Wow, now that is loaded with multiple implications

Honestly if this was how our government was run we would at least have the various heads of government switch more often if nothing else
"Yes, and that's how it is supposed to be," Simon said as the gate in front of him opened. "They were corrupt, and now, they will be the victims of corruption."

Would Caramond be a good way to root out Cosmopolitans?

"I'm not a fan of undead, but I'd hit that." Kelia pointed at a handsome orc shaman who in his unfallen state was a dark-skinned elf and at a bare-chested Balor whose body was a symphony of muscles.

It’s in their possession and I believe it was being used as their primary AI in the old galaxy
This gave Ves the impression that the flame entity had remained dormant since its creation. It had never really woken up and done anything that could have shaped its life.

Then she better keep up and advance soon or more preferably, be sidelined. I for one would prefer Ves to divorce Gloriana still and get with someone better.
She had good reason to worry about this problem. Her chief concern was that she was still a Journeyman Mech Designer.

What an incredible read. Thank you
Why not shape it so a blood pact can only be formed one at a time? You can connect with the original, and then if that mech is lost you can connect to a mech of that lineage but only one, from there it’s another permanent bond unless that mech is lost too and so on?
"I really don't know the answer to that question. My preliminary guess is that there will certainly be consequences to doing so. I think that the original Blood Pact will still provide the greatest benefit to the mech pilot. The greater the sacrifice, the greater the rewards. Changing the ritualistic contract so that the mech pilots form a permanent bond with a larger institution is less costly but also less personal. The sense of ritual is weaker, and before you ask, that is really important. Don't ask me why I know this. All I can say is that I believe that forming Blood Pact with mech dynasties will likely shape up to become a more expedient but less rewarding option."
