In the Senate, sentients were gathered for the afternoon session. Such events were not what they used to be. Formerly the representatives of the Republic would engage in debate, vote on an issue and it would be passed. Now all that was gone thanks to Palpatine’s emergency powers.

At this Danta moved his pod into the arena. “I’ve spoken with Obi-Wan,” Padmé told him. “And?” “It would,” Bail agreed. “Thank you.”
