A special session of the Senate had been called and Bail Organa was running late. His speeder had been caught in air traffic and he arrived just as Dekau Fedan, the Ithorian Vice-Chair, was calling the chamber to order. Ithorians were equipped with four throats, and combined together they reached quite a volume. “Did I miss anything?” he asked his aide Sheltray Retrac, fortunately she had arrived there before him. “No, it’s just starting,” she said. As for the reason for the special session, that was made apparent without further ceremony. Bail felt it was time to step in.
