President Zarb

President Zarb leads the Lurman political regime, his authority challenged by Kalik’s conspiratorial plot to engineer a Drashig disaster as a pretext for undermining liberal policies. While directly absent from scenes, Zarb’s presence looms as the target of Kalik’s bureaucratic insurrection—a leader whose fate hinges on whether Kalik can control the calamity he unleashes. His governance aligns with progressive reforms that attract both fervent opposition and cautious allies like Orum, who fears both alien retaliation and regime collapse.
