Following lengthy discussions between the various leaders of the now defunct Alliance, a new constitution was written into law, defining the structure of the new Galactic Alliance. Three representatives were chosen to lead as the Executive branch. To represent the civilian population of the GA, the male Mon Calamari known as Kitax Wulbull was chosen. He had earned his place during the founding negotiations of the GA. To represent the Military branch, the female Corellian Rune Starfire was chosen. It had come down to a close decision between her and Victor. But he knew his place was not amongst the leadership and had conceded to Rune. And finally, to represent the Jedi High Council, the female Togrutan known as Jedi Master Ashakaa Daabris had been chosen. She was to serve as Grand Master Aerandir Calmcacil's eyes, ears, and voice at all times when he was not present on Mon Calamari.
The Office of the Triumvirate was designed such that one central reception area served the three separate offices, allowing each of the three leaders privacy to deal with matters pertaining to their area of expertise. A fourth door lead to a joint meeting room where they could all meet and work together when the situation calls for it

The turbolift came to a stop as it reached the Offices level. Kitax once again lead the way out of the turbolift and over towards his office. He made his way over to the large window behind his desk. Pressing a button, the opaque glass became translucent. Revealing a view down into the senate chambers themselves. From here, Kitax could watch the meeting of the Senate
So tell me, Princess. What do you know of the Galactic Alliance?

It is the Galaxy's latest attempt at unified democracy. It is trying to learn from the mistakes of those that came before it. She had more to say but chose to keep it to herself for now.

Kitax chuckled a little at such a simplistic overview to the question he asked. Indeed, that was a part of their mission. But that was not all
It is that, and so much more... It is the bulwark that stands against the First Order, and any other government that aims to oppress and force others into submission. Everyone has a place and home within our borders... You are correct though. We are trying to learn from the mistakes of the Republic, so that we might fight this war and avoid becoming what the Republic once was... A body so immobilised by its processes that it could not act when it was needed to. Something we have avoided with the Galactic Alliance. Where once the Senate was the controlling power, allowing corruption to fester and gain a hold, that is no longer the case...
Kitax motioned to the Senate floor outside the window
The Senate no longer has the extensive powers it once did. It is the legislative body of the Alliance. It can vote in and vote out laws, as the Alliance requires. They can propose trade deals, and induct new member worlds. But that is where their power ends. The executive powers rest with myself, Rune Starfire, and Ashakaa Daabris. Instead of waiting for the Senate to vote on what move we make next, the three of us meet to coordinate the war effort. And ensure that what needs to get done, is done... We of course have an advisory council and contact from the Senate. But we very much operate as separate bodies. Concentrating on the tasks assigned to us... Meanwhile, the Polis of Law stands as the watchmen of the government. Keeping an eye on everything both we and the Senate do. Ensuring it is within our powers to do so. It is they, who will ensure we never fall back to the corruption and abhorrent abuse of power that was so rife within the Republic...

That is noble... But I believe every government ever formed has had those goals, at least publicly. Even the first Empire, they destroyed my people's home not long after making such a declaration. The young woman smiles, that came out heavier than she meant it. Sorry, I am here because I think you have the best chance to achieve that goal or at least last longer than what came before you.
Is my coming here an admittance that military resistance to the First Order is the best option? If so let me know so I can take my leave. I will not make my people, our peaceful world more of a target than it already is...

Palpatine was also accountable only to himself. And he was a Sith...
He could understand her reluctance and cynicism. The Republic had failed to uphold such ideals repeatedly. The previous Galactic Alliance had also been fraught with its own issues. But then, that was because the Imperials had gotten on the inside
Do not be sorry. The Alderaanians have been through more than most. And suffered at the hands of failed governments. But I do hope that we can live up to your expectations... As to your question. Your presence here is merely an admittance that Alderaan does not wish to become a slave to the First Order. But do not get me wrong Princess. What the First Order views it as, will differ entirely... And what ever action, or inaction, you take will not change how much of a prize the First Order views you as. They are a military complex. The only thing they understand, is military might. Something we can more easily match them in, now that we have a central government and military... You have my word, that if you should decide to join the Galactic Alliance, we will ensure that Alderaan is protected by some of our best...

In exchange for what? That is the big question Triumvir. This what the information she really wanted. Do you expect regiments of Alderaaninan soldiers, pilots, and crew? If that is what you are after, you will be severely disappointed. We have no army or navy. Our defense force, if you could call it that, is intelligence based. Some of my people will be happy to join up, and they will, of course, be allowed to. Also, if you plan on using Alderaan as a base or garrison, I can assure you that will not be allowed. No weapons may touch our planets surface, and I can say it will take a lot of convincing to allow ships into our space.
None of this I assume is news to you, however, so what is it you want from us or me?
Alderaan was still a prize. Its wealth and resources had much to offer. She was also aware that she had developed a reputation for negotiating and leading.
She had done a job with Coruscant that most thought impossible.

The rumours about you were not exaggerated Princess....
Kitax took a seat behind his desk, whilst motioning for Standash to take one of the seats just in front of it. This conversation was doubtless to be a long one. Something best done while seated and relaxed
You're right. I was all too aware that Alderaan had taken a rather... hard left turn. But that is their choice, and their choice alone to make. Did I expect regiments? most certainly not. Nor would I expect any world to make such a contribution. Do I hope that each world will contribute that much? of course. War's are complex things, and keeping the First Order at bay is no easy task. Each and every one of us needs to understand that fact. From that starting point, we can then figure out how each world can best contribute to the Galactic Alliance...
Kitax activated a control panel on his desk, causing a holo image of the galaxy to appear in mid air above the desk between them
At present, we have nearly a dozen systems and associated governments allied together. Everyone provides a resource from their world. Whether it be soldiers, supplies, ships, or even currency...
Different sets of worlds were highlighted as he mentioned their specialities. The map then changed view to show the red space held by the First Order and the green space held by the Galactic Alliance. Orange shading showed known Mandalorian Worlds, whilst Purple shaded the Infinite Imperium. Solid coloured lines ran across the borders of each factions controlled space. With a final circle centering on Aldeeraan's location
Given Alderaan's relative location to Mon Calamari, and location deep within GA territory, there would not be much need to post any sizeable force there... at least currently. Unless the borders shifted such that the First Order was a system or two away, Alderaan would remain safe with a small patrol fleet that could call in reinforcements... And if that would require you to convince people to allow, I trust you can make them understand that it is better to have a Galactic Alliance fleet sitting in orbit, than having the First Order with boots on the ground and removing their government...
Being as restrictive as Alderaan was about no weapons on the surface, would make defending the world difficult. But not impossible. Though, with the threat of the First Order descending upon their world and caring little for their views on weapons on their surface, it might be enough to build some trust over time
We would also ensure that any vessels assigned to Alderaanian space would maintain crews consisting primarily of Alderaanian natives... But as to what it is that we want in return... Alderaan's support, in what ever form it may come. Money, resources, intelligence. One more world standing with us, is one less world to feed the First Order war machine...
He pressed another button on the control panel, causing the holo map to disappear, allowing an unobstructed view
There is, however, something that you can also do... You're a masterful politician, and the Galactic Alliance Senate could use someone like yourself, as its Chair person...

Taking her seat she listens intently. None of this was news to her. She was prepared to make it happen. There were people at home who would not be happy about a patrol force, but they could either be persuaded, ignored or kept in the dark. This was all standard. Alderaan carried with its influence, many worlds depended on them for trade. She was after what Kitax was personally after. He was going after her with a sales pitch that didn't match what Alderaan could offer. Of course, I think all of that could be done. My people are ready to do their part.
And there it was. He wasn't after Alderaan, as much as he was after her. She started to feel flattered but pushed that feeling deep down. She had experience few here had, despite her age. She had skills that a new government would need. That is what I was wanting to know. You would be hard-pressed to find a senator to actually nominate me. Many, possibly most agree with what I did to the Republic, but finding someone to come out so publicly to nominate me for Chair? I wouldn't know where to start. There are also those that would actively oppose my nomination. It could cost worlds. Corellia for starters. I can't imagine Demitri taking that laying down.
And what is the point of a Chair in a government with a Triumvir? Facilitate debate? Be a chief diplomate?

Kitax was quite certain that Standash underestimated the resolve of those that now were apart of the Galactic Alliance. But he did agree that her appointment may cause friction between some senators. Especially those that still held grudges over her disbanding the Republic
Standash, you are in the heart of a government filled predominately with people who felt as you do. When the Alliance was founded, they could have chosen to reinstitute the Republic, but they did not. When we banded together to form the Galactic Alliance, they could have again chosen to create the Republic once more. But they didn't. If you can't find one person to nominate you, then you won't have asked everyone. Senator Starmane, the representative for the Federation of the Double World would happily do it. The Senator for Mon Calamari would also nominate you. And while Dmitri might not taking it laying down, I have faith in you to work it out. It will all come down to whether he is truly looking out for the security of his people, or if he wants to nurse an old grudge and be left out in the cold when the First Order knocks on his front door... As to what a Chair does... You'd be the head of the senate. You would indeed facilitate debates, work to ensure the Senators work together for the betterment of the Galactic Alliance. And yes, on occasion, act as the chief diplomat. You would be in charge of helping integrate new worlds into the Alliance, and ensuring cooperation betweeen member worlds...

It was a step up, and it was a job she was capable of doing. The Triumvir kept her from holding any real power, but it had no limits on her influence. She would accept. If you think it will be that easy Triumvir Wulbull, I will accept the job. Your confidence in me means a lot.
Was there anything else you needed from me? It seems that getting my office set up has found a need to be expedited if I am to take on that role.

Kitax was quite pleased she had accepted. Though, he had been pretty sure from the get go that she wouldn't decline the offer. He had seen politicians like her before. She was ambitious, and she had the guile to back it up
No, that will be all Princess Thul. Thank you for your time...
He motioned towards the door, which opened, allowing her to leave

No thank you. She stands up, her dress shimmers in the light as she moves. Please forward any files you think I need to look over to my office.
She takes her leave. and heads to her new office.

A message arrives, a GA diplomat is invited to negotiate the entry of Krennel Gulch and his allies into the GA. Their embassy should attend Geonosis.

Krei stepped into the offices before sizing up the Triumvir standing in front of him. Bowing slightly, he began to speak, the deep tones of his voice filling the air.
“Greetings, honorable Triumvir. I have come before you seeking an audience.”

Krei straightened up, assuming a rather casual stance. This would be necessary in order for the Triumvir to see him as a human, and therefore friendly.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Baron Alfeus Demici Krei from Coruscant. I am here because I believe that the Galactic Alliance military forces are missing something. Though they are no doubt powerful, they are missing a more... subtle branch. Seeing as the civil war that started with the Battle of Dantooine finally, at least by my observations, appears to be drawing to a close, I believe a Special Operations Unit may be of use to further the interests of the Galactic Alliance.”
He placed the case onto the table.
“Using such a force, it would be easier to capture important or strategic information without creating too much of a racket.”

A Coruscanti Baron. Well that was certainly something you did not see everyday. She studied the man as he spoke. Noting the Galactic Alliances apparent lack of a Spec Ops program. Her feelings on his statements were somewhat torn. On the one hand, if it did exist, it made sense that they would not be well known of. But on the other, he was correct. The GA was missing any such program. A big part of that reason, being that the GA was still in its infancy. Such things needed time to be begun.
The ongoing war with the First Order and the somewhat rapid formation of the GA had not left much time for the government to get its feet comfortably on the ground. The Military was still making the formal change over, while new worlds were being adopted into the overarching government. If anything, by her own measure, there did not seem to be an end in sight for the war any time soon. But it was possible she was wrong. It was not something she had spent much time considering
Is that so? By your observations? Perhaps you are right. Perhaps you are wrong. Things have certainly calmed down in recent days...
Her gaze lingered upon the case that Alfeus placed on the table, before returning to the man
In either case, a Special Operations Unit would most certainly be useful. There is much to be learned about the First Order using such a unit. And I presume you wish to lead such a unit?

“You assumes correct, Triumvir...”
The baron pulled out a holoprojector and activated it, displaying a readout of what he had and what he needed.
“I have the ships and manpower already ready for deployment. All I will need is a direct line to report information. The last thing we need is valuable intelligence getting convoluted or getting lost while in the chain of command. I will also need the proper codes so my vessels can come and go without getting shot down.”
He closed the projector and walked over so that he was closer to the desk.
“Such a unit will make your forces more effective in countering the First Order, especially in times of relative peace with it. In the meantime, I would like to offer you a chance to send an envoy to inspect my reasources, and, as a token of my good will towards your organization, this.”
He entered an 8 digit combination into the side of the box, and after a moment it popped open. Spinning the case so it opened towards Starfire, he opened it, revealing a red velvet cloth covering something long and thin. Carefully removing the folds of cloth, he peeled back the final layer, revealing a Duelists Vibrorapier. With a pure platinum hilt, velvet grip, and platinum-plated durasteel blade, it was a nearly priceless weapon, befitting of the best military leader in the galaxy. And as far as he was concerned, she fit that description. Kind yet stern, she was the perfect balance of what was needed in a Field Marshall.
“This vibrorapier was carefully forged during the age of the Old Republic. It is only fitting that you get it.”
