Onderon. It was a jungle planet, but it had a temperate climate and vast blue oceans that reminded her somewhat of home. She wasn’t here to sight-see the planet’s natural beauty though; yet another session of the Galactic Senate was about to begin.
The Senate building was located in the planet’s capital of Iziz, a city known both for its fortified walls and the massive Unifar temple, which was home to the planet’s royal family. The building of interest to the Belascan native was located in the heart of Iziz, not far from said temple. It blended in more with the surrounding buildings. As Korre entered the building and set her blue eyes upon the interior, it became clear why the outside of the building appeared so diminutive compared to other senate houses.
Once senators, representatives, and governors from the various galactic governments passed through security (scanning for weapons, illegal items, etc. as well as screening for AMS), they would also be able to see the massive staircase which led straight down into a much larger complex. The level in which the stairs led was clean, modern, and furnished to resemble that of a spacious lounge. Three sets of doors led into the senate chambers, so Korre disregarded the furnished area to head straight to the location of that night’s events.
Similar to other chambers, Onderon’s chambers sat representatives in moveable pods which could extend out and allow their occupants to address the room. The room itself had a half circle shape to it, with the majority of seats curving out and upwards from a middle point on one side. Three pods were located higher up on the opposite wall, and the Speaker’s podium was located just beneath them. A skylight let daylight flood the room with natural light, though the room itself was still lit by various, semi-hidden lights.
Korre exited through a side door and took a small set of stairs up to the three pods and re-entered the room to take a seat in one of them. She was the first of the leaders to arrive so far. The Free Worlds Prime Minister always seemed to err on the far side of caution when it came to arriving on time. She was quite early.
Would you like me to grab you a glass of water? Korre looked down at her watch to see a message from her assistant Florin pop up on the digital screen. A pale finger lifted to tap a reply in the affirmative, but she paused at the last second when she recalled the events of the last Senate session. Water had caused a bit of an embarrassing incident for the New Republic Chancellor.
I’ll be fine without it. Thanks though. The woman sent the reply and settled into her chair, using her hands to smooth down the fabric of her pants and jacket as she did so. The Belascan native had come with her ginger hair pulled back into a braided bun and she wore only her digital watch and a simple pair of pearl earrings. She knew some amount of attention would be on her because this was her first Galactic Senate where she would be sitting in the Prime Minister's seat. Korre was going for put-together, smart, classy… just not glamorous, and just not flashy.
As she waited for people to file in and for the session to begin, the events of the recent FWA senate and her recent meeting with the grandmaster of the Jedi began to replay in her mind. Her blue eyes scanned the agenda as she did so, noting the item put forward by the Jedi grandmaster which might touch upon that.
Tonight would be interesting.
