Rebellion was the war, the new series is the resurrection and the restoration.
At the end of Foundation (Rebellion VI), about a third of Cimenarum had burned, Rien had been crowned Razia, she was pregnant, and the government was starting to come back. But Rien could never be the new boss, same as the old one.
This scene happens a few tendays after the Coronation, in the transition. The scene is from Vaish sune Saren’s perspective — the one-eyed thought sniffing former spy who first appeared in Wisdom’s Fire (Book IV). Vaish and Rien are in her working office.
My Galantier needed a reformation, and I get to give it one. I hope their vision of a better citizen peace-keeping system may inspire others in this world to think what could be possible.
