Have Tevarin citizen numbers increased since the Better Together initiative that promotes Tevarin becoming citizens and voting?
TL;DRThey haven't explored whether Tevarin citizen numbers have risen, but Adam Wieser thinks the trend is toward more Tevarin presence in the UEE and sees it as a good topic for a future dispatch.
We haven't explored the exact details of that yet about whether the numbers have gone up. I think it would be a good place to go on to do another dispatch in the future that explores that. I do think that that's the direction that things are going for the Tevarin in relation to the UEE. I think with Suj Kozy being elected a senator and with just the resurgence of the Tevarin within the wider UEE culture, that's definitely how it's going. And I also wouldn't be surprised, with the war with the Vanduul occurring and a lot of that happening in or near systems like Elysium, where the Tevarin are originally from, that they have now been a part of the UEE long enough that they would be motivated to come to the defense, sign up, go into the Army and the Navy, and that is one of the ways you become a citizen. Yeah, I think seeing an increase of Tevarin presence and engagement in the Empire is definitely happening out there. And it's honestly something really cool I'm looking forward to exploring as we expand out the game. Because there's also another system which isn't technically in UEE space. It's called Branaugh. And that's where the largest population of Tevarin are. So even outside of the population in the UEE, there are some Tevarin who have gone to this other system and are starting their own culture there too. So they might not be citizens, but the cultural influence of what they're doing there, you might see start seeping into the UEE in other ways too. So yeah, there's a lot of fun to be had there and we're kind of laying these strings and we can't wait to start tying some of them together for the world.
