Ruling Father

The Ruling Father of Ursa Major is the name given to the top governmental figure in the Ursa Major star system. It is a title that has been around for around 188,000 years and usually given to the Majorian who most exemplifies the core values of their people. After a Ruling Father dies, a new one is chosen during a 40 day ritual where applicants are put through a grueling set of tasks and challenges. The one who has the score that most resembles that of the original Ruling Father is crowned and immediately fused with the Uplink and his will/moral code is translated to every Majorian that is connected to the Uplink.
