The Unbidden have won a permanent seat on what remains of the Galactic Council following a close vote earlier this week.
The extra-dimensional invaders secured the 51% vote threshold required after absorbing the Outer Rim’s entire thirteen-member voting block.
It joins the three surviving permanent members of the council – the Techzid, Lokken and Blorg, who issued congratulations from the one remaining wing of the Insterstellar Assembly which wasn’t destroyed by the recent Unbidden assault on the station.
The nameless Unbidden avatar who represents the mysterious beings thanked the scattered remnants of the Galactic Community in a televised address, stating: “Know… this. You are… food. Nothing more…”
The entity went on to outline the Unbidden’s legislative agenda for 2254/55, which includes:
Blocking the Galactic Community’s ability to vote on declaring the Unbidden invasion an emergency by abolishing the Galactic Community
Reallocating energy credits away from pan-galactic defence initiatives and towards Unbidden conservation programs
Tough new regulations on space-whaling
Minority Senate leader Nogrom, speaking from his government bunker on Hyperion, emphatically welcomed the result of the vote, stating the Unbidden “ran a campaign which really centred around the most important issues facing the galaxy right now.” He added that he hoped “our new overlords would remember those who voted as they were told.”
The announcement has however drawn criticism, particularly from the Orbis MegaCorp, whose CEO Seph Orbis stated he was “disappointed” that the Galactic Council had not honoured his agreement to purchase a permanent seat earlier this year. He confirmed he would appeal the decision to the Galactic Supreme Court “as soon as it is rebuilt and the new extra-dimensional justices are nominated.”
What remains of the Galactic Community is expected to return to session later this month after repairs have been completed on the Insterstellar Assembly, when a further emergency vote is scheduled on once again repealing the Minor Administrative Sanctions Bill.
