This thread is only open to anyone who is a member of, or is associated with, the Galactic Senate (New Republic, FWA, ISC, Jedi council).
Chandrila. Rolling hills, calm seas… it was a beautiful planet with a rich history. Its capital, Hanna City, was also the location of today’s assembly of the Galactic Senate.
Security had been ramped up as representatives from each nation--the New Republic, the Free Words Alliance, and the Independent Systems Consortium--made their ways to the Senate building. Some had arrived a week’s time in advance to prepare their speeches and gather themselves, while others were just now entering Chandrila’s atmosphere. Even representatives of the Jedi Order had been spotted, making their way to the Senate building through growing crowds of reporters. Security was posted at several points, maintaining distance between the arriving representatives and the curious citizens of Chandrila. More were stationed just inside the building, helping to conduct health screenings for any who enter and making sure no weapons were being brought into the House.
Korre, FWA representative for Belasco, had been on Chandrila for only two days. Most of her time had been spent prepping her proposal and trying not to be too nervous about speaking in front of such a large audience. One hundred people would hear her voice, herself included, alongside the billions and billions of citizens of the galaxy through the cameras which would livestream the assembly. She would be the voice of her people, and a voice for the FWA. But she had no more time to dwell on that; the assembly would begin soon enough.
The Chandrilian Senate Chamber was modeled after the one on Coruscant, though much smaller as it only needed to house a hundred or so pods. It was a semicircle with sections dedicated to members of each representative group, and had ten seats for ambassadors of the Jedi Order, thirty for the New Republic senators, thirty for the ISC governors, and thirty for delegates of the FWA. The semicircle is centered around a raised platform with separated pods for the leaders of each representative group. There existed a few additional pods at the bottom that could be brought into use should someone not specifically involved with any political group be brought in to speak.
Korre made her way to the chamber, passing by a man prepping one of the cameras that would soon be used to livestream the assembly. Datapad in hand, she ascended up into her assigned pod and joined the section of FWA delegates. Arriving representatives would have about half an hour before the start of the assembly.
