I would agree in exercising caution with this person. Who knows what her real agenda could be. There are plenty of people here fromna lot of different worlds you can surround yourself with and we are all here by the same cause - remember that.
The majority of the meetings I attended as a diplomat were as part of the galatic empire. My father (adopted father at least) briefed me well on what the senate used to be like. A large room with representatives from all systems.
As time went on the council meetings quickly turned from open discussion to a dictatorship, where fear ruled. That's when I started helping the rebellion.
