In-Character " The pillars upon which NIO and the current GE are formed: Respect. Trust. Empowerment. Delegation. Respect for both superiors as well as inferiors (including aliens) Trust in the chain of command, both upwards as well as from the Throne down. Empowerment of the branches, who in turn empower the fleets/brigades/sectors/production hubs, who in turn empower their pilots/soldiers/builders/producers. Delegation of duties to competent leaders, without excessive oversight or micro-management. Leaders are there to provide the broad outlines, and leave it to the competencies of their staff to perform their duties. " — Emperor Ndengin
