| Spirakris ZaremHello, patriot. I hope you remain dedicated to the protection of the true Republic. It's fantastic, isn't it? I mean the Senate tower. I was raised there. My father was an admiral and my mother was a Senator, but they were both killed during the war.Barsen'thorThat's tragic. I'm sorry to hear it.Spirakris ZaremDon't be. They gave their lives to protect this great Republic.I'm sorry - my name is Spirakris Zarem. I used to be military, then a diplomat. But not anymore. Now, I represent a group of loyal citizens, willing to go to any length to protect the true Republic from its enemies.MeteorWhat exactly is the "true Republic"?Spirakris ZaremThe true Republic is the one based on ideals - on the principles that carried us through history. Until now. I won't lie to you. The members of my organization prefer to remain anonymous, but we are patriots from all levels of society. Dangerous radicals are about to make a massive power play in the Senate. Senator Glearius Parvil is gathering support to break ties with the Jedi and establish an alliance with the Sith Empire.Hero of TythonWhy would the Republic break ties with the Jedi?Spirakris ZaremBecause your order would never agree to an alliance with the Empire, and that's what the Senator wants. And Parvil actually believes he's trying to save the Republic.MeteorSeems like everybody's jumping ship these days.Spirakris ZaremNo doubt. First it was just some fringe star systems, but now it's happening a lot closer to home.VoidhoundCan't say I'd want to worry about Imperial law enforcement....Spirakris ZaremNo. I imagine not, Captain. So I hope you can help.If the Senator gets his way, it would mean the end of everything the Republic stands for. My colleagues discovered a way to expose Parvil's plan to the public; turn the political tide against this insanity. But our one shot's about to pass us by. Parvil's put us all on Senate security's watch list. We can't even get near the tower.MeteorYou said "your one shot." You have an idea....Spirakris ZaremYou mean you might actually be willing to help us?A diplomatic parcel is being delivered to Senator Parvil's office. All you'd have to do is steal the parcel and smuggle it out to me. Will you do it?Hero of TythonOur duty is to serve the Senators, not steal from them.Spirakris ZaremYou'll be serving the Empire if Senator Parvil gets his way. You must stop him.VoidhoundSounds like a good way to get myself killed.Spirakris ZaremNot at all. We have a plan in place. The risk is minimal.We can reward you for your help. I don't know if that changes anything... A courier droid is delivering the documents to Senator Parvil. Use this scrambler box and it'll hand the parcel to you. Just intercept it before it reaches his office. I'll be waiting here. |

| Senator Parvil's PageStop right there! I see what you're doing. How dare you accost the Senator's courier droid? Stealing documents - what's the matter with you? This is the heart of the Republic, the greatest bastion of democracy in the galaxy!VoidhoundI don't know what you're talking about.Senator Parvil's PageDon't lie! We both know you came here to sabotage Senator Parvil's work. I know you people and your drivel about protecting the "true" Republic. However unpopular Senator Parvil's ideas might be, the principles of the Republic give him the freedom to express those ideas.Hero of TythonThe Senator's ideas would destroy the Republic.Senator Parvil's PageYou don't speak for the Republic, Jedi. Your own order's outdated ideals cause more harm than good.MeteorYou mean let a traitor spread his lies? Not in my Republic.Senator Parvil's PageListen to yourself. This is "our" Republic, not "yours."VoidhoundAnd I have the freedom to stop him.Senator Parvil's PageNot according to the laws of the Republic, you don't. Your opinion of Senator Parvil's ideas doesn't matter. The issues should be decided by political discourse, not political sabotage.Barsen'thorI suppose.Senator Parvil's PageExactly. Thank you. If you take the Senator's documents, you spit on everything the Republic stands for. But... the real culprits here are the paranoid fanatics you've gotten yourself tangled up with.VoidhoundWe don't even know who they are.Senator Parvil's PageWhich is precisely why you should feel no allegiance to them whatsoever. Senator Parvil has every right to exercise his political ideas. It would be criminal to steal his parcel. I have this parcel of out-dated agricultural revenue documents. Give me the Senator's parcel and take these to your friends instead.MeteorAll right, The Senator can continue... for now. We'll take back the fakes. |

| Spirakris ZaremThere you are. I was beginning to worry Senate security was causing you trouble. How did it go? Did you get Parvil's documents?Hero of TythonThere was a complication - a Senate page found me.Spirakris ZaremIt doesn't matter. So long as you have the evidence we need. I'm glad you pulled it off. You deserve a medal for this, you know. Rest easy knowing Senator Parvil's motion will never pass.MeteorThat was a one-time deal.Spirakris ZaremWhether you're proud of it or not, you are a hero of the true Republic. |

Summary
|
This event took place shortly before the end of the Cold War.As the Cold War dragged on, some members of the Galactic Senate grew weary of the stalemate. While milling around the Senate Plaza's taxi pad, Spirakris Zarem discovered a plot by Senator Glearius Parvil to introduce legislation that would break the Republic's ties with the Jedi Order and instead offer alliance to the Sith Empire. In order to prevent this, Zarem - who was a member of a movement known as the True Republic - asked a group of Republic operatives to enter the Senate Tower, sabotage the Senator's courier droid, and steal a particular parcel that would serve as evidence against him. Because she was on Senate Security's watch list, she could not enter the building herself.Upon trying to steal the parcel the operatives were caught by a Senate page who did not approve their actions against the Republic's regulations - and who was secretly a supporter of the Sith Empire and hoped for the senator's plan to succeed. He demanded that the operatives return the parcel of outdated agricultural documents in exchange for a fake parcel to lead the True Republic movement astray and maintain the democracy of the Republic.The operatives delivered a parcel of documents to Zarem afterwards. |
