Victoria's life couldn't have been any busier with the ISC making big waves in her backyard, and the Sith reeling from the losses. The FWA had come under attack from the most unlikely of places, the NR's 5th fleet under the direction of the Supreme Chancellor. This was a complete shock as she'd expected the Republic's sentiment to at least be neutral, if not favorable to the alliance considering the circumstances of a wider galactic war.
She still clung to hope that the new prospective allies she had made within their halls might prevail but made a mental note to reach out to them when they were available. In the meantime, she had to find a way to manage the internal politics of the FWA, which was under a direct threat from at least two fronts. Onderon had come under attack by the Sith in the past and it was likely to be in the firing line again sometime, while work had been done to prepare for their return, Victoria sought some more assurances of this case.
Fortunately, she had already met Princess Reyna and they were on good terms as far as the senator was concerned. Victoria would start by holo-calling the princess, although if any other alliance senator was available, they'd also be let in on the call. She'd hope Aezz might pop in at some point, but for starters, they'd discuss Onderon's concerns.
"Princess Reyna, thank you for taking my call. I hope the recent news hasn't been too distressing. I was hoping to speak with the King but I hear he's been terribly busy trying to ....beat his PR in the gym?...uh either way I'm happy to reach you."
After a few pleasantries, they'd have to get to the meat of the conversation quite quickly. "What little forces we can spare in the South will be sent your way to assist while the Sith are disorganized here, but we will need to cover a few bases. Firstly, I need to know what can be done to protect Onderon and its people in case you become targeted by either the Chancellor's fleet or the Sith. Secondly, how can we help?"
Victoria could handle the political side of things, working with elements in the NR and reaching out to the ISC for help if it came to that, but the FWA would need to at least attempt to patrol its space even against the massive fleets the NR or Sith could field compared to their own. She could only hope they wouldn't be lost in the process.
