The Royal Yot

Aware that a hostile empire has designs on several of its members, the Sovereign Planet Alliance (SPA) is keen to add the newly discovered planet of Xinthuva to its ranks and gain access to top-notch Xinthuvan defence technology. Trouble is, the Xinthuvans are staunch royalists. So staunch, that membership negotiations cannot even begin until they've held a magnificent royal get-together for their royal head of state and the royal heads of state of each and every Alliance planet.

Unfortunate...
