As the conversation drove on, York buries his head into his palms. This agenda item, this conversation...it reeked of desperation. And If the Sith treated war the way York treated business, desperation was an invitation for a hostile takeover. Some may see this defense pact or alliance as a sign...

Casinos were a tremendous revenue stream under the right circumstances. The heaviest volumes, of course, would occur where you had very, very wealthy patrons who where there not because they had a gambling problem, but because they had extra credits or crowns to blow and they saw high rolling as...

As the Secretary of the Treasury of the ISC, an opinion on this matter was likely expected. York nodded slowly, his fingers steepled in deep thought as he listened to his ISC brethren. They had laid out the excellent points, and York intended to drive them home. Slowly, he stood and approached...

York was there, mostly overlooked because he didn't make one of the grand entrances he was known for. In fact, he wanted to fly under the radar. He was sunk into his chair in his pod, one leg flopped over the other, his arms crossed with a hand covering his mouth and chin. Every so often, one of...

Life for Soygun York had changed dramatically in recent years. Not long ago, he was busy hiring crime syndicates to plant evidence so he could clear his name of charges. He had been seen as a loud-mouth rookie Senator in the FWA, stirring touble just to stir trouble. But today...well, today he...

"Governor, I'm honestly very curious. Kattada is located well-within Republic space. You must have had some compelling reason to convince your people to join the ISC," Senator Belasi asked. It was a fair question, and anyone who had watched the news those years back would know the...

"I must confess your offer intrigues me, and makes me nervous all at once. Tell me, Governor York, who exactly is this man you can put me in contact with. And why would he give a Rodian's green ass about what happens to us here on Balmorra?" Ro asked him. It was a fair question, but one that...

One large positive of having President Thorne in attendance was that there was a bigger ass in the room to kiss than his own. York smiled behind his glass thinking about that...that was certainly true in a number of ways. It allowed York to simply pretend to be interested in other people's...

"However, I am afraid that Governor York is correct," Senator Belasi said. "No matter the course of action, the solution is going to be both time-consuming and expensive. Regardless, I am sure Belasco could find a way to assist." Soygun nodded. She got it. This was going to be an very expensive...

When Senator Belasi eased her way into the conversation, York's brow lifted. A consummate politician, he still had an eye for pretty views, especially when the views were female. She greeted him as Governor, and York nodded giving the smallest bow to with it. "Senator, the pleasure is mine." He...

Well, he would be damned. They were going to jump straight to talking business. That being the case, Secretary York had no trouble waltzing over and inserting himself into the conversation. He listened carefully, sipping his whiskey as he heard the questions and answers. He would nod...

Once President Thorne started talking with the host, York felt it was the prefect opportunity to cut in line. After all, he could play the whole "he was with the President" card. As he approached, he heard Thorne say, "This is Soygun York. A man that was once my rival in the Free World Alliance...

The Secretary of the Treasury of the ISC wondered if the galactic masses would get tired of his face at some point. Another gala with the press meant more photos of him floating around the Holos. But, this was part of the job. Retaining worlds already in the ISC and recruiting new ones meant...

If it was drama that the fine senator from Balmorra was looking for, he got it when a luxury enclosed speeder with dark security glass stopped in front of the hotel, a chauffeur stepped out to open the back door, and the Secretary of the Treasury from the ISC started walking to the party...

York made it a point to be seen these days. As the FWA and New Republic were floundering about trying to catch up to the ISC from a PR perspective, it made sense for ranking officials such as York to be seen and address the media to keep the heat on the FWA and New Republic while promoting the...
