Brandenburg, Genon
It was a brilliantly white office. The smooth contours of the room and furniture combined with Alderaanian moss paintings and a House of Thorn banner indicated that it was Pro-Consul Thorn’s office. She flashed a brief smile for the holo-cam.
“Good evening ladies, gentlemen, and other beings, I am Pro-Consul Thorn, representing Kashan on the Contegorian Council.”
Her tone became more somber.
“I am before you all today to inform you, the beings of the galaxy, that the Contegorian Confederation is no longer a part of the New Galactic Coalition. It has seceded by a motion introduced by Councilor Harding of Audacia, unanimously approved by the Council, and passed by the legislative branches of all member planets within the Confederation.
This decision was not an easy one for any of us. Citizens of the Confederation have fought and died in the name of the Coalition, and peoples of the Coalition have fought on the behalf of the Confederation. It is, however, a necessary one. While many of our goals are still in-line with those of the Coalition, there are key disagreements between our philosophies and methods of going about to those goals.
While like the Coalition, we would protect our people, our property, and our civil liberties, we do not believe these are best secured by using the military unless no other option is feasible. Regrettably, there will be times in which the use of force is necessitated. And this we would like to prevent if at possible because of the costs of lives of not only our own citizens, but those of our would-be adversaries. We revere life, not destruction. In this we are not fully in line with the Coalition’s line of thought or that of its esteemed Prime Minister.
Secondly, we are in disagreement with the Prime Minister’s decision to allow the Empire to build an embassy on Metalorn. This is a matter of principle. The citizens of the Confederation and especially Metalorn should have a right to say and vote on the said parameters of such an establishment. To this end, the construction of such a facility will not occur until plans have been smoothed by the Imperial and Confederate governments and approved by the citizens of Metalorn. We at the Council also believe that if the embassy’s position is to help strengthen relations between the Empire and the Coalition, placing such an embassy on a third party world makes little sense. We respectfully request that the Empire and Coalition consider a new site for its location…”
