Aliums and Alliance Politics

[Captain Untouchable]

We don't have many aliens in the Rebel Alliance on Fans; and yet it's the aliens that get shafted by the Empire more than anyone else. There are a whole bunch of people who are refugees and have evacuated to Alliance safeworlds like Sanctuary, New Alderaan, and Krinemonen. There are also races like the Quarren, Bith, Veknoids, Verpines, Mustafarians and so on who live in our territory.

We actually have quite a few planets, and there's quite a lot of potential political shitstorm going on at the moment; what with the attack on Sullust (the efforts to replace or relocate all the industrial stuff that got blown up; get chummy with the Cizerack and/or the Hutts for trade; etc), the liberation with Duro, the Dan Crisis, the possibility of increased Jedi involvement in the Alliance, possible alliances with Hapes and Onderon... etc.

However, the only "politicians" we have are the Advisory Council. They're not there to rule our fledgeling space republic: they exist to advise the Chief of Staff on "the war effort". That means there's a whole bunch of civilians out there who could potentially do with a voice. Some sort of parliament / senate / thing could be a cool way to not only tap in to some of those potential story opportunities, but could also provide a cool cross section of the racial diversity of the Alliance, and provides the opportunity for you to play a bonkers alien if you feel like it.

Would anyone mayhaps possibly be interested in this sort of thing in some way or another?

Edit:

Now with added list!

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

I've considered making a selonian before, but I've never figured a good reason to do it. I'll think about what I might be able to do there.

[Reshmar]

I am working on my Caamasi guy for Sanctuary as we discussed. Unless someone else will be representing Sanctuary.

[Maleen Tel'Var]

I have arrived. Peace be with us all.

I don't see a problem with any of the Advisory Council representatives doubling up if that sort of thing floats their boat. My two representatives definitely won't be doubling up: but that's because their "day job" is being a military person rather than a politician.

[Dasquian Belargic]

New Alderaan - An Alderaanian sanctuary world in the Ash Worlds, near the Calamari Sector. Representative: Celeste Starborn?

That works!

I don't see any others there that jump out at me as species I'd be intrigued by the idea of writing, personally. That's just me off course!

[Captain Untouchable]

I'll be editing peeps into the top post and taking the associated planets off the planets list thingy as and when.

A couple of bonus things to chat about in the meantime:

1. What do we call ourselves?
Are we the Alliance Senate, the Alliance Parliament, the "Allied Congress of Free Planets", etc? Are the members of our group Senators, Representatives, Members of Parliament, Ambassadors, etc?

2. What is the group's job?
Do we discuss, vote, veto? How do we relate to the Alliance Cabinet - are Cabinet Ministers also members of Parliament (like the UK), or are they a separate entity (like the US)? Do we have any input on "the war effort", or do we purely focus on economy/industry/politics/peacekeeping/defense matters like the United Nations? It's worth noting that the Minister of War and the Minister of Supply are part of the Alliance Cabinet: both tie into the command structure of the Alliance military, so a link to the Cabinet is an (indirect) link to the military / war effort.

3. Who is "in charge"?
Is there a separate Speaker / President / Chancellor who is the elected/appointed leader, or is the Congress led by the Chief of Staff / "Vice President" (a la US Senate) or the Chief of State / "Supreme Chancellor" (a la Galactic Senate)? Do we use a "President pro tempore" system like the US Senate, where a designated senior member of Congress can act as President/Speaker in the absense of the proper one?

[Zereth Lancer]

I am interested in playing a quarren rep. Not sure of which planet. Seems a little odd to have a rep for each planet shared between the Mon calamari and the quarren. Would it be more efficient to have a single Mon calamari and quarren who oversee all of their planets together? Each planet could have their own delegates but it would be up to a select member of each race to actually represent the system on the advisory council.

[Captain Untouchable]

The reason I've suggested a separate person for each planet is a matter of proportional representation.

If we just had one representative for the entire sector, then that means that Sullust - a single planet - has the same amount of representation as the entire Calamari or Bothan Sectors. By sharing out representation by planet, it means that we've got a fair portion spread out across our territory.

Also, it means that races like the Quarren - who typically wouldn't be all that happy about having a Mon Calamari representing them - get a fair, proportional say in political decisions. It means that the Veknoids won't have to rely on the politically backstabbing Bothans to represent their interests. It may seem like overkill, but it's pretty much the polar opposite of the Empire: we're offering fair and equal representation to aliens, rather than having a handful of races running the whole show.

There's still only one Mon Calamari representative on the Advisory Council though: it's just in "parliament" where things are different.

[Zereth Lancer]

Ah. I understand now. I would then be willing to write a Quarren to represent Dac. I really think it should be represented by a Mon Calamari, and you might agree, and in that case he could represent one of the other planets listed or could be a co-rep of Dac, like I mentioned earlier. And if you want a Quarren on the advisory council he could fill that role as well. Personally I would love to see the infighting between him/her and the Mon Calamari rep. A lot of barbs and thinly veiled race hate.

[Captain Untouchable]

Having a Quarren representing Dac would be really cool. It could be some sort of racial concession - the Mon Calamari get to represent the Sector on the Advisory Council; in return, the Quarren get to represent the planet.

It'd also mean that there are three planets represented by Quarrens in the sector, and three represented by Mon Calamari: that sounds like exactly the kind of hippy peace-and-love solution the Alliance would go for.

[Reshmar]

The Calamari would never go for that. It has been less than 25 years since they tried to take over the planet. 25 years is not long in the galactic scheme of things when the two have been mistrusting each other for 4,500 Years.

[Zereth Lancer]

The Calamari would never go for that. It has been less than 25 years since they tried to take over the planet. 25 years is not long in the galactic scheme of things when the two have been mistrusting each other for 4,500 Years.

This is more along the lines of what I was getting at. Minntooine would be my second choice.

[Captain Untouchable]

Lets not forget that the Alliance respects the sovereignty of it's planets. This Senate/Parliament wouldn't have much of a say in the internal affairs of Dac itself, so it's not going to shift the balance of power on the planet. The Quarren aren't going to be able to use this "new-found power" to lead another coup, to assert dominance over the Mon Calamari, or anything like that.

Also, lets not forget why Quarren tried to seize power. They wanted to side with the Separatists; the Mon Calamari wanted to stay loyal to Palpatine. Who turned out to be a psychopathic, genocidal, racial supremacist who enslaved the non-human populations of the galaxy - and more importantly, enslaved them. Yeah, the Quarren led a revolt 25 years ago... but the Mon Calamari were in bed with Space Hitler. Neither of them has really come out of it smelling like roses: a lot of it is racism, which isn't the sort of thing that the Alliance would be using as a basis for political decisions.


Regardless, the fact that a Quarren representative is unpopular sounds like a reason that we should do it. Happy politics where everyone is happy is boring. Disgruntled and unpopular politics is way more fun to write. If the Quarren represent Dac, then they and the Mon Calamari have three votes each: they can stick up for themselves, rather than being the downtrodden undersquids. They'll be in a stronger position to not only stick up for their rights within their own sector, and they can completely neutralise any Mon Calamari votes that they dislike.

Maybe the Quarren campaigned to be the representative for exactly that reason? The Alliance granted their request, which might cause some friction or animosity that Mon Calamari players can feed off, too.

On top of that, it makes the Quarren one of the top three races in terms of representation: they and the Mon Calamari would have 3 votes/representatives each, while the Bothans have 4+. They may not be on the Advisory Council, but they can outvote planets like Sullust and Sluis Van, which are. That could lead to all sorts of interesting dynamics, political alliances with some of the other underdog races, etc.


If you'd rather represent Minntooine than Dac, that's fair enough... but I really hope someone does play a Quarren for Dac, because I think it could make for some majorly cool storytelling.

[Reshmar]

Reshmar would be pissed to say the least. His parents were killed by Quarren so were many more. The Mon Cal offered peace when the two first meet and the Querran answered with an unprovoked attack. so is the history of the Quarren. So yeah it would cause tension between many calamari, maybe all, and the alliance. So sure why not. Lets see what having the calamari mad at the alliance does. Im in.

[Zereth Lancer]

So long as everyone else is onboard I am up for representing Dac as a Quarren. I'll get an account registered soon and a Wikipedia entry filled. Then you'll have to put up with space cthulu.

[Reshmar]

I look forward to not accepting him and distrusting him because his people killed my family.

[Captain Untouchable]

The three Quarrens are likely to be presenting a united front: it's unlikely that one Quarren is going to disagree extensively with the other two, and even if they do it's probably more likely to happen behind closed doors so that it looks like they're presenting a united front.

With that in mind, would it be worth having the other two Quarrens kept as named NPCs for now? That way you're free to write all the bickering and dialogue between them that you want, and we get a fleshed out government that we can reference in other posts. We did something similar with the Advisory Council: started them as NPCs, which were then taken over by players as and when someone felt the urge.

Presumably the Bothan and Mon Calamari representatives could be the responsibility of one person as well. Roleplaying a cadre of bickering, backstabbing Bothan NPCs could be pretty interesting.

[Zereth Lancer]

She, as I was intending to write a female Quarren. Just to make it that much weirder. Face tentacle makeouts.

NPCs would work for me. I don't mind playing them as well. There would be plenty of infighting between the three of them. A Quarren representative faces the task of balancing loyalty to their race while trying to be as progressive and cooperative as they can without betraying their race. Because of the recent war with the Calamari, and the Republic as a result, the Quarren are walking on eggshells doing their best to not garner the hatred of the rest of the Rebellion while keeping themselves from becoming second-class citizens on their own planet. Not all three of the Quarren representatives will have the same view of what is in the best interest of the Quarren as a race and the Mon Calamari Sector as a whole, but they will be doing their best to, as you said, represent a united front.

You can expect them to be outraged if the Calamari get any kind of special attention or gifts. I was planning on my character being a descendant of one of the several Quarren children that were kidnapped by the Mon Calamari for a social experiment that taught them the tenants of the Mon Calamari society and then released them back to the Quarren. Thus my character will be slightly more reformed when compared to most Quarren. She's still likely to be a raging hothead under the surface who will fight tooth and tentacle for her people's rights.

However, my writing may be stunted a little for now since my computer is currently having what appears to be Video Card issues so I don't know when I'll get around to registering the character and filling a wiki entry. If you would like a name to put on your list you can put Thada Adel.

[Thada Adel]

Here I am. Face tentacles and all.

[Reshmar]

You killed my father!


How about a thread where she is accepted for the post. Maybe an alliance/mon cal/quarren meeting of sorts. We can establish the 3 Quarren and 3 calamari representatives. Resh would surely be there. I like the idea of him struggling with his duty to the alliance and his distrust of the Quarren.

[Captain Untouchable]

Do we want to tell an origin story with the politicians, or would it be easier just to dive in at the middle?

One option for a non-origin thread would be to get all of the Calamari Sector people in a room. That would include the three Quarren and the three Mon Calamari, as well as the rep from Sanctuary and the miscellaneous aquatic from Krinemonen. It might even include Celeste Starborn as well: New Alderaan is just across the border, and is defended by the same fleet/etc.

We could perhaps do some sort of response to Sullust? The Quarren might "generously" offer to pick up some of the industrial slack (thus making them more invaluable to the Alliance), while Sanctuary (a major food producer) and New Alderaan might volunteer humanitarian aid... and concerns might be raised about defense and security, the Empire becoming ambitious and striking at Mon Calamari next, etc.

[Thada Adel]

I'm pretty much up for anything.

It should be noted that Calamari and Sullust space are almost on opposite sides of the galaxy. Giving aid would not be as simple as just hopping a few planets to get to Sullust. Sending people and/or resources would require a lot of work to get them there. The Quarren would also be the first to start pointing fingers and being asshats should anything go wrong. They would be willing to send the resources, but would be unlikely to take the responsibility of getting them to Sullust. Provided the Alliance is willing to take care of that part the Quarren would be fine with it.

Sending resources is much easier than people. However, their resources typically go straight to the Mon Calamari for use in their shipyards. Thada would use this as an opportunity to align the two races of Dac together in a joint venture. Not only are the Quarren offering the resources, but the Mon Calamari are offering to not use them, thus hurting their ship building on some level. The Quarren can offer to up their mining operation to off-set the loss. This way the Quarren look good to the Allegiance and prove that they are capable of working together with the Mon Calamari, which is a thing they are not considered to be capable of.

The Quarren would also want to keep the amount of resources they give on a very limited level as to not incur the ire of the Empire. Enough to be considered aid but not enough to look like they are trying to instantly rebuild Sullust. They would also play for resources to come from other sources as well so that the Calamari Sector doesn't stand out as a single target to the Empire.

With a reputation of being selfish, the Quarren have quite a battle to fight in order to gain the respect of not just the Mon Calamari, but the galaxy as a whole. This is the primary goal of Thada's. She will be willing to commit to just about anything that will improve relations with the Alliance races/worlds.

[Reshmar]

I have already dispatched Admiral Holt to Mon Cal to assist with getting aide for sullust.

[Captain Untouchable]

The Alliance has a whole branch (Support Services) which is responsible for the logistics side of things. Provided we can actually muster together the resources, they should have no problem actually shipping them to where they're needed.

Something else to bear in mind with the Quarrens: you have a set of shipyards orbiting Minntooine. These aren't a subdivision of the Mon Calamari Shipyards like everything else in the Sector: they're the facilities where the Free Dac Volunteers built ships for the Separatists. We aren't (as far as I am aware) making extensive use of Quarren ship designs at the moment, but that might be an angle you want to push / pursue as well.

It would be useful to have a played Mon Calamari representative as well, to be Thada's opposite number (and Tukphen's political ally) in all this. Ruisto seems to be the most interesting of the remaining planets: it has a slightly longer Wookieepedia page than the others.

[Thada Adel]

I did know about the shipyards but I just assumed they were out of our reach. Not too sure why I thought that. I Dont know if the Quarren would continue to make use of the shipyards. They're position in their society is that of resource gathering for the Mon Calamari. Building ships on their own seems kind of pointless when they can count on the calamari for that. However, should they ever need some big chips to barter with, they could always offer the Calamari the shipyards in exchange for whatever it is they might need. Left to themselves, I think they would only use the shipyards to produce transports and cargo vessels to ship resources from the mining colony planets to Dac for the calamari shipyards. I would assume they would construct submersible vessels elsewhere and not in a shipyards.

However, them producing their own ships could be a great story element to flesh out the race. I'm no good with designing ships but I'm sure we could whip some stuff up to fill their ship design roster. Likely they would look to produce ships types not overly produced by the Calamari shipyards. Direct competition would be a great thing but they would have a hard time competing with the veteran ship builders just yet. Definitely something to look into. Becoming independent of the Calamari is a dream but not something they ever expect to actually happen.

[Reshmar]

The Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corp build Recusant and Providence Destroyers. They also built a few Separatist Dreadnaughts which are the bigger Providence ships. Independence will be badly damaged in the Duro battle and Resh will be taking one of those as his flagship temperately.

If I am correct all Quarren yards are planet side. The build ships in the ocean. I know the Calamari did both but I think I read that Recusant and Providence were build on the water so they can land on the water.

Also I have already used the Quarren yards in a back story for the 12 modified dreadnaughts we turned into Alliance Mk II Dreadnaught Heavy Cruisers.

Any new designs you want to work up would be cool I’m sure we can help you with anything you think up.

[T'yeellaa Meorrrei]

Can't we all just get along? Surely an accord can be reached between Mon Cals and Quarren alike. You're both delicious :yum

[Thada Adel]

I finally did the required reading and look over the Free Dac shipyards, etc. It's pretty impressive stuff. I don't know why I wrote it off in the first place. From what I read all Calamari and Quarren ships are designed to be capable of landing on water for emergencies. Producing a Subjugator-Class Heavy Cruiser would put some incredible firepower in the hands of the Alliance. I would imagine that such a ship takes a lot to produce, hence why only four are even mentioned (at least by name).

It should be noted that the Quarren also have shipyards and factories on Pammant, but the planet was cracked to it's core by the Republic and radiated as a result. I do not know if that makes the planet uninhabitable or not, or if the factories and shipyards would be rebuilt and continue to be used. With just the Free Dac shipyards, and their own resources to fuel them, I can't see the Quarren producing ships very quickly or in much numbers compared to the Mon Calamari. During the Clone Wars the Free Dac shipyard was assisted by the Pammant yards and factories (which may or may not be destroyed), as well as being supplied by the Commerce Guild, with the assistance of the Techno Union and they had sister shipyards owned by Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. So there isn't any way they could match their producing power they had during the Clone Wars.

Regardless, they would continue to create the Providence-Class vessels for the Alliance. The Recusant-Class I'm unsure of, since the design was stolen from the Calamari, they might have taken the rights to producing the ships from the Quarren. I'm sure that other ships and designs could be produced if requested by the Alliance. They could even create Mon Calamari designs.

Would the Quarren have their own standing Navy, or would it be a joint Calamari and Quarren naval force? Would the Calamari, and the Alliance, trust the Quarren with any kind of standing force? I would assume that the Quarren would have been disarmed to some extent after their defeat in the Clone Wars. I'm just not entirely sure where they stand on every level. Wookieepedia only offers so much info.

[Reshmar]

I have imagined the Minntooine yards refitting and upgrading ships for modern warfare. We have quite a few old CIS and republic ships that need to be brought up to modern standards. Most have been striped of weapons since the clone wars most sold for scrap or as cargo transports. Also Ships damaged in battle could be repaired and not have to wait for a calamari yard to finish building.

Dac itself is surrounded by a ring of dozens of shipyards. Plus the rebuilt yards of Ruisto and the Krinermonen III yard that gives the sector plenty of production capability. As for Pammant, Its a rock and the docks were located inside the planet. I do not see them surviving the impact. It is possible they could have been rebuilt. the technology to deal with the radiation. So lets just say yes.

That gives us this list to kinda let us know whats where and such.
Shipyards and the max size vessel they can support

Dac - dozens if not hundreds of Large, and medium Shipyards (4 Km) mostly orbital but some planet side also
Minntooine - hand full of Medium Shipyards (2km) planet side
Ruisto - Multiple Small Shipyards (500m) Orbital
Pammant - Large Shipyard (4km) inside whats left of the planet.
Krinemonen III - Single Medium Shipyard (2km) planet side

Sluis Van Shipyards - Multiple large Shipyards (4 km) These are mostly used as commercial repair yards. it takes the Sluisi so long to do anything. building a capital ship there is out of the question.

Soro Suub Shipyards - Well none now. There were multiple Large and medium yards. moving some here from other worlds might be an option.

Bothawui Shipyards - They really didn't start building ships in large scale till the post endor EU books. I figure they have at this point a couple medium yards and some small ones. (2km) (and 500m) I think these would be mainly export yards.

Mustafar Shipyards.- I think there are 4 large shipyards there. (4km)

anything over 4km would take multiple yards and since we decided not to use thips over 4km I don't see a need.

Not that any of this matters much it might just be info someone may want for fluffyness.

[Captain Untouchable]

Thread necromancy!

Would anyone still be interested in doing this?

If so, I have a couple of thread ideas that I'd like to dive into, participants willing.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I'm entering the fray with Kallachiturra, a Wookiee senator/representative from Krant (and it's moon), and the junior senator from the same planet who is Krantian and unnamed as of yet.

[Numax Meltstrong]

'ey dere, Mustafarian Represenative joining dey fraey.

[Alli Tiawarrh]

Krantian junior senator, reporting in.

[Kallachiturra]

Wyaaaaaa. Ruh ruh.

[B.A. Barbacca]

Rrurrrarrrrrawwwrr. Ryyuhh-ruh.

[Kallachiturra]

A small green squarish module is fished out of Kalla's bag and set on a table. "Oh dear, it was so smelly in there." The tiny droid spun it's top half in a circle, ocular sensors glowing dimly. "Ah. Well. I am a Translation/Interpertation Matrix droid. Kallachiturra refers to me as TIM. He also refers to me as Mu na ya, which is sort of a little joke - ah yes, sorry. The Senator wishes me to say that he is very pleased to be representing the planet of Krant for the Alliance."
