Report: Orion Executive Update
To: Commander Krr'asha, Orion Desk
Greetings,
The following is a short overview of the current Motarr cabinet, with biographies. Note this is designated as Motarr I -- if changes are made to the cabinet subsequent reports will be denoted by numeric increases: II, III, IV, etc. Also included is a short overview of the composition of the Security Council, without biographies. Note that General Venetta Pol Orsenni was Chief Military Officer until a week ago. We are not sure as of yet for the reasons behind her dismissal, but we believe it involved a plan to expand the Aerocommandos.
Regards,
Lieutenant Pouren, Starfleet Intelligence
Executive Council - Motarr Administration I (2315- )
President: Golq Motarr
Age 50 - Male
Born Golq Nevarr, Motarr is the first Orion man to become President. He is consistently described as some combination of young, charismatic, and energetic. His background is unremarkable, his father a nurse, his mother a security contractor and later, police detective. His agenda has been focused on internal development of the Orion Union -- building schools, hospitals, and modern waste treatment facilities. His major claim is that by joining the Federation, the Union will ensure it can ensure the security of its foundational principles and advocate more strongly for them as part of an "Orion Empire, Reborn From Its Liberated Slaves."
Vice-President: Ero Ye Wencanna
Age 98 - Female
An elder stateswoman, Wencanna has served as the representative for Bradia for almost 40 years. Her age and experience, as well as ties to the old TuP guard, is seen as the primary reason for Motarr making her his choice as running mate. Bradia saw extensive Starfleet intervention during the Syndicate campaign, and it may have been their success there that softened Wencanna's long-time stance against Federation membership.
Chief of Staff: Yeyet Ginsberg Lolham
Age 50 - Female
According to some, Lolham is the real brains behind Golq Motarr's platform. The two have been close friends since Motarr first ran for office, and has served in various senior roles in his office and on campaigns since. While an influential voice, to credit all of Motarr's policy ideas to Lolham is flatly incorrect, although it remains a popular meme that reinforces additional memes painting Motarr as an airhead. As Chief of Staff Lolham is known for her tight managerial style.
Executive Woman: Kayari Cam Motarr
Age 56 - Female
Kayari Cam Motarr, nee Moteyen is the first Executive Woman in the history of the Union. Kayari is viciously mocked by a small by vocal group on social media for, among other things, not forcing Motarr to take her last name. Her harassers claim that this proves she is the submissive, pathetic partner in her marriage with President Motarr. This belies her very privileged background -- as a member of the powerful Moteyen banking family, she had the best schools and best opportunities, and was a senior director of the company's Celos branch. In other political climates she might be seen as a power in her own right; but in the Union she is instead the subject of cruel memes.
Executive Director Justice: Eliasyn Yathcha
Age 82 - Female
At one point, Yathcha was the Vice-President of the Union under Oyana, a constitutional arrangement that made the Vice-President the leader of the party who could command the confidence of the legislature. After CAP gained the plurality of seats in 2305, she was replaced by Dawind Byis, and further reforms cemented him in this position. As a hardline TuP politician, she was considered a front-runner for the Presidency. Instead, she was defeated by Motarr in the primaries, and given a cabinet position in compensation. As a former judge known for her incorruptibility (but often accused of partisan bias), she makes an excellent Justice Director.
Executive Director Foreign Affairs: Tolsi Mennen
Age 72 - Female
Considered old by the standards of the rest of the cabinet, Mennen was called upon for her extensive experience with the United Federation of Planets. Having grown up on Rigel, she later joined Starfleet Academy and served in the Explorer Corps, eventually serving on the USS Enterprise. After having a brush with near-death during the Mutara Nebula incident, she transferred to the regular fleet USS Yorktown. Having had another brush with death during the whale probe incident, she elected to retire at the rank of Lieutenant Commander. She then made the difficult decision to leave her life of comfort in the Federation behind and become involved in the emerging order in Orion Space. Mennen is well-respected across party lines, and a valuable asset as the Union approaches Federation membership.
People's Advocate for Labour: Aranet Mov
Age 57 - Female
Plain-spoken and laconic, Mov is a long-time community organizer on Alukk. She has spent most of her life attempting to build more fairness into the market system of the Union. An avowed capitalist, she believes that the invisible hand often is pushed in the direction of powerful interests, instead of the interests of the people. This combination of social awareness and hard-nosed economic belief has made her a valuable ally in the Motarr government, and an important link between the labour groups Motarr is attempting to court and the capitalists he is trying to constrain.
Executive Director Finance: Hahn Xennos
Age 62 - Female
Xennos is one of the busiest women in the Union. She is in charge of distributing funds for recovery from the long battle with the Syndicate, overseeing the rollout of a government budget larger than any previous, the expansion of multiple departments to keep up with the rush of spending, and then finding the money to pay for it all. She's also responsible, alongside Yathcha, for making sure none of it is misplaced. Straight-laced and reserved, she's known for buying a new jacket before the presentation of a new budget.
People's Representative of Public Safety: Nalah Eziten
Age 65 - Female
Another elder member of the Cabinet, Eziten has served as a member of Congress for thirty-five years before she was called upon to lead the Public Safety Department, newly established by the Constitutional Convention. A difficult portfolio in part due to the newness, it is Eziten's job to integrate the Union Civil Security Services and the various Planetary Defense Forces, along with border security, disaster response, and intelligence duties. Eziten has handled this broad position, sometimes called 'Baby Starfleet', with competent professionalism. She often serves as something of a mentor to some of the younger Directors.
Executive Director Defense: Coranna Ellio
Age 56 - Female
Ellio resigned in protest over Starfleet's involvement at the start of the Syndicate campaign, and then survived a subsequent assassination attempt by rogue elements of Reconnoitre Bloc. Ellio's profile was raised further as she appeared on holoscreens throughout the Syndicate wars as a defense expert, and proved to be logical and well-spoken, if occasionally hot-tempered. Her appointment was possibly motivated by Motarr wishing to deflect criticism that he has bowed to the Federation, and by extension, Starfleet.
Director Space Force: Jaia Forrez
Age 50 - Female
A skilled navigator and helmswoman during her time in the Space Force, Forrez has an admitted fondness for the smaller escort designs of the Union. However, this has given her first-hand experience with their unreliability and fragility. She has been tasked with assisting in the overhaul of the military-industrial complex in the Union to better integrate with the Federation, and has also lobbied hard for increased cruiser and explorer production, and the wholesale replacement of Union escorts with foreign designs. She is known for being shy, independant, but forceful in her writing.
Director Planetary Force: Hallet Sajo
Age 40 - Male
Hallet Sajo retired from the Aerocommandos with the rank of Colonel upon completion of the Celos campaign, having suffered numerous injuries -- and winning numerous medals. An intelligent counterinsurgency specialist, he earned the loyalty of his troops on Duaba by being an officer who was agressive and lead from the front. After being injured in action, he served as an intelligence officer in the Celos campaign. He has praised for his insight and skill in rooting out insurgent cells. Despite his deliberate and soft-spoken demeanor, he still carries himself like a man who will use his military enhancements to snap your spine.
Executive Director Health and Wellness: Taars bav Jaahrinn [Tellarite]
Age 36 - Female
The daughter of an immigrant Tellarite family, Jaahrinn has worked as an administrator at the Alukk Central hospital for the last five years, and earned a good rapport with various health labor groups during that time. This has made her ideal for the implementation of a wide-ranging TuP health expansion plan. Like most Tellarites she is curt and blunt, and the fact she was raised around Orions has not tempered this -- just the opposite, in fact. Iorin Grann was reportedly even taken aback by her blunt candor and insults during a tour of wounded in Alukk Central; this is from a man who has deeply studied ancient forms of Tellarite debate. Motarr seems to find this endearing, and reportedly uses her as a sort of verbal battering ram outside her duties in Health.
Executive Director Commercial Development and Procurement: Polken Anar
Age 59 - Male
Anar awkwardly holds a position that, under a slightly different name, was held by the infamous Valerita Garita; President Oyana symbolically refusing to fill the position after Garita committed treason. Uncomfortably, as with Garita, Anar was chosen for his extensive industry contacts. However, while he has been assigned to onboard industry with various government initiatives, he has also been handed the unenviable task of assisting in drafting anti-monopoly legislation and then carrying it out. Dismantling the hypercorps while procuring vital goods from them, all while avoiding an economic depression, remains is a stressful part of his job. This concern consumes the already-neurotic Anar's every waking moment -- and most of his nightmares, too.
People's Advocate for Infrastructure and Development: Kavayeb Frasha
Age 39 - Male
Frasha has been overseeing the development of small colonies on the Orion frontier for years, and thanks to this experience was part of the Committee overseeing the distribution of Federation aid to Syndicate-affected worlds. His deft hand in selling aid to a market economy earned him the attention of Motarr, and Frasha has been instrumental in ensuring an ambitious agenda of development becomes reality. He combines the approach of an academic with the demeanor of a ranch hand, wearing his 'dirtbait colonial' background with pride.
Veteran's Advocate: Konik Hekenn
Age 45 - Male
Hekenn lost his arms in a tragic accident on a crab trawler when he was 23. Undeterred, he stretched his meagre severance package while performing well enough at school to be admitted into one of the top law schools on Akola, having impressing his professors enough they established a fund for him to complete his very expensive studies. After working for a decade at high-powered law firms and paying them back, he shifted his focus to social advocacy and debt relief. Hekenn is gregarious and always quick with a joke, possibly to deflect attention from his obvious prosthetics.
Ambassador to the United Federation of Planets: Olrrai Ulthriss [Amarki]
Age 42 - Male
Olrrai is a relatively recent immigrant, having travelled to Orion space to test his mettle against Cyaugs as a fighter in 2304. He chose to stay after placing high in several tournaments and earning a hefty pay package. Having since earned a degree of renown with the Orions and back home with the Amarki, after the contribution of the Amarki to the liberation of Celos he was seen as a solid pick for Federation ambassador. Ulthriss is known for being less polished than some of his more senior ambassadors in the capital, but he makes up for it with a disarming wit, and the demeanour of someone who has seen too much bloodshed in thier life, and seeks to avoid it.
