Senate emergency defense session

"Irate senators stormed out in protest over decisions which left their representative sectors exposed to attack. Many of the Republic's diplomatic allies refused to commit their military support to the greater cause. It was every system for itself."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

In the early days of the Great Galactic War, the Galactic Republic suffered several successive losses to the newly-discovered Sith Empire in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. After the Republic Navy's defeat in the Tingel Arm and several other defense failures across the Rim, the Galactic Senate and the Jedi High Council called for an emergency congressional session to organize the Republic Military's defense of the galaxy. The session was inconclusive, as the delegates attempting to select the military's priorities were unable to agree, with many declaring that they were unwilling to participate if their worlds were not properly defended.

Description
"Republic leaders and members of the Jedi Council arranged an emergency meeting in the Senate to prioritize the galaxy's defense, but the session quickly became mired in politics."

History
"Horrifying reports from the Outer Rim seemed to portend the utter destruction of the Republic. The rapid onset of galaxy-wide terror and panic was part of the Sith Emperor's meticulous calculations. His plan was flawless."

- Gnost-Dural

Controversy
"This was perhaps the greatest genius of the Emperor's plot. He had turned the Republic against itself."
