Tier 3: Contains all officials selected by the populace to oversee all general domestic affairs such as Lawmaking, Economics, and Diplomacy. Laws passed by these officials cannot be overridden by the upper tiers or Laertia. A vote from them counts as five votes, due to their duty to represent the interests of the populace at Large and to challenge the authority of the upper tiers for especially sensitive matters

House Io Membership
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
House Io was truly formed in the fires of the Third Imperial Civil War. Founded by Laertia Io, who turned her back on and later totally betrayed the Jedi Order over an irreconcilable disagreement over which was the greater threat: The Bryn'adul or The crumbling Sith Empire, hammered relentlessly by the NIO. Outraged that the Jedi Order left billions to die at the hands of the Bryn'adul rather than declare a truce with the Sith to stop them completely. Laertia caused massive casualties for the NIO, GA, SJC, NJO, The Bryn'adul, and The Maw, which got her branded as an intergalactic terrorist, especially since she destroyed Gihinnom, murdering it's entire population through energy Torpedo Bombardment rather than allow Gihinnom to escape, which led to the deaths of thousands of allied personnel in the CIS. House Io is treated as a dangerous renegade organization, filled with people perceived by the major factions like the GA as having been brainwashed by Xiphos, when the truth is actually far more horrifying: they needed no brainwashing, as nearly all organics in service to the house today are enraged survivors and refugees of the Bryn'adul and Maw massacres, bent on revenge not only against them, but against the Jedi Order that they feel left them to die to settle their feud with the Sith, and, in their minds, they have sided with the only person willing to go through anything, smash through anyone, in order to obtain concrete success, an opinion that didn't lower one bit after Gihinnom, many of the refugees sneering openly at the losses the CIS suffered because of Laertia's decision, as they viewed the Confederacy First Policy as a major factor that allowed the GA and NIO's policies to move unopposed, thus allowing the Bryn'adul to slaughter their families better. Laertia did nothing to stoke this sentiment, choosing to let it fester and spread passively, until the people of their own free will concluded that any who stand in the way of their revenge or their new way of life deserve to die, the same as their real enemies.
