      Galactic Union Senate, Solus Sector

      Terrace Centralists are, for the most part, a secretive movement. While pressing for economic independence is not illegal, Centralist publications provoke hatred toward I’malar and further an unhealthy relationship between two species who inevitably must now share the Galactic stage. – Old Terrace Order (OTO) Archives

      Logan MacConnell, esteemed General within the Galactic Union, strolled up onto the Union’s Senate floor amidst the towering folds of both Terrace and alien alike who sat in lofty rows above him. It had been nearly one year since the fiasco Dubois’ and her team at the SBG set ablaze. The livid squids watched him with prying eyes atop their pedestals in the Senate and across the Core Systems.

      The Union Senate was an ornate establishment, to put it briefly. Primarily, the architecture drew from Terrace ancestry in the cradle of its civilization, a history he’d read fervently. Lavish marble pillars with steel cores held up a domed ceiling painted with the scars of Terrace past, its mythological figures and conquerors laid bare against the eyes of I’malar.

      Logan stood in the center of the establishment, a mixture of depreciated architecture and mainstream technology blended better than cybernetic implants. Ordinary people forget the pains that paved the way for the present world, the decisions Terrace made that eventually snowballed into the Galactic Union. Terrace forgot what it meant to be human. Terrace had lost more than its pride. Logan was no hero. He was a manipulator, a schemer and a fool’s gambit to vie for a tomorrow that served his own self-interests.

      Logan sighed and wiped the sweat from his brow as he cleared his throat and waited for his benefactors to grand him the audience he had coming. For decades, he’d slaved toward independence. How long had they known about it? How long had they permitted it in public, but scoffed with unruly gestures in private? Logan forced his chin up and stood attentively.

      General MacConnell, you have the floor, the head speaker said. Please proceed with new business.

      The head speaker was a good man, hearty Terrace build. McCoy was every bit the politician his father was, the latter being one of Logan’s contacts within the Centralist movement. He hadn’t gotten around to recruiting the boy, partially because he couldn’t be certain he shared his father’s ideals, but more so that he was afraid to ruin the young man’s image. Once this whole debacle bubbled to the surface, military leaders and especially those within the political realm would face a hailstorm like no other.

      Yes, I have some new business to discuss, Logan said. This was it. He had the floor, but he found himself choking up at the last minute. He hastily covered up his indecisiveness and cleared his throat. "I’m sure the Senate knows of the limits Xarconium places on OTO’s armed forces. We can’t go anywhere in the Core Systems without
