| "mr. ulyanov, your party is capable of disrupting the peace, not keeping it. you lack the means and the tools to do so. you have no access to any of the military stockpiles nor any of the equipment that is necessary for keeping a planet safe. you do not even have a single naval vessel. "i trust senator crion, who has a far better reputation than you (not to mention being a man who has not sent people to needless deaths) to render aid and assist the people until whichever organization comes out on top can handle full control. "if you, mr. ulyanov, intend to try us for crimes, then the only way that will occur is if you stand trial beside us for crimes as well. if that agreement is not met, we will simply travel to coruscant and deal with the courts there instead."

| He nodded to both men, and bowed to the King. "I apologize then for the...presumption...that has been made by my military officers. I will have them return to our vessel. Please excuse me gentlemen." he said. He would then leave the room, and step outside. "Is there a communications suite I may be able to use? I need to get into contact with my government." he said to one of the crew, and would be lead to such. Meanwhile, on his way, he had a talk with Colonel Chevalier. After a brief moment of arguement, the Freeworlds forces from both the camp and field hospital withdrew back to the carrier, where they would standby to be of any use. The fighter patrols also ceased, with all craft returning to the carrier. Crion had ordered the immediate termination of all operations. He knew what things had just looked like. He had a feeling the King would have a few words for him later, it wouldn't surprise him if he didn't. It looked like a power play, and it in fact was. However, appearences were decieving in this matter. The power play wasn't by Crion, but by the Freeworlds. The League's Parliament, and more precisely, the High Council that consisted of the voting members, were already pushing throughout the crisis for Freeworlds troops to step in as a intermediary, and bring the Loyalists, Rebels, and Neimoidians in line. They were then pushing for him to put in a diplomatic effort during the riots. Following the riots, they were pushing him to send peacekeepers and aid. He refused them all, and this was following them pushing him to not be apart of the Senate delegation that witnessed the begining of all of this. They were pissed that he was seen at the funerals for the dead from the School of Hidden Wisdom explosion. Push came to shove in this matter, and the High Council pushed with their voting power, and he could not shove, for while being the Head of State, he was in a more or less figure head position. He was here, with the troops at least, in the name of the League of Tapani Freeworlds, not the Tapani Sector. He, personally, was here in the name of himself. He had a personal attachment to this matter, and he felt horrible for the people of Baltimn. A ignorant and ineffective government, and violent and bloody revolution that only saw black and white. He held animosity towards both men talking to Mercutio. Stomwell, for having his head so far up his ass that didn't do a thing to put an end to Cale or help avoid revolution. Ulyanov, for going from leader of a peaceful opposition, and within a week, violent, with us or against us, rebel. It was with all this in mind, that had caused Crion's seemingly out of character behavior, and it was with this in mind that he walked into the communication suite to talk to the High Council, and it would be a defining moment in his career as Premier...and a moment he would probably later regret, for it would show a fire within him that he held in for far too long. It was time to put the High Council back in its place, and to no longer let them get under his skin like they had.

| "Republic? What business do they have here? Capitalist pig? To prop up your reeking corpse of a regime? We have all the tools for keeping the planet safe that we need here on Baltimn. We can build weapons if need be, ships, etc. Failing that I'm sure the Galactic Market will allow us to purchase them from the rewards of the sweat of our labours. We will not piss around with your "Republic Courts" you will be tried by the people of Baltimn, and not be allowed to hide behind the corrupt capitalist courts of your allies."

| "praytell, mr. ulyanov, how will you do that? none of the current corporations will back you, and you have none of the military support. local security forces are one thing, but you have no ships or troops or even military gear to defend this planet. "in short, you need us. you don't even have the means to keep us here to try us. if we choose to approach this matter in new republic courts, it is still within our rights."

| "Mr Stomwell, we have the people, and the people do not need your guns or corporations, they can work to support themselves and their families and if corporations do not organise this work in cooperation with trade unions then the corporations themselves will be organised.. And I believe many corporations will back my refusal to pay the punative charges to the Neimoidians for your Administration's blunder, and if they do not, what of it? Non-cooperative corporations will simply be nationalized.. Equally many in the military support us, as was witnessed by them crossing the lines to join the protestors, mostly after the slaughter you ordered at the Government buildings... Baltimn is not in the New Republic, I am a free Baltimn Citizen, and the courts which apply are Baltimn's perhaps you fear a trial by your own people? If you set foot on Baltimn, even those who do not support my movement would tear you apart or at least bring you to trial. You think the Security forces like being told to fire on crowds? To attack civilians?"

| "you may have some of the military, mr. ulyanov. you do not have all. it is the same with the people. you may find that the better part of the military are not willing to serve under you and that they would rather depart with us than remain. "none of us will ever stand trial on baltimn, mr. ulyanov. that much has been seen to. if you were to try and force that issue, the results would be disasterous. if you do intend to rule baltimn in any capacity, then perhaps you should learn when you are making a mistake of grave consequences."

| "Then let the military depart, another bloated piece of capitalist infrastructure to be cast out if need be. I somehow doubt your allegation though. You are really suggesting that a serious number of people would abandon their homes, lands and families, the world where they have lived since time immemorial to the unknown promise of flying into space with you? After you ordered popular slaughter? I think not. What if some of the military disagreed with you? Would you turn quadlasers on crowds of them too? You are refusing to stand trial in the Jurisdiction where your crime was committed? In front of a court of the people from that jurisdiction? Essentially then you are placing yourself and government above the law? The rule of law is essential to good governance and you must stand trial for your crimes."

| "i will stand trial in an impartial court. you then, will stand trial for murder, sedition, tredpassing, terrorism, insurgency, blocking the path of justice and a number of other crimes once the lawyers are done with you. "i believe general preston and his hardline troops will not remain. they are only perhaps ten percent of the military, but they aren't likely to keep on with you. therefore, when we go to coruscant, they and their gear will be going with us as an escort."

| "I am happy to stand trial in front of a jury of my peers if it is deemed suitable to indict me.. But in no Republic Court, in a court on my Home, where I hold citizenship, Baltimn. Are you sure your Republic allies will allow you to take 10% of the army, those who are radicals presumably.. to go to Coruscant and do what? Sit and live off the wealth which belongs not to you, but to the people of Baltimn."

| "so the great leader mr ulyanov is afraid to stand trial in an impartial court. this is because you know you are in the wrong and only a false court on baltimn would acquit you of your crimes. "as for the wealth of the people of baltimn... we will return what wealth belongs to them. a large portion of said wealth belongs to the aristocracy. whether or not you choose to abolish it on baltimn, their property is still theirs. "you have no say on that."

| "I am not afraid to stand trial in a court with the right to try me. The land of the aristocracy will be seized and re-distributed. Property is a sacred right but not property stolen and held by the virtue of their ancestors being bigger murderers than mine. Each aristocrat may retain of his property enough to farm and live off. Or else the monetary equivalent to bring them in line with the average. Titles of Nobility are also to be dis-established in their entirety, the records of the bloodlines for the nobles destroyed. My Government will not institutionalise division in society. "

| "well, if you intend to take the land belonging to the aristocracy and redistribute it, as well as destroying their titular records, we will just keep the hard currency and high-value items we have on board our vessel. that seems a fair compensation. "if you are too afraid to stand trial in new republic courts, well, we may just never be able to see you running a government. the new republic might have much to say about you running this place with no backup or aid and being a common criminal. "at least i am willing to stand in a court. you, though, are just a usurper, a terrorist and a coward." Added (13 Jun 2010, 1:56 PM)

| "Unfortunately this is not the case, the Neimoidian Government has assured me that your vessel will not be allowed to cut and run with money belonging to Baltimn, all assets will be returned to Baltimn's Planetary Treasury that were taken from it. The accounts of these aristocrats on Baltimn will be frozen and nationalized. Such small units of currency that are not from the Planetary Treasury or in the Banks will be conceded to the aristocrats onboard who may keep them, if they are to go into exile. If they return to Baltimn they will be treated like the vast majority of aristocrats on Baltimn who have not fled, they will have to work like any other citizen in a classless society." "I am not willing to be tried by a court which has no right to try me Mr Stomwell.. I am not a New Republic Citizen, I have not committed any crimes, and your allegations are based on Baltimn not on Coruscant, a trial elsewhere would be a travesty and would be an example of New Republic Courts overstepping their Jurisdiction. I am willing to go to court in front of a jury of my peers, as is my right under Baltimn Law, and you are extended the same right."

| "unfortunately, neimoidia does not have the means or right to hold us. they do not have the right to even set foot on our vessel. you will not see so much as a credit chip of it. you do not run baltimn until the elections are decided. neither does neimoidia. "i am willing to be tried by a new republic court. if you are not, then you now you are guilty of all charges and unfit for government rule. step down if that is the case, mr. ulyanov, or silence your sheeplike bleating for trial of your peers. it's easy to stand in a court when you have stacked odds. stand in an impartial court. if you agree to that, i will remand control of the baltimn government to you, should you be deemed not guilty."
