“It is unfortunate that this day I must stand before you to announce the loss of a fellow warrior and patriot of this great republic. In a move that can at best be described as petty retaliation the Byss Empire has taken one of our own, Vice Chancellor Caldoth prisoner and without so much as a negotiation executed him.”
“This is an ongoing escalation of hostilities with this rogue state that seeks to undo our very way of life to satisfy the gluttony of its Empress and her fetid doctrines. I stand before you now because I believe in transparency and as such I will not mince words, nor sugar coat it. Empress Rowe will not stop until all we hold dear, all our Vice Chancellor held dear is laid waste before her. Your Children shackled as thralls under her repressive Dogmas. I call now that we, as a people should unite and seek to end this threat form the dark world for the honor and glory of our fallen. Be they Forces of GAR, my Administration or any person who looks to this Republic for Sanctuary. The time for debate with these creatures is over, it is time that heated blood answers the call of heated blood. “
“Rowe and her inquisitors have tried time and again to strike at us, our forces and our civilians with no restraint, I say now honor demands they be sent back to their dead world, either in retreat or in the same way they sent our Vice Chancellor to us, I ask that we push forward to see this done for the glory and freedoms of all beings- Byss, must be stopped, finally and forever as our Vice Chancellor would attest were he not so cruelly slaughtered.”
“In the name of Caldoth of Balmorra, The Empress of the Sith and her Grand Inquisitor must receive their just due and if in so doing they breath their last breath, so be it.”
Earlier tonight, Chancellor Frey’kaa’s surprising announcement went out across all Republic news feeds and remembrances began to pour in to social media sources Spacebook and Switcher.
An Arkanian by species, Vice Chancellor Caldoth of Balmorra was little known on the galactic stage before leading Balmorra to join the nascent 8th Galactic New Republic and then becoming Balmorra’s Senator, where he championed weapons reform policies particularly the banning of certain weapons, and also strengthening the Republic military by pursuing droid contracts to reinforce the Grand Army of the Republic’s forces and Republic Worlds after the fall of Taris.
As Vice Chancellor of the New Galactic Republic, Caldoth was sworn in during September with Chancellor Freykaa after running unopposed and frequently played a behind the scenes role, serving the Republic’s interests in negotiations with the Hutts and providing a bulwark against Sith expansion out of the Deep Core region.
A freedom fighter who was wounded leading a workers revolt against the Corporatocracy ruling the military-industrial world of Balmorra, Caldoth was a successful businessman and noted dancer.
Caldoth leaves behind no family. He had no children, his parents both died years ago before the revolution on Balmorra.
