Greetings Fellow Republicans,


It is with a sad heart that I greet you. This is my final State of the Republic, with just a few weeks left in my term. I want to thank you for the opportunity you have given me to be your leader. It has been the highest honor of my life to serve the New Republic in its highest office, and it is one I will look back upon fondly. As I hand the cushy chair over to CoS Elect Sunfell, I reflect upon several of the events that have defined my term. While there have been some difficult stretches, I will remember the good times. But enough of the ol' Zeff's ranting, on to what you all are really here for, the State of the Republic!


Let's start off with a quick award. I am pleased to present Airea Ski`tak with the recruitment award. She has put forth a great effort in a lot of the recent billboards you have seen around the galaxy, as well as many of the banners across the galaxy. Thank you for all your hard work!


In a tragic turn of events, our long time friends and allies of The Antarian Rangers have suffered a betrayal at the hands of Black Sun. This is something we can relate to, having experienced a similarly heinous act a few years ago. Our response was quick, and we have done what we could to help them regain their feet. We will continue to work with them to take down the Empire. Our military is to be congratulated for our quick and effective response, which undoubtedly saved many lives that would have been claimed by the vile Black Sun.


With Taka taking over as Minister of Trade and Industry, we have another matter to attend to. Gavin Kaos served the New Republic with dignity and fervor. He is an example we can all look up to as a Citizen. With that in mind I hereby award Gavin with the Hydian Star of Excellence. Congrats Gavvy! You’ve earned it!


Make sure you register to vote for the upcoming Senate elections. Voting is one of the most precious freedoms we have, and I expect a very high turnout for this election. If you qualify, and are interested in running I encourage you to take your next step in the New Republic. Being a senator is a tough job, but one that is very rewarding.


Without getting too long winded, I have some more awards to give out.


From our mining juggernaut, Juganoth Mining Corp. we have several. These boys haul a lot of earth, and certainly deserve some recognition once in a while. Starting off we have three people who are receiving the Promising Recruit award:

They all deserve this award for showing great interest and dedication to the company with their above average work.


The next award is the Prospector Excellence award, which also has three recipients.

With that, I conclude my last speech to you. I'm not sure where the galaxy will take me after my term, but I won't be a stranger. Long Live the Republic!
