Hi Corrina!
This is a blast from the past thanks to Queeny's
latest Scavenger Hunt:
This quote satisfies the "military" reference. It's in the story somewhere, but I did get it from the Archive version due to the correct part is tricky. I remember loving the story

And to those of you reading this FDK, there's tons of it further up and back in the previous parts

“What happens if Nor were to die before his son is sixteen?”
“The mantle passes to Ching.”
“Why was the mantle held for the current Supreme Ruler?” Lois asked. “Even though he was a child when his father passed away?”
“That was a special case. Because he is the only one of mixed blood, it was decided to wait until he attained adulthood.”
“Do you think Nor has ambitions to lead New Krypton?”
“He has never said so, but his personality is one who craves power, but has not the character to handle it.”
That confirmed Lois’s assessment. “Is Nor pro-unity?”
“On Krypton, his family were lauded as a great military family.”
“They relished the war?”
“Nor’s great, great grandfather was made a Regal Noble on the strength of his battlefield heroics.”
