===Succession===
Succession to the throne of Stellaris is thought to be guided by the god of creation Atreus or in other words, all rulers are chosen by the god of creation. Although legal laws state that in order for one to succeed the throne, they must follow through a ceremony which confirms legitimacy. 
To be eligble to become the next king/queen (Also known as Grand Chancellor) they must meet the following requirements.
* The heir is 25 years or older.
* The heir must be a son/daughter of the current monarch biologically.
* The heir must be apart of the royal house. (House Atreides)
The ceremony begins with 4 basic questions
# What is your vision for the future of Stellaris?
# Through what divine house do you derive from. Speak their name.
# Are you ready to put your life down for Stellaris?
# Will you strive to lead the Stellarian people to glory?
The final requirement is for the heir to prove himself in combat. A holy duel against one of the king(s)/queen(s) or, in rare occasions against the most skilled fighter in the nation. 
Having past all these requirements, the heir will be inaugurated as the new king/queen and will receive gifts given by the people aswell as nobility/royalty from all over.
