The Sun shines over the capital of Cassander, a large crowd has gathered to witness as the venerable and popular Senator Avade speaks.

"Good day everyone, and what a day it is! Eight years in the Senate, the second longest job I've ever had!"He laughs"Being the Senator for my homeworld, has been an honor, working with the FSF to protect Cassander has not always been easy, but now, I must pass the baton on to the new generation! A wise man once said, Politicians are like diapers, they should be replaced as soon as they start being filled with shit."

He pauses for a laugh"Well, I feel it coming and I'm getting out before I lose touch. And that, is the warning I give my replacement. The job you are going for is seductive. It will want to trap you forever, and make you forget who you are and what you stand for, you must have strong will, a strong mind, and a patriotic duty to your people.

"He lowers his notes"While I was on Coruscant, I learned why the old Republic failed, Coruscant, is wonderful! It's incredible, it's amazing, you will be surrounded by wealthy people with incredible hobbies, you'll spend nights at the Opera and eat lavish meals from across the galaxy, you will have the option to live as royal without a care in the world, and it will always be there as an option, tempting you to forget why you're there. I was at a party one evening, and I was having a delightful drink with some incredible people, and one of the hosts asked me to support something, and, I honestly almost agreed just because I was having a good time, but as they started to leave I had the sense to ask, how did it benefit Cassander, they hesitated and said Cassander would benefit. After the party I looked into it, it goes completely contrary to our party's goals and the good of the people of Cassander,"

He hesitates for a minute."That is the danger of Coruscant, it draws you in, and makes you forget who you work for, which is why one should not stay there for long, and why I am proud to introduce the new Free Sector's Candidate for Cassander! A woman who fought with Honor in the Cassander Guard for years, who gave her limbs to protect us at Yaga Minor, a woman who's bravery and courage knows no bounds, and a woman who's resilience will stand against the corruption of Coruscant! May I present, Soon to be Senator Tala Rocor!"

Tala carefully stands and waves as the audience cheers, she shakes Senator Avade's hand before stepping up to the microphone."Thank you Senator, you have been an inspiration to me, and to all of us! The Free Sectors Faction stands for something, the belief that this galaxy works best by people choosing to help each other, not a galaxy that relies on a Central authority to force cooperation, a galaxy of good neighbors, not of tyrants and rulers. And that's the galaxy I want to build with you, with the FSF, Cassander has gone from a minor trading world, to a hub of culture and diamond of the Outer Rim! As your Senator, I vow to continue this and ensure the galaxy hears the voice of Cassander!"

There's cheering as she smiles"Our opponents deal with vague policies and politics, they promise everything because, they really stand on nothing more than vagaries themselves, supporting unclear social changes, policies that sound good at the moment and lack long-term thinking or values. The Free Sectors stands on a principle of keeping power in the hands of the sectors and limiting the Galactic Government to only a few, key roles that are enshrined in our Constitution. Our opponents can promise the galaxy anything they wish, because they don't have a plan, as time goes on and they promise everyone more and more, either they'll become liars, or tyrants. Our platform is stable, it stands for you, for power to be held by you, not hidden in palaces on Coruscant. With that I must thank you for coming, and thank you for your support! May we see four more years of Freedom here on Cassander and may the Force be with you!"
