Krallet Division

"Major Acota: I'm going to ask you once more. And unless you want my associate to do that again, you're going to answer me. Who gave you that order?

Jilo Del: [coughing] You never heard of client privilege? If I give you names, I'm out of business.

[searing noises, followed by screaming]

Jilo Del: All right, fine. Fine! No credits are worth this. It was Admiral Hyshiri. She was very clear. No survivors. No witnesses... Not that I needed that much convincing.

Major Acota: Thank you... Jilo, was it? I wasn't expecting it from a mercenary, but you've been most helpful. So helpful, in fact, that I'd like to propose an arrangement.

Jilo Del: No thanks. If this is what taking Imperial credits gets me, then I'm not interested.

Major Acota: Really? I'm offering you the chance to lead your own company of soldiers. Little to no oversight, access to state-of-the-art weaponry, and your pick of targets. Not to mention, triple the amount Hyshiri was paying you. Or... my associate can kill you.

[silence]

Jilo Del: Do I at least get to pick the name?"

Republic Diplomatic Corps

In a territory as sprawling and diverse as the Galactic Republic, ensuring that every citizen exists civilly alongside their neighbor is no easy feat. But maintaining a precarious accord with outside influences is just as important--and just as difficult--as keeping the peace within the Republic's borders.

At any given time, legions of ambassadors, diplomats, and negotiators are hard at work, building and nurturing valuable relationships with systems and worlds inside--and outside--of the Republic.

Obstacles are rampant in the field of diplomacy: one wrong word or gesture to a particular species could spell disaster for the Republic's most profitable fuel supplier, or it could crumble a trade route that, for many worlds, is a lifeline. Some representatives even risk their lives by entering perilous territories in order to form a new relationship.

Because of these difficulties, the Republic Diplomatic Corps is tasked with supporting diplomatic representatives with the necessary training and resources. In addition to helping funnel credits and gifts to any associates who would be influenced by such incentives, the Republic Diplomatic Corp provides lessons in etiquette, rhetoric, and basic combat to handle the potential allies that are harder to sway.

Selkath Isolationists: The Syphus Collective

Although each of the Selkath isolationists share the same long-term goals, the movement emerged from a small organization whose members held vastly different motivations. Religious zealots blindly dedicated to the Progenitor, conservationists turned eco-terrorists, narrow-minded traditionalists, and anti-war extremists all joined what came to be called the "Syphus Collective," as every member of the group was an adherent of the teachings of Ahto University professor, Narlan Syphus.

Doctor Syphus taught that Manaan, with its varied species depending on one another, was one collective "organism." Syphus also believed that the galaxy--along with its corrupting influences--was a dangerous ecosystem in which Manaan struggled to compete and survive against bigger, more dangerous "organisms."

Syphus's teachings spread and recruitment in the Syphus Collective grew exponentially as the Republic and Empire, once again locked in heated military conflict, turned their gaze to Manaan's valuable resources. When the Syphus Collective implored Manaan's government to allow the two factions to destroy each other and leave the Selkath in peace, they were soundly ignored. In response, the Syphus Collective took up arms against the invading Republic and Imperial forces, as well as any Selkath who did not share their desire to isolate Manaan from the dangers of the "galactic ecosystem."
