| Heavy boot steps echoed through the hall as a young man walked through the halls of the Senate rotunda. His Blue-gray eyes looking over the figures that held up the ceiling. The flowing and ornate robes resting on his shoulders drug behind him with each step. The white with black designs showing that he came from a well to do family as he took his place on the speaking platform. His eyes looking up to the other platforms of the senators as he looked from each on. Marking where each planet was seated with the senators waiting. He took a moment to clear his throat before he was given the floor to speak. "It has come to the attention of the people of The Cronese Mandate, that proper representation with in the Imperial Senate is needed. The people have chosen my family to represent the Cronese Mandate. In accordance to that decision, I was sent to Coruscant to ensure the people's voices are heard and to also ensure that their needs are met." When he finished his eyes went back and forth from each of the Senators. Now he would wait for what would be said as he stood silently.

Lord of Chandaar

| Tell us sir, besides ensuring that your people's voices are echoed within these chambers, what other agendas do you bring with you to the Senate?

| "It is not my agenda that I bring to the Senate Chamber with me, it is the agenda of my people. The Cronese Mandate have made it clear that while they will support the Empire. They will do so to ensure their independence and further peace with the Empire in these troubling times. The Cronese Mandate will stand at the ready to support actions of the Imperial Forces with in Mandate space and near our borders should assistance be needed."

| I wonder if you would elaborate for us, Mr. Kuriyoshi. The Cronese Mandate was recently established under, well, mandate from the Empire. I wonder, what relations does the Mandate now have with the Cron Kingdom, the Tion Hegemony, and other regional powers that might not be pleased that a territory that once belonged to them now belongs to us? I'm also interested in what relationship, if any, you have to the noble House of Cron, which, as I understand it, governs the planet Chandaar. Are you, in fact, a lord of this noble house? Finally, Mr. Kuriyoshi, I wonder if you would share with us your opinions on some of the recent, controversial bills that have been proposed in the Senate; the proposed ban on abortion, for instance, the limitations on planetary monarchies, or Representative Vanden's proposal to investigate the Caamas Incident?

| "With no disrespect to Senator Cambrist, the first question in itself is one that makes no sense. Asking the relations of the Cronese Mandate with the Cron Kingdom would be like asking me the relations between my right and left hand. Chandaar while being the current Imperial Sector capital, also holds House Cron, the descendants of the Cron Kingdom. I can tell you though that the Relations with the Tion Hegemony and the Allied Tion Sector are stable at the best of times. Many worlds that once resided in the entirety of the Cron Kingdom, as well as a few that once were in Tion space are now held by the Cronese Mandate. A decision that still causes problems and passions to flare with in the Tion borders. As for the relation of my blood to that of House Cron is simple. My family line has been a strong supporter of House Cron for the past many thousands of years. It is because of this support that my fathers forebears were given the Title of Lord which has passed down through the family line since until reaching my hands at the most recent death of my father." Zarcaine brought his hands down after motioning the statements of how his family line had grown along side House Cron as he took a breath and a moment to collect his thoughts. An assistant handing him a datapad with the relevant information upon it as he looked up. "It is the view of the people of the Cronese Mandate that the people have the right to choose themselves if they are ready for a child. Their view states that the government has no right in demanding that they carry a child to full term, as it is the choice of the mother to bear the child or not, and is a personal choice. Not of life over death, but of the correct time in bringing a child into the galaxy. If one can not provide for a child and knows it, then it falls to that person to make the correct choice in what they must do. To either find a way to provide for said child, or to choose the means not to give birth." His hands moved over as he slid to the next relevant information for the next question as he brought his hand up. As Zarcaine took a moment to read he then returned his attention to the senators. "It is the view of the people of the Cronese Mandate that limiting the power of a planetary monarch, simply because the head of state is the Emperor, and planetary monarchs are a symbol of the Old Republic, is a dangerous matter to touch. While there are many planets that would relish the rule of the Empire to dispose of a corrupt monarch, there are those that would view the dispose of a benevolent monarch as a reason to rebel. With out the proper information on the matter, and on the current situation of those planets that would be affected, the people of the Cronese Mandate have decided to abstain from making any true statement on the mater." Zarcaine took another moment as he read through the datapad, the next set of information available to him as he spoke once more. "It is the view of the people of the Cronese Mandate that those responsible for the incident must be found and answer for the death that they have caused. The people of the Cronese Mandate are in full support of such actions, if those actions lead to an apprehension of the culprits. The people of the Cronese Mandate have also authorized the aid of those affected, to help them recover from this horrid incident." Zarcaine then turned and handed his assistant the datapad before looking back to the Senators as he stood silently once more.

| *Cambrist preemptively raised an eyebrow when Kuriyoshi said "With no disrespect to Senator Cambrist," knowing that this sort of phrase—also, "With no disrespect intended" or "With all due respect"—almost always prefaced something that was, indeed, disrespectful; to Cambrist's stubborn sense of dignity, at least. Sure enough, he didn't care for being told that his question "makes no sense," and he conjured a rather vicious response in his mind that he would make as soon as Kuriyoshi finished. As the Senator-designate went on, however, Cambrist couldn't help but be impressed with his candor. He had pummeled the poor man with controversial questions designed to make him enemies in the Senate even before he was seated in it; turning pro-life Senators against him, for instance, and even provoking the ire of the Grand Vizier, who was known as an opponent of the Caamas investigation that Kuriyoshi now supported, on the record. But still, Cambrist admired that Kuriyoshi hadn't weaseled out of the dilemma and said something like, "It would be premature for me to comment on those measures, as I have not had the opportunity to study them." No, Zarcaine Kuriyoshi seemed to be a good, honest man, the sort of person who Cambrist—who didn't believe there was such a thing as a good, honest man—loved to have as an opponent. Thus, the controversial questions. But as a result, Cambrist would not oppose Kuriyoshi's application to the Senate. He might even come to like the fellow. But still, he couldn't resist one last barb.* "If my question 'makes no sense,' it is because, I admit, my areas of expertise tend to be rather broader than the petty, provincial politics of Outer Rim feifdoms. I thank you, though, for answering the question in the manner I had intended. I do not oppose your application, though I do disagree with you on a number of issues; namely, planetary monarchies and the proposed Caamas investigation. But I do not hold a simple difference of opinion to be reason enough to deny a seat in this Senate to the man chosen by his people to represent them. Thus, I bid you welcome, Mr. Kuriyoshi."

| If there are no further questions for Lord Kuriyoshi, I would ask that he kindly repeat after me. "I, (state your name), do solemnly swear, under penalty of treason, that I will represent the people of (state your constituency) to the best of my ability, that I will bear true allegiance to the Empire, its Emperor, and its policies, that I will uphold and abide the Imperial Charter, that I will preserve and protect the principles of the New Order, and that I will defend all of these from all enemies of the Empire, both foreign and domestic. So help me."
