The Unfall of Fred

Dateline: Proximas Daphnar
Tharinian explorers who landed on the world they called Proximas Daphnar have discovered the remains of an empire there. They have read the historical records, and found that the world was once known as Kalulula. It was supposedly the center of an intergalactic empire led by Fred. How the Heck Fred got to where he is now, no one knows but us. And soon you will too! We go now live to our reporter on Galactic.

Dateline: Galactic

This is Snapper Carr reporting. I've just finished an extensive look into the history of how Fred came to be ruler here. I also think that I haven't broken any laws, though that may be disputable. Anyhow, here is a rough timeline of how Fred got here, after he was supposedly murdered by crazed revolutionaries:

1 day after the fall of Kalulula: Fred's body was analyzed by forensic scientists, who determined that it was not Fred after all, but his little known twin brother, Ed.

3 days after the fall of Kalulula: Records are re-assessed. As fate would have it, a small interstellar ship left orbit shortly before the attack at Fred's office. Fred was on this ship, and meant to find another empire to rule.

About 2 years ago: Fred lands on a semi-modern planet that had been thrown into civil disorder by massive anti-cheese riots. In the confusion that follows Fred's arrival, Fred somehow seizes control of the military, takes over the planet, modernizes it, and calls it Galactic. The details of how he did this are sketchy, but it is rumored that more than a few people were kicked into jet engines during the ensuing war. Either way, now Fred is in charge of a peaceful and stable planet. And those are the facts, as far as we can tell. And you've heard it strait from an investigative reporter's mouth. This is Snapper Carr, coming to you from Galactic, signing out.
