Q'arnn Del-Qota stood on his platform in the Grand Convocation Center, surrounded by his thousands of peers. He cleared his throat and began to speak into his microphone.
"For too long the Republic has ignored the signs of threats to its very existence looming in the dark corners of space," Q'arrn said in Galactic Basic, a rare feat for his species. "Tales tell of mysterious disappearances of spacers on Outer-Rim runs, and the Hutts have grown more aggressive with each passing day. All around us are signs of earthquakes threatening to rock the solid foundation on which this Republic is built, and under this Chancellorship nothing has been done to prevent it. It is time we invest in our future and invest in defending our democratic society by investing in a leader who has the courage and the knowledge to do what it takes to assure the safety of the Republic. I even have sources in the Jedi Temple that tell me they feel darkness looming, and that the time to arm ourselves may be drawing dangerously near, and it is time for a war-time chancellor. I pray you all realize it before it is too late. So for the good of the Republic, I throw my hat in the ring and announce my candidacy for Supreme Chancellor, in hopes that a strong effort will be made to safeguard the values we hold dear: Freedom, Justice, and Equality. Thank you," he said, acknowledging the cheers from the crowd and returned to his senate float's seat.
