Games SWC Senate: Restoring Peace, Prosperity and Equality to the Galaxy

Inquisitors? You mean those who were employed by the Empire to hunt down Jedi? No. That has the potential to go sideways on us. The resistance would never allow an Inquisitor close. Don't forget that the Generals brother is a Jedi. And the first order could potentially manipulate them to their side. Is there not a better way to obtain information?

 

Just because a method has gone sideways in the past does not mean it cannot be employed again with some tweaks, Senator Silent. And General Organa's brother is not in the picture anymore, hasn't been for some time. He is not relevant as I see it.

 

I don't agree with it. There is always a better way Senator Snokers.

 

I respect your position on this matter, Senator. However, let us not forget that the Empire managed to seize control for a long time, possibly in-part because of fear of the use of... more aggressive tactics.

 

I concur with Senator Sinrebirth's latter statement.

*sits*

 

OOC: Sinrebirth I believe that the First Order was indeed known at the time in which our thread takes place, though it wasn't seriously considered as a threat by most, which is basically how we've been handling it here so far. Below is a Wookipedia excerpt:

​

"For the three decades after Endor, the First Order would largely escape galactic attention, with many in the New Republic Senate believing that it posed no real threat to the galaxy at large. Echoing these sentiments, Chancellor Lanever Villecham argued there was no need for concern as long as the First Order adhered to the dictates of the Galactic Concordance. Despite this, the Order blatantly defied the accords by ushering in the mass mobilization of superior stormtrooper forces, along with violating Republic bans on the sale of weaponry to the First Order and its rules governing capital ships. Testing the resolve of the New Republic, small skirmishes would occasionally erupt between the First Order and Republic, all while the Starkiller operation would seek a suitable planet for implementation."​

​

 

OOC: I agree with downplaying the First Order for now. Then as the game continues we as a Senate can learn more and more about them as time goes on.

 

And the Empire was also hated because of those tactics. It didn't do them any good in the long run.

OOC: Sounds fair. I assume that will be the same for the Resistance. We learn more about them as time goes on?

 

OOC: Agreed, though I think perhaps a few members "overestimating" the mysterious First Order as a threat wouldn't be out of order (no pun intended ). I'm sure there's plenty of other renegade factions we can also discuss.

 

OOC: What about Onderon?

 

*hears Senator Silent's statement but remains seated, muttering under his breath in Durese while stroking his chin "rana!"*

 

If there is a First Order, we need to wipe them out before they become too powerful. The Empire has left a mark on the galaxy that cannot be wiped off. There are systems that will never recover from the atrocities performed by the Empire. It is our duty to beat back whatever force threatens to bring back such tyranny.

 

Senator KnightOfRen while I do agree that any remnants of the old Empire should not be cast off as irrelevant or taken lightly, I must dutifully point out the fact that the signing of the Galactic Concordance following the Battle of Jakku greatly reduced such remnants as a threat.

 

Fair enough. Give them time, though. Time to lick their wounds. They will strike back, and we must be prepared. I say we march onto their turf and wipe them out immediately!

 

I believe we should be ever wary. To underestimate any remnants could be dangerous. That said we must be equally wary of any war mongering elements. We must not rush to conclusion Senators. Let us keep an eye out for such dangers, without looking to be overly drastic about it.

And with that perhaps we ought to move onto something of more immediate purpose. Such as taxation and budgeting that affect all our systems in the present.

 

Perhaps we could even put forth an education plan? There are many planets that fall under our jurisdiction that we could help with it.
