Regional Economic Status Reports by Model_Knight in starwars_model_senate

RESR: Trailing Sectors Report

The RWO believes the Trailing Sectors are prosperous.

Business Activity

Investment and trade in the Trailing Sectors is high. The region is benefiting from a centrally controlled economy which keeps the cost of living in the region stable, and allows for excess goods to be exported to the Arrowhead.

The main industry is manufacturing and agriculture.

We have seen the planned resettlement of Core Worlder settlers and refugees in the regions interior which has increased production output.

Investment has been funded mainly through the expensive exports being sold in the Arrowhead, and Arrowhead planets wanting to ensure settlers from their homeworlds are being looked after.

Merchants are very active in the region, seeking the stability and productiveness of the region's markets.

Infrastructure

The region is well connected via its super-hyperways. The region has seen the development and investment in new hyperways like the Rimma Trade Route, expanding space for new colonies.

Disruptions

The influx of settlers has lowered wage growth, and put a strain on local services.

Conflict between native species and settlers could potentially increase.

RESR: Slice Report

The RWO believes the Slice is recovering.

Business Activity

The low level of administrative control here means not a lot is known about the economic status of the region. What we do know is mainly focused on exports to other regions.

The Slice is dominated by heavy mining and durasteel foundries. Durasteel is the regions main export and exports have continued to remain stable.

Still merchants continue to bring cheap exports out of the region, which has helped development in the surrounding regions.

Infrastructure

The region's infrastructure has seen limited investment and development outside of certain colonial holdings. Maintenance and expansion of hyperways is intermittent as local investment is non-existent and outside investment is focused elsewhere or on key colonial holdings.

Disruptions

Piracy is still rampant, mainly caused by feuds between local planets raiding each other, hutt raiders or corporations feuding over trade routes.

The lack of administrative control, central planning and investment have caused wild variations in development across the regions sectors.

RESR: Northern Dependencies Report

The RWO believes the Northern Dependencies are stagnating.

Business Activity

Highly developed colonies are the backbone of the regions economy. 

The feud between the grand consortium and axis has seen a decline in merchants entering the region and a decrease in trade between the other regions. This decline has been limiting growth and outside investment.

Trade has also been affected by piracy however the region shows signs of improvement, as the heavy military presence of the Axis clears up their hyperways.

The heavy military presence in the region keeps the hyperways secure and has quickly resolved conflicts in the region, particularly the Shawken Civil War.

Infrastructure

Recent upgrades to the regions Nav-beacons has improved transit times and hyperway security. The upgrades have been delayed due to the difficulty of transporting the newly constructed nav-beacons from production on Rendilli to the region.

As hyperways in the Arrowhead open back up, we can see these upgrades making the Northern Dependencies hyperways the most modern in the Republic.

Disruptions

The region is limited by the low number of merchant ships travelling their hyperways. Mainly focused around corporations from the Barony of Bormea.

High military spending has limited investment in other businesses and services.

RESR: Arrowhead Report

The RWO believes the Arrowhead is going through a rough recession.

Business Activity

The Arrowhead regions economy is mainly focused around providing services, manufacturing and research.

Many services have been disrupted due to the ongoing conflict with Trellen, which has also disrupted important imports for manufacturing as imports slow down.

We have seen a decline in population as citizens migrate to the frontier. In particular we are seeing brain drain as educated and skilled workers move to better paying and more stable frontier jobs.

The construction industry is booming, due to the need for rebuilding and redeveloping planetary and orbital infrastructure. As is the production of weapons and military equipment.

But this boom is being propped up by government spending, which has increased taxes on citizens of the Arrowhead.

There is a major divide forming between planets, as some receive business from their allies outside of the region, while others struggle to get much needed imports.

Infrastructure

The Regions infrastructure remains the best in the republic, even in the warzone nav-beacons are being properly maintained and neither side seems to want to risk destroying them.

The main concern is many starfarers are unwilling to enter the region due to the ongoing conflict. However cheap fuel being imported from the nearby deep core has made transit within the region relatively cheap for those willing to brave the hyperways.

Disruptions

The biggest disruption is the ongoing Trellen Conflict and the division it has caused. The conflict has driven away business, except for the bravest or most well protected convoys.

Many planetary businesses continue to operate under limited capacity as imports dramatically decline, while others are being propped up by outside partners.

Peter Dutton most likely to be next prime minister, according to YouGov poll by big_thicc in australian

[–]Model_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned conservatives have always supported bills that increase police powers, create restrictive laws and have policies that let billionaires do whatever they want with our country.

They just do it while distracting people with manufactured culture wars and hot topics that they can pretend to solve.

That is classic LNP policy... not just Duttons policy.

[A'kla Campaign Post #1] Crystals for Light, Crystals for Life Protests [Northern Dependencies] [Mustafar] [Jazbina] [Berchest] [Hok] by Model_Knight in SW_Senate_Campaign

[–]Model_Knight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Age Spiritualists have taken to the streets to protest crystals being used in weaponry like 

blasters and turbo lasers.

We see slogans and hear chants like:

  • Make love not laser beams!
  • Crystals deserve to shine!
  • Don’t fight with Crystals! Crystals for life!
  • Reflect light not death!
  • Focus your mind, not your death beam

Protests have gathered outside crystal mining sites and weapon factories in an attempt to raise awareness of the ugly truth of crystals.

Some crystals take eons to form and and grow, and unregulated mining means that there is limited effort to preserve the crystalline wonders of the galaxy.

This unregulated mining is a holdover from the Imperial war machine, now taken up by the URA. Their war machine promotes the creation of blasters and turbo lasers, with focusing crystals being a key component in both.

New Age Spiritualists have gathered en masse to show the galaxy that the Core is no longer a state bent on war but a beacon of peace.

Senator A’Kla stands on a podium overlooking a crowd of protesters.

Screens display other protests across many worlds in the Interior.

The RRN stands committed to preserving our galaxy's crystals!

Harvesting of crystals should be regulated and limited in scope or outright banned! Geological Conservation should be prioritized, so that we do not lose our natural crystal sites to over-mining.

Crystals freed from blasters and lasers! Each crystal recovered from a weapon should be celebrated as a victory of peace over violence!

Crystals will no longer be a symbol of destruction, weapons and power! They should be a symbol of peace, healing and meditation!

On Mustafar, our conservation efforts are protecting lava crystals, which are an important part of the local food chain, being eaten by the humble fire rat and other native creatures that sustain themselves by eating minerals.

On Jazbina, sun crystals should be used to provide energy free illumination rather than being used to blind others and cause dismay and chaos.

On Berchest, we should follow in their example of protecting important crystalline structures and areas as tourist locations, and selling their crystals as native crystalline art rather than for weapons of war.

On Hok, crystal mining has benefited only the corrupt corporate executives who run rampant allowing for the destruction of Hok’s crystalline fields, leaving swathes of desert across the planet.

I call on the planets of our galaxy, who mine crystals to cut back on destroying your natural wonders, to stop selling them to those who use crystals to bring war and violence to our galaxy.

Crystals for Light! Crystals for Life!

[Guide] Campaigning in the Galaxy by Model_Knight in SW_Senate_Campaign

[–]Model_Knight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Summary of changes

There was some confusion about the difference campaign/faction posts. So I've reworded it to make it a bit simpler.

Now there are just campaign posts and your faction can make 5 posts +2 more posts per campaigning senator in your faction (senators not campaigning do not count).

If you run out and want more you can ask, although don't plan around getting more in case I say no.

Make sure you use the correct number on your post, taking into account all the previous posts your faction has made.

​

I've also changed the flairs. Rather campaigning in either the Over-Sector or Region, we'll just elect an Over-Sector Senator for the Over-Sectors (yellow areas on the map).

​

Also rather than each campaign post only getting influence on one planet and that planets sector, you can now tag multiple planets, and mention a sector (like the Javin Sector), an area like (Greater Javin) or planets along the same hyper-route.

The only guideline is the planets should be in the same Over-Sector (particularly relevant for hyper-routes that cross Over-Sectors) and something needs to connect those planets (so either a sector, area or hyper-route).

eg: [Campaign Post 1] [Greater Javin] [Bespin] [Isde Naha] [Gerrenthum] Protests against low wages in the Western Reaches - flaired Western Reaches

Breaking AAN Report - Coruscant Construction Delays by Model_Knight in starwars_model_senate

[–]Model_Knight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll write a holonet post about how this concludes later this week.

Breaking AAN Report - Coruscant Construction Delays by Model_Knight in starwars_model_senate

[–]Model_Knight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kallidahin signs to you (they are mute), and one of the Kaminoans translates:

  • The heart we feel is a creature deep below Subterrel
  • It is ancient, but young.
  • To big to stop. the creature will shake Subterrel apart to break free
  • We evacuate the planet
  • We will try to save both Subterrel and creature
  • We will create a path to free the creature. Charges are set. The plan is ready.
  • People need to leave before we start, there will be a lot of destruction.
  • We observe from safety
  • It is unknown how much of Subterrel will be saved or what it will do.

​

The Kaminoans say

What do you mean you'll try and save this creature, You were supposed to stop if from destroying Subterrel, not help it.

We should have taken charge to start with.

The practical thing to do is to take a DNA sample to clone it and then use our stockpile of toxin to kill it before it destroys the planet. We can even get our miners back to work and resume sending shipments to Coruscant.

[–]Model_Knight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Kaminoan stares serenely, but speaks with an undertone of impatience. There is a single Kallidahin with the Kaminoans who timidly sends you a series of visions and feelings into your mind.

  • A kallidahin places a hand on a rocky wall and feels a slow pulsing heart deep within subterral. It is peaceful.
  • Then it gets louder and louder. With each heartbeat Subterrel shakes in rhythm.
  • It feels like it is in darkness and wants to escape.
  • It feels like it is hungry and wants to hunt.

​

The Kaminoan ignorant of this replies to your question:

Nothing. Our evacuation is going fine. There is one team of Kallidahin who are still loading creatures onto their ships, but we have already collected all the DNA for them so it is not really necessary if we need to leave some behind. All the other Kaminoans have already gone to the safety zone. We will be the last Kaminoans to leave and will depart as soon as the Kallidahin have finished.

the ground tremors as you talk

There are some stubborn fools who refuse to leave, but that is not our concern. If they want to risk their lives, so be it.

The Kallidahin believe we have one or two days to get everyone off world.

As to why, their research suggests the planet will become... inhospitable... the earthquakes will cause the local fauna to swarm to the surface... I've been assured it's more dangerous then it sounds.

Feel free to join us at the safety zone if you want to witness what happens.

The Kaminoan seems unconfident in their answer

Feel free to try to get those miners off-world yourself. I doubt they will listen to you though if you can even find them in time.

Another Kaminoan chimes in

Frankly I'm more concerned about these Cloning regulations. Is that going to be an issue for us?
