BYSS – An ongoing debate over Accords between the Kalway Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic continues to rile diplomatic communities, first in the meetings of the Galactic Republic and most recently across the discussion forums of the Holonet.
Introduced in March 2015, the Aldera Protocol formalizes the relationship between the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Orders who are signatories to this arrangement and lays out legal standing and protocols for these Jedi Orders and their members. Something the Celestial Empress has long opposed.
With the debate moving onto the Holonet, Celestial Ally Empress Rowe added her voice, saying, “Celue has managed to make an enemy of virtually the entire galaxy. A feat not even I have achieved. She will fall in line now, or she’ll be adding us to her list of adversaries… and one already in her back yard, I might add. We will not be the big dog at the end of her leash so she can run her mouth with reckless abandon.”
The Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Pjaysiv Panteer, stated that, “I get the fact most don’t understand the agreement and their may be some who oppose the aldera accords. The benefits protect both parties. By setting up this agreement we make sure that no Jedi or force users can hold political office. They also assure that we as the government body can not commanded the Jedi.”
Alleging segregation of Force Users by the GR as she repeatedly claimed to speak ‘for the people’, Empress Celue went on to state that at least one Force User already has taken control of the Galactic Republic, information she would only divulge in private to Empress Rowe while hinting that the New Galactic Republic had already fallen under the sway of one such, recently elected Chancellor Bhailli’jeh Freykaa formerly a Sith of the Sith Empire. “Though I know the Chancellor of NGR has turned away from the path of her training. I know of one within the government of GR… Though words can not be spoken in open holonet. Privately Later Mi’lady Empress Rowe of Byss.”
A senior member of the Sith Empire interceded on behalf of the Chancellor however, “Let it be known that while the sitting Chancellor was once a member of the Sith, she chose to depart and serve her people. As a Darth, that is her right, seen previously by the likes of Jen’ari Vectivus. Any challenge of this account, is a direct challenge of Empress Rowe herself, and all will be held accountable. Including allies.”
Empress Rowe herself is well known for spending time dealing with problems of her homeworld, one of many Sith to do so from former Emperor Validus and Emperor Destius to Executor Kālarātri’s work with the Pantoran Assembly.
Accusations laid by Empress Celue against members of the KOJ during recent attempts to rejoin or Ally with the NG. asserting several violations of the Accords however, continue to be discussed as well.
Vice Chancellor ZannahBlue opined that, “My reading of the protocol shows no such limit in any of the specified sections, or anywhere within that I have looked, so my finding is that there is no validity to the complaint.”
KalosProkopa of KOJ spoke next, “The stance of KOJ on this issue is in accord with the Vice Chancellor. There is nothing in the Accords that prevents more than one member of a given Order from speaking to this gathering.”
Senator Satsisyi’tam of Yavin agreed, “I don’t believe there is much to discuss … I think most of us were in agreement of the interpretation.”
Jedi Master Thalia Spintrus added, “Empress Celue has been against the Aldera Accords since her first tenure in this senate. She seeks control not cooperation.”
KalosProkopa continued, “Our reading of the Accords is that we are free to share intelligence with the GR, not that we are obligated to share the sources of it. And in any event, CE is not a signatory to the Accords, and thus are not obligated to the nature of our intelligence on any given issue. The Celestial Empire has made an accusation against the KOJ with respect to the Aldera Accords; KOJ refutes the accusations as baseless and lacking standing. But it is not the role of the Celestial Empire to prosecute the accusation. It is up to the Galactic Republic to do so. I put it in your hands to either pursue this or dismiss it.”
A senior member of the Sith Empire speaking under the condition of anonymity, confirmed that the Sith Empire had released troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic brought to them by Empress Celue. “The Empire is not interested in her skirmishes to desperately grasp for table scraps off of the Empress’ dinner table. As the CE does not back the Sith in combat, nor will the Sith Empire be dragged into CE affairs.”
