Faction [GA Senate] State of the Alliance

[Kaela Verrin]

Kaela rose again, her voice steady but direct.

"I appreciate the Chancellor's words, and I do not dispute the need for caution. I share that instinct. But I also believe that caution and initiative are not mutually exclusive."

She looked toward the Sacorrian pod.

"Senator Stalwart offered something that I believe is worth acknowledging. He did not merely express support. He volunteered himself to serve as an envoy. That kind of offer is not made lightly, and it speaks to the kind of commitment this Senate has been asking for."

Kaela shifted her stance slightly, her tone not pressing, but resolute.

"If we are to take the Chancellor's suggestion seriously, to observe and engage carefully without overstretching ourselves, then perhaps Senator Stalwart is already the answer we are looking for. He has experience, the will to act, and a personal stake in ensuring we do not repeat past mistakes."

She paused, allowing her words to settle before she continued.

"This does not mean rushing into partnership or pretending the past has not left scars. It means being willing to test the waters when an opportunity is offered. It means not waiting for perfect clarity before we take even the smallest step."

Kaela inclined her head. "I support Senator Stalwart's offer and recommend that we consider formalizing his role as our first observer under the Sundari Accords. Let us not waste what initiative has already been offered." With that, she was ready to move on to the next subject of this meeting.

The Sith Order and their imminent attack on Endor.

"Well said, Senator Verrin", Tiber said, appreciated the Senator of Anaxes succinct statements. The nature of the Sundari Accords was what it was, and he wasn't going to debate them any further.

"If I may pivot", the Nehali Senator began, "I believe the Sith advance on Endor was part of the discussion. If possible, I would appreciate any representative of the GADF and the SIA brief us- that is, to tell us what's the situation on the ground, the strategic imperative of taking Endor, forces that you believe the Sith have amassed towards taking the planet, and any other insights you believe would be good for this body to be apprised of."

Tiber turned to Kahlil Noble .

"Master Jedi, could you also give us your on the situation, as well as this Blackwall? Has the Order received any insights on breaking it?"

"I support Senator Stalwart's offer and recommend that we consider formalizing his role as our first observer under the Sundari Accords. Let us not waste what initiative has already been offered."

The Chancellor nodded simply at Kaela. "Noted, Senator." Alicio sent a subtle message to one of his aides, prompting the man to begin drafting the official request for Senator Stalwart. He had certainly planned to do so regardless, appointing a representative was a decision he could make alone, but he appreciated having more consensus among the Senate.

On the topic of Endor... Alicio figured he should give them all some context. "As we transition to our next point of discussion, I wish to bring our attention to a few items."

"You have each recieved a report on your terminals. You'll notice it is... distressingly short." He frowned. "As we learn more, we will call a meeting to engage in more specific discussion with the Defense Force and Committee, but for now, this is what we know."

"Alliance Intelligence was able to intercept fragmented transmissions from beyond the Blackwall. This prompted an investigation of the Sith Order's fleet movements, and our analysts believe all signs point towards the forest moon of Endor." A moment at his terminal, and a massive projection of the planet lit up the center of the room. It was an unassuming body, covered in coniferous forest, lush with life. "This is... significant, as we believe it signals a change in our Enemy's doctrine since instating the Blackwall. Endor would be a valuable first target in a prolonged campaign against the Alliance. It's a supply point for many worlds in the galactic south, and it's loss would leave them vulnerable."

"It doesn't take a genius."

"The GADF is already mobilized, and I have already paused the Pathfinding Initiative to allow them their full faculties. We have to decide here how much further we need to go." Such as Senator Parthi's movement to close their borders completely.

"Master Jedi, could you also give us your on the situation, as well as this Blackwall? Has the Order received any insights on breaking it?"

Alicio let his eyes drift to Master Noble and his Padawan, a question in his eye. He was curious, too.

 

[Velyra Vonn]

Senator Velyra Vonn of Zeltros​

She rose with the same calm that followed a storm—poised, unfazed, and perhaps already a step ahead.

“I was saddened to hear Endor was in the sights of our enemies. A moon so quiet, so green, so terribly taken for granted. It is a historic site that must be preserved, and protected. Not just for our borders, but for its denizens and nature.”

Her voice was low, warm. Never rushed.

A place that reminded them what peace can feel like after conflict, if only for a moment.

“And so, upon reading the defense briefing, I made a request; not to this body, but to the people. The Zeltros philanthropic committee hosted a series of fundraisers, galas, auctions to do what we can to preserve the natural beauty of Endor should conflict ignite.

She gestured, and a holoprojection shimmered into view—sleek, radiant, resolute in orbit.

“I am pleased to report that construction of the EOS-1 Aegis of Endor is complete. Not a weapon for conquest, A shield to hold the line, and protect the the moon itself as well as the alliance.”

Her gaze moved across the room, carrying just enough pride to be honest.

She had merely placed the stars where others would look up and find them already shining.

“This is not a solution, but it is a start. And all things, darling Senators, must start somewhere.”

Her pod returned, neatly within the time allotted for the announcement, not a second too late or too soon.

[Thexann Pehnataur]

.

When he was recognized, Thexann quietly pulled forward.

Chancellor. Senators. I will not waste your time with flourish — we have enough of that already. Heh, mostly from me. [/COLOR] He laughed himself and let anyone else who wanted to do so.

We’ve heard much about trust, caution, history — and the Mandalorians. Here is the truth as I see it:

The Mandalorians are not our friends. They are not yet our enemies. They are a question mark with a history of answering that question at gunpoint. These Accords do not change that — they give us eyes on the ground, ears in the room, and nothing more. That is their worth. No illusions, no promises.

If Senator Stalwart wants to stand in that doorway as our observer, then let him. Better we see for ourselves than guess at the next raid or power shift. But let us not mistake a scout for a handshake. And let us not pay for it with coin or concessions until we see real proof from Verd and his people.

Senator Parthi is right about one thing: a Mand’alor’s word is not law to every would-be Crusader. But sealing our borders so tight we blind our own patrols is not security — it’s wishful thinking. Watch the borders. Reinforce them. But keep lanes open enough to see threats coming before they reach our walls.

Chancellor Organa — you have my respect for not rushing this. Use the Accords as they are: a watchtower, not a welcome mat.

Senator Verrin, I hear your call for initiative. Initiative is a soldier’s bread and butter. But I say this: initiative without discipline is just reckless hope. If we step forward, we do so with our eyes wide open, not our hands wide open.

Now, Endor.

Senator Septimus is right — the Sith are the threat that must hold our full attention. Endor falling does not mean one lost moon — it means open lanes into our supply corridors and worlds soft enough for the Sith to chew through while we argue here.

Senator Velrya has done more in a day than some do in a decade. A shield in orbit — real protection. That is what our people expect when they hear the word ‘Alliance’. I commend it.

So this is where I stand:

— Let Stalwart observe. Watch Verd’s empire for cracks or promises kept.
— Hold our borders firm, but smart. Eyes open beats doors shut.
— Every spare resource beyond that goes to Endor, the Blackwall, and the Sith who would see us buried.

I am no diplomat. I am no statesman. I am a soldier. And when the time comes to trade words for steel, let us be sure our troops are ready to finish what our words begin.

Thank you.

Thexann then stepped back as his pod pulled out of position— no further argument, no flourish, just the plain weight of a man who’s been where the decisions land hardest.
