Ambassador Jay

[Darth Viscera]

You will be reassigned to the Diplomatic Corps of the Galactic Military Alliance. You will be issued the Dominator Star Destroyer Griffin as your consular ship, and you will be assigned a staff to assist you. Take your ship to Thyferra, and try to make the planet join the GMA. We need bacta.

[Imperial Jay]

Jay bows down low.

"Yes sir. I will do that right away."

OOC: You want this in an RP right?

[Darth Viscera]

Yes, I do.

[DarthPoreon]

OOC: Post 666 for you Visc.

IC: A good idea, it would be very smart to control the bacta cartel

[Imperial Jay]

Okay, I will start right away. I have a question though, what benefits does Thyferra get if they join GMA?

[Darth Viscera]

Why, GMA protection, of course. They won't have to fear pirates who try to steal from the bacta cartel. We have the largest offensive fleet out there.

[Imperial Jay]

Alright Thank you. The mission is under way. Who leads Thyferra? Like, who should I speak to?

[Darth Viscera]

Thyferra

Located in the Polith system, Thyferra is the homeworld of the mantis-like Vratix and is the center of the galaxy's bacta industry. Thyferra was first contacted during the middle years of the Old Republic. Though the Vratix had already colonized Thyferra's single moon and other bodies in the Polith system, the contact with the Republic ushered in a new technological revolution. The Vratix soon invented the healing fluid called bacta by growing alazhi and mixing it with the chemical kavam. The remarkable fluid was extremely profitable, and wealthy, powerful Vratix operations spread across many worlds. When the Empire arose, two large bacta-harvesting corporations (Xucphra and Zaltin) negotiated a special deal with the Imperials, allowing the companies to gain a virtual monopoly on the bacta industry. These two massive conglomerates control ninety-five percent of the galaxy's bacta and are collectively known as the "Bacta Cartel." Xucphra and Zaltin, run by a small group of ten thousand wealthy humans (often family related), now run Thyferra's government and dominate the lives of the average Vratix worker.

The planetwide government is led by two Vratix canirs (chief officers) who are appointed by an elected council, each canir representing one of the two corporations. Since Xucphra and Zaltin are in fierce competition with each other, governmental gridlock frequently ensues and little is accomplished to benefit the 2.8 million Vratix citizens. This has given rise to the Ashern (Black Claw) terrorist group, which views the corporations as a threat and tries to bring them down by any means necessary. Several years ago a group of Ashern terrorists contaminated Bacta Lot ZX1449F from Thyferra, which was shipped to Coruscant and caused two million Imperial citizens to develop an allergy to the healing fluid. In the political confusion following the Battle of Endor, Thyferra remained neutral and profited enormously by selling bacta to both sides. Two and a half years after Endor, the New Republic, anxious to please the Thyferran leaders, recruited the human pilots Bror Jace (from Zaltin) and Erisi Dlarit (from Xucphra) into the famous Rogue Squadron.

Sounds like you should speak to the two canir. Make some mention of a few years ago in the past, when Ysanne Isard controled the planet. Also make some mention of the ashern terrorists.
