Close to the end of the second year of the Age of Dawn, the Larkinson Clan welcomed two favorable developments.
First, Tusa Billingsley-Larkinson amazingly managed to break through during his initial piloting session with the Dark Zephyr Mark III!
The Larkinson Clan therefore welcomed its very first ace pilot, thereby raising its military power above another threshold and finally gaining parity with the other members of the Golden Skull Alliance.
Second, the stellar success of the very first archemech of the Larkinson Clan had propelled Gloriana Wodin-Larkinson to the rank of Senior Mech Designer, thereby proving herself to be a talented professional who possessed the capital to remain Ves' closest work partner!
News of the double breakthroughs immediately spread through the galactic net within a single hour. The clan had already written public statements in advance, and it just so happened that two of them could finally be released to the public.
