Cool whatever. I win.
That was abrupt. Guess I'll continue building the nation of one then.
Lucintsea eventually pries a hole in reality and goes back home to go pick up her chained to conquer the world.
She does not become the third unifier, nor does she manage to break back through to earth. Her chaining technique had the slight flaw where brain damage could rapidly propagate through the chains if not addressed by repeatedly killing any one of the chainers suspected of having sustained brain damage to recopy over the damage. She had failed to notice that until it was far too late.
Her direct above her and herself got caught in a loop, and the damage propagated throughout her army. Eventually, effectively unkillable, unaging, and barely capable of stringing thoughts together anymore, she and her army disappeared into a vast cave system and were never officially seen again. Her unfamiliarized siege engineers and medics laughed as they pocketed her riches as the situation returned to only-slightly-different-than-before over a few years. The White Chevron was torn down and the old flags flew once more, as they always did in the end.
She goes down in history as "just another imitator", though she does get noted as accidently paving the way for a massive social reformation in the century after her disappearance. One that she would likely have opposed, but nonetheless certainly one she accidently led to. Her disappearance, several centuries down the line, repeatedly gets treated as some big unsolved mystery on all the TV shows of her home world, but is actually pretty obvious if anything about her and her processes is looked up.
