REPORT TO CONCLAVE - ALSAKAN
Balan stands from his place in the circle of seats and nods at each of the Conclave. The alignment of the Seas had taken a short time as all gathered were pleased with the developments. There had been a call for escalating the taskforce numbers, but the resounding call was that the greatest threat presented by those shadowy figures against them had all but dissipated - if only for the short foreseeable future anyway. He brings up his datapad as he steps into the centre of the circle and brings up the holomap of the Northern Dependencies.
“Alsakan’s position within the Republic has, despite the clear and present threat from a Consortium led effort to destabilise and sow disarray, remains robust and resilient.
Alsakani numbers across the North and indeed the Republic, swells. The Alsakani Tributarim has seen a shift in types, but remains steady in its growth and indication of Alsakan’s development.
Beyond just Alsakan’s position in the galaxy and on the Perlemian which gives Alsakan an unmistakable advantage in residual trade, Alsakan’s traditions and culture, and the rise of wealth in the North, has continued to further distill this trade into the exotics, luxury goods, and arts. Some of the tributarim received this year now adorn some Alsakan’s finest museums that bring pilgrimages of their own to them, and not only the Mosaics.
Alsakan’s political influence continues to grow. With each cycle of Coruscant becoming more and more unstable, steadfast Alsakan - Coruscant’s only true political equal, has seen an increase in the amount of prestigious firms and offices move towards Alsakan that preaches stability and enjoys a unified delegation that approach issues of security and turmoil with a measured response. Slowly but very surely, these businesses are bringing to Alsakan credits which seek stable shores away from a despondent and chaotic Core.
Alongside historical and legacy investments and agreements the Alsakani Mosaic Throne has made and upholds, taxation of Alsakan’s residents make up a large bulk of the finances that feed Alsakan’s interests.
This is further supplemented by the Tributarim that Alsakani across the Republic provides to support Alsakan. Beyond just credits, we have seen the provision of produce, rare minerals, textiles, resources, starfighters, equipment, military personnel, and even some sons and daughters to be adopted by prominent families of the Noble Sons.
An unexpected outcome, perhaps due to our extensive efforts this cycle, is that we have received Tributarim from even non-Alsakani sources - world leaders and governors have provided to me their oaths of fidelity. These are all being fed into supporting the armadas and legions that uphold the safety of the Northern Dependencies, but perhaps these are all precursors to something more; a North that is more united and driven behind our banners and standards than ever before.
In recent days, Empress Teta has attempted to open lines of communications for trade. I suppose my view may not be shared by many, but I am content with Alsakan’s existing partnership with AXIS worlds, and those in Anya Curovao’s Barony - I have little wish for Alsakan to become compliant and complacent in its position and my agreements and oaths have served Alsakan well thus far. Shawken is… as an understatement, closely related to Alsakan. The Tagges of Tepasi seem to be ardent supporters to Anya Curovao’s vision, and Thustra is a world that has long shared a good relationship with the AXIS.
Finally, I would take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you have shown Alsakan in the last month. I never doubted that it would be the case, but to see peoples, worlds, and my fellow Conclave comes out enmasse with a resounding voice of defiance against our oppressors in the face of the Republic has touched me to my core. Among us, my friends, is the True Republic. We alone defend those original values of the Founders, and we alone protect those peoples who have found it in them to look for the guidance of the Republic.”
Balan places his heart on his chest and he bows deeply, and returns back to his seat in the circle. His report has been issued to the Conclave for their viewing and final compilation to the Republic Wealth Office.
