While my mc has no control over the Empire and does not aspire to it (unless forced to) my mc will endeavour to limit the Hegemony’s lasting cultural and legal impact as much as he can, starting with the legal successor state claims.
Meh, just smash them to pieces and leave it at that. My mc would rather see statues depicting flora and fauna, rather than people, least of all himself. Although I guess certain exceptions could be made for works celebrating the natural human form, particularly if Simon would agree to model.
