451.24 // Galactic Senate reconstitutes the Ruusan Reformation Act
In a landmark victory, newly appointed Chancellor Vekau Khorta takes to the Senate Floor for his first time in the position. Rallying together the majority of delegates to one cause; the prosperity and economic wellfare of the Republic and all its inhabitant systems. He had this to say:
Peace. A foreign construct, one that has not graced this Republic in many cycles. Even when war does not cross the borders of our space, we seek it out. To what end I ask this Senate. We have strived to protect and insert ourselves into conflicts outside of our borders, to help those who’s elected officials choose not to stand with us. While our own denizens struggle to put food on the table and find steady income.
The economic stability and wellfare of this Republic should be a matter close to all of us. Going forward, the perogative of this Senate will be to focus inward, protecting our borders, revitalising our trade routes and bringing a wealth back to the Republic that hasn’t been seen in millenia.
In recent talks with Grandmaster Audax of the Jedi Order, he has agreed to stand their Jedi down in acts of war and resume their role as Galactic Peacekeepers within the Republic, providing a supportive role as would befit their wisdom.
I move the Senate to vote on reconstituting the Ruusan Reformation Act.
Marren, It was clear to me that the majority of the Senate seemed onboard with the newly appointed Chancellors agenda, though naturally some delegations were quieter than most. The demilitarisation of the Jedi will play a very significant change in how the Republic operates in the Galactic arena. Does it mean that the Jedi will pull their ranks back from the Thanium Sector? How this will unfold with the troubles on the borders of Republic Space is yet to be determined.
Back to you in the studio.
Thank you Hasla!
