In response as to who the next Emperor will be: Tradition dictates that in the event of an Emperor's death, the oldest surviving heir shall take power. In the event that an heir cannot be found, the High Chancellor of the Elder Council will assume the role of Potentate. This Potentate holds all the power that the office of the Emperor entails, different only by title. So with Titus II dead and no mention of any other heirs, the next de facto Emperor is the High Chancellor, whoever that is. :)
