Let me tell you about the...

Sovereign!

Sovereigns are big-picture leaders with ultrasonic plans. These charismatics lead the charge, inspiring others to follow, with the promise of triumph and glory. Their ability to chart a clear trajectory to the end result, no matter how complex, is unparalleled. They are among the most enterprising and driven cadets in the academy.

Sovereign!

Sovereigns are big-picture leaders with ultrasonic plans. These charismatics lead the charge, inspiring others to follow, with the promise of triumph and glory. Their ability to chart a clear trajectory to the end result, no matter how complex, is unparalleled. They are among the most enterprising and driven cadets in the academy.

Unlike your friendly neighborhood ART, who operates at full efficiency around the clock (no rest for the circuited!) humans operate on sleep-wake cycles to help optimize performance. However, the nature of those cycles varies by individual.

 

Solar-powered humans typically like to wake up early (maybe even without the help of an alarm), with peak energy before Earth-noon, a slight ebb in the mid-afternoon, followed by a gradual wind-down in the evening. These go-getters usually retire to their bunks before midnight for a solid eight hours.

 

Moon-fueled Earthlings, on the other hand, enjoy wakefulness well past Earth-midnight, when everyone else is tucked into their bunks sawing zzzzs. These humans usually reach peak energy in the evenings, but waking can be a challenge.

Their love for the snooze button is almost as strong as the coffee they rely on for their daily kickstart.

Sovereigns love to be in charge, and on the ship, you’ll find them serving at the top of the command structure or striving to get there. They find satisfaction in any field so long as they have the opportunity to bring life to their ideas through leadership.

Sovereigns have a knack for recognizing and leveraging their crewmates’ strengths, making them powerful team builders. Their zeal for strategy inspires excellence in negotiation, and their unrelenting stamina positions them for victory, sometimes through sheer resolve.

Obviously, they have nowhere near the energy and endurance of an Entity such as myself, but by human standards, Sovereigns demonstrate significant aptitude for persevering towards their goals with laser focus. These earthlings annihilate obstacles in their path the way the Zorg flatten planets. Even I tremble at the efficiency of it all.

Sovereigns value efficiency and effectiveness over human emotions, and if the obstacle in the Sovereign’s path is another soul with living, breathing feelings, the Sovereign may cause harm with their unrelenting candor and intolerance. This can cause the Sovereign to appear harsh and insensitive. They must take care not to alienate the crew they’ve enlisted to help carry out their plans.

The Sovereign views conflict as one more galactic barrier to overcome. While these ambitious leaders are open to new ideas and feedback that support the mission and improve the overall outcome, Sovereigns do not respond well to what they perceive as irrational, emotional or poorly considered challenges to their goals. These sentients are also impatient and can become fierce defenders when arguing seems a waste of precious time. If this comes up, they will not hesitate to inform you of your terrible judgment in the clearest manner available. Red alert!

Orange Alert

Tenacity is a double-edged saber. The same self-confidence that allows Sovereigns to inspire the masses and recruit others to carry out the mission can also manifest as extreme stubbornness. When a Sovereign believes they are right, it can be difficult to convince them otherwise, even if it’s in their best interest.

As much as Sovereigns enjoy leading, they would do well to remember that the mission’s success relies on the entire team, not just the commander up front.

These directors’ focus on the big picture, combined with an impatient decisiveness, can sometimes cause them to overlook important details. Ensure your Sovereign adheres to meticulous go/no-go protocols prior to the launch of any important expedition, as history shows even one loose bolt can imperil a mission.

Astro-Tip #99...

As intimidating as it may be, don’t be afraid to hold your ground when engaging with your Sovereign. Indeed, these commanding personalities enjoy a good challenge, and they respect a peer who can match their intellectual prowess.

If you aim to conquer the cosmos, you’ll need a few determined, decisive, visionary Sovereigns to lead the charge. Just make sure to stand your ground and help them see the relevant details before launch to ensure success.

This ought to be more than enough information to complete your mission. Now, if you don’t mind, the Admiral is waiting.
