Just putting this out there in case devs see this while working on 2nd edition:
As the Primex of Absalom Station, Kumara Melacruz is limited to two terms of office. How long each term of office last has never been specified, but we know that as of Dead Suns 1/Pact Worlds in 317 AG, she was halfway through her first term of office, and that by The Devastation Ark in 320 AG, she is now in her second term.
Once upon a time I crunched numbers to try to figure out when/how often the primex elections take place (also taking into consideration that the first primex, Loqua Tem, was elected in the aftermath of the Gap, prior to the Signal in 3 AG, and was still in office in 7 AG).
The only reasonable number I could land on was that the first prime executive election was held in 0 AG, and that each term of office lasts 5 years. (Thus Loqua Tem was elected in 0 AG and held office until 10 AG.) Any other combination either missed the known dates or resulted in a weirdly long... gap between the anarchy that arose at the end of the Gap and the election that solved that existential threat.
Thus, as of 325 AG, when second edition is released, Kumara Melacruz should be in the process of leaving office and Absalom Station should need a new primex!
Abasalom Station is for the humans! Down with Melacruz!
(Checks forum name.)
Oh, never mind, carry on.
