Emperor of TGE - War of Unification (1503)
On 18 August 1503, after the resignation of Emperor of TGE Emaod Zingro and a succession crisis where Otanyu was strongly encouraged for the nomination and attracted much support, despite his reluctance, Otanyu accepted the position as his new duty, and intends to lead the empire to prosperity again. His first role was helping ease tensions (with mastery of diplomacy) within the short-lived War of Unificiation between TGE and the BRP, which were severed by his predecessor. This was highly regarded and cleared up within a year, as negotiations were reached. However the 'war' continued on as a struggle, to reunite and unify much of the universe. On 10 September, he made an announcement on Planet Regul (where he now resided) that the post-revolution era is coming to a close, and that the ushering in of a new era in universal history is to begin.

Otanyu has expressed a will to bring the weakened empire back to how it was during KJ's glorious reign, and ensures that they will regain 20 billion galaxies, truly demonstrating their status as the greatest universal superpower. This has attracted great acclaim from its people and he has very high approval ratings.
