The Generalissimo himself has returned thanks to the recent recovery of a non-descript canister floating in Lonetrek space. Inside, a data module revealed the entire DNA map of the former Chinese Kuomintang leader, presumably constructed from his original remains on Earth. How this canister came to be lost in Lonetrek space will forever be a mystery, but the result of his re-creation is no mystery: Chiang has returned, and once again he will bring warlords to heel and unify a fractured galaxy under KMT rule.
