And now more Cobra/Trek stuff.

For all his vision and the scientific genius at his disposal and despite his hopes, Cobra Commander was unable to overcome his mortality and as such passed away in 2070 from natural causes. Fortunately he had made provisions and had specially created a number of children in exowombs to serve as perspective heirs. One of them was deemed fit and so, on his passing assumed his place, as well as his image and the name of Cobra Commander to oversee the agenda that her father had given her. Posthumously the her predecessor was given the title The First Commander for sake of clarity in the historic record, which would continue with successive generations. Like her farther she created a batch of potential heirs from her own genetic material. As such, what was originally (depending on your point of view) a military dictator or a warlord eventually evolved into a fairly stable monarchy which had the advantage over previous forms of monarchy in that political marriages and inbreeding would not be a complication. Even so the fact that the official regalia placed certain restrictions (in particular in regards to diet, which outside of private were limited to drinking beverages in zero-g cups).

The Second Commander eventually retired, leaving the office to the Third Commander who died in battle against Klingon Forces in 2143, which lead to the ascension of the Forth Commander. Her reign is generally seen as being important in the history of COBRA and it's emergent interstellar polity, including first contact with earth. While she was not a front-line commander she was more than a capable strategist and planner of campaigns. Captain Johnathan Archer found her charming enough even though there was a predatory authoritative edge to that. The impression of the Vulcan leadership was less flattering, seeing a dangerous militarist who embodied the worst aspects of humanity.
