An Odd Meeting...

| For over a year, he had clashed in the Senate Hall and in Ruling Council meetings with Chief of State Pon Gavrisom...as well as nearly the entire administration. On the Ruling Council, over his first year his closest ally was, shockingly, Borsk Fey'lya. However, once the peace treaty was signed, he turned on him quicker than a firaxan shark. He was the lone voice of opposition, and as soon as he could be cut out of the picture...he was. The latest crisis his home system faced was just enough excuse to declare him unfit for chairmanship, and remove him. His policies reversed, his advice unheeded... he was more or less a General screaming orders to deaf soldiers. Which is why made this trip the oddest experience of his life. When he was finally released from prison, he was given a message at the gates that the Chief of State seeked a meeting with him. Intrigued, he decided to stop by Coruscant rather than head to Corellia right away. He was a curious soul when it came down to it, and he was very interested in what the Chief of State had to say to him, after being heated political enemies for over a year now. This old dog of war, first militarily and now politically, felt a few new tricks he could learn, hence having his son set up a company in his name while he was imprisoned. He had decent treatment in the prison, and spent most of his days either working out to stay in shape or watching TriNebulon News, his personal favorite news outlet. He had heard that since replacing him, the ambitious Lancer Niedra seemed to freeze in the spotlight, and last heard before he made this trip that support around him was crumbling quicker than a sand castle in a hurricane. Suddenly he didn't seem like such a bad guy on his homeworld, and at least his own people understood what the new government sought to achieve, and that he was asked into the position he was in, not grasping it for himself like the Senate made him out to be. He was called a tyrant, despot...perhaps even the "next Emperor" by some within the Senate when news broke on the reforms. One of his most vocal opposers was the Chief of State. The more he thought about it, the more he was confused as to why this meeting was called. However, he was curious, and wished to find out. On top of that, the old habits of a General kicked in as the Chief of State called. When the turbolift doors opened, he walked out with the same disciplined and powerful walk he had coming out of basic. He kept that walk all of his life, priding himself on his military discipline. Pride radiated from him, even though he was merely in a business suit today, albeit one of the New Republic colors. He walked up to the receptionist, and spoke. "My name is Orion Karath, I was asked to come see the Chief of State as soon as possible." he said, showing her his ID.

| Ponc Gavrisom was notified by his Secretary, Ms Azzip, who informed him General Karath was here. "Send him up, by all means", Ponc waited in the Brian Kruus Suite of the Prosperity Wing, the statue of Brian Kruus, polished to an aurodium plated gleam shimmered with radiance. Under the statue waited President Ponc Gavrisom, sat alongside Admiral Nek Buan'tu, General Calrissian and Supreme Commander Ackbar, keenly in discussion of the best way in which to police the New Republic's Spacelanes, a representative from the Defense Council also was present at the discussions. A quad of gaudily uniformed guards stood by the entrance, their role clearly more ceremonial than practical in this High Security Wing. Before being sent up, Orion Karath was scanned and checked for any forms of weaponary.

| He went on up, and passed through the security checkpoint with ease. All he had on him was a DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol, registered through the Coruscant arms control laws, and he handed it over as he walked through the Prosperity Wing. The Brian Kruus Suite wasn't too far of a walk for him, and he slightly enjoyed the walk, in that he was yet to step foot into the newly opened wing, which he was in favor of naming after Eli Fitzgerald, but out of respect for democracy and the fact it was a federal building, beyond the debate on its naming, he stayed quiet on his opinion. Within five minutes of the Chief of State being paged of his arrival, he was walking into the Brian Kruus Suite. At the sight of his equals in Admiral Buan'tu and General Calrissian, he nodded, before reacting to the Supreme Commander and Chief of State, whom he quickly snapped into a point of attention, and gave a crisp salute. He would then approach the Chief of State and offer his hand, "President Gavrisom, I do not believe we've had the pleasure of meeting face to face." he said to him.

| Ponc looked at Karath up and down, giving a hoot to himself quietly, of displeasure or pleasure "As you say Mr Karath, only on the Senate floor" he declined from shaking the mans hand, keeping his wings on the desk, looking up at Karath. Both Generals Returned to behind the table, next to the sitting Ackbar and Gavrisom respectively. The Four Guards moved outside of the room for a moment, before returning in, now equipped each with a drum and now accompanied by a Drum-Major. They stood at attention, ready to drum. Admiral Nek Buan'tu stood "Firstly, Mr Karath. I will state that this is a decision that is final, however, you may (if you so choose) to a General Court Martial. By the Unanimous decision of the New Republic Command, Ruling Council and the appropriate authorities, you have been deemed to act in a manner unbecoming of an Officer of the New Republic. You have tainted the commission which you still hold with acts of criminality, and with acts of usurpation, and with attempting to install yourself as a Dictator." Supreme Commander Ackbar stood, walking slowly around to the front of the desk, he opened a box sitting closed on the desk. And turned a key, opening it before taking from it a sequence of papers. "You Orion Karath" The drumming began behind Karath from the drummers at the door. "Having committed such felonies as having been laid out, and for disturbing the peace of the New Republic, for the disgrace of your commission. You are stripped of all rank ever held within the New Republic Military. Your awards and decorations are stripped from you. Your name is to be struck off the roll of warriors who have fought for our cause. Your pension and other income recieved from the New Republic Defense Force are stripped from you also. You are hereby no longer to be regarded as a Veteran of the Alliance. You are required to turn over all items of New Republic Uniform, Buttons, etc to the appropriate authorities. Consider yourself a branded man, one cast out for attempting to become all that we have fought against." Ackbar tore the documents asunder, ripping them twice and placing them back in the box, Karaths service being expunged from the Records. General Calrissian leant forward "You forgot something Admiral" he spoke to Ackbar. Who turned back to the desk "Oh, quite" he said, taking the ceremonial blunt sword from the desk, snapping it across his knee and tossing it at Karaths feet to pick up. The drummers parted and the door slid open "You may now leave, Mr Karath" President Gavrisom said dismissively.
