Name: Tarsus Valorum
Age: 29 (25 BBY)
Species: Human

Planet of origin: Coruscant
Rank and title: Senator for Coruscant and concurrently Member of Parliament for Coruscant

Short biography: Tarsus was a child at the time of the Republics fall. As the grandson of the former Supreme Chancellor you might think everything changed in a few short moments. It didn’t. Life went on. Children don’t understand politics. When his grandfather finally passed he lost yet another connection to an era he barely experienced. It wasn’t like the Valorums were strapped for wealth or possessions either, the shipping business collapsed, true, but a political dynasty doesn’t fall with the coming and going of a measly Empire. His father was even a member of the Imperial Senate for a brief few years. This was his first introduction to the world of politics beyond the walls of his elaborate palace. Yet politics could not be ignored when his father stood with Senator Mon Mothma before subsequently being silenced by a red bladed fanatic.

Splendid isolation was not the destiny of a Valorum. Valorums lead.

Spurned by the death of his father, he found himself at the head of a political dynasty with galactic reach. He would use it.

Support for Senators with Rebel sympathies, support for planetary Governors turning against autocracy. Outright monetary support for the Rebel Alliance in some cases. Many a Mon Cala ship was funded through the fortunes of House Valorum.

When the declaration of Rebellion came, he almost joined in an instant. Fired up by the disgrace Palpatine had brought to the galaxy. Alas, however, he was convinced that would be a foolish move by the very Senator his father supported. His influence and money would be far more useful in the halls of Imperial power than in the fledgling Rebellion.

This became moot when the Imperial Senate was disbanded.

There was no hall of power to enter. Only sycophancy and tyranny.

He did what he could in the capital, however. As resources were taken to build the Death Star and as refugees flooded in their millions. The name Valorum came to the lips of citizens once more. Nostalgia became gratitude for food supplies. A longing for what once was became a longing for a better future. When refugees found homes, when black markets found goods, Tarsus was there. His families sigil outright emblazoned upon smuggled crates of basic goods. With Imperial focus distant he managed to get away with it.

Then Yavin happened and everything changed. Chaos.

Coming out of the shadows of Coruscant, Tarsus immediately came to the aid of the Republic. Helping to convince the planetary government to submit peacefully to Gael Ackbar as to avoid unnecessary death. Which only served to furth endear him to the people.

When the opportunity arrived, he took the plunge without hesitation, becoming the first Senator to represent the planet in the New Republic. He barely received opposition and the victory was a landslide.

Seeing the devastation of the Empire, knowing what caused it and wishing to never see it return, Tarus joined the growing Parliamentarian faction. A popular move among the trillion strong population of Coruscant. Though, perhaps spitting in the face of the faction with his grandfather's namesake.


Political information
Political views: The Empire fell. But so did the Old Republic. Those that advocate a return to either are missing the fundamental point of “history always repeats itself.” The Galaxy needs a central government to function in harmony, but a strong centralised position gives rise to dictators. To make a system of this scale work requires a complete overhaul. Tarsus stands a strong voice in the Senate for the Parliamentarians. Advocating the Senate's disbandment and the complete rehaul of everything associated with it. His legacy will be change.

Political faction and subfaction: New Republican - Parliamentarian
Organisational allegiance: Both Coruscant and the new Parliament, advocating for his own stations disbandment to make way for a better system.
Position within galactic government: The Senator for the Old Republic's capital, Coruscant. Has great support from the planet due to his name and the nostalgia associated with the days of Chancellor Valorum as well as his actions during the civil war.
Political goal: To stabilize the Galaxy in the face of utter chaos and prevent the complete destruction of Galactic Government.
Favourable factions: Holds some sympathy for the Decentralists.
Unfavourable factions: Valroumists, who he views as blind to the true problems of the Republic, Imperials and Separatists.
Key issue: The Banks. They need to be reigned in, controlled and above all never allowed political representation again or the chance to bring down the New Republic as they helped bring down the old.

Personal information

Name: Tywin Montwinn

Age: Thirty-Eight

Species: Corellian Humanoid

Appearance:

Planet of origin: Etti IV

Rank and title: Imperial Liaison (Former) - Chief Strategy Lobbyist for Galactic Corporate Policy League (Current) - ExO of the Direx Board (Current)

Short biography:

Tywin was born into an upper-class family of corporate bureaucrats in the year 34 BBY. Both his father and mother worked for corporate interests; his father worked for the Galactic Corporate Policy League as a lobbyist to the Republic while his mother worked as the CFO for Lerrimore Contracting Company. He was an only child; his parents often gifted him luxurious gifts in exchange for being absent parents during his youth. Throughout primary school, Tywin as well-liked among his peers and was seen as a natural leader but ultimately was also a school bully. Tywin would often conceive various ideas on how to extort the weaker children; preying among those who couldn't defend themselves.

Towards the end of the Clone Wars, his father sent Tywin to the prestigious Bayonard Institute of Higher Education on planet Cularin. Tywin excelled in various aspects of his study and those he was weak in, he'd make sure to coerce or bribe his way through. As Tywin graduated from the Institute, Sheev Palpatine declared the Empire. The Montwinn family had close ties with Chancellor Sheev Palpatine as Tywin's father had lobbied the senate for years, with the strong relationship, Tywin's father became essential in the formation of the Corporate Sector Authority. Tywin returned to his father's side and joined the public relations branch of the Corporate Sector Authority.

His father, now serving as the Imperial Liaison, served the Corporate Sector Authority diligently. As he quickly moved up the ranks; he earned the respect Executive Direx Board. He became an expert in manipulation and spin; often covering up the genocidal extermination of native species upon colonized planets. As many eyed Tywin as an up-and-comer and soon was betrothed to Tyla of House Praji; one of the most powerful banking clans.

When Tywin's father passed away, he was quick to replace his deceased father as the Imperial Liaison; he quickly took up residence on Coruscant to represent the Corporate Authority's interests. The Corporate Sector Authority was plunged into chaos after the Battle of Endor. Tywin's new role was deemed invalid as the Galactic Empire fell to the rebellion. Tywin fled Coruscant back to his home planet of Etti IV, fearful of the future; corporate power had dominated the Empire under the guise of the military-industrial complex for so long, how would it fall under a new regime?

After the formation of the New Republic, many within the Corporate Sector Authority wished to remain independent. The New Republic was plagued with individuals who harbored resentment towards the Corporate Authority and viewed them as evil as The Empire itself. The Corporate Authority was quick to name Tywin, Chief Strategy Lobbyist for the Galactic Corporate Policy League to represent their interest in the new Galactic Senate. Tywin was became an outspoken lobbyist among the Galactic Senate, he made more enemies than friends as he pushed through pro-corporate legislation through bribery, coercion, and subversion. He soon found himself unsatisfied with his current position; his ambitious hunger yearned for more. Tywin was able to fabricate evidence to remove the current ExO of the Direx Board under the clause "Any Executive Officer found with outside interest, is grounds for immediate removal of office". Tywin was a master manipulator, forcing the current ExO out and placing himself in the role himself. Immediately he solidified his power as ExO over the Direx Board and appointed himself as the representative to the Galactic Senate for the Corporate Sector Authority.


Political information

Political views: Tywin believes that the intergalactic corporations have built the universe; without them the galaxy as we know it wouldn't exist. Regulation is an unnecessary impediment to progress in the galaxy, government bureaucracy needs to be curbed at every corner.

Political faction and subfaction: Decentralists/Sovereignists - While both aligning with many of the original separatist ideals and supporting the mercantilism of the previous Empire, Tywin believes that a weak and decentralized Republic is the best for corporate interest.

Organisational allegiance: Corporate Sector Authority

Position within galactic government: Representative of the Corporate Sector Authority - Lobbyist

Political goal: To maintain the autonomy of the Corporate Sector Authority, halt unnecessary regulation on corporate affairs, and pursue a mercantilist policy in The Republic.

Favourable factions: Separatists - Status Quo - Palpatinists

Unfavourable factions: Centralist - Parliamentarians - Radicals

Key issue: Tywin's key issue(s) are the economy, banking, and slavery. The Corporate Sector Authority wishes to maintain laissez-faire economic practices and promote corporatism throughout the Republic. Heavily influenced by former separatist banking clans, they wish to seek repayment by the Republic. Finally, the Corporate Sector Authority has practiced slavery through their colonies in the Corporate Sector and do not wish to give this up any time soon.

It's a bit odd for a senator to support the Status Quo empire, since that did not have a senate, but if Goebbels can get the Nazis elected, this is probably possible too. You're accepted!

I don't think it is that odd, seeing as the planet remained loyal to the Empire till the very end and has just regained representation in the New Republic. Tycho was elected to represent not only to represent the planet of Kuat but the corporate interest of various intergalactic corporations. These corporations, including Kuat Drive Yards, faired extremely well under the Imperial regime and their focus on the military-industrial complex. Examine how Emperor expanded the Corporate Sector to over 30,000 planets; ultimately big business boomed under the empire without the restrictive conditions of the Republic. It would make sense for Tycho to represent the former Imperial regime for the sake of business autonomy.

Also, Tycho is still a WIP, so I will continually spruce up his application in the next day or so!

Ahh yes, in that case, all is well. It would make sense for them to work from the inside.

I'll probably end up rewriting the Moff character as a Corellian at this point to avoid stepping on Dalria's toes.

EDIT: Done.

With that out of the way, I wanted to ask you all if you wanted to start talking amongst yourself about personal relations. Since you will all be people with some standing in the galaxy, chances are you will all know one another, or at least know of one another. Perhaps some of you met before, served together, or were on different sides, either of an issue or the conflict.

Once you have relations hashed out, you can add them to your application, so we can keep track of them. Secret relationships, of course, can also be hashed out via TG.

A final note, not really apropo of anthing, but remember that your characters are individuals beside political actors. Some characters might be more inclined to take bribes, especially if they are ambivalent towards a position, or if they are particularly greedy. It's something to keep in the back of your heads.

EDIT: Okay, final final note: there is one important issue that does not merit mentioning, but it will be politically important:

Will Palpatine receive a State Funeral?

[Taridaria]

Application
Personal information

Name: Ewavdi
- Ewa - to close allies, friends, family and lovers
Age: 33, born 29 BBY
Species: Mirialan, Male

Appearance: Standing at just over 1.8 meters tall, Ewavdi is a healthy example of Mirialan physiology. His skin is a darker green than most, with his eyes a bright golden brown. Unlike most Mirialan males, he prefers to keep the faintest traces of a beard, not for vanity or personal style, but rather as a symbol of his paternal grandfather, which had been a human and who had ‘won over’ his grandmother with his luscious facial hair. He carries further symbols on his face, being proud of his heritage on all sides. The symbols around his mouth convey his experience and mastery in oration, with further symbols towards his academic, militaristic and economic training. He keeps his hair short and neat. in casual environments he likes to wear loose, free clothing, while in formal situations he wears uniforms that show off his physical health without leaning towards the obscene.


Planet of origin: Born on Mirial, he spent a few of his years on Coruscant, however with his family supporting the confederacy of independent systems, he was removed and relocated to finish his education on Onderon and have a first hand account of how governance worked. To see how a ‘true democracy’ functions. He left again when Saw Gerrera excised the Seperatist ‘occupation’ - and finished his education and training on Mirial, eventually returning again to become its Senator.

Senator of Mirial, Elected Representative of NAMOS- The New Alliance of Mid and Outer Systems, Representative Ewavdi

Short biography: Ewavdi was born on Mirial, to two career politicians. He was immediately spirited away to Coruscant, where he often sat in as a child to meetings and discussions his father had. While he may not have understood much of what was going on, he unconsciously came to understand the tone and candor of the political beast. From the moment he could speak his father would read to him, not stories of old heroes and knights, but of the workings of law and order. Unorthodox, to be sure, but his parents had sensed change. and while they may have been a shade too early to become the leaders required for this new world, their son would be just right in their stead.

When the war of the clones heated further, no longer feeling safe on Coruscant due to their Separatist sympathies, they fled to another, safer haven of the separatists. on Onderon he built up a reputation as a strong debater, and fervent believer in the ideals of the cause. from early on he would sit in, listen to the speeches of Dooku, and champion the freedoms that the republic had taken from them. He came to hate the obstinate nature of republic power, and the reluctance to share a power that he saw facilitated by the same systems undermined and left in the dark as to the implementation of said powers.

While personally coming to despise the necessity of war, he came to question the continued escalation of droid forces, however, when the planet was ‘liberated’ from Seperatist control by Saw Gerrera, he was radicalized for some time against the republic and its methods - the liberation having cost him the life of his mother and father. There was a brief period in which he had hoped the formation of the empire would allow for a more universal magnanimous rule, but when the empire started to strip the outer rim of its resources far beyond the republic, he vowed to never stop his push of Seperatist ideals, seeing the Empire as the natural end-state of core-power-consolidation.

While much smaller in scale, he became one of the defacto leaders of a new faction wishing to emulate the glory days of the CIS, during the mid to late stages of the Empire, voicing the old vows and speeches in secret, rousing ire and consolidating as much resources as he could. Even beyond that, he supported the Rebels on many occasions, supplying droids, capital and resources where he could. This got him the attention of more than a few higher ups in the empire, forcing him to go underground many times, often at the behest of those he was supporting. This willingness to risk his life to sustain alliances, maintain friendships, to share concerns and secure aid made him a bit of a legendary figure in the outer rim.

Luckily, he managed to escape death up until Yavin, after which he felt free to rise again to public notoriety, this time with the loyalty and support he had earned with almost twenty years of service. Returning to Mirial, he was elected to become its Senator and representative on Coruscant, intending to use his position in the senate to build on his greater plans for the galaxy.


Political information

Political views: While he understands the value of a central system of governance, he wants to reform the balance of power or at least the motivations behind maintaining that power, particularly the incentives towards supporting systems that don’t carry heavy political capital and who are relegated to ‘resource’ worlds. He believes that more personal freedom and agency to individual systems would require a greater effort on the part of the core to court their support, effectively implementing them into core negotiations and giving them freedom from pack-coercion. Beyond this, he wants to have greater representation as well as more effective representation of non core races, and disassemble the exclusionary rhetoric that enables some within the galaxy and exclude others. Finally, he wants to take a hard stance on organised crime that has been allowed to exist as a ‘necessary’ evil by the core worlds, who don’t see it as critical that they remove these threats to the lives and well being of outer rim societies.

Political faction and subfaction: Sovereingnist Decentralists, Senator for Mirial, and - NAMOS - The New Alliance of Mid and Outer Systems - a small group of planets, unions and guilds that wish to grow to prominence using the rhetoric of pre-empire Seperatist movement.

Organisational allegiance:Mirial, Trade Federation,Commerce Guild,Techno Union, Production, Mining, Banking Clans

Position within galactic government: As Senator for Mirial, and representative of a few systems systems that still hold that they have been excluded from the affairs of governance, that the empire has exploited them, that the republic under Palpatine had destroyed them and under Valorum they had driven them to war - he has some sway due to his connections with various guilds, clan and unions. While he does not hold control over these systems, he represents one of the unifying visions - his speeches reminding these systems that they had the power to undermine and bring to halt the powerful core because of one primary fact - that the system can and must be symbiotic, and only if they do nothing will it return to his parasitic state.

Political goal: Establish a committee of representatives with legislative sway to reform the inner-to-outer nature and power dynamics of governance. This he plans to do with reform in system association, giving systems with lower political sway or ‘bargaining value’ greater freedoms to shop-around their support. Be hopes that this will incentivise the core to not only create a more habitable political environment for these systems, but also foster a tradition of exclusivity and trust.

Favourable factions: Parliamentarians, Old Republicans - Valorumists, Separatists (Sympathetic)

Unfavourable factions: Centralists, Amidalists, Early Imperials, Status Quo, Palpatinists

Key issue: Planetary agency in the mid and outer rim
Slavery in the otuer rim
Criminality in the outer rim
The banks requiring reform
Racism against non core-races
Refugees that fled from outer worlds due to resource extraction
The economy
The Jedi and force users - requiring regulation and control

The app seems alright, but indeed, please edit it with proper capitalisation. There is one point, however: your character would lead a coalition that is a bit too large for my liking. He can be a senator for something a little smaller. The basic idea has my blessing, but scale it down a bit.

Also, you might want to look at the part about being the de facto leader of the CIS. The CIS collapsed after the slaughter on Mustafar, and while pockets of resistance persisted, there was no central authority. This plays into the smaller scale I am looking at for your representation. So, he can be the leader of a CIS pocket on a cluster of worlds, but not the entire apparatus.

Also remember that many people, both imperials and republicans, will dislike him for having been part of the CIS, which is still unpopular due to the clone wars. Many rebels will look favourably on your support, but civilian politicians and the general populace might not share that sentiment.

Personal information
Name: Stebla Eveker
Age: 50
Species: Human
Appearance: Person
Planet of origin: Coruscant, lower levels.
Rank and title: Chairperson of the National Progressive Party.
Short biography: Born into the lower levels of Coruscant, Stebla Eveker had a very rough upbringing. In order to escape the slums of Coruscant, Stebla sold himself to slavery and had himself shipped to the Middle-Rim to work as a factory worker. Once the Clone Wars started, Stebla opted to join the CIS after his planet was freed by said government. From there, he joined up in a CIS organic unit and fought in various battles against the Republic from Geonosis to Mimban. At the end of the Clone Wars and the Empire declared, he went into hiding for a few years. After everything settled down, Stebla sought to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The ending of the civil war brought Stebla to become disillusioned with the Republic as whole and decided to form his own party to strike out and try to form a wholly new separate state against the injustice done by both the Republic and Imperialists in the form of the National Progressive Party.

Political information
Political views: Stebla Eveker is best described as a revolutionary radical. Stebla favors more radical action to be taken against the social and economic injustice that the galaxy has to offer and sees the Republic and its democratic-ideals as ineffective tools to combat said injustice, and wants to separate from the Republic to form a new order. The bottom line for Stebla is to aid the poor, disabled, downtrodden, and the best way that he thinks that it can be done is via leftist authoritarianism. Stebla wishes for a one-party-state that acts as a revolutionary vanguard with a strong executive branch to further the goals of revolutionary ideals. Stebla believes that the state should take an active role in promoting the general welfare and defense by expansive social programs and the built-up of the military-industrial-complex in order to protect against reactionaries. On the question of morals and rights, Stebla believes that access to food, water, medical care, and material needs outweigh the idealist thinking of liberty, freedom of speech, etc. In terms of economic ideals, Stebla believes in the rapid industrialization of the Outer and Middle-rim through a planned economy of five-year-plans in order to get caught up with the Republic and the core-worlds. Maybe in the future, once the process of sufficient industrialization is done then Stebla might think of moving more towards a mixed economy with only key-industries needing to be nationalized. Socially, Stebla favors equity of society, abolishment of slavery, and promotion of anti-discrimination laws. On the topic of amnesty, Stebla wants to court-martial the worst known offenders for both rebels and Imperialists, but also wants to quietly give amnesty towards certain mid-level officers and bureaucrats.

Political faction and subfaction: Radical Separatist - National Progressive Party - Totalist.
Organisational allegiance: National Progressive Party, Totalist.

Position within galactic government: Stebla is the overall head of a large political party known as the National Progressive Party (NPP) within the Outer and Mid-Rim. The NPP is mainly made up of immigrants, former slaves, displaced veterans and soldiers, and working class individuals (engineers, famers, production workers, etc) of low social status and in wealth. Within the Mid-Rim, the NPP has gathered a decent support base of factory laborers, former and current slaves, and the general poor in cities. In the Outer-Rim, a heavy political battle goes on with the decentralists and separatists with debates and shows of arms between the NPP and decentralists/separatists/Imperial paramilitary and militia units. On the topic of militia/paramilitary, the NPP has various different groups of them in the Outer and Mid-Rim, which only causes more issues for the current party. Infighting is common among the NPP with different internal factions battling it out in the political scene. You have Totalists, authoritarian leftists. Revolutionary Anarchists, a radical leftist form of the decentralists, and then lastly is the moderate faction of the Democratic-Revolutionaries, who advocates for a federalist system. While a bit divided internally, the NPP is held together by the threats of the Imperialists, Republic, and Separatists and their chairman, Stebla, who has been working to better unite all the internal factions of the NPP.
Political goal: In the short term, Stebla seeks to enforce party unity and cooperation among the internal factions for the time being. He needs to stabilize the party’s internal tensions and refocus the NPP attention towards consolidating power in the Mid and Outer-Rim. Stebla also seeks to undermine the Revolutionary Anarchists and Democratic-Revolutionaries in favor of the Totalists, which requires replacing key-party positions with Totalist members and taking away popular support from the two internal factions. Stebla also has to keep an eye towards the Republic/Imperialists/Separatists and try to keep them out of the affairs of the NPP, only if it threatens the goals of the NPP.
Favourable factions: Radicals, New Republican Centralists, Separatists.
Unfavourable factions: Decentralists/Sovereignists, Parliamentarians, Old Republicans, Status Quo Imperials, Palpatinists, Warlords, Early Imperials.
Key issue: Economy and Slavery.

Ah sorry...the font I use on google docs makes all text look capitals. I did not even notice I was using them. I will fix it when I get to my PC. Sorry again!

The app seems alright, but indeed, please edit it with proper capitalisation. There is one point, however: your character would lead a coalition that is a bit too large for my liking. He can be a senator for something a little smaller. The basic idea has my blessing, but scale it down a bit.

Also, you might want to look at the part about being the de facto leader of the CIS. The CIS collapsed after the slaughter on Mustafar, and while pockets of resistance persisted, there was no central authority. This plays into the smaller scale I am looking at for your representation. So, he can be the leader of a CIS pocket on a cluster of worlds, but not the entire apparatus.

Also remember that many people, both imperials and republicans, will dislike him for having been part of the CIS, which is still unpopular due to the clone wars. Many rebels will look favourably on your support, but civilian politicians and the general populace might not share that sentiment.

Okay, so I made him one of the leaders and a representative of a new faction known as NAMOS, which is made up of a few systems that have subscribed to rhetoric he has been pushing for years, even under empire rule - essentially that while Dooku turned out to be a traitor to their cause, and the movement was a sham - the ideas still held water, and the reason why they were so good a tool for the Emperor was because they were valid claims made in bad faith. I understand that he won't be liked by many, and I don't dislike that. Also, those last bits of the Seperatist cause that died out recently, I am having him be a part of removing some of that, as they were mostly extremists on the military side of all that. And he has never been a supporter of the droid armies, and he denounces the war crimes committed in the past. BUT - he still feels that the ideas at the core of the movement were valid. That is what he is building this faction on.

Let me know if this is okay, and if you need anything else please do not hesitate to let me know.

You may be able to incorporate some of this- or have to consider this- in your bio; Reconquest of the Rim. It lasted three years and successfully ended the former CIS.

Additionally, not being a senator- but the representative of an organization that operates a separate government - wouldn't he be considered a Separatist rather then a Decentralist (a faction in the senate)? He may I think favor the decentralist but himself not be part of that senatorial factions... him not being a senator. As a representative of this alliance he'd only be trying to enter the Republic if the alliance he represents desires to join the Republic. From what you describe they seem content to do their own thing. As in, he may see a chance for reform in the Galactic Republic through the Decentralist and thus favor them (and his own politics in the Alliance may mirror them) but he himself not be a member.

This is marvellous, thank you so much! Keep it up, it will be very helpful to keep track of players. I will post your work as the accepted list.

I shall in this case wait for applicants to be approved before adding to the list It takes a lot of tedious editing to add to the table and the mouse I am using has a tendency to double click when the mouse button is released (yes when the button is let go it tends to double click) making the task somewhat frustrating XD

Additionally, I have a question, just to make sure I understand events correctly- it's been two weeks since the New Republic was declared?

Hmmm... I did think of it in that vein, but I think - upon reading that, that I would prefer for him to be a bit more... Central. Perhaps he could have started out as that, but then - preferring the access of the senate, perhaps I should have him be elected to be a senator from Mirial. Obviously with the consent of the faction - with the overall intent of using the movement of the decentralists to further their goals. I will think it over some more. Thanks for the link.

Personal information
Name: Stebla Eveker
Age: 50
Species: Human
Appearance: Person
Planet of origin: Coruscant, lower levels.
Rank and title: Chairperson of the National Progressive Party.
Short biography: Born into the lower levels of Coruscant, Stebla Eveker had a very rough upbringing. In order to escape the slums of Coruscant, Stebla sold himself to slavery and had himself shipped to the Middle-Rim to work as a factory worker. Once the Clone Wars started, Stebla opted to join the CIS after his planet was freed by said government. From there, he joined up in a CIS organic unit and fought in various battles against the Republic from Geonosis to Mimban. At the end of the Clone Wars and the Empire declared, he went into hiding for a few years. After everything settled down, Stebla sought to join the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The ending of the civil war brought Stebla into the Decentralists cause but later on, he joined the Centralist faction. Stebla then became disillusioned with the Republic as whole and decided to form his own party to strike out and try to form a new government against the injustice done by both the Republic and Imperialists in the form of the National Progressive Party.

Political information
Political views: Stebla Eveker is best described as a revolutionary radical, a former offshoot of the Centralist in his fledgling years after the collapse of the Empire. Stebla favors more radical action to be taken against the social and economic injustice that the galaxy has to offer and sees the Republic and its democratic-ideals as ineffective tools to combat said injustice. The bottom line for Stebla is to aid the poor, disabled, downtrodden, and the best way that he thinks that it can be done is via leftist authoritarianism. Stebla wishes for a one-party-state that acts as a revolutionary vanguard with a strong executive branch to further the goals of revolutionary ideals. Stebla believes that the state should take an active role in promoting the general welfare and defense by expansive social programs and the built-up of the military-industrial-complex in order to protect against reactionaries. On the question of morals and rights, Stebla believes that access to food, water, medical care, and material needs outweigh the idealist thinking of liberty, freedom of speech, etc. In terms of economic ideals, Stebla believes in the rapid industrialization of the Outer and Middle-rim through a planned economy of five-year-plans in order to get caught up with the Republic and the core-worlds.

It looks good, but one issue: it has been two weeks since the death of Palpatine, so there has not been much chance for politics to develop afterwards. You might want to alter that in your backstory.

Additionally, I have a question, just to make sure I understand events correctly- it's been two weeks since the New Republic was declared?

It has been, yes.

Hey, Harbertia, you are pretty active. Are you interested in being a Co-op for this?

I am and willing to take on that role. Though as a player I would like to be involved in the OOC more then the IC in an admistrative capacity as is the usual arrangement on NS. I do not believe I can manage multiple characters at this time to assist in the IC narrative. Still I am able to discuss IC matters should you desire consul.
