Majestic Teal was rife with plots.
This was what everyone said about the star sector. Open warfare rarely broke out in this region, but that did not mean that everyone had lost their ambitions.
In fact, the people who lived in the second-rate states of Majestic Teal felt both content and restricted.
They were content because they lived in stable and well-run societies.
They were frustrated because the lack of chaos restricted their upward mobility. With all of the centenarians and older folk clinging onto their positions of power for centuries at a time, the younger generation could only climb so much before they hit an impassable wall!
The Supreme Sage was the most egregious case. Born before the advent of the Age of Mechs, he lived through multiple eras in the Life Research Association's history and remained unquestionably on top for an immense amount of time!
