first the cure, now an ex-sepper is declared a Primarch. How the times are a changing.

Not everyone will accept it. I'm anticipating carnage.

I wouldn't call shooting a guy with one leg 'carnage.'

More like 'rocking chair one arm aiming amusement night.'

Place needs more batarians, obviously.

That, I can agree with.

I can't tell if this is a "so crazy it might just work" idea, or just plain crazy. Granted, there's a very thin line between the two. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if it works out.

So long as he has enough sense to play nice. Even if he was able to unify all of Solregit against the Hierarchy, its a farming colony. They'd be shot out of the sky if he ever tries to move a power base beyond the planet.

And honestly I'm sorry to say if it starts looking like a unified Solregit is going to be hostile to the Hierarchy there would be less need for care in military operations. From what I've gathered the reason we never just did orbital bombardment to begin with was the fact that the South is loyal.

It's like I can year the voices of millions of turians crying out in unison...as they place bets on how soon it'll be before the civil war.

My money's on half a year, maybe sooner, based on how soon that relay reopens.

Some of the Sundowners I've met have been cool people. But they've all been criminally uneducated. Some of have been, like, the punchline of a joke bad.

14 year old daddy of two kids doesn't know where the Primacy is bad.

So a Sundowner's in charge now? Fine. Be in charge. Raise the Sundowners to a respectable level.

(And you know what, the bragging has to stop. Sure, you took proportionately fewer casualties and fought well. But the war was won by the hyperstates with fleets and the scientific know-how to contribute to the crucible. I do not endlessly harp on the drell per-capita participation rate.)

Woohoo, we're da boss now... well sorta!

Hey, I was 13!

guess who's gotten a omnitool now.

but that's not important, been reading 'bout ya drell and I got to say, ya have no right to look down at us.

and yeah we have kid young and people don't know much 'bout the universe at large but ya know what else we don't do?

we never did them sacrificing stuff, no animals and certainly not eachother

and us Sundowners been around for much longer than ya lot and haven't screwed up a planet yet

so ya can stuff ya attitude up yer [censored], if ya have one

And wow, my point is made. What a great civilization you're going to build, having babies at 13. You don't want people to call you hicks, stop acting like hicks.

Historic drell sacrifice practices < Sundowner suicide bombers and boneheaded battles over "Holy Land". At least the drell got past the Bronze Age by ourselves, rather than regressing to the Bronze Age after being given a class A planet. I look at you and I see every trap the drell cannot afford to fall into.

hey 11 billion drell managed to off themselves which is bigger than whatever our death toll is.

ya know about that 'regress to bronze age' is just [censored] false, and ya know it is because if like we were bronze age the reapers wouldn't have come for us... ya thought I hadn't read about them didn't ya?

we were advanced enough for them to pay attention and not just bomb us from orbit so there!

ta know what they didn't attack, ya homeworld because ya [censored] it up so much they didn't need to visit it

You are clearly Bronze Age, Babdaddy. If you were modern, you would have gotten your first omni-tool in elementary school. If you were modern, you'd be able to buy your children omni-tools. Fuck, if you were modern your children would get their vaccinations. You're a hick who can't provide and if you want me to change my tune, prove me wrong. Seriously, bring it, and I will sing your praises. I will use you culture as a model in my activism.

We might have crashed our planet but it was a marginal world that wouldn't have been colonized without terraforming first, and given the choice between life and our pride, we choose life. You manage to be a dirt poor on a breadbox world.

whoa, what crab crawled up your [censored]?

[idiom overload – suggested replacement: check-mate] there! because I can do exactly that, see ya problem is that with all ya perfect memory ya’re failing with the thinking. like when we met ya were all a sandwich costs 7 credits and he gots only 4, what a deadbeat. right?

‘course I’m right ya be always thinking bad things ‘bout us Sundowners.

but ya didn’t think for a sec and ask yarself, ‘wait a sec, didn’t he get paid for his work?’ and ya be right, I got paid a lot, but that money ain’t mine, it was always for the kids so I’m not spending it on my pleasure. I ain’t got 10 credits but they got over 2,000 of them. and I ain’t

enough for them to buy fancy omni-tools and other stuff, I might not have a fancy education but I would’ve made sure they go one. ya say I don’t provide for them, well ya’re wrong. bet ya think those kids where accidents right? well news flash girly, they weren’t on the Bronze Coast the women folk chew on these berries and that make sure they don’t get kids until they wanne have them. so they can plan when little ones come. my kids mom and I choose to have kids when things were ready to support them.

wanne know another thing? all that stuff I’m doing is extra stuff I choose to do, the girl just wanted my kids not me.

so don’t go around saying I ain’t prepared to support my kids or I’ll knock ya [censored] teeth in.

Easy now. At any rate, half the reason the sundowners are so uneducated is the conflict between them and the Hierarchy. With one in charge on Solgerit, that may change. Only time will tell.

Thing is, the Hierarchy can't really afford to bombard them at the moment, before the war, maybe, but now? They need fertile farmland for food exportation.

I think you still owe me money!


Oh gods, that's even worse. ]Arashu is sharpening her blades. Sundowner culture, ladies and gents. So proud and noble.

How are you going to run a planet when your education system can't even qualify you to run till at Skewers and Sauce? The thing I like about the hierarchy system is how equitable it is. Everyone gets to a good age before the sort, and advanced training is available. I wish the drell had something so good.


Like I said, you wanna prove me wrong, prove me wrong. Otherwise, I'm at the gym three days a week, 6:45. They teach you fight like they taught you to read?

I'll be there

Well, fuck.

Now this ain't a problem yet. You better believe Hierarchy'll be watching this motherfucker like a volus watches his share prices, you get me? But coming outta the biggest war of all fuckin' time, the slightest hint this sepper asshole's looking to start up Unification War 2: Unification Harder and the Hierarchy'll pounce. Not saying that's a good thing, you know? Speaking off record I couldn't give the teeniest shit what some hick farmer world wants. But I know the Hierarchy won't stand for any kinda rebellion, and that worries me a little, you feel? Hierarchy's record maybe ain't the best when it comes to overreacting.

We'd have to be dumb as fuckin' vorcha to start fightin' among ourselves again, right? But it'll happen if this shithead doesn't keep the party line like a fuckin' spirit. And I'll be strung up before I open fire on another turian. Well, unless he's a total fuckin' jackhole, you get me?

This is either going to be the best thing that has happened to the Hierarchy in long while or shit's going down hard.

Oh you have no idea. See you on Solregit, brother.

The opponent being your species has nothing to do with anything. Speaking from experience with a variety of groups the Sundowners are the nicest ones I know largely because they were the only ones that wanted to be left alone, not start a revolution. I think that's the reason the Hierarchy hasn't carpet bombed them already. You bet if it was a Facinus Primarch that planet would be dust by now.
