She breathed a sigh of relief as the door opened to their hidden meeting place, and her handmaiden entered. As they had agreed many months ago, after a certain period passed in which the Queen was in a private meeting, she was to be interrupted on 'urgent business'. It was a policy as simple as...

"Forgive me, Sir -" she replied as the diplomat brought his somewhat zealous remarks to a conclusion "I am unsure as to how you can claim that 'those of the force' will never have a true stake in the Consortium, and allege that they shall in the Sith Empire." the Queen was genuinely somewhat...

To say the direction of this conversation unsettled her would be an understatement. Max was a direct individual, who cut directly to the chase as she had hoped, but his words alarmed her. He spoke with the passion of a zealot, a man born into the Empire and raised on its teachings. It was bold...

She was pretty unsure of what to make of this 'DIplomat'. As he made his introductions, she was caught by the admission of his commanding officer, the person she was meant to meet, having been 'taken ill'. She neither knew nor cared whether this was some odd manner of 'Sith-speak', a coding...

"You still haven't found out why the Sith Empire wanted to meet?" the Queen enquired as her diplomatic advisor looked sheepishly at his datapad as if busying himself to try and find an answer. She had asked for the meeting records to be suppressed, unsure about the nature of the Sith visit, and...

Gifts! she knew there was something she had forgotten. Making a subtle movement of the fingers on her right hand, the Queen signalled for the attention of one of her handmaidens, who discreetly approached. "Gifts?" she whispered, so only her handmaiden could hear. Relieved to hear that the...

Naboo voted aye.

Once again, the debate of the Senate shifted from the core of the matters at hand to procedural commentary regarding the 'balance of power'. Sandé had little interest in ensuring lower-contributing worlds to the combined vaccination efforts were satiated in this matter and desired a practical...

"So, what information do we have on these two?" the Queen asked as one of her handmaidens did battle with a particularly exotic-looking headdress. She had never been to Trandosha (truth be told, she had never wanted to go) nor had occasion to interact with the Senator for that world. "Senator...

Waiting for the Vice-President to conclude his statement and the Wookiee to do likewise, the Queen finally rose and activated her podium. Then, looking around at the somewhat intimidating gathering, she took a deep breath and presented her argument to the Senate. "How will we be remembered by...

The Queen had to admit to being somewhat lost in this debate. Yet again, the topic of the ongoing, intergenerational feuds between the Jedi and the Sith was being aired in the Senate and absorbing much more of the galactic communities' time. "In keeping with our membership of the Consortium...

She had never intended her attendance at the Galactic Senate to become frequent. Yet, as she walked in and assumed her place in the Naboo delegation pod within the Consortium's 'seats', Sandé felt a sinking feeling that these tedious meetings would rapidly become a fixture in her life. Nobody...

Sandé had kept herself to herself since the commencement of the extraordinary meeting, preferring to watch the great men and women of state get their initial posturing out of the way before she proffered her own views. Since the withdrawal of her brother from public life, for reasons he had yet...

"As a citizen of this world, you are welcome here no matter the circumstances." the Queen reminded her gently. She wasn't wrong, there was nothing, legally, she could do to prevent her from entering the Naboo airspace, she was a Naboo, this was her home. She was dubious as to the reasons why the...

The Nabierre, the Royal Starship of the Naboo, darted out of hyperspace, running a little late for the meeting. It touched down with haste, the Queen and a small retinue of handmaidens, departing the vessel and heading directly for the meeting room. She joined just as Nicolas, a member of the...

She had to suppress a smile as Celesté approached. Being a member of the famous Nabierre Family, the Queen felt a little bit star-struck to actually be meeting her! Gently, she indicated that Celesté should stand, and inclined her head as best as her large hairpiece would allow "Lady Nabierre -"...

"Governor," she nodded as the Indupar representative and fellow Consortium leader entered the meeting room, alongside the other representative, from the Sith Empire. She had to admit, it felt somewhat strange to be entering into bargains with the Sith, after their history, but, different times...

Across the Outer Rim, huge swathes of entire worlds have fallen behind the mind-rim and core thanks to corruption and the degradation of infrastructure on these worlds. It has made the development of these planets near impossible, and so a large investment must be made to bring some of these...

"Sometimes there are things that no one can fix." ~ Padmé Amidala The pace of change always moved quickly. It was something she had known since she was a child, but seeing it happen in person was quite different. The Jedi, effectively exiled from New Republic Space, the Sith Empire still...

"Do not worry, war is not my objective." the Queen replied, hopefully putting Askas mind at rest on that point. "It is hard to deny that the galaxy stands at a crossroads. We have the New Republic, set to elect a new Chancellor, the Free World Alliance in a state of near-collapse, the Syndicates...
