I have been thinking of making a senator to represent Onderon's interests, if its allowed. I guess you can list me in the roster too TAC.

I'm currently working on a Dathomiri political character, though I haven't decided on whether she'll be a Senator, or just an ambassador. This also plays into my rewrite of Dathomir, so it's sort of one of those things where I sort of have to figure out if Dathomir should be part of the Republic or generally how they'd sit in the galaxy in relation to other worlds.
Random thought, but are Senators representing just their planet, or the entire system that it's in? So would Nal Hutta/Nar Shaddaa or Orto Plutonia/Pantora get a senator for each planet/populated moon, or not?
[Purely example. I don't know the distance that the Republic extends.]
Wookieepedia said:It consisted of hundreds of senators who represented the many worlds of the galaxy....
I am going to create an older human named Count Bruce Kilij who would sit on the Republic Senate as a Senator for the planet Serenno.
Do I need to fill out an entire CS right now or can I secure Serenno with the promise of one to come once more details have been released?
Hey so I'm liking all the senator characters I'm seeing in here. Now I myself don't plan on making a senator, but I do plan on making a soldier in the border alliance. And since the Senate will most likely be calling the shots for the republic, I'd like to ask all y'all some basic questions about your characters.
First off, who will be making "Honest" politicians and who will be making "corrupt" politicians?
I feel like the Senate will be important for the overall health of the republic. It will decide if we grow as a faction or inevitably fall. If y'all get tangled up in pointless ramblin, then that don't give us soldiers no help at all. The BA will need support and I'm wondering who here will be willing to provide it?
I'm not in charge, this is just for convenience. I'll put you in the OP when im home tomorrow.
I mean that in the sense that I'm not writing him to be planet-specific. So he's not written in any way that he HAS to be from Alderaan, for example. I could have him be the senator of any planet and it'd work.
@Brandon Rhea
Well to be honest I've been doing the same thing.. focusing on an Alderaan Senator :|
This is awkward. Haha. Though if you really want it won't take it from you. Can always readjust to something else.
I think it ultimately boils down to the local governance. Systems that are effectively ruled by one government wouldn't need multiple representatives, while independant worlds would each select their own representatives for their government.
That said, in the interest of fairness in the RP, I probably imagine that we'd make it so that any Senator would only represent a single world, soas to not encourage players to represent particular worlds for the sake of having a disproportionate amount of influence in the Senate.

All three of my characters are going to be from the Kilij family and all three of them, including the youngest who is a Jedi, will be as corrupt as they come.
I'll have some pretty major setbacks with the Senate controlling the Border Alliance based on how it's presented as of now with what very little we know about it.
Outer Rim worlds pulling together will be like Greece unifying to fight the Persian Empire essentially.
The Senate isn't going to have any control over a force that is allied under those conditions and as such you're going to have a very diverse defense force from the Border Alliance.
For anyone to truly lead such a force would have to do so through loyalty. And as the staff plans for it to be a focus, whoever takes on that role will have to lead from the front lines of the battlefield, not from a chamber on Chandrila.
As I think you can have two characters in a main faction, then my Hutt senator would no doubt be interested @Rom.
