- Apaltar

Count Apaltar is a male politician that currently serves as the Count of the  world of Apatalore. Born on the Apationagtus homeworld of Apheria in the, he later migrated to the and helped establish a Republic colony on the planet Apatalore. When he became Count, he grew in influence, but refused to accept the creation of the, but kept the location of his world and people safe from the Empire's grasp.

Like most of his people, Apaltar dislikes the current Praesator,, seeing her as a power-hungry tyrant. Apaltar firmly believes the Republic in Exile should seek allies and way to live in peace with the Empire instead of bringing conflict to the colonies.

Early History
Apaltar was born on the homeworld of Apheria in 44 BNE. Apaltar was born into a family of great importance to his family's country on Apheria with his father being a count. As the Count's only offspring, Apaltar was in the running to be his successor. However, as he grew older he wasn't intent on remaining on Apheria, instead being captivated by the stories of the stars. On the eve of his twentieth birthday, his father died suddenly, leaving Apaltar with the position of Count. With such a powerful position, Apaltar was chosen by the Government of the Cyrannian Republic to lead a new colony being set up in the. After much thought, Apaltar agreed.

Count of Apaltore
Apaltar travelled to the newly established Cyrannian colonies in Quadrant 82 along with a large population of his fellow Apationagtus, who remained fiercely loyal to their noble Count. When he became the Count of Apaltore, he immediately began a friendship with many senators from both the and, the most notable of these friendships being with the young Senator Chuinaylia of the Chinawyka. Under his leadership, he helped put his small colony on the map as one of the most influential planets in the Cyrannian colonies. His influence led many to believe that he should become a Senator, but Apaltar refused, believing that the Senate was ineffectual. Instead, the Chinawyka known as became senator, a figure that Apaltar disliked. Luckily, Apatalore was spared any conflict in the, though it suffered some economic setbacks as a result of increased prices. When the Great Cyrannus War ended, Apaltar was puzzled that the Republic was replaced by an imperialist Empire. Apaltar didn't know how to react but when his heavily Cyrandian people expressed their outrage, he decided not to join it. Only a few hours after hearing the news, he travelled to in an attempt to end the closing of the Quadrantia - Cyrannian wormhole. He addressed the Rambo Senate and claimed that not everyone in the URC declared the Rambo as traitors. He was backed up by his friend Chuinaylia and the Chairman of Ivalaé. The discussions lasted two hours and the harsh words of his former allies wounded Apaltar greatly. After the discussions, Apaltar returned to Apatalore where he oversaw the creation of the under the leadership of his rival Adelheidis. During the second month of 03 NE/06 AQF Apaltore was visited by Mer Mirea who requested an audiance with Adelheidis. He welcome her at Apaltore and invited the Libertus inside his palace. He talked to her at a large and richly decorated balcony- a place Apaltar like to invite vistors. He first expressed his surprise that the senator had found the Exiles, to his surprise she said she was no senator of the Imperial Senate anymore. When she asked for aid against the Empire, Apaltar replied he had no intresst in war but assured her he had his support.

After she left Apaltar began wondering if he should seek out his "former" allies again, perhaps Chuinaylia or even the Hutters could be of any aid. It would be risky, but better than to aks outsiders from beyond the Cyrannia Cluster.

Physical Appearance
Apaltar is similar in appearance to other members of his race, having a mixture of dark blue and black skin with a red colouration on the features on his head. He is considered rather small compared to other Cyrannian races, reaching 2.7 metres in height. As a figure of great importance, he often wears a very noticeable outfit including a red suit with dark grey patterns as well as a large hat made using the same material.

Personality and Traits
Apaltar is considered by his people to be an honourable and noble leader who has the best interests of his people at heart. However, some claim that Apaltar shows preference for his own people, though Apaltar denies these claims. Apaltar dislikes power and war hungry individuals and believes that war can be avoided in most cases by sitting down and talking. Unlike many Republic loyalists during the, Apaltar believes that peace with the Empire is possible and aspires to help construct a new Republic alongside the Empire in peace.
