Omake: Supreme Chancellor Hondo Ohnaka


The Grand Convocation Chamber of the Galactic Senate had seen many things in its long, storied history. It had witnessed heated debates, broken alliances, and backroom deals that could shake the very foundations of the Republic. But today—today was something different. Today, the Senate, in all its infinite wisdom (or folly), had just elected Hondo Ohnaka as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.

Silence reigned.

Then, from the central podium, Supreme Chancellor-Elect Hondo Ohnaka cleared his throat and adjusted his newly acquired very expensive Chancellor's robe, which he had already customized with gold trimmings and just the right amount of pirate flair. He glanced at the gathered senators, his ever-present grin spreading even wider.

"Ah-ha! My esteemed colleagues, my friends, my… generous investors," Hondo began, clasping his hands together in mock humility. "I must say, this is truly an unexpected turn of events! Not that I doubted your wisdom, of course. No, no, you are all brilliant! Visionaries! Even those of you who thought this was a joke—well, the joke is now running the Republic!"

A few scattered chuckles. Some senators were still too stunned to react. Others were whispering furiously, likely already planning how to navigate this unusual development.

Hondo pressed forward. "Now, I know what you are thinking! 'Hondo, how did you get here? How did a humble businessman, a modest entrepreneur, a respected Senator of the Outer Rim rise to the highest office in the land?' Ah-ha, my friends, that is a wonderful story!"

He spread his arms wide. "You see, I simply did what any good politician does—I bought a planet! Totally legally, of course! And let me tell you, it was a bargain—an Outer Rim beauty, hardly any taxes, just a few, eh, minor pirate problems! But did I complain? No! I rolled up my sleeves—figuratively speaking, I do not actually roll up my sleeves—and I got to work for my people! And when my dear, dear constituents needed a strong leader, who else could they turn to but their most trustworthy benefactor?"

Someone in the crowd coughed, possibly choking on the word trustworthy.

"Now, I understand that some of you may have… concerns about my leadership." Hondo waved a dismissive hand. "You may ask, 'Hondo, will you loot the Republic?' To which I say—of course not!" He placed a hand on his chest, looking deeply, deeply offended. "My friends, I would never steal from the Republic! That would be dishonest! I will simply ensure that business is… profitable for all! I am nothing if not a fair and reasonable businessman!"

A few senators from the Corporate Alliance and Banking Clan looked intrigued. The Jedi delegation, on the other hand, looked increasingly disturbed.

"Now, let us discuss policy!" Hondo continued, stepping away from the podium to casually drape an arm around the nearest senator on his podium.Wich was Bail Organa as the former and now relected Vice Chancellor , who stiffened like a board. "First order of business—cutting through bureaucracy! Too many forms, too many regulations! How can anyone make an honest—or highly creative—credit in this Republic with all this red tape?"

He winked at the Neimoidian senator from the Trade Federation, who suddenly looked like he regretted supporting Hondo's nomination.

"And let us not forget security!" Hondo clapped his hands together. "The Republic is plagued by lawlessness! Pirates, smugglers, bounty hunters—terrible people! Disgraceful! We must deal with them!" His grin widened. "And as someone with extensive experience in such matters, I believe I am uniquely qualified to handle them! Perhaps even offer a… buyout option, yes?"

More senators were now openly muttering. The Jedi delegation was whispering among themselves.

"And finally!" Hondo raised a single finger. "We must improve diplomacy! The Republic has too many enemies! The Separatists! The Hutts! The Mandalorians! The Jedi!" He paused, glancing at the Jedi representatives. "Ah—did I say Jedi? My mistake! You are my dearest friends, of course!"

Master Windu pinched the bridge of his nose.

"So, my dear, dear colleagues," Hondo said, stepping back to the center. "You have made your choice! You have put your trust in Hondo Ohnaka, and I promise you, I shall not let you down! Unless, of course, it is profitable to do so—but let us hope it does not come to that!"

He threw his arms wide. "Now, let us get to governing, yes? And, ah, while we are at it—does anyone know the exact size of the Republic's treasury? No reason! Just… curious!"

The Senate erupted.

Supreme Chancellor Hondo Ohnaka simply laughed.

It was going to be a very interesting administration.

It is... beautiful. I want this to happen. Because it would be such a glorious train wreck.

And there's nothing stopping you from voting for multiple plans.

Not... really? Those flaws all seem like they can be rectified pretty easily with some effort, Jar-Jar learned how to speak Basic and run a galaxy after only a brief moment to pick things up

It's less 'permanent flaws' and more 'Issues the Chancellor can remove if given a moment to focus on it'

According to the cons the outsider will have hard time convince the factions to work with him and peopole will have unusula expectations of the guy and all the political cost for actions will be doubled.

This do not look like things that can fade away and likely will stick with you.

Not to mention we have to get the people above 50% in case we suffer mallus and be at war will be extremely hard to do that since defeats can tank support of the population.

My plan has him as the outsider, this plan has him as the general.

Same man, different buffs, and therefore a different plan.



Also, I literally titled my plan 'Refuge in Audacity'. I included the title of 'Former Pirate (Allegedly)'. I know quite well what I was doing.

I still prefer the General idea, because Hondo could have join the military to maybe escape debts or something and there was a big war against he syndicates, eh could simple join to also avoid the crossfire and only to get distinguish very well there.

Make him less of a sleezbag as well since at least he would be a loyal officer.

My HK-47 can still have him be a Droid Liberator without inserting from another brand and it would scratch the itch for Old EU and KOTOR fans.

Also, canonically HK-47 was revived on Mustafaar so it adds irony.

Oh forgot we fought a crime war of course you would hire operatives that are totally legal *cough* for obvious reasons thats is how hondo got the money to buy a planet and even the clout to do it.

Edit:Seems like a lifetime away with how long this quest has been running.

That would be the route I expect if it somehow won yes. Hondo, seeing the writing on the wall, decides the most profitable venture he could undertake is to sign on as a Republic Privateer.

And because he is possibly the single biggest scoundrel of the entire Clone Wars era, he found himself VERY good at hunting pirates. And then it snowballs, giving him fame, respect, and a fortune in seized assets and bounty prizes. One thing leads to another, and suddenly he's Chancellor.

    Omake: Hondo Ohnaka and the Crime War



    Ah-ha! My friends, let me tell you a most thrilling tale—a story of courage, cunning, and, of course, opportunity!

    Now, you may ask, Hondo, how did a respectable businessman such as yourself find himself in the middle of the Republic's war on crime? And to that, I say—bad luck! And also terrible decision-making on the part of certain officials.

    You see, at the time, I was a modest entrepreneur, simply navigating the, ah, fluctuating legal landscape of the Outer Rim. Then, suddenly, the Republic declared war on crime! A shocking move! Unexpected! And, dare I say, unfair! Because suddenly, my completely legitimate business ventures became… let us say, highly scrutinized.

    So, being the clever negotiator that I am, I made a bold and daring choice—I switched sides! Yes! I became an operative for the Republic! A genius move, really. Because who knows criminals better than Hondo Ohnaka?!

    And that, my friend, is how I found myself on a warship in the middle of some Outer Rim disaster zone, surrounded by serious men with serious blasters, pretending to be a loyal servant of the Republic.

    Now, here is where things get interesting—because that is when I met Wilhuff Tarkin.

    Oh yes! The Grand Admiral himself—well, not yet a Grand Admiral, but even then, I could tell—this man? Very dangerous. The kind of man who would absolutely throw you out an airlock for being five minutes late. The kind of man who has never once in his life told a joke. A terrifying individual!

    But Hondo? Ah-ha, Hondo fears no man!

    So there we were—me, a trusted operative of the Republic, and Tarkin, a grim-faced officer, here for an inspection. And let me tell you, he did not like me one bit!

    "Operative Ohnaka," he said, looking at me like I was something he had just scraped off his boot. "I was not informed that we were employing… individuals of your background in this war effort."

    Ah-ha! I could hear the insult! The disrespect! But did I let it offend me? No! Because I am a man of patience and excellent self-control!

    So I smiled, bowed, and said, "Ah, my dear Minister Tarkin! A pleasure! And please, do not worry—many people have trusted me before, and most of them even lived to regret it!"

    Did he laugh? No! Of course not! But I could see it—deep down, he wanted to!

    Instead, he just narrowed his eyes and muttered, "We shall see."

    And oh, did we see!

    Because later that day, during a very dangerous mission, entirely outside my control, something slightly unfortunate happened! You see, my brilliant plan involved leading some very bad men into a trap. But small mistake—they figured it out first! And suddenly, boom! Blaster fire everywhere! Explosions! Chaos!

    And where was Hondo? Right in the middle of it, of course!

    I had to think fast! So I did the only reasonable thing—I grabbed a blaster, dove behind cover, and yelled, "Tarkin! My friend! Cover me while I heroically save the day!"

    To which he, very rudely, responded, "You coward, get back here and fight!"

    But did I let such slander stop me? No! I was very busy heroically staying alive! And also, I may have, ah, borrowed a shuttle to ensure our escape. A minor detail!

    In the end, we won the day! The criminals were defeated, the Republic celebrated, and Tarkin? Still not impressed!

    "You are a reckless, self-serving opportunist," he told me afterward, scowling as usual.

    And I, being the charming diplomat that I am, simply smiled and said, "Ah-ha! And yet, you are still alive, my dear Minister You are welcome!"

    Did this earn his respect? Ah… no. But did it make me even more famous? Absolutely!

    And that, my friend, is how Hondo Ohnaka became a war hero!

    Now… do I still have time to make a few adjustments to my official Republic record? No reason! Just asking!


    Ps:Ask and you shall receive son! :V

    Edit:Was already writing because of the discussion from earlier and lets just say this is not out of my stash as the omake befor so if you see an typo or anything let me know.

    Remember that droids are now constituents and part of the voting public. I'd assume that if a droid gets elected Supreme Chancellor, then they probably gained the support of that demographic.

    Also, here's @Spart117MC explanation for thematic significance of C-3PO as the Supreme Chancellor after Binks, I myself couldn't had stated it better.

    How about C-3PO for Chancellor then?

    If Jar Jar being from idyllic Naboo makes him a back country hick, then C-3PO coming from space Somalia makes him a refugee. Fella wasn't even built in a proper factory, he was pieced together from spare parts by a child slave. A chancellor who hails from the very Outer Rim that is rebelling, who was once property, and is a droid sounds like an amazing candidate.

    Meanwhile in the real world his character is the precursor to Jar Jar's. Before our favorite Gungan existed, he was Star War's comic relief character. Him being the one voted into office after the Bombad Chancellor would have a certain poetry to it, as George might say.
