The familiar theme of the Hapan News Network is heard and the logo appears on screen before being replaced by the image of Anacia Chalcedon in front of the picturesque Castle of Per’Aghtra.
“Good evening, citizens of the glorious Consortium. Tonight’s top stories in the Hapes Cluster: Royal Council discusses amendments to the Constitution, Hapes Prime planetary shield network undergoing renovations and finally, import of Lorellon fashion to Gormoth skyrockets as new trend catches on. But first we go live to Chume’Dan for the latest scoop on changes within the Hapan hierarchy!”
The image shifts, showing the grand, domed structure that is Lorell Hall, then moves in through the enormous and elaborately decorated gate, up the grand stairwell and to the right, in to the Council of Archons. Various officials of the Hapes Consortium are present, including all the Archons, the Prime Minister and the King himself. An assortment of civil servants and press corps members are present in the audience. An aide announces the Lord of Arxian and Minister Alexander Tylger stands up and walks to the speaker stand. Dressed in a formal Royal Court uniform, the noble gives a polite bow to the King before addressing the crowd.
“Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, Your Honours, ladies and gentlemen… I would like to thank for all for attending this afternoon. The recent reinstatement of the Ministry of the Interior after a year in stasis has led to an extraordinary amount of paperwork for me and my staff to handle. We have found that many aspects of the Hapes Consortium’s laws and regulations are derelict and in immediate need of updating. This is a task that my ministry is currently undertaking, including regular discussions with the Royal Council in order to modernise our judicial system, as well as the government’s routines and modus operandi. Announcements will be made when these changes come in to effect and we shall keep you apprised on what that entails for the average citizen of the Consortium.
On to the point of this conference. In order for me to appropriately devote my full attention to my new tasks within Lorell Hall, I have decided to step down as Archon of the Rim Worlds. It has been an honour to serve all the inhabitants of this culturally rich and diverse region over the last three years. I would like to thank all the nobles of the Rim Worlds, as well as local Royal Hapan Armed Forces officials and Endara Mining Corporation representatives, for their exemplary co-operation with the office of the Archon.
As part of the new shift in the government, authority over the Council of Archons – previously known as the Curia – will transfer back to the Ministry of the Interior. We shall administrate planetary oversight and governance of all of the Hapes Cluster’s worlds that are not directly administrated by the Tarii or national corporations and oversee and advise on those that are.
I can say right now that I am very pleased with the current archons: Vetra Kurov and Kell Archis. To complete the Council of Archons, we had to choose carefully to find someone appropriately suited for the role of regional governor. The Royal Council wanted someone who could be diplomatic, but still hands on, should the need arise. The man we selected is a rising star in the hierarchy of the Hapes Consortium and a natural choice for the job. Congratulations to Baldamar Dronos, the new Archon of the Rim Worlds.”
Lord Tylger applauds along with the crowd and moves to the side as the Cathar civil servant approaches the podium and bows to the assembled dignitaries before taking the stand.
“Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, Your Honours. Thank you all so much for this splendid opportunity to serve the Consortium in yet another manner. I pledge to honourably serve the inhabitants of the Rim Worlds with my utmost abilities. I shall forever do my best to preserve the history and culture of the region while plunging ahead in to the prosperity of the future!”
Dronos steps down from the podium and shakes hands with Minister Tylger as the image fades back to Anacia Chalcedon in the studio.
“We will return with more top stories after these messages!”
The studio fades out as a brief commercial break starts…
