Prime Minister
Sanjin / Cloud Colony Areta Ka / Capitol Sector
Governor’s Palace
Long years of war and social upheaval had disheartened populations and crumbled infrastructure. Four months have passed since the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances was founded. Life didn’t get miraculously better. There was a new hope though, a sort of optimism for the future that had disappeared from the Core Worlds some time ago. Since it’s founding, Borleias, Chandrila, Foerost, J't'p'tan, Lilac, Metellos, Nyeon, Osadia, Questal, Ragoon VI, Thracior, and many others, had joined the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. They came for their own reasons. Some joined looking for protection, others for economic relief, and many others to be part of something greater again.
Carolina Tevinter was proud her nation flew the star-spangled banner. The starbird was a source of honor. She lived through the harrowing years when the One Sith Empire smashed their way through the Core Worlds. She was a young girl when Coruscant fell. She was a young woman when the Sith Star Destroyers darkened the sky over Pol Anaxes. Her people became the pawns of imperial powers. The Sith, and the imperial warlords that came after them, were many things but always capricious and uncaring. For Carolina, the hard victories won by the Core Federation through the leadership of Chancellor Emmen Tagge, had presented the Core Worlds a second chance. They could avoid the mistakes of their predecessors.
The Republic fell to the One Sith Empire because of government weakness. Defeat after defeat befell the Republic until it abandoned the Core Worlds entirely. It held on in the Outer Rim for a little while but ultimately disintegrated into obscurity. And so, bearing those recent experiences in mind, the Senator of the Azure System had called a meeting. She directed her office to make contact with Senators and Representatives from across the Core Worlds. People who shared her interest in a strong national government, one that was grounded in constitutional principle.
And so, bearing such recent experiences the Senator of the Azure System had called the meeting. Her office made contact with Senators and Representatives from across the Core Worlds who shared in her interest of a strong national government founded on strong constitutional principles—Centrists—and invited them to attend a gathering. Jasol Dorsian—Governor Admiral of Sanjin—graciously offered to host the Centrist Caucus. So an ensemble of political figures were gathering on planet Sanjin.
The conference room had a beautiful view of the sea of clouds. Streams of airspeeder traffic flowed from one cloud colony to the next. The room had a conference table with ten chairs around it. On the table was a holoprojector for general use. Outside the conference room was the functionary room, a large room that could comfortably fit a hundred-and-fifty people. Delegations from across the Core Worlds had gathered. They were busy with conversation and enjoying themselves. Politicking and buffets often went hand-in-hand. The Sanjin staff had lined the walls with buffet tables with delicacies from all over the Galaxy. One-wheeled droids rode about the room, pedantically offering alcoholic beverages. The Centrist Caucus would start after enough time had passed for people to get better acquainted.
The Carolina Tevinter watched it all from afar. She was dressed conventionally with a midnight blue coat with a matching skirt. Her lapel was adorned with a platinum pin with the emblem of the Azure System Commonwealth. She stood by the entrance to the conference room. One of her assistants was quietly reciting who had shown up, dropping a couple of biographical facts here and there. Carolina was only half-paying attention.
