Starkiller changed everything. The First Order was once just a joke to a majority of the New Republic. Disregarded as the dying embers of the Empire. That Leia Organa had simply exaggerated their status as a threat. But Leia hadn’t. The unveiling of Starkiller Base, the destruction of the Hosnian system proved that.
The loss of the Hosnian system shook the New Republic, the Senate. The galaxy. Following the destruction of the killer planet, senators were mourned, vigils were held and memorials were created in honor of the innocents lost. It was all that news would cover, galaxy wide.
But the New Republic couldn’t stay out of commission long. The galaxy was at war once again. In the year following, senators were replaced, Coruscant was once again named the home of the Senate, for the time being, anyway. The New Republic put more funding into Leia Organa’s Resistance, finally recognizing the Order as a threat. Citizens all over volunteered their support for the Resistance.
But just as many pledged their allegiance to the sinister First Order.
Elena Hael was the appointed Senator of Reulia, a planet in the Mid Rim, bordering the Outer. A planet that had remained neutral until then. despite Elena was known to be critical of the New Republic. It had its flaws and she pointed them out. That it was simply the Galactic Republic reborn. She had no faith that the Republic’s Resistance could keep her planet safe. Starkiller Base was just the tip of the iceberg.
And so she stood then, in the hangar of the Capitol building, awaiting the arrival of the First Order. She dressed in a black jumpsuit, pant legs straight and stopping just above her ankles. A blazer just as black was worn over it to cover her arms. Heeled ankle boots, shiny but matching the rest of her outfit, added to the five feet and eight inches she stood without them. Her makeup was unimpressive, almost as if she wasn’t wearing any. But the gold eyeliner around her green eyes gave it away. Dirty blonde hair was half up. A bun sat on the top of her head with a gold accessory shaped like a leaf keeping it secured, while the rest fell down her back, straight.
Bland. Especially for Reulia, a planet that enjoyed showing off the abundance of metals and gems that were mined from within the planet. Elena had worn much more extravagant things, but this was not the occasion.
She’d been given the task of greeting the visitors, and so she would. In the company of her assistant and many of the guards. This meeting was supposed to be quiet and peaceful, under the radar. But one could never be too careful. And that’s why she was the one greeting them and not the queen. In case the Order did not follow through on the peace.
Even though Elena was playing the role of errand girl, it would be known that she would be quite the deciding factor. The Queen was kind and meant well, and that was the issue. Someone had to be firm and strategic and that happened to be Elena Hael.
