Araxes,
By order of the Sovereign, The Laandsrat is ordered to expand its membership to include houses of political and financial means. The newly expanded Landsraat Council, in order of their seating:
Dr. Eliza Karsadia Deerhunter, Regent of the Hoto Nagi Zion
Khaliifa Rashad of House Morloch, Desert Born and a House for two thousand years on Araxes.
ProConsul KrakkenAres Pleides of the Myrimidon Order.
Commandant Lux Umbra, of the SSFS and her fleets.
Calina Tereshchenko, House Shanjian
Lady Joan Al Jofar, Chief Magistrate
Khan Jubilynn Lane, Emissary of the Hengeyokai
Lieutenant Laser Rainfall of Starfleet Outpost Ouraios
Registered Companion Fā-Le Yán, Chief of Staff of Bó'ài Hónglián House.
Lady Zenobie Augusta Baxton, Countess Walsingham, House Zenobia of Albion, Union of Allied Planets
Lady Ariadne Fall, Reverend Mother of the Sinisterhood.
The Beit Dawla passed a motion to expand the number of elected delegates from four to six. The Landsraat confirmed the motion. Elections will be held in one lunar cycle (the big moon's cycle, not the little ones).
Doctor Issacs, renowned USD Scientist and longtime resident of Araxes was nominated by the Beit Dawla to be Araxes Defense Minister. The newly expanded Landraat Council confirmed the appointment. The Defense Minister is charged with organizing and regulating the armed forces for the purpose of planetary defense but not to act as a police force, but does not command said planetary defense force. Khaliifa Rashad of House Morloch and Registered Companion Fā-Le Yán of Bó'ài Hónglián House abstained from the vote. ProConsul KrakkenAres Pleides of the Myrimidon Order and Commandant Lux Umbra of the SSFS and her fleets voted nay.
Chief Magistrate Joan al Jofar announced that she was able to secure a peace agreement with the invading Ta'Seti. The Chief Magistrate is still negotiating but believes that the Ta'Seti will be purchasing approximately 75% of the Araxes Desert Spice production. This would be a great windfall to the Great Houses. Drawbacks were discussed about possible shortages, price surges, and the injuries and deaths of miners as a result of increased working shifts.
Dr. Eliza Karsadia Deerhunter of the Hoto Nagi Zion explained that the Ta'Seti require the spice to save their lives. The research is still in development and the regeneration is 2/3rds effective at this point. The Hoto Nagi Regent disclosed that she sent out a messenger to them that if they stopped attacking we would help them as they had promised, but has not received any response from the Ta'Seti.
ProConsul KrakkenAres Pleides of the Myrimidon Order, speaking on behalf of his Ta'Seti cousins claims that the Ta'Seti does not care for the spice, but merely with the distribution of the spice to humanoids reduced to 30% of production.
Registered Companion Fā-Le Yán of Bó'ài Hónglián House counseled:
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
Lieutenant Laser Rainfall of Starfleet Outpost Ouraios stated that although the Federation believes in a peaceful solution before taking any military action, but that we should not be surprised if there is a heavier Federation presence in this system as a result.
Chief Magistrate Joan Vhargon in a gesture of good faith has directed the spice masters to direct 75% of the spice crop to the Ta'Seti claiming that she can do so for up to 90 solar days without government approval.
House Zenobia proposed that Pro Consul Lord Krakken be charged with treason and that the session adjourn for preparations for his trial. Lieutenant Laser Rainfall of Starfleet Outpost Ouraios and Registered Companion Fā-Le Yán of Bó'ài Hónglián House seconded the motion.
Chief Magistrate Joan Vhargon banged her gavel on the table and commanded order in the chamber and with a mention about reports of an increase in smuggling to and from Araxes, called the meeting to adjourn.
A representative of the Space Navigator's Corpus briefly made an appearance.
Lani Yuhara handed out leaflet notices of "PACEA (Political Atmospheric Collection & Exportation Apparatus) Notice of Imperial Contract", as the public starts to leave the room about her company's new project to collect Atmosphere and export it.
However, all these events have now been overshadowed by the recent attempts of murder on those purposing the investigation of ProConsul KrakkenAres Pleides.
An attempt was made to murder Lady Zenobie Augusta Baxton, Countess Walsingham, House Zenobia of Albion, Union of Allied Planets.
Lady Baxton is recovering from the poisoning in an undisclosed location.
Zenobian authorities are investigating several leads.
Speculation is this was meant to prevent her from participating in the proceedings regarding Treason Charges against Myrmidon ProConsul Krakken Ares Pleides.
