New Republic - Sub Assembly - Rimworlds Bloc
The Rimworlds Bloc is a coalition of Invested Memberworlds dedicated to pursuing the interests of planets beyond the Colonies as New Republic roots begin taking deeper hold there and in the Core. Like all Invested Memberworlds, they're required to commit a pre-determined volume of their resources in some form or another to the centralized New Republic Military. Until recently, there was no return compensation from the galactic body. The Rimworlds Bloc pushed for renegotiations, bringing economic breaks and in some cases arms supply deals to worlds based on their commitments and in the eyes of most in their coalition, an even playing field between themselves and the generally more wealthy Core and Colony worlds. As an ultimate result, Rimworlds are able to better field, equip and train their own defensive forces, and the central New Republic Military enjoys more freedom in their continuing war against the Empire.. a separate issue in the Senate all together.
The Rimworlds Bloc while in charter looking out for the interests of all Memberworlds beyond the Colonies, is comprised of Representatives from the planets Zeltros, Roche and Kashyyyk. Each Bloc world appoints two Representatives to the Assembly. One is always the respective worlds Senator and the second is required to be a more frequently confirmed and elected regional executive from their homeworld, such as a town mayor, regional governor or a chief or tribal elder in the case of such organized societies.
