END OF AUTONOMY ERA

 

The era of change within Setnin, as she settles into the confines of the New Republic.  And yet other neighbouring sectors still remain free, and closely watch Setnin with envious eyes and cold hearts...

 

Sixteen years after Battle of Yavin

 

SETNIN SECTOR APPROACHES COLLAPSE

 

-         The Setnin Sector approaches collapse due to the disastrous situation.

-         The New Republic dispatches Jedi Knight Joah-Qui-Lan to negotiate a deal with the Setnin Authorities. The Senate agrees to send ships and equipment to help the Setnin Sector remain stable, as long as key Setnin worlds rejoin the New Republic negating its autonomy. It also agrees to make certain the Zobians are not allowed to become a threat to the sector again.

 

END OF SETNIN SECTOR AUTONOMY

 

-         The Setnin Sectors era of autonomy comes to an official end after forty-eight years.  After several weeks of negotiation and a sector-wide referendum, Governor Ocern Gabe of the Chancai Trade Centre and the Senator of Zelon, B’Rell Kuulerr sign the agreement, known as the Setnin Re-integration Accord.

-         Zelon becomes the first of many worlds to officially rejoin the New Republic.  Others follow, but key worlds like Janos and Halando refuse.

-         The Setnin Re-integration Accord is ratified by the Senate.

-         Luschia returns to Euphoria Station after her unsuccessful operation on Amagad to find that the Re-Integration Accord has been signed. In a fit of rage she calls Ocern Gabe and tells him of her displeasure. Gabe had attempted to find her but she was planet-hopping and the situation required immediate resolution. He believes he has done it for the best, but Luschia can only see the law of the New Republic clamping down on the relaxed laws of the Setnin Sector and destroying Setnin’s identity. She condemns him and the Setnin Authorities and storms from the station.

-         Luschia Arkensaw heads back to Amagad to spend time with Bessa Cipple, who she has forged a friendship with.

-         As Luschia comes into Amagads atmosphere a pre-recorded message initiates, stating that the peace treaty cannot go ahead and that Dressel will not allow it. Realising she is in immediate danger Luschia desperately tries to find the hidden explosive but it explodes before she can locate it, knocking out the ships engines. The ship dives towards the planet’s surface and Luschia communicates to Bessa Dressel’s treachery. She has the chance to eject, but her ship is one-of-a-kind and Luschia, defiant to the last, tries to save her precious vessel.

NEW REPUBLIC GIVES IRON CLAWS DIFFICULTIES

 

-         The Iron Claws run into trouble with New Republic red tape.  Queen Tryxlla of Hellion declines to join the Republic because of their treatment of the Iron Claws.  Her intervention prevents the seizing of the majority of Iron Claw assets by Republic authorities, as the mercenary unit remains registered with a non-affiliated government.
