When the Galactic Alliance collapsed, Cressida Tolliver hoped she had seen the last of Senates and Senators, of horse-trading and committee markups, of Chancellors and the bizarre polite fictions one told oneself about power and authority. She thought that her appointment to be Foreign Minister...
Ravion had never been one for assigning time for laws. As the Magistrate it was more his job to ensure that other bills being presented to the senate were done fairly and with a critical eye, and there had for a moment been the temptation to get this presented through other channels before...
THE SENATE
"Madam Chancellor, esteemed colleagues," Verity began, economical in both words and movements as she stood straight in her pod, slowly orbiting the Chancellor's podium. "I rise this morning to formally introduce the Displaced Persons Relief and Resettlement Act. This bill is designed...

EN ROUTE TO THE SENATE BUILDING
1117 HOURS LOCAL TIME
BETWEEN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION & THE TRINITY AFFAIR
The speeder had collected Verity from the spaceport directly on time; Lucien Varencourt emerged from the back seat to greet his boss with a subtle bow of his head and a leatherbound...
The hours were evaporating, and Dominic walked as if he could outrun them.
Staffers orbited him in loose formation through the corridor. Datapads appeared in his hands, explanations trailing behind them. Most he skimmed for half a second before handing them back without breaking stride. Another...
THE HIGH REPUBLIC SENATE
THEED - NABOO
[VIBES? GLAD YOU ASKED]
Verity Stuyveris sat in her pod, waiting for the appointed time to speak. She used the few minutes of administration to fire off a quick holomail and then to check in on her office staff, who were preparing for the media blitz that...
THE SENATE
SENATOR SARN'S OFFICE
[MUSIC TO INTRIGUE TO? NOW I KNOW I'M IN FIRST CLASS]
Verity greeted Senator Sarn's staff with the easy charm that came with familiarity. Since her early days in the Senate, she had developed a fondness for Eharl Sarn, the Ithorian Senator for Enarc, when he had...
Senator Stuyveris' Chief of Staff had called ahead to Senator Yittreas' office seeking a brief drop-in. Not an appointment, necessarily. Nothing that would have to appear on the books. Nothing that would link the two Senators. For good measure she brought a small ceramic pot with a small plant...
Fearing an invasion by the Sith Covenant, the government of Alderaan sent a delegation of ambassadors to Naboo with an earnest request: let Alderaan join the High Republic as a member world. Chancellor Dominique Vexx has already agreed to station Republic military forces in the Alderaan system...
THE HIGH ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC SENATE
THEED - NABOO
Verity had arrived to her Senate office early, as requested by her Chief of Staff, to make one last-ditch attempt to convince her to slow her pace. "Senator, your speech at the DPI was generally well-received by the Druckenwell press...
DRUCKENWELL – Senator Verity Stuyveris laid out an ambitious and frank policy shift today in her keynote address to the Druckenwell Policy Institute, where some observers classified her remarks as critical of High Republic inaction in the Core in the wake of the Galactic Alliance and the...
Naboo, Senatorial Meeting Chamber, Off-Hours
Gram Arranda - Open to THR
The High Republic Senate was not in session today. This meeting couldn't happen if it was— after all Liana had no real political power here. She was only a junior diplomat, a figurehead at best. She could not call the Senate...
The sun over Theed was aggressively bright, much to the irritation of the recently elevated Senator Yittreas, as he ascended the grand staircase of the Republic Senate Building. A modest individual in both attire and manner of speaking, the most notable characteristic of the new legislator was...

HIGH ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC SENATE
SENATE CHAMBER
Verity Stuyveris reviewed the legislation, her stomach twisting anxiously as her eyes scanned each line. Her legislative director had reviewed it extensively, and of course Verity had kept up with it as they drafted the text of the bill over...
