There are two struggles in this world.
Kayelin had served her second term in the GBE as high minister. She could serve two more, if they voted for her. Kayelin was the head of the Galactic Empacratic Party. The problem was, despite judgement day the increased funding to the military and the absolute predicted economic hardship that would come with rebuilding TIE, the average GBE citizens can’t now afford their common luxuries. It was ridiculous. However the Inner Prosperity Party was right, in that if they can’t take care of their own people, they couldn’t take care of TIEs people. What was she gonna do? Prioritize the people of TIE over the people if the GBE? She was backed into a corner here. She knew that the economy needed to be strengthened yet she needed everything to fuel the crusade she had declared. The head of the Prosperats, Akhstafa Khactro’ch, Kayelin’s biggest competitor, wants to make TIE an independent state that would pay for their own reforms. This was an outrageous idea thought Kayelin. Uneducated culturally shocked racists are the worst possible voters for a democratic government. Democracy does not work if the culture isn’t adapted for it. The GBE must establish that culture. TIEs own state would also be economically weak, which would require funding anyways. Kayelin had been having this same thought process for weeks. Akhstafa was popular, too popular on war devastated worlds such as Gelu and Anrillia and he was potentially the first non-human GBE high minister. His focus on stronger economy, less military expansion, focus on the home front with improvements in systems and living made the prosperity part go from having 5% of seats in the council last election to having 24% of seats according to polls this year. Kayelin looked over to the little model of an Archangel heavy cruiser. Had the people forgotten what true suffering was like? The people of the GBE didn’t hunger, live in poverty, live in slavery. Why do they cry like spoiled kids when they can’t get their daily entertainment. The crusade must not stop.

There are two struggles in this world. One to help others, and one to help oneself.
