Darik Plutan
Character
[member="Isley Verd"]
Darik looked over the carnage of Geonosis with a wary eye from the fifth story of a prefabricated office building. He had been at the heart of the battles on the surface and watched his friends and colleagues chopped to pieces by the droids of the newly declared Techno Union, or was it Albion Systems Authority, or was it CIS? Darik was no longer sure. What he was sure about now, though, was the necessity of finishing the job of cleaning house on Geonosis. As the recent invasion had shown, their erstwhile previous allies became enemies and enemies became trusted friends overnight. Mister Verd's holdings on Geonosis had shown him to be totally untrustworthy and willing to jump ship because the Geonosian people had expressed their right to select their own form of government. They had overlooked this for too long.
Their representative on Geonosis, Mister Anderson, had seen the carnage himself too. The two of them would make the situation right.
"Mister Anderson, or should I say Representative Anderson, do you have the paperwork finalized?" Darik asked.
The representative nodded his head and handed Darik a stack of papers. Most of it was translations, but its meaning was firm and absolute. Darik placed it on the desk and began to read:
DONE WITH THE FULL AND EXPRESSED CONSENT OF THE GEONOSIAN MONARCH AND ALL HIVE QUEENS AND OTHER ASSOCIATED MATRIARCHS
WE, the legally selected representatives of the native and non-native peoples of Geonosis, KNOWING that the interests of the sentient peoples of Geonosis are best served by keeping and distributing the means of production among the worker, warrior, and ruling castes in an equal fashion, FOLLOWING the tenets of Collectivism and Selectivism as chosen by the peoples of Geonosis and our allies in the Rebel Alliance, DO HEREBY order the IMMEDIATE AND OFFICIAL NATIONALIZATION OF ALL FOREIGN HOLDINGS ON GEONOSIS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
Foreign businesses are those designated as corporate holdings, subsidiaries, businesses, or other organizations with the purposes of the creation of wealth and profit for individuals or groups of peoples. Any business that is not a registered private entity within the space of the Rebel Alliance or any of its allies or is found to be in collusion with the enemies of the Rebel Alliance and its allies is hereby stripped of its legal right to claim ownership or control over the following:

3) POLITICAL EXPLOITATION: CREATION OF THE FORMER POLITICAL SYSTEM OF GEONOSIS WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING THE ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION OF THE PLANET AND ITS INHABITANTS.
Darik read over the papers and gave his signature next to Representative Anderson. It was legally binding. In effect, the people of Geonosis had declared their intent to go to war with their former corporate masters. They'd put the Rebel Alliance in a tough bind, but he was given full authority to sign any and all legally passed bills by the Geonosian government. As such, he grimaced knowing what would inevitably come next.
