The Emperor alerted all news networks that he is about to speak to the people and explain this new conflict.

"My fellow Coredians and people of the Galaxy. Many of you know that several weeks ago, a fleet made up of Ork ships has attacked us at the signing ceremony of the UFP and tried to 'punish us' for not allowing them entrance into the alliance. We have then pursued the Orks back to their home planet."

At this time, the Emperor took a deep breath. The reaction of the people will depend on what he said next.

"We have pursued in this police action, and realized that the Orks have exacted terrible losses on our marines when they rammed and boarded several Star Destroyers. When we reached the planet called Gantris IV, we found that the Orks have had 250 million slaves under their ugly iron fists. Under advice of my grandfather Master Tenchi, I have ordered the complete destruction of that planet, because I knew that our marine divisions would not be able to defeat the Orks and free the slaves. Ladies and gentlemen, I did not make this decision lightly. In fact, it was the most terrible decision that I could ever make, and now, my hands are stained with their blood."

The Emperor took another deep breath. He pulled out his lightsaber and placed it on the desk in front of him, an odd gesture.

"If the majority of the people so choose, I shall abdicate the throne, and be tried if and when charges are placed against me. I allow this, because I know how horrified you must be that I ordered the bombardment, even though I did it to save the Marines' lives. I await your decision, and may the Force be with you."

Murmers rose in the Senate as the Emperor stepped down from the podium, and his political advisors looked like they were about to have a heart attack. But his son Daniel looked at him in a new light. By telling the truth of what transpired, he realized that his father had to be the bravest man he hever knew.

The people soon spent the next several days in the voting booths, deciding whether or not the Emperor should step down and be charged with war crimes.

OOC: so heart-warming :'|

It was a great debate in the nation, even as war looms on the horizon. People argued one way or another about the merits of the bombardment. The Senate wanted to lynch him, but it was the people who made the decision.

A faint, familar drumming tune came to the window outside the Palace overlooking the main street.

National Anthem (http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/cttitle.mid)

The Emperor looked out the window and saw an amazing sight. The general public has turned out by the thousands...to support him?

Signs like "Don't Abdicate" and "We don't care about Orks!" and "We trust you, Mr. Emperor!" rose up as the guards watched for trouble.

"Dad!" Daniel said. "My friend's parents called to say that they don't want you to go! Here, Jack gave it back to me!"

He threw his father's lightsaber to Andrew. He looked out the window, then back at Daniel. The people actually trusted me? Even after I slagged the Orks?

Of course, some of the people obviously wanted him out, but the majority shouted them down. The Emperor realized that the people have chosen, and they want him to stay. He grinned, and ignited his lightsaber high in salute, a green torch in the sky! The public roared their approval! Oh, what a sight to see!

"My people," He boomed, using the Force to carry his voice across the crowds. "Why have you chosen to let me stay?"

A self-appointed spokesman with a bullhorn replied. "We knew that any other person in your position would have lied and tried to keep power by force or other unscripulous methods. You told the truth, and though at first we didn't like it, we now know that...Emperor Masaki, you did the right thing under the circumstances! You brought our soldiers home, even though you could have fought them ugly Orks, maybe won, maybe lost. That is what counts, that you cared for us! We are sorry we had to kill the slaves, but is it not better to die free than to live in chains? If you need to do what you need to do again, we support you!"

The crowd cheered again, and the Emperor's throat choked. "Yes...you are right! I accept your decision, my friends! May the Force be with you...all!"

"and May the Force be with you, too!" The crowd replied and cheered again.

Jennifer, sobbing happily, ran into her husband's arms and they kissed like they never kissed before. Daniel pumped his fists in the air in victory and father and son gave a high-five.

OOC: Now's a good time to try and assassinate the guy and the Emperor...

I find it a great relief that you are staying in power and serving your people. Should any power attempt to remove you by force, you have our full support.
R.L. XX

If anyone attack you, you have are full support. We will fight by your side anytime you need us.

Statement from Lord Commander Dante of Baal to coreworlds

We fully support your choice to detonate a planet in order to stop the orks. You did what was needed and there is no shame in that. After all, the ends justify the means.

Skeelzania formally challenges the Election Results. Judging by the response, its obivous the Emperor neglected to tell them he murdered over 200 million people in the process of stopping the Orks.

We still await his turning over to a War Crimes Tribunal. The results of this election have no bearing on this demand.

The Emperor told the people that he had to kill the slaves in order to stop the Orks. It was obviously implied when he said he destroyed the planet and that 200 million slaves were on the planet. And no, we will not turn over the Emperor to a War Crimes Tribunal. Our constitution is explicit in that only a majority of the Senate can order the Emperor to be turned over. Obviously, this hasn't happened.

The orks were going to kill them anyways. Coreworlds and its allies would have lost a lot men, if they have to fight a ground war with the orks. He will not be turn over to a War Crimes Tribunal and if you try to get him, you will have hell to pay.

OOC: No offense, but you'll earn a lot more respect on the forums if you clean your posts up a bit. :)

OOC: I'm gonna have to disagree with CorpSac here. The Orks are not the brightest bunch in the galaxy, but they have an innate grasp of warfare and would of decimated a force the sized you prorposed (5 million). Air Superiority would of been easy to obtain over them, but the Orks have an unhealthy love for AA guns of all sorts. They also have (or had, I don't think any made if off world) crude mechs which could be troublesome. Basically their a carbon copy technology-wise of the WH40K orks, so you would had your hands full in a ground assault.

Personally, I think it would of made a more interesting RP that simply blowing them to hell.

OOC: Yeah. Well, there will probably be other chances to fight the Orks, eh?

We, of the Greater East Asian Republic of -Noir-, are deeply disappointed at the Emperor Anderw's choice in calling this ludicris election. We all know that the Emperor had done as much as he can to save the slaves, being held captive by the Orks. We full heartedly support Emperor Andrew, and urge him to stay in power.

He must be pretty impotent then, since he did nothing to save the slaves, deciding it was simply cheaper to slag the planet than even carry out negotiations.

believe what you want to believe...CW tried the best he can to help them.

We believe what we saw. A Skeelzanian frigate monitored the entire battle, and for its entire course Coreworlds may no effort to negotiate a peace with the Orks. Even after they had acheived complete space superiority, and the Orks had clearly stated they had 250 million elf and human slaves on the planet, Emperor Masaki gave the go-ahead for the complete sterilization of Gantris IV.

You'll have to get me yourself, Lord Commander Dante. And believe me, I will not be easy to defeat. Mark my words.

OOC-Wha wha what? I was praising you. :confused:

IC- Statement from Lord Dante to Skeelzania

You are truly a fool, you cannot negotiate with orks, they are a race that feeds only on war and have no desire to do anything else but kill. I have fought them thousands of times, peace and negotiation with orks is not a option. You are a fool, cease your incesent whining. The emperor did what needed to be done. The ends justify the means.

OOC: not really lets see *baseing of a WH40K ork*, most battles between orks and humans normaly the orks out number the humans to about 3 to 1 yet still get there butts kicked. There Crude mecha is not really that Troublesome even if its a WH40K, Orks are not that grate at warfare (again based on WH40K) since there idea of a good idea is to swarm you running at the people with big guns and hope to hell to get there befor the guns cut them up, since an Ork is best suited to hand to hand combat (once in H&H combat the odds turn and its something like 3 to 1 for the orks) they want to get as close to someone as they can.
thats one major reason there grate at takeing over ships, there not much room in there and they can get up close (Orks are grate pirates). and 5 million was an unhealth guess, i would have just sent in my Legion of Space Marines (got of gronde, the WH40K Space marines) cleaned up the Orks with a legion or 2 from my normal space marines as support.

(ooc : hmm.. interesting)
