The Galactic Senate RPG

Welcome to The Galactic Senate RPG. It is both my and MasterPrenn's hope that this game will capture the thrill, mystery, and fun that is the Galactic Senate; and that those attributes will be translated smoothly over to you the player, providing you with a truly unique gaming experience. This is a political game unlike any other, taking the best parts of preexisting Senate games and fusing them into one cohesive whole.

How it works:

You will be playing a newly elected senator, cast into office after the historic governmental shake-up from the recent midterm elections. You will be representing a planet of your choosing (first come, first serve). When the game starts, the GM will PM each senator a list of objectives; upon which this game is built. The list of objectives will be what the people of your planet (who’ve elected you) want and need. The more you accomplish for them, the more power you will gain. Another advantage you gain by accomplishing your objectives is that of future ease. The happier your people are, the less demands they will place on you. Happy people translate into easier jobs for their leaders. Work hard enough and your planet might become a safe district, where re-election is almost guaranteed. The game takes right before the NJO. This time is chosen primarily because it was a time of prosperity for the New Republic, with no major wars and general peace in the galaxy. SW Canon will not be playing a major role in this game.

The Parties

At the start of the game, there will be 2 major parties (liberal/left-of-center and conservative/right-of-center). Other parties can be formed as the players see fit. Each of the two major parties will be controlled by a GM. MASTERPRENN will be heading the liberal-leaning party, and Imperial_Hammer will be leading the conservative-leaning party.

The role of parties in the galactic political arena is an important one. Your party funded your campaign and do not forget this. Be very wary of the consequences of alienating your party, because without them, money and support will become very difficult to come by. There might be certain aspects, bonuses, or trends that are party specific that will be available only to the party-faithful.

At the beginning of the game, you and the rest of your party will need to set down two things…

1.) A party name… and
2.) A ‘whip’ (the person that tries to make sure that party loyalties are upheld. If no one wants this role, the party leaders will serve as impromptu whips until someone wants to take the role)

*If your party so wishes, you can also vote for party logos, slogans, officials and things like that. This effort will be coordinated by the party leaders.

The majority party will be the party with the most players, and the minority party will be that with the least players.

As stated earlier, players can break off and create their own parties. There are consequences (good and bad) to this, so make sure you think hard about it. A party can be established when it has a membership of at least three active players.



Gameplay

Gameplay in this game will be split into two categories:

In session
During this period (1 month real-time per period), players will be at the capital: passing bills, making votes, and pushing their party and personal agendas. Because this is a concentrated time period, voting times will be short and things will be concentrated.

Out of session
During this period (1 month at a time), players will be fully immersed in their personal lives. They will be visiting home, as well as attending important business meetings with allies, enemies, constituents, and the media. Before every Out of Session period, the agenda for the next in session period will be given, so that Senators will know what to expect when the next in-session period begins. This way, they can are able to work on next period's agenda while they are out and about. Also, revised player objectives will be given along with the agenda.

These two periods will rotate each month, and both are equally important to the game. What happens at home with one's personal life may influence what will happen to a Senator while the Senate is in session, and vice versa.

Popularity

As in any political arena, popularity and public image will play a large part to this game. The GM’s will control the public, and will express the public’s opinion of you and the Senate in three ways.

1. Your objectives: If you are doing good and pleasing your people, your objectives will be easy and painless to complete. But if you are not listening to what your people want, the objectives will get harder and more difficult.

2. The Polls: Periodically, the GM’s will release polling data, which will indicate how the public feels about you. These polls will have consequences, so you want to do well on them.

3. The Media: At times, your character may be invited to appear on a news show, or comment on a big issue. This can be a valuable (but dangerous) tool in building a name for one’s self. If you would like to have media opportunities, it is suggested that you do things that would make you desirable for an interview.

Alliances

The world of galactic politics is a tough one, and one can seldom make it on their own. Like the parties, alliances are another form of possible character interaction. As you go about your political career, be sure to make friends with the powerful.

Negative campaigning against another Senator is an option in this game, as is blackmail. Though do be careful, because all of your actions will have wide-reaching consequences. The more interaction between players, the more fun this game will be. Strategy sessions over PM, as well as cooperative story building is encouraged and will be rewarded by the GM team.



The Chancellor

The Chancellor will be elected by the Senators (and the ‘people of the Galaxy’; the GM). Each party will nominate their candidate and the winner of this vote amongst the Senate will be crowned the new Chancellor. The Chancellor is important, as he or she can both veto bills passed by the Senate, as well as wield a great deal of influence in the government.

Qualifications for the post of Chancellor are as follows:

*Candidate must be nominated and seconded before voting begins.

*Candidate must be a quality player, who is capable of taking the leadership position. GM holds the right to veto/verify any decision made by the Senate concerning the election of a Chancellor by manipulating public sentiment for or against a candidate.

*Chancellors serve 4 month terms and can be re-elected for up to 3 terms.

The Constitution

It is not mandatory that you memorize the Constitution, but below are the laws of the land that your senator must abide by (or try to change, if you so wish)

* The constitution was created long ago, and has been (for the most part) kept in tact.
* At any time in the game, the GMs reserve the right to change/veto/nullify any part of the constitution.

Granted to the Public

The rights of freedom of the press/religion/speech
The right to a fair/speedy trial
Equal rights to all sentient beings
Planets are locally run on a municipal level (a system of shared federalism is in place, akin to the US federal system)

Checks and Balances

Senate makes/passes all laws
A simple majority of votes (50% + 1) is required to pass a law
Chancellor can veto any law passed
A 2/3 majority of votes is required to override a veto
Any senator can request a ‘vote of no confidence’ in the Chancellor
A 3/4 majority of votes is required to remove Chancellor from post, Vice Chancellor replaces chancellor, majority leader next in line
A 3/4 majority of votes is required to amend the Constitution

The Judicial branch (controlled by one player and backed by the GM’s) enforces the constitutionality of the laws
The Judicial branch is allowed to express its opinion on the constitutionality of the laws, but does not have the power of judicial review (as in: they cannot veto legislation passed by the Senate)
The Judicial branch can remove Chancellor from post at any time if it is decided that the Chancellor has committed ‘unconstitutional’ acts. This is again, only with the GMs’ blessing.

*Players are encouraged to ask questions about the constitution when in doubt, and “Constitutional Lawyers,” played by the GM will be more than happy to assist you.

Passing Laws

The lifeblood of the Senate is its laws, for without them, there would be nothing to talk about. While the GMs are happy to write laws to keep the game going, players are welcome and encouraged to make the laws themselves. Laws authored by a player will grant them strong benefits to their prestige and reputation, and if such laws pass the Senate, this bonus compounds even further.

The Law Making Process will go something like this:

Step 1.) Make the Bill: Bills should assume formal language, though it doesn’t have to be exceedingly so. Players are welcome to take the following format, with each of the outlined aspects being in place

Bill Title:
Author:
Co-Author: (This is required and will serve as a practical seconding opinion)
Contents: Can be done in summary
Funding: Will it be by tax, program cuts, or just added on for a deficit? For the first two, give the descriptions please.

(Optional)
Enforcement: Will there be any?
Implimentation: Is it immediate or does the bill set a threshold before it comes into law?

Step 2.) The bill is submitted. Bills can be proposed at any time, while the Senate is in or out of session. Bills will be submitted to Senate Steering Committee (the GMs), who will place it within the Senate agenda. Which party controls the Senate will decide which GM (myself or Prenn) will place the Bill. This will, quite naturally, result in a partisan choice.

Step 3.) When the Bill comes up on the agenda, it will be voted upon, passed or failed, and enacted within the game.

The Rules:

1.) Obey the TOS and Rules of Service
2.) Respect all other players and treat them as equals
3.) GMs (MASTERPRENN and Imperial_Hammer) are law.
4.) GMs reserve the right to warp the story/time as they see fit
5.) PM all sheets to Imperial_Hammer.
6.) Have fun!

A Note about Non-Senator Characters: As this game is a political game, players are strongly encouraged to play as Senators. This will be the main aim of this RPG, and the most fulfilling gameplay will be found here. However, if you are interested in playing other roles, feel free to do so with the above two sentences in mind. As a further rule, all non-Senator characters will need to be attached somehow to a Senator. Either as Senator X's bodyguard, or pilot, or secretary or whatever (like the role of mechanics in the "Podracer" series). Prior approval of your "boss" Senator will be needed. If players are having trouble finding another Senator that will be willing to hire them, they may apply to become staff to the party leaders. We, the GMs, will approve this when we approve the player's sheet. All non-Senator characters can use the above character sheet, just without the "politics" section attached to it.



So there you are. Please consider joining! Feel free to PM myself or Masterprenn if you have any questions!

Personality: Fun loving and care free, Bryce is comfortable in any situation, but can be serious when it is called for.
Schooling: Coruscant College of Law
Bio:

Little is know of Bryce's childhood, except that he was born and raised somewhere in the Coruscant Underworld, around The Works and The Uscuru Entertainment District, based on references made in speeches and his accent. He worked as a Bartender during the wanning days of the Empire, and somehow managed to afford entrance into the Coruscant College of Law, the Galaxies most prestiges Law School, while still continuing his Bar Tending nightly. He became a Rebel Informant, and after the fall of the Empire worked briefly in the Alliance Intelligence Agency as a Coruscanti Operative.

He has been voted Coruscant's most Eligible Bachelor three years running by The Coruscanti, a monthly pop-culture periodical, and has an estimated net worth of over 25 Million Credits.

About:
Name: Rade Kell
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Tall and muscular, medium-length brown hair, green eyes, prefers to wear black suits (which, to the bemusement of others, seems to amuse him)
Personality: Ruthless and aggressive, given to thinly veiled insults and sarcastic comments
Schooling: Unknown (if any)
Bio: Born on a backwater world in the Outer Rim, Rade Kell certainly didn't start off on life's easy path. At a young age he took up the profession of a mercenary, fighting for crime lords, planetary governments, and even the Empire. Eventually he rose to the top of his unit, leading it through battles across dozens of worlds. While doing this, he came up with a plan to increase his own power and wealth greatly. Instead of continuously having to buy new weapons and ammunition for his unit, he would go straight to the source. Plan in mind, he made his entry into the world of business by purchasing a small weapons manufacturer on the planet of Druckenwell with a stash of credits he had slowly been building up with pay from his missions. From this position, he would supply both his own unit and conflicting governments with arms, essentially creating conflicts which he and his unit would then be paid to fight in.

He spent several years doing this, leading his unit and expanding his business, and eventually he came to control over 25% of the arms manufacturers on the planet. This continued to be quite profitable for him, until the Pellaeon-Gavrisom treaty was signed. With this, conflict in the galaxy began to die down, as they could no longer go unnoticed as they could when the two biggest powers in the galaxy had been fighting. His main source of income gone, Rade made the full switch to business, converting his mercenary unit into his own private military force and supplying arms to the major powers instead of the planetary governments. Druckenwell being a planet that prizes financial success above all else, it was inevitable that he would rise even higher in the power hierarchy. Soon he was elected as the planet's representative in the New Republic Senate....

Politics
Representative For: Druckenwell
Party: Conservative
Personal Platform: Military buildup, tax cuts and increased freedom for trade guilds and corporations, more aggressive foreign policy

About:
Name: Territha
Age: 70
Gender: Female
Species: Wookiee
Appearance: Chestnut brown fur covering head to toe with a slightly longer tuft of hair on her head.
Personality: Laid back unless something upsets her. Been known to throw things if something upsets her.
Schooling: Leadership School on Andara
Bio: Lived before the Empire was born, Territha has lost much in her life. She was taken into slavery as a young Wookiee, just after she passed her passage into young adulthood was completed and ended up as a Senator’s ‘pet’. In this she lucked out, as her life wasn’t one of hard labor, but servitude. She learned much during this time, about life and politics.

When it was declared that slaves were no longer allowed by the Senate, she was able to leave and return to her homeworld. Much was changed and she didn’t fit in. Inspired by her experience on Coruscant in the company of a Senator, Territha convinced the leaders on Kashyyyk to send her to Leadership School on Andara. After the fall of the Empire the Wookiee council assigned her to serve as Senator of Kashyyyk in the New Republuc.

She still misses swinging from the trees on Kashyyyk and hates the confines of the city, choosing to return home as much as possible. Her interpreter droid, C8-P0, is know as Cate and accompanies the Senator everywhere when she’s not on Kashyyyk.

Recently elected Chancellor of the New Republic, Territha is honored by the faith shown in her from her peers in the Senate. She is eagerly awaiting the start of the new term and has been preparing for her new duties during the off time.

Politics
Representative For: Kashyyyk, but recently elected Chancellor
Party: conservative
Personal Platform: Abolition of Blaster Control Laws, expansion of the New Republic Military and it's use in freeing other planets though out the Galaxy, more technology use.

It was during his second tour he lost his right eye, and despite living on, and representing, the planet that produces bacta, Vena refuses treatment, for reasons he will not state.

After he had completed his second tour, he became interested in politics, especially restrictions on gun crime, after his son was killed in a school shooting, and the expansion and upkeep of the New Republic Defense Force - whilst this is a view shared by few of his other Liberals, he knows a strong military is needed to support the NR. Vena was elected to the position of Senator of Thyferra two years ago, and has served this position faithfully since.

Name: Reldem Fald
Age: 83
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Reldem Fald is an elderly man often times needing the aid of a cane to walk around. His bright green eyes seem to shine out of his withered wrinkled face as he walks around and speaks, he was formerly tall but now has shrunken down gnarled wrinkled hands always gripping the cane that keeps him steady.
Personality: Reldem Fald is wise and knowledgeable, having played the political and economic game for many years. However one driving force forces his hand in any issue, the drive for profit.
Schooling: Eriadu school of commerce,
Bio:
Born into a powerful business family Reldem Fald was groomed to be in the finest society in the planet. He was sent to the best prep schools in addition to the finest tutors. He was raised as a brat, lots of money, fast speeders and total disrespect for authority.

This childhood went by quickly and with various accidents and problems, however Reldem always maintained good grades and powerful connections as he went to work for his uncle in one of the families many companies on Eriadu.

Four years of hard work and good success later Reldem entered the highly praised Eriadu school of commerce, with a mix of glowing recommendations, good grades and the offer to buy the school a new building upon graduation. Reldem entered the school a bratty talented individual who cared not for anything.

When he entered the school began its rigorous training on him and his class, no time for socializing was allowed in the four years of school With a 90% drop out rate the few that came out were literally business machines. For four years they had been forced to think about only money, when they worked out, when they showered, when they slept they only thought about credits and how to earn them. And as every class before that, when they graduated they were unable to stop, it continued into their lives, making them incredible businessman but partially insane in a way.

Reldem formed a corporation with some money from his father as a graduation gift and Galactica Corporation flourished under his guiding hand. Soon one of the richest men in Eriadu by his own right, Reldem turned his eyes to politics running for senator, as his business was now in the capable hands of his children he felt the need to aid them slightly through these means.

He was elected in a close vote at the age of 53 and has served with distinction since then.


Politics
Representative For: Eriadu
Party: Conservative
Personal Platform: Reldem supports the lessening tax's upon big business, more political freedom and less government involvement upon big business, the lessening of personal freedoms of the average citizen, the handing over the personal problems of many planets for big business to handle.

Name: Uudnil Sark
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Species: Half-Fondorian(Mother), Half-Human(Father)
Appearance: He is taller than average and noticeably thin, his head his shaved bald. He carries himself with a regal flair even though he has no royal background. His eyes are a light green and his clothes are usually expensively tailored Fondorion formal wear.
Personality: Arrogant, greedy, and self-serving. However, the presence of his wife has a calming effect on him, as his personality becomes far less abrasive and sometimes even kind.
Schooling: Fondor Academy of Engineering and Design, Chandrilan Academy of Sciences, Mrlsst Academy School of Law
Bio: Born to a wealthy Imperial captain and an equally wealthy Fondorian scientist, Uudnil was raised as a true member of Imperial elite. He was given the best education money can buy and his mother instilled in him the ideals and eccentricities of Fondorian culture while his father was helping the Empire. He was fourteen when the battle of Yavin occured, and his father was killed in a battle not long after. For the longest time he hated the Rebel Alliance and instead turned his anger towards his studies. Being Half-Fondorian, he was always extremely bright and this only helped him in his school work. He graduated from his private academy well before any other students. This time did, however, provide him with a love for politics. Knowing full well that no Fondorian could last in politics without knowing the intricacies of the Fondorian Shipyards, Scientists, and of Fondorian Law, he set out to provide himself with the necessary education. Being wealthy, it was not difficult for him to amass the credits needed to visit such presitigious academies as he did, gaining five degrees in just 15 years; one in Engineering, one in Space Sciences, and a Doctorate in Law.

It was during his years at the Mrlsst Academy of Law that he met and fell in love with a young Lethan Twi'lek scientist named Caal'zula. She had escaped enslavement from Imperial sympathizers when she was ten years old. The love that she returned to Uudnil changed him as being with this 'alien' was the closest he'd been to happiness in years. His ideals began to shift away from wanting to bring back the Empire to trying to find a balance between Imperial law and New Republic law. As such, he became increasingly adamant in ambassadorial missions to the Imperial Remnant. He began to gain a vission of the galaxy uniting in the happiness he had found.

Returning to his homeworld with a bride in tow, he spent several years in local politics, gaining popularity for his ability to deal with the public as well as his commitment to the shipyards. He has recently been elected to become Fondor's representative in the Galactic Senate. His wife is expecting their first child.

Many find his arrogance intimidating, however many cite that arrogance as the reason he does so well with the public. And while love changed his want to bring back the Empire, it has not quelled his desire for more wealth.

Politics
Representative For: Fondor
Party: Moderate Liberal
Personal Platform: Admittance of the Imperial Remnant into the New Republic, Increased military spending in Fondorian Shipyards, Increased spending in sciences and academics

About:
Name: Azervado Renning
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Fair caucasion skin and dark brown hair, aqua tinted eyes. wears white silk formal shirt, fine black pants and a deep blue shimmersilk cape(personal flair)
Personality: Charismatic and charming, yet stern and unbending when needed.
Schooling: Anaxes School of Law(scholarship)

Bio: Azervado never knew his parents as they had been killed when an airspeeder flown by a drunk slammed into the ground killing his mother instantly and his father died due to his injuries. The then infant Azervado however survived through some fortunate turn of events, the speeder had just missed his hoverstroller when it happened. After being checked out he was given over to the nearest orphanage. His years there passed without to much event and he worked hard on his education and when he was eighteen and had to leave he got a job at a resterant waiting tables while he applied for various schools, although he knew he couldn't pay for most of them.

He was very glad when he recieved a letter from the prestigeous Anaxes School of Law accepting him with a full scholarship do to his excellent grades. Unfortunately during his years there he was often mocked and teased by the wealthier students about his inability to pay and that he was here on scholarship. Not all were like this though but it still made life pretty unbearable. After graduating Azervado got a job as a lawyer and saved some money up over a few years. It was when he saw in the news the notice of the mid term elections that he made a risky desicion, he risked his entire savings and entered the campaign for the senatorial seat. In the end it came down to a close endgame between him and Kira Sarken. She had actually been one of his few friends from the law school and they still were even during the election although they pulled no punches so to speak.

In the end Azervado won by a hair, with 52 percent opposed to Kira's 48 percent. After the results were announced Azervado and Kira shook hands before the many and various speeches. And so Azervado departed his homeworld for Coruscant.

GM- The Liberal party would like some more people, as it seems we're at a 9-2 differential right now. If you're still trying to figure out which part to play for, we'd make a great choice. We have cookies, and welfare!

About:
Name: Xenil Khilari
Age: 64
Gender: Male
Species: Khil
Appearance: General Appearance, slightly shorter than 2 meters tall, slightly muscular and apparently in health.
Personality: Studious, often soft spoken, diplomatic and open in nature, somewhat tenacious and occasionally over-confident.
Schooling: Shey Tapani University, Corulag University of Economics, Corulag Military Academy, Carida Military Academy.
Bio: Born on Belnar to a lower-middle class family, Xenil was quick to buy into the Khil cultural drive that called for hard work and excellence in every field. Feeling the pressure of raising his family out of obscurity, Xenil was filled with a ambitious and motivated drive for excellence, and was quick to advance through local schooling. Taking notice of his studious and dedicated nature, the Shey Tapani University approached the young intellect with the hopes of recruiting. After initially denying the University with the hopes of better offers, Xenil was met with a cold shoulder from many other prestigious universities, leading him to turn back to his original offer.

Attending Shey Tapani, Xenil earned a degree in Republic Law, and soon opened doors into other opportunities. Working as a young lawyer Xenil found himself defending the economic practices of the Seinar Fleet Systems Corporation on Corulag. His tenacity in research and quick understanding of economics earned him recognition from a professor at the Corulag University of Economics, who pushed for his recruitment. Xenil, seeing a chance for further progression, left his employer and attended the school, swiftly earning a Doctorate in Economics midway through the Clone Wars. Seeing a possible career as an officer leading to futher possibilities in progress, Xenil applied to the Corulag Military Academy, and upon acceptance began studies in Military Tactics and Appropriations. Before completing his studies the Clone Wars ended, and the Empire formed. Finally, Xenil attended the Imperial Academy on Carida, achieving an advanced degree in Engineering.

Considering his multitude of degrees and level of education, Xenil was confident of his position within the New Order. His confidence was met with the most disappointing of circumstances, as the Empire grew in it's anti-alien approach to rule. Xenil soon found himself as an officer and overseer in Military Appropriations and Supplies, and was never to see the front lines or any expansive command during his time with the Empire. His disappointment with the lack of progress and equality quickly turned into hatred and anger after the destruction of Alderaan, and the Rebel victory at Yavin. Silently and subtly, Xenil assembled a unit of rebels within his own command, and within the year defected to the Rebel Alliance, bringing with him myriads of Imperial weapons and funds in the process.

Xenil continued his work with the Rebel Alliance, participating at the battles of Hoth and Endor, and later against the forces of Thrawn and the clone Emperor, finally retiring from his position as an Army General and returning to his home of Belnar to help establish a local university. Convinced through a strong push from his local populace, Xenil ran for his senate seat looking not only to better the lives of his own people, but of "Every galactic citizen, no matter what species, class, or creed. No matter what planet, movement or government."

GM APPROVE-ED

The Sheet

About:
Name: Tarim Kundar
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Tarim is about 5’ 11”, thinly built though clearly muscular. He has black hair cut short and a thin goatee. He dresses in nice, formal robes when in session and will generally were clothes more suited to his station in life when out of session.
Personality: Bright and friendly, but in the senate cool, calculating, and quick to tear people up. When he sets his mind on something, he pursues it relentlessly.
Schooling: He went to school all of his young years and went to several different colleges. He majored in law at University of Onderon.
Bio: Tarim was born and raised on Onderon, the son of a noble. His early years were rather uneventful, though he was an extremely persuasive youth. As he grew older, Tarim decided politics was his calling. Tarim was always an extremely intelligent child. He graduated from schooling very early, and had a degree in law by the time he was eighteen. He then went into local leadership positions. He was so well received, that he soon became voted into office high up in the planet-wide government. When election time for senators came about, his name was one of the first nominated and won by a landslide.

Tarim enjoys reading and gathering knowledge, and if he is not at the senate building, he is most likely found in his study. His vast store of knowledge aids him in his political campaign greatly, and he will research anything if it will give him an edge. To Tarim, this is all just a game that he is going to win, no matter what.

Politics
Representative For: Onderon
Party: Conservative
Personal Platform: Increased New Republic Military, efficient use of taxes, minimal New Republic interference in economy, believes firmly in capitalism—specifically citizens should be the main support for themselves and their fellow citizens

Sorry for the OOC, but I can change to liberal if you want and if it is permitted.

Does that mean no OOC at all in this thread? I just want to clarify.
