Samuel Messer VII

Samuel Messer VII or Messer VII was the seventh Imperator of the UEE.

His mother Illyana Messer named him as her successor in 2697. He had an older brother, whose name is unknown. The appearing Vanduul threat in the "West" was largely overlooked by him and his regime.

"The new Imperator took the Vanduul threat even less seriously and seemed to be much more interested in using his newfound power to torment an already subjugated population into further submission."

Editor Note
It is quite likely that Samuel Messer VII and VIII are a writer mix-up, given that both are called Samuel and both are younger brothers. These two roman numerals are commonly confused with one another.
