Dominique Vexx
High Republic Chancellor
Officially, the High Republic publicly called for the return of the Corellian Ambassador
Cynan Obaith
. An open pronouncement of the government's displeasure at his abduction following events on Corellia itself. And a demand that the Ambassador be promptly returned, unharmed. This came in the wake of a closed session of the High Republic Senate wherein Senators discussed how far and in what manner it was prepared to secure Obaith's return.At the time that declaration was made, the Republic had already assembled a force tasked with carrying out that mission. By force, if needs be.
Yet, all hope for diplomacy was not yet lost. Improbable as it might seem, and despite the fervor of language used, there was still a chance a struggle between life and death could be avoided. Some parties had sought to delay or deny any such effort even as they cried out about the cost of war, but their efforts could only extend so far. And so it was that the High Chancellor, Dominique Vexx, sent a signal in search of Supreme Commander
Marlon Sularen
.Dressed in her Denon-inspired white uniform, Dominique stood in wait for the signal to connect. Now was not the time to rest easy in a chair. Countless resources, personnel, and variables were changing every second and required considerable concentration to keep track of their progress. If this communique fell on deaf ears, or if it spiraled into something more than a 'misunderstanding,' there could be significant consequences.
Whether one called it war or police action, Dominique never wanted to use physical force. It was a necessity, at times, when all other options were closed off. Not an ideal. One she was completely ready to use just as she had as a DIrector of the Executive Board in the the Corporate Sector. But, perhaps, not one she would need to use today.
