RNN Headquarters, Republica -- On Day 1 Year 20 the New Republic welcomes former Chief of Military Jin Solas as the newly elected Chief of State (CoS). Jin Solas is replacing Orion Chran, whom served two full terms as Chief of State. After a week long election Jin Solas emerged with 61% of the popular vote, chosen to lead the New Republic by the people and for the people.
Day 351 Year 18 marked the opening of the campaigning season for the office of Chief of State. With CoS Orion Chran wrapping up his second term in office, the Republicsâ eyes were ready to see what new faces would appear. Jin Solas and Gothar Elesar both threw their hats into the ring. Jin Solas was the Chief of Military Command, the highest military office in the New Republic, and a long time citizen. He faced a fierce veteran of the New Republic, Gothar Elensar. Elensar a renown Knight of the Republic who also held the position of Assistant Minister of Trade and Industry at the start of the race.
Â
Jin Solas's campaign largely ran on promises of his dedication to the positions, and determination to do right by the citizenship. As a long standing citizen, and battle-tested soldier, his claims of patriotism and resolve were well backed. Recounting his time in the New Republic, from humble beginnings to his current status, the narrative captured the attention of many. Citizens of Rodia were of great interest for political analysts, many of whom said how they swayed would dictate the ultimate winner of the race. Being Solas's home, and a planet that Elensar has helped develop in his governorship of the Tyrius system, many found it difficult to decisively pick a candidate.
To help with this, the campaigning period was filled with multiple intense question-and-answer sessions with either of the candidates, and broadcast to all New Republic worlds. Attendance was high, and each candidate received a plethora of questions, some specific to their campaign promises and others which they shared. Having multiple Q&A sessions lent the added ability to allow further outreach of voters and garner greatest interest with populous in harder to reach locations.
âThe Q&A format of campaigning has been incredibly important to the (New Republicâs) elector and diplomatic process. Collaboration from folks of all walks of life is inspiring, and helps to bring every citizen into our representative government.â A senatorial correspondent said. âOur representative government is the key to what makes us truly who we are, and this election is one of the most focal points to up holding that.â
With the election results announced, and Jin Solas the new Chief of State, Gothar Elensar took the chance to address his supporters and Jin himself. âI just wanted to say thank you all for giving me the opportunity to run in this years election. I would like to congratulate Jin on his victory and I am sure the New Republic will be well watched over for the length of his stay at the helm of the New Republic.â
Â
Later on in the day Jin Solas swore into his role as CoS. As is customary, he also gave his first speech to the New Republic as CoS.
"It is an honor to stand before all of you today, as your newly elected leader, charged with the responsibility of command, duty, and as representative of our dearly held values embodied by the office of the Chief of State. I expected to be filled with emotion should I have found myself standing here as I am. And now that the moment has come, I find that emotion only partially as a consequence to how I had hoped for and imagined this day coming to pass, in which I achieved a goal which I had held for so long. Greater than this personal sense of accomplishment, and wholly superseding it though, is the sense of deep recognition of the faith placed in me to carry out this great responsibility. So I will simply say, thank you to all those that chose to place your faith in me. I will work diligently throughout the course of my term to make sure I am worthy of it. To those of you whom placed your votes elsewhere, though I may not be the candidate you hoped for, I shall likewise endeavor to earn the position I've been granted and through it, I hope, your trust and faith in the coming year as well."
CoS Solas went on to extend praise to his competition, Knight Consular Elensar. "I'd also like to thank Gothar Elensar for putting in the time and commitment to run for such a difficult position. And for participating in these elections, one of the greatest treasures of democracy. I'll be looking forward to working with Gothar as well, and in helping him further along the goals he outlined in his own campaign." As of Day 35 this year, Elensar now holds the position of Minister of State, working alongside CoS Solas.
Closing, Solas took the opportunity to discuss the changes the New Republic is currently undergoing with departure from the Galactic Alliance. "Though separated from the words and articles of the charter that once held us together, we remain united to those close to us by the stronger bonds of friendship and fellowship. And so though uncharted, I am excited by the prospect of furthering those bonds and reinventing ourselves to the galaxy, yet remaining firmly committed to our ideals."
Sentients, an incoming broadcast from Brigia II Companion from the Greater Tion News Group. Tionese citizens, military personnel and governmental staff alike came together to conduct a naming ceremony on the moon of Brigia II Companion. Conducted by First Lady Liilith Delcroix-Barefoot, the newly named city of Chlad was unveiled to all of the Hegemony as a newly constructed training locating for new military personnel. With an array of military compounds at its disposal and a multitude barracks' for training drills and recuperation, the new facilities will ensure the newest breed of military soldiers and navy elite will receive the best environments possible for their exercises.
Complimenting the military facilities, the main Civic Centre known as Strom will allow classroom activities and briefings to occur for platoons during their training, but additional facilities for human resource operations, enlistment services and psychological assessments. However, despite the state of the art military facilities, the main attraction for many will be the recreation activities available to the officers when off duty. Thanks to a number of anonymous donations from civilian personnel among the Lady Hegemon's administration, a number of taverns and bars are available for much deserved rest and relaxation. Housing some of the finest Tionese ales, Pazaak tables and dance floors to enjoy the company of fellow recruits and officers, these facilities will ensure all military personnel will be able to enjoy both work, and play.
As primary military enlistment is moved to the moon, existing facilities and enlistment hubs still remain in operation throughout the Allied Tion and Cronese Mandate clusters, will support available throughout Hegemony space as required. Local analysts within the governmental officers are predicted an increase in military enlistment by its citizens within the cluster thanks to these new state of the art facilities, while military officers are expecting even higher standards from the new recruits. With this new expansion into Brigia II Companion and the recent completion of the colonisation efforts on Morobora, many news outlets and wondering what the next expansion effort will be within the Tion Cluster.

Sentients, an incoming broadcast from the Greater Tion News Group. A local resident of Abraxin Companion was arrested yesterday after attempting to steal medical supplies and cyromedical technology from an Athakam Medical facility on the rocky moon. Security personnel of both the Tion Hegemony and its Defense Division were quick to respond, apprehending the suspect before technology could be tampered with. Upon his arrest, Axi Raan, a Thyferran national, was taken to a nearby security station for processing and booking.
The Tion News Group, after Raan's preliminary interviews and processing, was able to speak with the Thyferran to further understand his motives. "Cryogenics is not for this galaxy. Us Thyferran's are the medical masterminds and have been for generations. We know the medical limitations of all races, and in the eyes of the of the gods, this is not something meant for this galaxy." upon conclusion of the interview, Raan was witness clawing at his face and attempted to remove his own fingernails, showing evident signs of an unstable individual.
While the suspect was not charged upon questioning, he was transferred to a nearby Athakam facility for psychological assessment to ensure he received the best care to assist with his condition. Security around medical facilities throughout the cluster was tightened for several hours after the arrest, but has since been relaxed as no additional incidents have been reported.

Flagged by the Lady Hegemon, provincial Mayor Gianta Vix outlined the upcoming improvements to a growing crowd of Tionese citizens, highlighting economic growth and improvements to local food and beverage opportunities.
"It is my privilege and honour to unveil these new agriculture improvements and subsidies to the people of Dravione. With these improvements, local businesses will have additional means of income through exporting of goods among Allied Tion, while ensuring that all citizens have cheap, easy access to food they can grow themselves. This is the first program we are launching and we are confident that its success will ensure the implementation of additional programs across all of Greater Tion space."
With the implementation of the program commencing within the coming weeks, a number of local businesses and individuals have commenced the signup process, preparing their properties with the required materials to ensure optimal growth. Additionally, nearby governments of Allied Tion such as Voss and Corlax have outlined similar plans they intend to implement in the near future in response to Dravione's plan. The Lady Hegemon, upon conclusion of the press junket, was visibly pleased with the initiative, hoping that all Tion Hegemony space would see ongoing improvements to local infrastructure to ensure low unemployment rates and decreases in cost of living. Initial release of agricultural subsidies for the first trial is expected to occur before the twentieth galactic year commences.

Downhearted Tion Hegemony Emboldened by Leadership (Posted by Crislyn Anessa Waryn on Year 17 Day 358)
|
|
GTNG -- Kazarak system, Sertar, Tion Cluster
Y17D358 - Today marks the first milestone into the inspired leadership of newly-appointed Lady Hegemon, Stephanie Barefoot, as the Tion Hegemony commences to show numerous signs of renewed unity and prosperity. Shortly into her new role as Head of State, Lady Barefoot negotiated the incorporation of the newly re-discovered Kazarak system into the already vast territory of the government. The process of urbanization didn't take long to begin thanks to the quick mobilization of infrastructural resources and highly motivated personnel that thrives with the rise of the new face of our government.
It was on Day 328, after a flurry of activity from the Tionese directive, that the GTNG was cleared to reveal that in the wee hours of morning, huddled in the Grand Chambers of the Hegemonial Palace on Voss Prime, the Tionese High Council gathered to officially mark the transition of famed and long-time development aficionado, Lady Stephanie Barefoot, Chancellor of the Tion Hegemony, to her new post as the first female Hegemon. Many other transitions within the leadership of the Hegemony followed, instituted by Lady Barefoot as part of her vision for the betterment of the Tion Cluster administration.
But, in order to accurately report the story of Lady Barefoot’s transition to leader of the Tionese people, we must revisit the previous 60 days of the Tionese year. In the weeks leading up to the Tionese annual Day of Unity celebrations, rumors had begun circulating the worlds under the protection of the Tion Hegemony. Hushed voices in every bar, factory, and homestead could be heard asking the same question: "What has become of Lord Hegemon Asai?"
Taking a look back to Day 270 of this year, a mere 30 days before the Hegemony’s unity celebrations, Lord Takao Asai was readying to embark on his yearly mountaineering excursion on Desargorr VI. A keen explorer, Lord Asai knew the mountain ranges like the back of his hand. Dreadfully, three days later, after leaving the small mining town of Lajurnor, signals from his commlink ceased. Several days followed before an extensive search and rescue mission was undertaken by the then-Chancellor’s personal staff. From what we can gather, no expense was spared in this operation but it was hampered by unseasonable weather. No evidence of the missing Lord Hegemon was found.
During the Unity celebrations, the people of Tion were kept in the dark about their leader’s plight despite their many questions and lack of Hegemon sightings. Nothing was to be allowed to dampen the holiday festivities, but all the while, Lady Barefoot and her closest confidants were demanding increasingly larger stretches of Desargorr VI to be scouted. The Lord Hegemon's extended absence had been put down to illness, fatigue, romance, and even insanity. It was on Day 305 at the close of the unity celebrations that GTNG was notified of the ongoing search. Twenty days later, a special assembly of the High Council gathered at the Hegemonial Palace on Voss Prime along with Lady Barefoot and officially called-off the search and rescue teams.
It was at this gathering of the Tionese leadership, that Lady Stephanie would be sworn-in as the fourth leader of the Hegemony, the first Lady Hegemon. Transition of leadership was arranged for Day 328. Breaking with all past tradition, GTNG was allowed exclusive access to observe the signing of the Desargorr Accord by now-Hegemon, Stephanie Barefoot. Each High Councilor in attendance signing as witness of this sorrowful but historic moment. Issuing a brief statement afterwards, Lady Hegemon Barefoot spoke solemnly about her sudden and unexpected ascension.
"Lord Takao Asai was the one who taught me the most about government life and planetary economics. I frankly owe everything to his teachings. I join all of Tion in their grieving for the loss of our leader, as I do for my long-time personal friend. But I can assure you, I will do my absolute utmost to continue to build on the work set upon by my predecessors. I am dedicated to seeing the Hegemony surge forward on a path of unlimited prosperity and unity for all Tionese. Tion will remain a neutral force within the galaxy, a committed member of the Galactic Concordiate, and a never fading beacon for all that is good in this galaxy!"
Following signing of the Desargorr Accord and her first official Hegemonial address, Lady Hegemon Barefoot, joined by her wife and their two children, hurried to Voss III where she welcomed the new head of Tion Engineering and Construction, now-Director Kulton Duine, to his new headquarters, before swiftly returning to Meeshae to hold the first High Council session of her tenure.
In the month since her official transition to power, Lady Barefoot has called for changes among the sitting High Council as well as over seen the inclusion of the newly re-discovered Kazarak system.
Among the most influential changes within the Tionese leadership was the naming of former Tion Military and Science Industries President, Abraari To as Chancellor. Sir To was succeeded at TMSI by long-time acting Vice President Stig`ray Morvo. In addition, former First Fleet Admiral William Radcliff was appointed Hyperion, Minister of Defense, his successor in First Fleet to be named early in the new year.
For those outside the Tion Cluster, who may not have heard of our Lady Hegemon, Stephanie Barefoot made her name as the revolutionary head of Tion Engineering and Construction. She oversaw the largest economic development period in the history of Tion, painstakingly driving the Cluster back into prosperous times following the meltdown of the galactic markets only a few short years ago. Her never ceasing energy for developing our worlds and indeed, even those outside Tion, were the envy of many. How different she must feel from the orphan that was raised on Tatooine, who briefly flirted with criminality, journalism, and even medicine, to finally become the head of a mighty government.
The reporters and staff at GTNG join our fellow Tionese in applauding our newest Hegemon on her accomplishments thus far in her position. This has been Lianna Corvae for the Greater Tion News Group, reporting this pivotal evolution of our beloved Hegemony. May we forever be Tionese, united and prosperous.
