Samuel Ashen Resigns, Kutol To Take Over Helm Year 18 Day 105
A press released from the public relations department of the Confederacy of Independent Systems yesterday confirms the rumors that Head of State Samuel Ashen has indeed stepped down from his office and appointed former Head of State Siejo Kutol to lead in his stead.
When asked for specifics for the reason for stepping down from office, Mr. Ashen’s publicists was only able to speculate that it had something to do with his frustration with the recent datacard hacks and the limitations this placed on the Confederacy.
To some parts of the Confederacy, the announcement was well received. Mr. Kutol was once very well know and well thought of throughout Confederate space and amongst allies.
Once a very public figure, Mr. Kutol has been out if the public eye for some time. There were mixed reports of his death 4 years ago during an explosion on Gamma Station in the Cularin System during a minor conflict. While the reports of his death was never confirmed, many of his assets and stocks were distributed amongst his coworkers and colleagues.
Additionally, there was no traceable activity amongst Mr. Kutol’s remaining accounts nor any contact with his family. Mr. Kutol reappeared about a week ago, claiming to have escaped a kidnapping by a rouge agent. His health is very poor and he was gravely injured. Not soon after his arrival in Cularin, Mr. Kutol fell unconscious, seeming to succumb to his wounds. After days of surgeries at one of the Medical Universities on Genarius, Siejo Kutol regained consciousness. It took expert cooperation between surgeon Pat Kil’astra. and Athakam MedTech to get help nurse the once proud Nautolan back to health.
Regardless of where he has been, many sentients have voiced their pleasure at the announcement of Mr. Kutol being back at them helm.
That said, there have been some rumors just that Mr. Kutol is not happy with the current status of the Confederacy and major changes could be on the horizon.
