For the most part I liked this character and I was "ok" with you becoming Empress. The funny thing is...you got lucky on that one with the gun being jumped. Anyway...you were tough and an ok ally. You were a horrible foe though and I thought that not even having been against you. The no group with anyone other than oaths thing is fine and dandy from an RP perspective, but a great way to watch your Empire dwindle and die. Anyway, good luck with whatever you choose to do next.
