Chapter 1: A Desperate Meeting
On Coruscant, 22 BBY
It was a nice day on Coruscant, as usual. People were busy and all well and happy. Even the Senators were happy, but I always thought they had stressful lives, but that's just my opinion.
Anyway, the Senators were busy-actually, everyone was busy, since the Clone Wars had been out for a month.
The Clone Wars were large battles taking places between the Republic and the Separatists for control of worlds. The Separatists had a larger battle of droids compared to the Republic's army of clone troopers, to which the Republic had only gained access to a month prior.
While the Separatists were lead by a dark man by the name of Count Dooku in the Separatist Senate, Chancellor Palpatine lead the Galatic Senate on Coruscant
Chancellor Palpatine sat at his desk inside his office. He was to have a meeting, through a hologram, with the Governors of Specro, a small planet that shared the same sun with Scipio. Soon, a holographic table came up, containing 25 men who sat around it. They all face the Chancellor, one of them stood up. He is the famous Governor Kenneth Skywalker of the country Mehn, Palpatine recognized. He was an average tall man, despite being in his late forties. He, along with the rest of the men, wore simple clothing, which indicated their simple way of living.
Governor Skywalker bowed to the Chancellor. "Chancellor Palpatine. We've address this meeting to discuss an important matter on our planet in the Senate," he acknowledged to Palpatine. The Chancellor nodded in agreement.
"Of course, Governor. Proceed," he replied. Governor Skywalker looked at his fellow Governors, then back at the Chancellor.
"The Governors and I have discussed that we would have a Senator lead us in the Galactic Senate, but we wanted to ask if that was alright first," the Governor explained. Palpatine folded his hands onto his desk. Inside, he was rather angry.
"Well, that happens to be a big matter, then. What's the matter with Senator Clovis? He leads both your planet and his in the Senate-" he began. One of the Governors stood up. It was Governor Eith Benvon of Voldiac, another country on Specro. This Governor was probably in his sixties, but he was a foot shorter that Governor Skywalker.
"But he's also the leader of the Banking Clan! And he never listens to us! He thinks we're stupid, poor idiots! Just because we only use holophones and the Holonet for technology, it doesn't mean we're stupid! Some of Coruscant's smartest doctors come from Specro!"nBenvon interrupted. A few Governors nodded their heads in agreement with Governor Benvon.
Palpatine didn't look assured. "So, you all agree that Specro, a planet that has limited political teachings, have one of its citizens to become its Senator?" he asked. A couple Governors stayed silent, as Governor Skywalker and Governor Benvon sat down.
One Governor stood up in their place. It was Governor Filoi Newtal of the country Walshli. He was around the height of Governor Skywalker, probably a few years younger. He raised his hands up in a stop gesture.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Chancellor! Ratanka is a smart kid, who has happened to be trained by the previous Senator of Scipio. That boy is an excellent motivated speaker, and he listens to the political channels on the Holonet all the time. Everyone listens to him, and so far no bad comments. Why, a couple months ago he traveled all over the planet to convince people to go against the Military Creation Act. And 85% of them agreed with him. At least give him a chance," Governor Newtal explained to the Chancellor.
Plapatine considered Governor Newtal's testimony. Maybe, if I met this Ratanka in person, I could get a sense of how good a Senator he will be for my plan, he decided. Palpatine smiled in realization.
"I have an idea. I would very much like to meet this boy. Maybe you could send him here, and if he is what you said, then he'll be the first Senator of Specro," the Chancellor shared his plan to the Governors. The Specros all looked at one another and nodded. Governor Skywalkers raised his hand in permission to speak, to which Palpatine allowed.
"Chancellor Palpatine, if you don't mind me asking, but how would you send Ratanka to Coruscant?" the Governor asked.
"Well, since you haven't any transportation, I will sent a Republic cruiser to go pick him up," Palpatine explained. Governor Skywalker's eyes widened for a second.
"It'll be protected, right?" the Governor asked, raising an eyebrow. Palpatine nodded in assurance.
"I will have clone troopers be sent on the cruiser, if you'd like," he offered. The Governors turned to face one another and whispered for a few seconds. When they stopped, Governor Skywalker stood up again.
"We have agreed to have clone troopers and a Jedi to escort Ratanka. But only one Jedi," the Governor declared.
"Is there a certain Jedi you were thinking of?" Palpatine asked this time. Governor Newtal raised his hand. We should have that Hero without Fear kid!
"Yeah, like that Commander...," he tried to explain. But he couldn't remember the Jedi's name. He looked over at the Governors for help."You know, the one that looks like Ratanka. But that kid's got a scar over his eye, and he can do those moves in the ships. POW! And he has the blue glowing thing!" Governor Newtal tried to explain. The Governor of Explow (yet, another country), Luigui Almastar faced Newtal.
"You mean Commander Skywalker?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Governor Newtal snapped his fingers and pointed at him.
"YES! That's exactly who should do it!" Newtal exclaimed. He turned to face Governor Skywalker. "He has your surname. He may be related to you," he told him. Skywalker placed a hand on his chin. He stay quiet for a few seconds. If his surname is Skywalker
"So he does and he might be," Skywalker muttered. He turned to face Chancellor Palpatine. "Send Commander Skywalker to escort Ratanka. I'd like to meet him in person as well," he told the Chancellor.
"I'll have to ask the Jedi Council on that matter. In the mean time, I just had another idea. Since I'm sending a Jedi to escort Ratanka, what if I sent a Senator as well?" Chancellor asked. The Governors all looked at each other, then back at the Chancellor.
"So they can see how well Ratanka is in his political achievements?" Governor Almastar asked.
"Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking, Governor Almastar. It'll be a interesting way for Ratanka to already know someone in the Senate before he might enter it," the Chancellor admitted, then added.
"You have a point there, Chancellor," Newtal admitted. He looked at his fellow Governors, who all nodded to him. "Alright, send a Senator. But is there a certain Senator you were thinking of?" he asked. Palpatine thought for a moment. Perhaps Senator Amidala could help them.
"Well, one of the best politicians I know is Senator Amidala," Palpatine offered. Governor Benvon started to chuckle.
"A female politician? Let's hope Ratanka doesn't get distracted," he stated. Some of the Governors joined in on his joke.
Governor Skywalker, however, didn't.
"Ratanka is not the distracted type. Besides, he is in a relationship," he explained. The Chancellor hid his confusion. Odd how Skywalker sticks up for Ratanka's personal life, he thought.
Palpatine gave the Governors an assuring smile, despite his thoughts. "So it is settled, then? I'll send Senator Amidala and Commander Skywalker to escort Ratanka to Coruscant, is that good?" he asked the Governors. The Governors all looked at each other. Then, they looked at the Chancellor and nodded to his question.
"Then it is settled. Tomorrow, I will send your escorts to pick up Ratanka," Chancellor Palpatine declared. The Governors all nodded to the Chancellor in agreement. Governor Skywalker stood back up again.
"I hate to bother you, Chancellor, but is it alright if you contact some Jedi...members so I may meet them and to confirm if Skywalker is available?" he asked. The Chancellor thought for a minute. Might as well, if I am to keep these retards queit. Palpatine smiled.
"That sounds like a good idea. I shall contact you within the hour, and I'll summon the Senator," he agreed. The Governors nodded, then, their hologram disappeared.. Palpatine pressed some buttons on his desk and a hologram of a Togruta Jedi came up.
"Master Shaak Ti? Will you summon three members of the Jedi Council? I have an important business to discuss with them," Chancellor Palpatine told her.
