The Senate

A dark-skinned man who towered over the smaller species around him stood to attention and thumped his chest with his right fist, "X'Hal, I am Keriier Alon'Taechek (K-air-ree-air Ah-lohn-teh-shehk) of the planet Tamara, home to the Tamarean peoples of our Sapphire republic… A while has passed since our first and last attendance to this gathering and still our pleas have gone unattended; we wage war with dwindling armies, soldiers ebbing upon their last strings of moral and our supply-lines are under constant attack by pirates of your race! When will you act upon the agreement for aid-support during our most dire times, during the white seasons where supplies were dwindling.

Isn’t this so-called Republic famed for it’s extended outreach to systems in need, aren’t your people trying to better your image by portraying the salvation saints? I DO NOT SEE IT!” he finished with a resounding yell that slightly shook the place, along with landing his immense fist on the table in front of him, leaving a knuckle-shaped imprint. After his raucous display, a hushed murmor of debate swept the chamber of mixed simpathies and dissagreements in an even harmony.

(my government is on the planet Bal'demnic)

He slowly made his walk off the ship a large plant in hand. A man ran up to him and retrieved it from him and took off for the large institute from where he came.

Bal'demnic, the home of the galaxys herb trade, the savior of all plants. Bal'demnic, forestation reserch for empty planets.

((I kind of like the idea of drawing scenes for this RPG after just finishing a full picture of Keriier arguing his point with a Twi'Lek representative looking up at the bellowing man in fear, mainly because of his size.
So if you want, I'll draw certain moments in this RPG every-now-and-then to make it really flare the imagination!))

((So here is the first picture, Keriier shouting at the central figure of the gathering, poking the table and waving his fist🙂)

((Ten hours and no one has said a word... eitherway, I was suddenly inspired to 'colorize' the picture of Keriier and here it is, now my Featured Deviation on DeviantART... The Sapphire Hero, Aliies' Father (Not me but the girl my name is based off of - yet to be drawn) ))

**** this thread.

It's lost anyway.

Trust you to say that, the new start is a great idea!

[Aliies, I responded in the Disscusion thread. Da Preacher, no one is asking you to stay, let alone RP. You are free to leave if you so wish.]

((Are you going to respond to Keriier's argument 😛 ? ))

[I don't know why I am mentioning this, but if you happened to have played Halo 2, and know the voice of thr prophet of Truth, that is what my Kaminoan sounds like. Just thought you should know...]

AOR, seeing as no one took the stand after Keriier's speech, moved the platform towards the center and responded calmly yet with authority, "We know of your dilemma, however we are attending to it as we speak. We are very familiar with your seasonal quandry, and we are focusing on this pirate pestilance. We have sent you our reports and anything new that we discover you are the first to know. However, we will ask of you patience. I, personally, am undertaking to fund a side trade route. Both economic and pirate free, the neccessities of your people will arrive. However it is a longer route, but we are confident that all, if not the majority, will arrive to your planet."

[Yes 😏]

"Tsule'Mok! You said the exact same thing in the last gathering... are you aware of the scale, outweighed only by the urgency of our dilema?" the towering alien glared at AOR as he spoke, trying to intimidate his listener, "As we debate with meaningless words, four billion innocent Tamarean children starve for weeks and our refugee system is crumbling... If not attended immediately the stalemate with our great-enemy with be over with us upon the brink!"

If not attended immediately the stalemate with our great-enemy with be over with us upon the brink!"

"And what do you suppose we do?" AOR responded with a hint of frustration, "Halt every economy on the face of this galaxy, stop every living being from what they are doing, and send every single military technology and personnel to find this nuisance of a problem?! I'm sorry to say, but problems are weighed in gold. There are countless planets, colonies, moons, that face FAR worse than you are facing right now. Unless you have discovered or intend on acquiring information on the whereabouts of these renegades, please do not hesitate to reveal this!" AOR was now breathing heavily and met his debater with eyes firm and reserved. "Do not think", he added peacefully, bringing an air of calm back into the atmosphere, "that we are all here sitting around and wasting our time, because we are not. Everything that can help us is helping us. All we are asking is patience." The room slowly began to bustle with the noise of the other senators conversing amongst themselves.

"Are you aware of how many die each day in our sector? do you know that as we speak, hundreds of thousands Tamarean ships engage in brutal combat in a war that has lasted six aeons! You claim that there are far worse matter at hand... To place into perspective for you; our nation is far larger and more numerous than the entire core worlds put together, if we face off an enemy that is numerous as such to keep us at bay then your precious civilization will not last one galactic week against such foes!" his shaking fist had tisted into an accusing finger directed at the tiny Kaminoan, thoughts of how easily he could be snapped into two in one hand momentarily drifted across the fore-ground of his mind, "In a way, we are protecting your Republic..." his tone began to level off into one of patriotic pride, "...If it were not for us, you'd be an entire slave colony at this moment... So once more we ask for immediate assistance in dealing with the vultures that swoop upon us when we are so weak, if done then we will be more than capable of holding back the foes that seek to annihilate us!"

One of the other senators had taken the center and interrupted saying, "Artanis of the Kessel Sector, inhabitant of Kessel. If I may be so bold, but why don't we begin again the cloning factory on Kamino. The soldiers can be the extra man power we need to hunt or perhaps escort the trade ships and keep the routes clean of the pirates."

"If you recall senator, the cloning factory was shut down in an effort to keep peace and remove the detail of possible corruption." The crowd of senators began to explode with cries of out rage, and dissagrement. For a while AOR seemed overwhelmed. He rose his hand and the senate became quite, "seeing as we are a Republic we shall vote. All those in favor of Senator Artanis' suggestion, say I." The hall boomed with the sound of every Senator replying "I". "All those who oppose?" and the Senate was quite, and AOR reluctantly raised his hand and said, "I". The Senate boomed with cheers and applause, and AOR turned to Keriier and said, "If would please come with me, I will recuire your presence on Kamino." Before leaving he said to the Senate, "any other problems?" When there was a moments pause, he cried out, "The Senate is adjourned." And the massive room was filled with bustling noise once more.

Keriier's people were disgusted by the genetic meddlings of cloning, believing that only one of one person should ever exist no mater how altered; he had keep his silence and had neither agreed nor disagreed with the decision to reopen the Kaminoan Vats.
Keriier walked with the thin creature towards wherever they were headed, his head bowed apologetically, "Forgive me for my outburst, I'm sure you understand perfectly our current situation... As a patriot I take every word of our people and they're matters to heart and can get... carried away..."

AOR waved away the apology, "Think nothing of it. I have seen the monstrocities of silence. I would have rather you broken me in two for my negligence, than stand silent out of respect." They entered into a hanger bay, and a Kimonian transport ship along with two escorts was waiting for them. "Perhaps while you are on the Tapico cloning facility, you may grace us with your personal opinion on this new trade route we are implanting on this old galactic map." They entered into the ship and made their way to Kamino.

As the light ship lifted off from the ladingpad, Keriier didn't feel a thing... the ship's inertial dampners were state-of-the-art and offered a perfectly smooth ride, though preferred the kickback and spine-juddering g-forces of takeoff and hyper-acceleration, as did the majority of his race.

"The map as you speak of would be by no-means adequate for the moment..." he began in is calm deep tone in response to the cloner's last scentence, "...As you are no-doubts aware, my system is beyond explored space, we discovered you, to be precice... Though my only wish is that we knew the location of our enemy's home, things would change for the better if we knew so..." his last few words were more to himself than anything, his eyes were locked on the receding sky-line of coruscant as it fell away into the familiar speckled black background. Keriier felt his stomach churn slightly at the feeling of near-motionless hyper-acceleration, he grunted momentarily at the unfamiliar sensation...

As the ship entered hyper-drive, AOR motioned a wave in the air and two seats hovered from out of a opening in the ground, "Please have a seat", AOR instructed. "I know all this technology must be a bit of a," AOR paused to chose his words carefully, "a little bit new to you. But I can assure you, the comfort is most comforting." AOR coughed to suppress the terribly formed pun, and to not insult his enemy with an awkward silence he quickly added, "yes well, I believe we might have found an easier way. What way you ask? We for everything," he waved again but this time with the opposite hand in a downward motion. A table now rose from the ground, and a hologram projected the entire galactic system before them.

"My regards to the countless Kaminoan who researched and 'spied' to give us this highly detailed map." AOR lightly tapped a few buttons near his arm rest and the map zoomed onto the Artanis. Once more it began zooming into an area that had no planets, nor moons, nor colonies. However it stayed over this blank spot on the map. "Tell, what is so significant over a meaningless "black hole" in the map?"

he let a slight chuckle escape from his throat, "Technology outside our regions seems far behind us... It is new for me as the sensation but the technology is seldom used by our people, call us barbaric we ejoy many-a simple thing such as the feel of being thrown into our seats as we open the engines up, or the sharp snap-menuveres of our ships as a 'comforting ride' is something we tend to stray far from..." he took up the offer to sit but found that his immense frame made the chair a touch uncomfortable; his muscular thighs were pressed brusingly-hard against the sides.

"A 'black hole' so said, in the map would indicate a prescence there that has foolishly blocked out an entire system and all geo-magnetic polar orbit-paths..." the laste phrase was clearly something common to his people, meaning that the lack of a star and planetary bodies leaves no orbiting masses in the area, forming a 'black hole' on the map, "...this technique was used many a time by my people, though we managed to perfect the technique and alter galaxy mapping on a grand scale that showed a perfectly-uninhabitable region that supports no life... hence our system..."

He paused suddenly, realizing something, "A black hole... Just how far did you explore? our region is just beyond the outer-rim and we suspect our enemy's home to be almost as far away as Coruscant from Tamara only in the near-opposite direction... Not even our people have explored to that depth, what with constant conflict and all!"

AOR couldn't help but let a smile escape from his face, "you would be surprised to the extent of what we've explored." Just as he said this the map disappeared and lines began to sketch themselves onto the the projection. Soon a wire frame of the Galaxy stood before them, however instead of a black spot on the map there was a small rounded figure. AOR zoomed back into the area. "This", he mentioned, "is our newly discovered wormhole." He finished with an touch of pride. "I was surprised of the little knowledge we had in regards to wormholes in general. However, upon further study, we understood why little was known. But more on that when we arrive to Kamino. What I'd like to draw your attention to is this." The map seemed to have entered the wormhole itself and followed through with numerous twists and turns until, upon exit, it zoomed out and now showed two galaxies.

"This galaxy is ours, and this one is..."
