The Aurus System [ EDIT ]

For a millennia, the noble houses of Aurus have stood united under a single sovereign and their council. But new threats in the wake of the Empire's downfall have emerged in the form of rampant piracy, Imperial Remnant warlords, organized criminal factions, and economic turmoil, forcing the long-independent system to consider joining with a galactic government body. The New Republic. While the sitting Regent, Alessia Aerthos maintains peace in the aftermath of the King's mysterious illness and subsequent death, her cousin and heir to the throne, Princess Surre Aerthos, prepares to undergo her coronation and take the reigns that lead Aurus's Legislative Council. The system celebrates her crowning with a 4-day long feast and festival that includes a grand retelling of Aurasian history and invites attendees to participate in its mock battles. The vote, happening shortly after the coronation ceremony, has raised tensions between factions within the council concerning the future of the system and how the new Queen will sway opinion...

As representatives (freelancers hired by the New Republic as it struggles to secure manpower), you have been commissioned to observe and report on the happenings in the Outer Rim System, but forbidden by the Aurasian Legislative Council from interfering with the vote. If a system as starkly independent chooses to throw their lot in with the New Republic, maybe other systems will follow suit, strengthening the fledgling galactic power in its much needed time of rebuilding while so many worlds question its longevity and ability to govern.
