Prefecture III to Elect New Senator 2/26/3134
INN - Interstellar News Network
SUKADE, OZAWA – Finally acknowledging the loss of Kev Rosse to his “private
agenda” with the newly-formed Spirit Cats military faction, officials at the Prefecture
III capital on Ozawa announced today that the process to start an emergency election
for a new Prefecture senator has been approved; part of the delay, of course, is due
to the ‘pony express’ system used to inform most of the likely candidates. With the
Prefecture-wide election now scheduled to commence next month, candidates are
already lining up for a shot at the empty seat in the Republican senate.
Ironically, the vote received overwhelming support at the emergency council session
held in Sukade, the Prefecture capital city, despite its location on Ozawa, a world even
now patrolled by Rosse’s Spirit Cat troops. The Spirit Cats captured Ozawa this past
February in a lightning blitzkrieg against Bannson Universal security forces, who had
claimed dominion since the departure of Duchess Katana Tormark and her Dragon’s
Fury faction. Ever since the conquest, the Cats have continued to make good on the
promises made by their local commander, Star Colonel Rikkard Nova Cat, not to
interfere with local government and administration, a promise that apparently holds
true for the world’s role as the Prefecture capital as well.
“Not only do we support this move,” said Nova Cat, “but I believe I speak for
[Galaxy Commander Rosse] when I say we embrace it. That the path we tread upon
may no longer be one in the same is a tragedy, yet it is heartening to know that The
Republic can find its own way even as we continue to seek our own.”
Anticipating the approval of emergency elections from Sukade, nobility from all
around Prefecture III have thrown their hats in the proverbial ring for a shot at the
vacant senate seat, a remarkable sign of faith in The Republican government despite
the ongoing communications crisis. Among the most noteworthy candidates on the
ballot so far are Lord Jinjiro Worthington, and Lady Rene Oscar, governors of Cylene
and Towne respectively, as well as Baron Montel Rafaello, ruler of the Juniper
continent on Mallory’s World.
At this stage, it remains too early to tell who among so many candidates will be
expected to run, much less claim the senate seat, but the decision to permit the
emergency election—the first held since the untimely death of Senator Noah Fletcher
in office back in 3112—finally resolves the question of how long Prefecture III will
go without full representation in the Republican Senate.
