As you may or may not know, during the mass exodus the gem caused, commonly referred to as "the great purge", one of the people that was taken was Galador's own Queen Irinia. Previously, she had governed over all of the "regional" rulers here, making sure nobody got too power-hungry, or grew too radical, or tried starting wars.
Since she was taken, we've gotten very lucky in that the regional rulers have found things to occupy them more than antagonizing each other or other worlds. But that won't last. And we need something in place.
I've been speaking with Commander Gendo Ikari as well as Cosmo, and we've come up with a concept we call The Grand Council of Galador. A group of hand-picked individuals to govern over the regional rulers as a group of intelligent individuals with a mix of battlefield experience, compassion, political influence, and technological expertise.
And you were one of the first individuals we thought of, Senator Amidala.
