Economic Policies

Maldor nodded to Antipater somewhat hesitantly as he... it? chimed in. Maldor was not accustomed to droids having a voice in governmental affairs. The GA had succumbed to that lunacy. Though he supposed getting used to such things was a small price to pay for playing the Phoenix of the Empire's pyre.

A deferential bow was made to the Diarchs as they appeared.

And then a polite smile to the ludicrous request of the Mygeetan Councilor.

"Dear Councilors, your information about our economic corporate entities is unfortunately out of date. I operate Trigonus industries, now. And the Diarchy is home to the largest ship manufacturer in the galaxy outside of Kuat Drive Yards. Not to mention we enjoy the participation of sixteen major systems with GDPs that rival your own, and hundreds of smaller systems, which have a combined economic output that dwarfs yours.

However, these facts are immaterial to the discussion at hand."

Which is why I just mentioned them, of course. The message was clear: You are a small fish in a big pond, and had better not bite off more than you can chew.

"We have not come here to sell the Diarchy to you, nor to shave off any of its member corporate entities. Nor to engage in any such base transaction.

We have come here to offer you something infinitely more valuable.

We are offering you a voice in the government. We would like Mygeetan Councilors to join the Great Forum of the Diarchal Chancellorate. You will be empowered to advise the Diarchs as a member of that forum, and suggest economic and technologc legislation, make proposals on trading practices, submit tariff policies, and help form patent regulations.

Not everyone gets this lucrative opportunity.

Those worlds that resist the Diarchs are inevitably occupied, with Diarchal representatives imposed upon them. They are not trusted to manage their own affairs. If they do not see the wisdom of Diarchal rule, how can they be trusted to govern their own worlds?

But you... you wise persons have chosen a better way.

Through peaceful cooperation, you will retain your voices and control over your own affairs, and gain the opportunity to influence the DIarchy at large as Economic and Technologic Chancellors for your world.

This opportunity is worth much more than all you have named. Why, it is an opportunity that dwarfs even the value of the many tens of thousands of ships and war machines which the Diarchy fields in its military operations. Imagine that! The Diarchy fields enough war materiel to blot out the sky of this world- a force worth many billions of credits- but we offer you something with titanically greater worth.

That is because nothing could be more valuable than having a voice.

Believe me. It is something to which the Silenced could attest to...

If they but had a voice."

His smile seemed somewhat ominous in the wake of that statement.

His argument rested on three simple points:

1) You're not important enough to dictate terms.

2) You would have no hope of a military resistance.

3) If you persist in being ludicrous, you will lose the singular thing we are letting you keep: a voice in your own affairs.

[Tertius C. Nargath]

OBJECTIVE: Deal with the Mygeetan Council
Maldor Mecetti | Antipater | Rocho | Diarch Rellik | Diarch Reign

More people seemed to flood into the conference room, with Diarch Reign also arriving, this meant that these diplomatic proceedings could no longer be avoided, it even put additional pressure on the Mygeetan ruling council, as with the presence of not just some emmisaries and businessfolk, they now had the most senior leadership of the faction attempting to absorb their territory right in their midst.

Yet, for some reason, Murkus didn't seem to mind it too much, still munching and crunching away at his snacks while Reign entered. Though when Maldor Mecetti raised his voice in concern and opposition to the proposal which had been so generously formulated by the council, the rotund man stopped eating, his wide and obnoxious smile turning into somewhat of a scowl. "Trigonus or Mecetti... can you claim to have made any significant headway within the region or are you still mainly operating in former Empire of the Lost territory, sir Mecetti?"

Murkus' words were harsh, it was clear that at the very least, even if their corporate information might have been somewhat outdated in some areas, it looked like they were clearly in the know on who operated where and apparently Murkus in particular knew how to push people's buttons.

"As for what YOU are offering...is this something YOU are proposing...or is it a proposal sanctioned by the honored Diarchs present?" As a reaction to these words, the other members of the council looked straight towards Diarch Reign and Diarch Rellik clearly expecting an answer to come from them.

The Muun who had opened up these talks suddenly raised his long, spindly hand and let out a dry cough to draw the attention back to himself. "You speak of having a voice within your chancellorate...but we have done some research and is this so-called governmental body not wholly subservient to the honored Diarchs? Do tell me, what is the point of having a voice when it isn't heard anyway? We have had autonomous control for eons exactly because we never trusted the politics and the politicians, we conduct business in credits and hard cash. Our industried flourish only because of this autonomy. You would have us bow our heads in deference to a political structure which...do forgive me my words... looks just as worthless, unreliable and pointless as a senate within an empire ruled by an absolutist emperor."

turning his attention towards the two diarchs, the muun remained calm as he tilted his oversized head a bit to the left, the flaps of the cap on his head leaning aside as he smirked ever so slightly. "Upon your ascension and recognition as a major player within this galaxy...your rethoric was quite...hostile, as such...Mygeeto would feel more comfortable if assurances were given that our contacts and clientele would be spared from the downright hostile ambitions you seemed to display upon said ascension. While we hope it was not your intention to phrase your intentions in such an aggressive manner... given many of our industrial leaders, not to say many among this ruling body have dealt and continue dealing with those you have aggrevated and perhaps even offended... can you give us assurances and recompense should our business suffer as a direct result of your...territorial ambitions?"

 

[Laphisto]

As the Lilaste order shuttles came in for a landing a few of the pilots took the initiative and landed Thier ships horizontally against the pirate base, which gave. Ample cover against the oncoming fire the walkers that were dropped off didn't make it very far before they ended up pulling back due to the extensive fire, opting to help provide cover fire for the ground forces.

The moment Laphisto's shuttle touched down he had immediately rushed out saber drawn as he went into a defensive posture deflecting oncoming blaster fire back at the enemy base or down into the snow which ever was the quickest so long as he was able to protect the soldiers around him. Reaching out with the force laphisto half snarled pulling at the snow and pulling up large banks of snow immediately compressing it with the force and creating make shift barricades - that while not the best for using as cover they still provided blind spots for troop movement - rushing forwards laphisto smashed himself up against the rear hatch of a Gunship drawing his LO-18D rifle and begening to lob slug rounds towards the enemy.

" We need to find a way to move forwards! The shuttles shields will only hold for so long before our cover gets destroyed and leaves us stranded in this barren waste land!" Laphisto shouted over the commlink between bursts of fire
