Iziz Comm Reporter Azshaara Ra reports:
Onderon hosted the Federation Inauguration of the President and Vice President last night in the main hall. There was quite the turnout in attendance as citizens gathered to witness the momentous event.
Federal Mediator “Rush” took the responsibility of swearing in the two, swearing in Jedi Master Levinoff Praxis first as Vice President and then our very own Queen, Valara Kira, as President soon after.
Former High Father of the Vindicate Jedi Order and now Master in the Iziz Jedi Order took the platform first to give his Inaugural address, stating the following:
“When I created the Vindicate, the first few that joined started calling me…Grand Master, and personally…I didn’t like the sound of it. It had too much power…and authority to the sound of it. Made me feel…powerful. And I didn’t want to be called something powerful…because frankly I just never saw it in me. Some of the people I knew told me that I was always a sort of Father figure to them. Someone they could rely on to talk too and trust…can’t tell you how many times I heard someone tell me I was the kindest and wisest man they had every met. It put a great warmth in my heart and soul. And so…I told them all…’I am not your Grand Master…I don’t want to be a power figure. I want to be someone you all would trust…not for his strength..but for his friendship and wisdom.’ And so…they started calling me…High Father. And it…just stuck. And so for all of this time all I’ve tried to do is create a family….within my order….and friendships..with other orders. And…pardon my vulgarity…but i’ve gotten alot of osik for my orders ways. But….the first friend my order ever made…was Yavin. When we didn’t have a home…Iria allowed us to stand about on her grounds and use it as our own. And I cannot tell you how much I appreciated that…Yavins kindness towards us gave me the strength to keep going in search of bringing as many Enclaves together as possible, no matter the paths they take. But here I am blabbering about useless things. I am.. honored…to be the Federations Vice president. I know that many of you most likely do not want to trust a Gray with that kind of authority…and thats fine. But I think it would be lovely if you tried. As your Vice president I will do my very best to not be a power figure….but to be what I am to my order. A Father…caring..loving…wise…I will be there for each and every one of you. And that is not a statement, that is a promise…that is what I live for and have been devoted to for over 150 years of my life. Thank you…and may the force be with you all”
The Queen soon followed the Jedi Master with her Inaugural Address which is quoted as follows:
“Ladies and Gentleman, citizens and Guests of the Federation, thank you all for coming here today in support of our Government’s First Presidential Inauguration. It is my honor to serve as the first President of the Federation, and I my term is long remembered as one to look up to for our future leaders. My goal is to provide the Federation, which is a brand new Government, a a sturdy foundation that can provide the stability this government needs to thrive for many many years into the future. We formed this government to unite our citizens, to form a more perfect union of defense, prosperity, and tranquility, here then after, in pursuit of common justice, trade, and liberty. As your President I hope to achieve this with the aid of the Congress, so that we may make the quality of life for our citizens that much better. I will try my hardest to repel the forces of the Death Watch so we can stop this senseless bloodshed, and regain peace in our society. Thank you for placing your faith in me and in your government, may we all work to shape it into something of greatness.”
A meet and greet of sorts followed the ceremony and the new President and Vice President were met with many congratulations from various individuals.
Quite unexpectedly, Darth Atrox, Hand of the Sith Empire, showed up to congratulate the two. Darth Atrox was near unrecognizable by those gathered who had seen him before at the Onderon Council of Lords session a few weeks ago. He claims he obtained a new body, which would explain his appearance as a Sith Pureblood, a race long extinct.
He complied with Onderonian Weapons Laws and disarmed himself before embarking down to the planet, and overall seemed friendly when he addressed the President, though the President showed obvious signs of mistrust about his ultimate motives. There has been some speculation as of late on the Sith Empire’s involvement with the Death Watch in their war against the Federation, but these allegations were very adamantly denied by the Empire’s High Executor, Darth Rowe.
