The choice has been made, and blood has been spilled. Fedor has gained allies, but it seems that along with them he has also acquired opponents—perhaps even enemies. His impulsive actions and statements have always caused him trouble, and now his declarations have been heard on hundreds of planets. They didn’t come across as the opinion of some unknown person, but as the position of a state. Perhaps the appearance of such a state isn’t something strong galactic players need—though maybe, on the contrary, many people dream of such a state. In any case, Fedor acts, and more and more he understands that he is doing it not because that’s what he wants, but because there is no other choice. Where does fate lead him?
