I am going to need help, co writers and the like...

1. Dark Christmas- It's December 3067, and the League Parliament is debating the repeal of Resolution 288 and the return of the Captain Generalcy to an elected position. Alys Rousset-Marik is giving an impassioned speech on the floor of Parliament stating that there is no longer any credible threat to the League and the time for a hereditary Captain Generalcy is over. But just as the debate reaches its divisive height...a page comes rushing in with news. A Blakist task force its on it's way to Atreus. They're here to make sure Thomas REMAINS Captain-General. This news leads to threats, counter-threats and accusations Thomas is using the Blakists to launch a coup. Before the year is out, civil war breaks out throughout the League....

Meanwhile, shadowy arms dealers have helped the AFFS rearm, especially George Hasek and his forces in the Capellan March. In two years time, he will be ready to take back what the Capellans stole. Just one problem, the Capellans plan on beating him to the punch, or at least some Capellans do....

In the Combine, other men have whispered into the ears of men throughout the Combine as to the dangers Theodore and his pet clan have posed to the heart of the Dragon. Unrest becomes more common, soon, incidents happen the Friendly Persuaders cannot control and the ISF cannot suppress. The Combine soon realizes she has a terror problem on her hands.

In the Lyran Alliance...the Whitting Conference goes off without a hitch, the Star League disbands, and the delegates return home, all the while not really suspecting what greets them there....

2. Absence of a Daggerstar- In 3048, the Wardens somehow head off the invasion vote, stating that even if the invasion were successful, the risk of cultural contamination would be too great, and it would eventually destroy Clan society. Better to let the Sphereoids destroy themselves and them come in and pick up the pieces. This sways enough Crusaders that such a motion carries.

In the Inner Sphere, Romano Liao and her lover Tsen Shang die in a retaliatory strike by the Kell Hounds while touring several border worlds, and Sun Tsu takes his place on the throne. He immediately extends feelers to the Taurian Concordat and is successful in gaining their alliance, playing on their paranoia with regards to House Davion and the Federated Commonwealth as a whole. Theodore Kurita dies in a freak accident with badly prepared fugu, and Takashi takes back active control of the Combine, extending feelers to Sun Tsu to reestablish the Concord. In the League, a short palace coup deposes Thomas Marik in favor of Duncan's son Carlos. He immediately responds to Takashi's offers..and Comstar is there, waiting to arrange a meeting for them on Terra. Perhaps Waterly will get her wish this time?
